They're trying to get themselves 'unintentionally' DDOSed so they can demand better servers from their provider.

Jesus loving christ, GTA5.

8:00 PM: I decide to pick up GTA5 with a friend.
8:55 PM: I insert GTA5 into my xbox, it proceeds to red ring. forget.
9:30 PM: We wrap my xbox in towels and proceed to let it melt itself together. It works.
10:00 PM: The GTA5 installation fails for the fifth time or so, ending in a crash. We decide to get a new xbox, that's how dedicated we were.
10:30 PM: We leave Target with a new xbox, deciding to take back roads to get home as fast as possible.
10:40 PM: I exit a turn going more than double the posted suggested limit, with a cop in front of me redirecting traffic. I stop in front of him, scaring the stuff out of him. There's a bad accident ahead, whatever, continue the drive home.
11:30 PM: Successfully installed GTA5.
4:00 AM: Go to bed.

My journey to play this game was about the most epic journey I've had in a year.

depending on the xbox console (original, elite, or new slim) you could've just replaced the hard drive
not if it's slim though, I don't think that works
Everytime I use my old hard drive in my xbox, it gets the red ring, but if I just use my newest one, it's perfectly fine. I have the elite though.

i'm surprised nobody is talking about
SPOILER:
trevor beating up Johnny's ass

DUDE NO
that forgeted me up
but it's okay, Trevor's a better character

and also, for those of you wondering about Packie, I'm not sure if this can be considered a spoiler or not but just in case: Near Franklin's old house, there's a random event where you meet Packie and this other guy, and you become their getaway vehicle. It's pretty awesome, and if you complete it you can use Packie in one of your heists.

Nah, the issue was an issue with the heatsink not properly cooling the processor. Heating the inside of the xbox to exorbitant temperatures makes the motherboard more pliable and increases contact with the heatsink and thus cooling. To fix it I'd have to do more work than I'd want to, plus I would have had to wait until today to play the game. I've had that xbox for like six years, so I figured I would just put it out of its misery instead of turning it into Frankenstein.

When do you do the second heist? I just beat the FIB mission, and skipped the fighting from the one where you kill the Balla dude Stretch knew.
I did Yoga, I liked the mission, but I feel bad as stuff for Michael. Spoilers:
His family moves out, his son steals his car, his daughter says "forget you" a lot to him. His life is basically ruined. And he ends up naked walking/driving home after being drugged by an old dude that probably wants to forget Jimmy.
