You want shit to do to make money, or just fun stuff? If you just want fun things to do, try riding a motorcycle at top speed through some of the long alleys on the first island. That gets pretty hairy. Also, listen to the all-talk station--there's some funny shit on there.

Follow the missions till you can buy real estate and then ignore them! Fernando makes speeding legal! :D

I urge you to steal a tank. This deed will set you apart from 98% of gamers who can't do it. Its even EASY if you've got a brain :) They are however deadly boring to use.

And do the bike/helicopter stunt-y things. And get the feds after you as soon as you can to nick an MP5! Aaaaah... VC.... :)

Stealing a tank is fucking easy, from what I've seen Uts do. If what Stark says is true, then I guess 98% of GTAVC players shouldn't even be able to breath...

Pfft, it's easy to steal a tank.

Just take it to a garage of your own instead of where you are supposed to during that one Cortez mission. :P

Fuck the MP5. You have to stand still to fire. MAC10 is the shit.

Other than that:

Top vehicles:
Blista Compact,
Comet,
Sanchez,
Faggio (if you DON'T do a police/FBI/Army chase while on the Faggio AND LIVE then you are not a real man).
Infernus.

Top Weapons:
Chainsaw rampages are hella fun. Not the scripted "Kill Frenzy rampages", just running around with a Chainsaw...
Magnum, for when you have to put the fuckers down first time.
SPAS-12. Oooooh yeeeeaah.

I'd reccomend getting used to the controls before doing any missions, and then exploring/doing missions to make money/blowing shit up.

The PCJ is the shizzle. Nothing like weaving in and out of traffic for fifteen minutes.

Until you hit wall, or car, or pole in a high speed spectacular crash were you go flying forward faster than your bike, and soon afterwards your bike slides over you, killing you instantly no matter what health you previously had (even 200 armor and 200 health) :D :lol:
Though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Beat as many people to death as you can with a golf club before the cops get on you. Then use a Tec-9 or MAC-10 and wait for the Feds. May want to find shelter unless you have something to take down the damn chopper and the sniper inside it.

And yes, listen to the radio a lot and buy the soundtracks if you love '80s music.
