Just putting this out there. I watched both the Microsoft and Nintendo Live shows. I watched all of Nintendo's and over an hour of Microsoft. NO EMBLEMS. Also got screwed on the Day 1 emblem.

And Nintendo sucked so bad...FML

So playing the new GTA I found small little things that Rockstar left out that in previous versions were there. After scanning through google, I found others who feel the same as I do. The argument against this is that Rockstar wanted the player to have a more intimate experience with the character. Others say that these small little things is what it is, small. I disagree with both of these claims because when it comes to the GTA series once I get detailed small things, I expect that exact same thing and even more. Anyways, here is my list of stuff that I had before that Rockstar has now taken. And remember little things add up.



1. Planes - greatly watered down from SA. i wanna jump out of a jumbo plane and parachute to a roof.



2. Swimming - Listen, it's not that I ever cared about swimming under water in SA, but go forward with it, not backwards. make it more exciting. Like Submarines, a guy at the floor with his feet dried up in cement. Does anyone remember a Bond, or Tomb Raider movie that had those hand held jets. HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE. Big let down.



3. Car Customizing - Here is the "once you introduce it to me, don't take it away". I know Niko is not a gangster, but are you telling me nobody in NY Customize their cars. I want NITRO! Yes on everything.



4. The stupid Forklift - i know. I just wish I could lift the fork up so i can ram it into anything higher than a snail.



5. Helicopter Missiles - For those hard to reach spots



That's all so far. I am enjoying the story, it's just all of these small things have me writing this and wondering if anyone else have seen other things left out, or if I am wrong about all of this. I have not finished the game as of me writing this. But I am half way through.

So this is not new i'm sure, but I really hate when my controller's battery dies because I then have to use the short cable to connect and charge. The set up I have forces me to get a chair and sit as far as the cable will let me, three feet from the 46'. (SUCKS).

So I thought about a way to charge my controller so I A. don't have to keep my system running while charging and B. continue to play while charging (only not three feet away from the TV.

So I had my laptop in front of me and put two and two together. SWEEEEEEEET!

Not only can i charge on my Mac, but I can play at the same time. I also liked that PS3 will still see the controller and can display the charging window.

I love this S#$.
