"Cool Grand Theft thingies"

Now might not be the most appropriate time for a topic like this, but talking about games tends to take my mind of more important matters. Anyhoo, now that I own the lovely Grand Theft Auto 3 on PS2, I was wondering what nice little touches you have found in the game. Here are some I've found:

The pedestrians occasionally shout lines from Village People songs (listen carefully)
The door on the car doesn't shut if you drive off before you close it.
The Banshee in the show-room next to 8-Ball's place.
The massive slow-down jump moments.
When it gets dark, you can see your car turn its lights on.
People going into sex shops.
The radio stations are, I think, what make the game. Favourite by far is Chatterbox, I've parked and listened to it for several minutes on end. Genius.
The drive-by Uzi thing.

Any more I may have missed? A mate says you can bounce the Yardie cars, but I've not seen this yet. Enlighten me, chat-a-holics.

Oh my God. Am I the only person in the world not to own GTA3? You're all obsessed. I hear about it all day in the office. Non-stop. It's driving me insane.

Moments that make me realise why a PS2 is great and GTA3 is the reason to get one:

The..um..effeminate construction workers "Young man, there's a place you can go"

Stealing a car and the driver shouting "You ash-hole"
Oh really? *Turns car around* Really?

Hard-as-nails FBI

Slo-Mo action stunt-jumps from roof of multi-storey in Island 2.

Stealing juggernauts and seeing just how many FBI cars it takes to destroy

Listening to the radio stations

Flying for 43 seconds

The whole game is just fantastic. Most of the best bits have already been said, but I'm glad I got this game, it's definately the best title I own at the moment for my PS2.

Spooky! I only noticed that last night, too!

I heard you can sell a car and get money for it, is that cool?

Huh?

Can you dig that?

No?

Okay...

I've just got a load of money from Daddy, bless him, so now I get PS2, and stick it on wall... :D

And that's exactly why I'm hoping to pick a PS2 up from you this week. Please check customer services forum and reply to my PS2 bundle query/beg please

"Again?"

Yeah. I have on and off moods towards buying a PS2. I want one when I look at the games, and strangely don't want one when I look at my bank statement.

Do I get a discount for being a notable?

Please?
