apparently, the only thing that sucks in your topic is Lazlow not being present

Jive Nation
Host: Andre Jones, father of the GTA legend Lazlow Jones

Andre Jones (born 1938) is the host of the Jive Nation, which is aired throughout the San Fierro Bay Area. Currently, it is the highest-rated talk-radio program in San Andreas.
-
Andre Jones is a very well-known talk show, but recently, his son has been screwing up his life. Lazlow, Andre’s only child, has been kicked out of every child day care in San Fierro. Lazlow is fifteen! Andre has no choice but to bring Lazlow to his show, and pray nothing goes wrong—but oh man—things go wrong.
-
(Pointless back story) In the 1970s, Andre’s fame grew beyond radio, spearing into publishing and television. He became a bestselling author with his books Children Are the Enemies (1966) and Premature Education: The Necessities of Military School (1968). From 1969 to 1973 Andre hosted a half-hour television talk show, but he now continues to do talk radio on KSFJ 101.5 “Jive Nation.”
-
Andre constantly treats Lazlow like crap on air, saying “I wish my son was more athletic”. Lazlow gets out of hand, messing with the master control boards, interrupting interviews, and eventually causing a public embarrasement towards his father. Lawlow ruins the show and his fathers career. Therefore, Andre takes him family away from the city to live the rest of his life in a middle western home, away from all the stress.

...and his father never talks to him again, hence the 'oddly silent dad'

good?

Can I make you a new firearms list? They will all be based on guns produced during 1977

I loved it! good work

you could link Lazlow rebellness (sp?) to his rock DJ carrer later in the 80's aswell, or maybe some teaser background for whatever Lazlow did to his mom in the 90's

[angus695]

I love the map, and the thread has potential. I would perhaps add more detail to the weapons section, but all in all a great thread.

[SanAndreasManiac]

sorry for teh bump, but anyone else sees the opportunity in here to reintroduce Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith in his Crystal Ship days?

[shankar]

this is a great story dude. like the missions and love the map

[RoxRox]

Seeing as I actually live in San Jose I support this idea. But I'm not sure I'd go for the 70's era. Not that I don't like the 70's, the 70's is great for SF, but SJ? SJ was a boring bedroom community in the 70's (and still kind of is). The SJ today would be more fun to mess around in (and more high tech...) ;p

Also, it would be a downgrade, as you'd lose features like the cellphone etcetc, I'm sure it's all been said before, but I never visit this forum anymore.

Either way, I'm all for this. f*ck yeah, Bay Area.

[GunR]

This is AWESOME, one of the best posts on GTA V ideas I've seen! I love your in-depth story, characters, and missions! You've got some great ideas! Just one thing: the Banshee, the Bullet, etc. Please add some more cars! (sorry I'm a fan of the Banshee) Other than that, this is EPIC!

[Craig]

The map is amazing, and reading about the locations just felt so right. I have very little to contribute that others haven't said, so I'll just say good luck with this!

[grope_4_that_date]

I added some stuff.

[vincentmillidge]

This is a very very cool idea man(gta;one flew over the cuckoos nest). Altho 'Richard' ? he should have a cooler name than that. san fran should be full of old hippies drug casualities from the late 60s. there should be a mission involving a burnt out english guitar player called 'Vic Sagger'. Also if you havent already read some Hunter S Thompson,. A GTA partly inspired by fear n loathing would be truly amazing.A character based on Hunter S Thompson would be excellant. And The Dude needs to make an appearance.


this could be amazing if you involve the mixture of older rock nroll, psychedelia (THE ACID TESTS)of the late 60s early seventies san fran scene as well as the Disco scene with all their drugs, hedonism and depravity. ken kesey and the merry prankster should have characters based on em. Vietnam vets, The Lizard King, Boogie Nights !!!



great work

the dude abides

[Sanjeem]

This is good, But you need a Gang list, just imagine how noutouriouse they were in the 70's, Especially the San Fierro Triads you need them, and the Yacuza, bassicly you need loads of East Asian Gangs, and also south asian gangs too (Malaysian, Burman, Indonesian)

Needs more freeways, which link up. I want to be able to drive around the map without coming across one traffic light.

Hate to tell you this, but around here (the Bay area), even some of the freeways have traffic lights where they turn into highways, and where they cross draw-bridges.
