chapapote Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You know, many mission names have a hidden reference. This happens in all GTAs, for example, in GTA 2 the mission "Radio Za Za" is a reference to the song "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen. Do you know any?

Gustavob Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 The "Tanks Giving" mission in residential district (Rednecks yellow phone) is an obvious reference to the Thanks Giving holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustavob Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 mission Benson Burner > Bunsen Burner complete list of missions here (Armored Cars! mission is only on PSX, in PC version of the game it becomes Armored Car Clash!) Also, the mission "Taxi Drivers Must Die" mission (first Loonies red mission) is a reference (or a "homage") to the best song in all the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lantyz Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 "Pizza Cake" refers to the name of the pizzeria, but may also be a pun on the term "piece of cake" , for "an easy task". "Science Friction!" obviously is a take on science fiction. "Blow Job!" refers to the sexual act. "Greatest Hits!" usually means a 'best of' song album, but also refers to the hitmen in this mission. "Gang Car Bang!" refers to "gang bang". "Penal Ties!" can mean both "contacts that can get you in prison" and the plural of "penalty". "Grandpa We Love You!" can be all sorts of things, among them several songs. No idea whether this was intentional. "Grand Theft Auto!" should be obvious. "R.S. L. Bows!" is the name of the meat processing plant, but sounds like "arse and elbows", which refers to the saying "to don't know your arse from you elbow", for "to be very stupid." "Tank's a Lot!" obviously is "thanks a lot" According to the Urban Dictionary, "super grass" (from the mission Super Grass Rescue) is slang for cannabis, but I don't see how that has anything to do with the mission. I'm sure there are more jokes in the mission titles. For one, I never understood the mission title "Dimentia to Go!" Is "Dimentia" a typo (the car is called Dementia) or does this refer to something?
