427. Mr Magic ain't sweating it, no matter how hot it gets

428. Tommy never gets wet

429. Tommy never sweats

430. Tommy never gets dirty

431. Tommy's clothes never get dirty as well

432. Tommy never stinks or has another smell

433. The same can be said about every other inhabitant of Vice City

434. You can park cars in pillars

435. Cheats make you a magician: you control your health and equipment, weather, people in the city, vehicles characteristics and traffic color as well as disguise as some random ped or game character...

436. But unfortunately, there's no cheat that can make you swim or walk on water.

437. If you fall into the water while using "cars fly" cheat, you'll fall through the water into the underworld, and then you'll respawn on a nearby road in a while

438. If you use a Car Spawn cheat, the car will fall directly onto the closest road to the player, it won't spawn on grass, sand, water etc. This means that you have to take a great walk to your car if you spawned it while being on the Washington Beach shoreline, for example.

439. Tommy is the only man who can do a drive-by

440. Shooting Range and The Shootist are the only two missions where the player can aim in 1st person mode with a Colt .45

441. Someone's protection needs a little more protection.

442. Someone farts in elevator during "G-spotlight"

443. Tommy doesn't use a deodorant.

444. Air Guitars from $199!

445. There's a hidden picture in Downtown's Ammu-Nation.

446. Tommy grabs weapons by simply passing through them.

447. Mercedes went through half the cast and crew before Steve Scott even took a light reading.

448. Tommy doesn't like giant sharks.

453. You have a limitless amount of flyers in "Dildo Dodo" mission...

454. And at the same time it is the only mission where a vehicle has a limited amount of fuel.

455. Clients who use Well Stacked Pizza Co. services are trained to catch pizzas in air

456. Some cars like Taxi or Comet have white spots on their backshield and windshield. And they move when the car is being driven

457. Colombians are never seen in Vice City, yet they cut themselves a nice piece of the city's action

462. There is one police officer dancing on the stage of the Malibu club.

473. The fashion trends never change in Vice City.

 

474. Despite it being a means of entering and exiting Vice City, no one actually boards any flights at the airport terminals, even though a plane can be seen taking off and landing on the runway.

475. There is no cemetary in Vice City.

LOL! We got exactly 50 participants!!! Man!

We are so great! Does that mean we can get this thread stickied? And since we finished it, should it be locked or do we just leave it as it is right now?

Actually, if it's ok with Arsen(the game's creator), we should start a new topic and see if we can come up with 500 more things that have not been mentioned in this one...That would be a true challenge. tounge2.gif

Well, if you want to continue, there would be no reason to create a new thread for a new milestone. I don't know if we can come up with any new stuff anyway. Vice City is great, but it's not that big of a game, you know? lol.gif

Arsen Vitiuk

OK, that's how we act. We get this pinned, then locked, since there is little more to post on topic and it could easily be trashed later by spammers and alike. I already made a request.
