STOP THAT PLANE! Play in the sandbox with me.

May 2nd, 2008 · 26 Comments

Though I am probably the last person on Earth to realize this, last night I discovered the might of that perpetually taxiing jet on GTA4. It does not seem possible to stop it. But I want to put that theory to the test… tonight. And I’ll need YOUR help to do it.

THE PLAN: Gather city busses and firetrucks from all areas of the city, and have each of 12 guys bring them to the airport (no fuzz, we don’t need those cops destroying our fun). Each team member will lineup along the runway and wait for the jet to pass, allowing us roughly 3 minutes to set up the experiment.

As soon as the jet passes, we’ll line up all of these long vehicles side-by-side forming a roadblock on the center line of the runway. We’ll park them in tight, and then move back towards the approaching plane in the grass. As the plane approaches we’ll test another theory that the planes are totally indestructible, by pelting it with the RPG’s that everyone will spawn with.

Then we’ll watch to see what happens when an unstoppable 747 meets 12 firetrucks and busses. At the very least we ought to see something mildly interesting.

Later, I have a secret plan to put a car on top of the Empire State Building (equivalent). Sandbox FTW!

Who’s with me? (Gamertag: Raynmaykr)

Meeting 10pm on XBL

      I’ll bet $$ that the vehicles will become invisible, and the Jet will just pass right through them.

      I already did this and the plane disappeared through the vehicles and spawned on the other side, it was a waste of time.
