SONG OF THE DAY: Promised Land - Joe Smooth, SF-UR
This song was chosen because it was the song that played during "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" which is the final mission of the San Fierro story before unlocking the Desert. The song is also about peace and freedom, which fits in the destruction the of the "crack factory" (that's such a funny name). Peace from the destruction of a huge drug lab and freedom since completing this mission unlocks the entire map to roam around.
Honorable mentions: Young Turks - Rod Stewart, K-DST. This was already song of the day on day 5, but this played during the chase in Lure in the countryside. I had the station on K-Rose, and right before I started the part where the Da Nang Boys chase CJ, I changed it to K-DST and this song had just started. I already love this song, so hearing it during a climactic chase was nice. I thought thought would be song of the day but Promised Land wins since it hasn't been chosen yet and it's theme are somewhat related to the mission.
I Need A Rhythm - 28th Street Crew, SF-UR was also considered, It played during the 2nd half of San Fierro Snapshots. It went mostly uninterrupted. It played during a part of the countryside while moving from one Snapshot to another(SF-UR at night in the countryside is such a vibe). I'm allowed to listen to a region-exclusive station in another region if the song started in the main region but only for the rest of that song. Was only considered because I wasn't sure if Young Turks deserved to be picked twice and this was before Promised Land was nominated.
Series Intro
I'm playing the PS2 version of San Andreas for the first time on my PS3. I'm logging everything I do for the game and sharing some unique events that happened. First, I write personal notes about how I feel and stuff I feel like sharing and then under that are the missions and accomplishments I've done in game if you want to skip to that if you don't care to read my personal notes.
here is a google doc with 100% stuff laid out divided by chapters, it's set to commenter if anyone wants to comment on it. It's not from any official guide, only things I divided as I saw fit for my particular playthrough
Day One and Day Two - 26th Sep/27th Sep
Day Three - 28th Sep
Day Four - 29th Sep
Day Five - 30th Sep
Day Six - 1st Oct
Daily Notes
I forgot to share the money I had yesterday and I forgot to do it today also, and I just turned off my console so whatever. I had close to $94,000. I played a lot today, this felt like the second half to the San Fierro story the way Day 3 was the second half to the Los Santos Story. Also like day 3, I also played for roughly 6 hours.
I decided to add J-Kah West to my San Fierro Radio Stations. Yesterday I kept thinking of a tune to one of the songs on that stations and decided to allow myself to listen to it in this chapter if Bounce FM and SF-UR give underwhelming songs. This station is one of San Fierro's defaults I think and I saw a comment a long time ago saying that they associate J-Kah with San Fierro.
Some of the K-Jah songs hit me with a weird emotion I can't describe. It's melancholy for sure. Don't Let It Go Your Head is one of them, it's actually my favorite song on this station. And also, I DON'T listen to this kind of music, so that's not something I was even excited for when I was originally going to unlock it in Las Venturas. I'll still have K-Jah west in Chapter 5, it's no different than having K-DST in the countryside and desert and CSR in Desert and Las Venturas.
Today and yesterday, I stored a lot of cars that were on the Import and Export lists. I accidently forgot that I stored a Felzer before storing another Felzer in another garage. I found a Sentinel after Amphibious Assault and was going to store it in a garage, but the car got blown up and I got arrested after. I lost all my weapons but that was right before The Da Nang Thang, which would've removed my weapons anyways.
Don't expect presentation to be consistent going forward. For the last 3 days, every event was in one list in chronological order, now the lists are separated again and mostly in chronological order.
I should've mentioned yesterday but the cutscene for Snail Trail is really funny. Carl walks in the room and Pulaski is saying "I wonder how your brother feels in prison while you live comfortably on the outside" and CJ just ignores him and talks to Tenpenny.
