Some GTA:San Andreas info
- GTA: San Andreas will consist of 3 cities; Los Santos (L.A. based), San Fierro (San Francisco based), and Las Venturas (Las Vegas based.)
- Each City will be the same size as Vice City.
- The map will be 4-6 times larger than Vice City's map.
- Parts of the city will be unlocked as you progress through the game.
- Hills will make a return, along with the addition of mountains.
- Large countrysides will be available to travel through.
- The environment will be more intricate and more interactive.
- There will be a desert.
- There will be many unique interiors, restaurants, and even a casino.
- Interiors will be more interactive, and not just detailed save points.
- Quadbikes can be used to race through the vast countrysides.
- Inbreds and degenerates will give you missions in the country.
- The legendary mountain is half a mile tall.
- The countryside will have rolling fields, farms, rivers, forests, deserts, hills and even tumbleweeds.
- The draw distance is now twice as much as Vice City in the urban environments and four times as much in the countryside.
- Los Santos is situated in the lower right part of the San Andreas map.
- Vinewood is San Andreas' version of Hollywood. This ends speculation as to what the sign in the top right of the background here said.
- Textures in the game will consist of both photographed and self-drawn.
- SA will have 16,000 unique textures and buildings.
- The legendary mountain is called Mt. Chiliad, and is the single largest object in the game. It has tunnels, trails, cliff-top roads, and more.
- Clouds will star to appear when you reach a great altitude on Mt. Chiliad.
- Dillimore and Angel Pine are two cities from the countryside. Dillimore contains a gas station, and Angel Pine contains a Liquor store and a Trailer Park.
- Roads will no longer feel empty, and an endless stream of vehicles will be on the road at all times.
- There'll be twelve small towns, including Dillimore and Angel Pine.
- Three of the franchise restaurants in the game are Cluckin' Bell (pic here), Well Stacked Pizza (pic here), and Burger Shot (pic here). There will also be vending carts around the city as well.
- The map is "America Shaped", and Los Santos is less than a quarter of it.
- Streets in Los Santos will have an orange glow due to the harsh sunlight in the city.
- Other San Andreas towns include: Flint County, Fern Ridge, Red County, Whetstone, and Shady Creeks.
- Each city will have an airport. With planes to steal, of course.
- Mt. Chiliad casts a very long shadow over the map.
- Angel Pine is situated at the base of Mt. Chiliad and has a bait shack, a liquor store, a one-screen movie theater and a trailer park.
- The transition from country to city is gradual. You will see the city's skyline appear in the distance and houses will become more frequent.
- Los Santos' weather has a bright, gritty feel to it, with the occasional bursts of rain, San Fierro is quite foggy, Las Venturas has harsh lights and clean air, while the countryside is a lot warmer and natural feeling.
- St. Brutus Motel will be used as a general meeting place and a place to "cut deals".
- Orange Grove is referred to by its residents as 'The Grove'
- In Vinewood there are such landmarks as the walk of fame , the Cathay Theater and the massive Vinewood sign
- The mansions and estates of Los Santos are situated at the tops of the Vinewood hills.
- The most affluent area of Los Santos is Rodeo. This is where the rich people prefer to shop and live.
- In Downtown Los Santos there are landmarks such as the Los Santos Convention Center (pic here) and the Doc G Records Building
- The beach of Los Santos are full of tourists and sunbathers. At the beach there is also the Santa Maria boardwalk and an amusement park among other things.
- There are massive freeways in Los Santos that go through and around the city. As well as to Los Santos and Las Venturas. They will make a long trip much quicker.
- Los Santos' streets have names. There are street signs that point out what is what for you. (Pic here)
- The underwater world of SA is as detailed as the surface world.
- Depending on how deep the water you're swimming in is, the underwater lighting effects will be different.
- SA's wave effects have been re-worked and now react to weather conditions more realistically. Such as rocking boats and slowly pushing them to shore with swells.
- Reece's barbershop will be accessible from the beginning of the game.
- There are multiple barbershops throughout San Andreas.
- The Binco discount store is situated near the Orange Grove Families' territory. It is a cheap clothing store that offers things such as khakis, plaid shirts and inexpensive sneakers. Locals will respect your more if you wear clothing of this kind.
- SubUrban is another clothing store in Los Santos. It offers more expensive brand name clothing and is located in the middle of Ballas territory.
- Another clothing store is ProLaps. It sells athletic style clothing. Things like hats, expensive sneakers, shorts, boxing headgear, motorbike helmets and hockey masks can be purchased here. (Pic here and here)
- One of the bridges in San Fierro is called the Gant Bridge. It is similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
- The Hushbury & Garcia Joint Festival is located in San Fierro. Expect to see a fair amount of hippies here.
- Chinatown is in San Fierro. This is where the Triads are located in the game and where you will work for a blind man named Wu Zi Mu.
- It can be raining in one place and sunny in another.
- The gym in San Fierro is called "Cobra Martial Arts" and CJ will train with Sensei's there to learn new fighting techniques.
- The Police Impound Lot is making a return from the original GTA. If CJ's vehicle gets jacked, or if you exit a building or a mission and notice your car is stolen, don't fret. You can find it at the impound lot -- but you have to try and break it out if you want it.
- Rural races take place all over the state for you to participate in.
- The moon in the San Andreas universe will cycle through a 30-day phase so that it changes every evening.
- Fires will sometimes break out in San Andreas. CJ has the ability to put them out. For example, using the fire extinguisher.
- Las Venturas has many casinos for you to gamble in, including The V-Rock Casino, The Visage, Pirates In Men's Pants, Caligula's Palace and The Pink Swan.
- Las Venturas includes a neon-lit cowboy sign, featuring Avery Carrington.
- In Las Venturas, a huge Candy Suxxx figure can be seen on one of the many casinos.
- There'll be drunken Elvis impersonators wandering about Las Venturas.
- San Fierro contains ruins from the famous 1989 earthquake, along with Lombard road
- Angel Pine is roughly the size of two Vice City-sized blocks
- GTA: San Andreas will consist of 3 cities; Los Santos (L.A. based), San Fierro (San Francisco based), and Las Venturas (Las Vegas based.)

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
