Some people search for Bigfoot outside of San Andreas.

Back from the World of Chocolate, into the world of San Andreas.

I finally have some video footage of the mysterious ghost photographer. Many of you have seen this by now, because the map I found in the newsgroups (reduced in size at right) is spot on. Now the footage is not great. I tried to maneuver Carl Johnson with one hand to frame the shot, while using the MPEG-capture mode of my digital camera with the other.

So, if you haven't found this yet firsthand, this will give you an idea of what to expect. Sometimes the photographer takes multiple shots, and always nods after getting the one they want, and then the walk to their watery grave. Sometimes they will throw a comment your way, sometimes they might leave some money underwater for you, but they never swim. And they never leave you a camera.

Ghost or glitch? I say glitch. But I am happy they left it in, it makes for interesting discussion.

Just 27% done with the game so far, still have some work ahead of me.

6/24/06 UPDATE: The link to the ghost photo movie is active again.

In the form of web-hosted Shockwave based games of course. Snow N' Blow or Lick N' Bowl. Your choice.

Here's the first pics I've seen, there's been enough talk about them, you knew they were there somewhere.

And I'd heard a few things about the photographer who walks into the water and drowns. According to this map, it looks like you can find her just west of Los Santos.

Another GTA:SA Rumor thread, and the Legendary Map from the Lil' Probe Inn.

There's quite a few interesting glitches out there. GTA-SanAndreas.com has a nice page devoted to these.

Not content with emulators for the Commodore 64 or Atari 800? Then, go retro-GTA style with The Degenatron. Relive all the excitement of your fictional GTA childhood with Defender of the Faith, Monkey Paradise (clearly the early inspiration for Pogo the Monkey), and Penetrator.

And this guy went to the trouble of building his own Degenatron cabinet.
