I was able to put this achievement to rest during this week and thank god I bought the strategy guide. I can't even dream about undertaking this task in a blind rage because there are about 20 out of the 200 pigeons that are totally hiden in messed up locations. All in all it still probably took me a good 5 hours to track every last one of the rats down.

Here are some quick tips if you anyone else is currently planning this crazy task:

1. Buy the strategy guide: Sure online guides are nice, but the GTA book has nice pictures and detailed maps of where each bird is located

2. Go into the task all at once. Meaning don't just shoot random birds with out marking down there spots, otherwise you will have a huge headache looking for the last damn hidden one.

3. Sniper rifle = very important; grenades = funniest way to kill 'em

4. Finally, after shooting the pigeon on the top of the Alderney hospital, don't try to jump down. You won't live, trust me.

but at least GTA comes on Tuesday. I will be going on Monday night to get the game and yes the store manager there talked me into the special edition. It is all good though because who doesn't want a GTAIV safe deposit box? My 360 is back and better than ever. In part because it is a new model. It is so quite which is sweet because my first one sounded like a helicopter.

Now playing

MLB 2K8 - It is a lot better post-patch, but their are still some bugs that hold this game back as well as the **** presentation. Oh 2K, this product should be so much better...

Halo 3 - Been playing a lot of team doubles. I think this is the best way to play Halo online as you have to really rely on your partner.

Mr. Driller - I like Mr. Driller and I wanted a version for my Xbox. I should have listened to Jeff and Ryan. Screw you Namco. Thanks for the brokn game.

Sonic 2 - Never played this ****c online till last night. It should've stayed that way. The lag is unbelievable. The timing in Sonic is so important, that the game just sucks.
