Takeover of Los Santos proceeding as planned.

The second night of GTA:SA went as planned.

All in-city Los Santos properties purchased. All first-round Sweet/Ryder/Big Smoke missions completed. All but one OG Loc mission completed. Still 19+ million dollars on hand after purchases. Pimped-out low-riders stashed in a few garages. One minute, twenty-five seconds on the first Cesar Vialpando low-rider race (10x nitrous makes a big difference). Still only one failed mission attempt on record (and only two or three failed missions where I reloaded because I died and lost my machine pistol). Stamina and strength at max. Health over half of max.

The game is still enjoyable. There are a few controls I'm not terribly crazy about (drive-bys are more difficult, due to the location of the buttons involved), but overall I'm adjusting to the differences well.
