GTA4 Poll- So whose getting GTA4 tonight at midnight?

[Rman]

Vote, manbabies.

I'm not.  I'll probably rent it later on to see what all hype is about.

[demi]

Me... Robby told me I had to, he wants to play multi

[The Fake Shemp]

I will, but just because I have no choice!

[Rman]

Please take pics, Wilco.  I wanna see how the GTA crowd looks like.  Probably the complete opposite of Nfans.

[Don Flamenco]

nah, I'm getting it tomorrow after class. 

[Powerslave]

demi, make pics too

[duckman2000]

I expect to hear about shootings, stabbings, theft and minor riots in midnight lines across the nation. Anything less, and this Grand Theft Auto midnight launch should be considered botched.

[Darunia]

yes i am

[hyp]

GTA launch: when black and white gamers unite.  and mug each other.

[Mupepe]

if i'm still up at midnight and not tired, i might head out to the local gamestop or see if wal mart will be selling at midnight

[Bloodwake]

Already have it paid off.

I lost my wallet on Friday though, making this ten times harder to do. Since I no longer have a valid picture ID, I have to call my old GameStop boss in Corbin and have him call up Hamburg and tell them what's up.

[hyp]

hey Rman, add Mario Kart Wii as an alternative to GTA4.

[Eric P]

Not me.

My local gamestop has been robbed 3 times in the past month. No way in hell I'm going to sit my white ass in a dark strip mall at midnight for this game. No way in hell.

Thankfully though, I'm 100% payed off.

P.S. Wilco, why did the guy need to give me eight receipts? Couldn't he of just given me, I don't know, ONE FUCKING RECEIPT?

By the way, thanks for telling me it comes it a free month of Xbox Live.

whyzit gotta be a "dark" strip mall?

[Mr. Gundam]

I had no intention of buying it, but a group of my friends who can't justify buying either a 360 or PS3 gave me money to buy GTA IV, so they can all play it at my place. I'll probably go to Fred Meyer during lunch and pick it up.

[Eric P]

Oh come on, why must you do that?

Wanna take me to the midnight launch? I'll make you dinner

[close]

the court has asked me quite politely to stop picking up 15 year old boys and giving them rides.

[huckleberry]

I am there for sure.


Cannot wait for the multiplayer personally.  Some of the best mp sessions I have ever had came with a couple of my friends and I in the back of my store playing GTA LCC on PSP.  Cannot wait for this.

[Rman]

hey Rman, add Mario Kart Wii as an alternative to GTA4.

Added it.

[Bloodwake]

Listen to this bullshit.

The Corbin GameStop manager called up to Hamburg and the guy was like "uhh that's against the rules I'm going to have to call the DM to get it approved." So, I have to make a special trip up there early to talk to the guy and assure him that I'm not only of age but a former employee of GameStop. The DM's home store is up there too, so I might have to talk to her. Luckily, she's cool and not a douchebag, so I will probably have my game.

If not, I'm going to have to get it back home whenever I come back. What a pain in the ass.

[demi]

Owned, maybe you should take more care of your stuff

Go to some Mom and Pop store.

[CajoleJuice]

I'll just pick it up in the morning on the way to class.

[Beezy]

GTA is in the mail and will be here either tomorrow or wednesday. Mario Kart Wii got delivered so I'll be playing that tonight.

[AdmiralViscen]

It's fucking pouring, decision made. I'll pick it up tomorrow morning, I don't have class till 1:30.

[Rman]

Passed by the flagship Gamespot in NYC at 33 and Broadway.  It was at six o'clock and lines were forming.  Mostly thuggish guys, wiggers and nerds.  What a crowd.  Some cute chicks as well.  Go figure.

[Fragamemnon]

Waiting for the superior PC version. Tonight I dine with The Operational Art of War III !



Can't decide whether to do Fulda '55 or Operation Cobra.

[Eel O'Brian]

every gamestop in town is doing one, so i guess i will since i have never done anything like it before, just so i can see it with my own eyes

i would take my camera, but i don't know how the crowd of nerdthugs will react to the sudden flash of light

I was going to take phone pic.  But I decided not to.  I remember seeing some tourist taking pictures of an homeless dude while he was sleeping on a sidewalk in the Village.  He was awoken by the flash and chased them away.  lol @ tourist without street smarts.

[Eel O'Brian]

hahaha

plus, i want to get an hour or so of multiplayer in before xbl crashes tomorrow

[drew]

No, I probably won't even be getting it for at least a week.  Or whenever I get an HDTV.

[Grecco]

Probably will.

Was told there was less preorders for both SKUS vs Halo last year. So it means less line.

[Van Cruncheon]

No, I probably won't even be getting it for at least a week.  Or whenever I get an HDTV.

you probably don't need an hdtv for the ps3 version

[Bildi]

I might get it eventually when it's cheap.

The multiplayer could be interesting, and there'd be no shortage of players.  It might sway me to buy it sooner.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Fuck that.  The last time I stood in line for a game was when Halo 2 launched and I promised myself I'd never do that again.  Anyway, it's not like I could do it even if I wanted to.  I gotta fly to Arizona tomorrow so I'll miss out on all the nonsense....thank god.  It'll still be there when I get back.

[Beezy]

You mean when the next GTA comes out?

Ha! Thats where mine is reserved. It's close to Penn Station, so I figured I could snatch it on my way home.

[Don Flamenco]

Im having second thoughts...my EB is right around my corner and my 9:55 class just isn't that necessary tomorrow.

[Bildi]

Heh, I guess so.

Hey guys, reccomend me some music I can kill people to in GTA. I want to abuse in-game soundtracks. Badly.

That's cool GTA IV has custom soundtracks. The one thing I was hyped for in this game, the radio stations, don't really deliver for me, apart from the chill station which looks interesting. And apart from STEVIE NICKS - EDGE OF SEVENTEEN. I'm not happy that they put in 3 reggae stations - a classic reggae station, a reggaeton station, and a dancehall station... wtf this is New York not Jamaica! Also, the dance station is disappointing and a bit too focused on hipster/indie rocker's concept of "dance" music (dance rock has gotten a bit long in the tooth for me), and some songs don't really belong much on a dance station at all (Killing Joke?), although I appreciate a few tracks by deadmau5 getting put on there.

What?  Seriously?  Who the fuck likes reggae music for more than 2 minutes, sober?  No one, that's who.

*gun in mouth*

[Beezy]

Shut the fuck up haters. Reggaeton is not reggae at all so don't group them together. Even though I hate it, I know how huge it and also reggae is in NYC. The people responsible for the soundtrack in this game knew what they were doing.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Make one reggae station and put the same song on a continuous loop and no one would be able to tell the difference.

Next thing you know, people will be bitching about Fela Kuti.

I'm very glad about 2 of the reggae stations. reggaeton...not so much.  KJAH in GTA3 was fucking tight though, turned me on to Scientist.

[duckman2000]

Who the fuck plays GTA sober?

[Eric P]

and some songs don't really belong much on a dance station at all (Killing Joke?),

"All Music is Dance Music" - Afrika Bambaata

that's the philosophy that's defined my spinning for the past 3 years and I'm happy to see people rediscover and drop stuff like Killing Joke, the Wire and the like into dance sets.

and yes, deadmau5 is fuck awesome.

[Smooth Groove]

What's the point of getting a game at midnight on a Monday? 

[demi]

What's the point of getting a game at midnight on a Monday? 

So I can play it all night and all day Tuesday.. lulz

My GameStop was riddled with thugs and black people, and the occasional awkward fatty

[Smooth Groove]

But were there any awkward fat, black thug that just came from the park?

[hyp]

any white people get mugged?  any black on black crime?

i feel like a giant douche

i am way too old to be doing stuff like that

although, surprisingly i was not the oldest person there

[hyp]

just wear a beanie and a hooded sweater with the hood over your head.  you'll fit right in!

[Eel O'Brian]

a lot of the people in line evidently chose the split-second convenience of aftershave over the minutes-long hassle of bathing
