bluegargantuaHey,
So Grand Theft Auto 4. I got a copy. It didn't crash so hey that's good.
I haven't played too much of it yet, but one of the best things so far is that in my starting flophouse there's a tv set. And you can turn it on and watch faux TV, just like when you're in the car listening to the faux radio stations.
The TV shows are sharply satirical and a lot of fun, but I was struck with the irony of playing a video game where I was simulating the experience of watching TV. If there was only a console on which I could play GTA3, it'd pretty much be the pinnacle.
So far I've only killed 4-5 guys and had a date where we went bowling. I also bought a snazzy Russian Army fur hat.
