My parents are like, I have no reason to believe that video games affect your real life and I have never seen you hop in a car and kill everyone. So as long as I have a separate video game life they will let me get about anything, unless it is like a p0rno or something.  ::)

How many friends do you think will be coming over to my house in the next few days.  8)

To be honest, with the total incompetence of most moronic pea brains on modern roads (in pretty much every country I've visited) getting basic training from a computer game in how to drive fast and like a total ****k is pretty useful.

Dude,

Try telling that to my parents...They have so much trust in me but when it comes to one video game they lose it all. I think I'll talk to my mom about that though...thanks for the idea 8)

Anyone with the 360 version, we should get together to Race the Tug.

Amazing game, had it for a month now, finished it 100% :P
Remember to join the rockstar social club guys. If you finish the game 100% before May 19th, Rockstar will SEND you a 'Key to the City'. Go to the site to see more.

Stuart,

I hate to sound rude or anything, but recently I have seen some very disrespectful posts from you. And I know I'm not a mod or anything, but we're just kids okay? I'm not sure of your age, but if you want to go around treating kids badly for posting different and pointless things, then fine, just be somewhat respectful about it. Oh, and by the way...you dont have to look at the post :-\

Kind Regards,

Dan

No because I think they have advanced so much that PC hardware would not be able to run such graphics and physics.

Thankfully for me my mom works at Microsoft and can get a discount on everything.

Oh dear. Then press the 'report to moderator' function if you find anything I write offensive.

I don't want to get into a public arguement with anyone- especially children- but if you consider another of your recent posts about suffering Diarreah is appropriate and doesn't deserve my contemptous remarks, then this is a different matter.

In the meantime, may I respectfully remind you that it was you, not I, that first brought about the question of grammatical consisency in my post. It's on the previous page, if you care to look back.

Thanks awfully.

The PC version of GTA IV will (I believe) be out next year.

As for now though, I recommend the 360 version. The multiplayer on that version is much better, and virtually bug-free.

Yes my TV is bigger, about the height of 7 xbox's on top of each other.

It is ok, I wish there was a better "free play" thing. I can't figure it out.

Well I have my 360 hooked up to my 23inch Samsung, VGA running at 720p, so I win.

Whenever I play shipsim 'properly' (as in, spend atleast a few hours on it), I hook it up to that as well. I still think Big TV's are too dear at the moment, so I'm going to wait a couple of years before I get one (however agonising the wait is). ;)

I actually enquired as best I could as to why so many little (almost basic) things had been taken out of GTA4. The response I got was quite surprising, but made sense; they were rushed towards the end. It covered why the Hunter (Apache Helicopter), Sparrow (m*a*s*h-style helicopter) and Rhino (Tank) didn't make the final code. I hate to tease, but the Hunter was amazing in the Alpha back in October, as long as you didn't fire the missiles...:)
I too miss the extra things San Andreas added (not all of it, but definitely the truck trailers, and the airport tugs with their baggage trailers. I'm sure all them features will be back in future iterations, I just hope they don't forget the tug when they do. I'd like to tow a barge!

Talking of the tug (and other boats), I've got to say the horns are amazing. I wish shipsim had horns that good. I also noticed that on the twin-screw speedboats, each prop turns in the correct direction (unlike shipsims). Not being picky, there just 2 things I'd like to see fixed in a patch/2009.

Also, did anyone here get their key?! I don't qualify for one through the competition, but I have some other things anyway. I did finish the game 100% though by May 2nd...;)

I too miss the extra things San Andreas added (not all of it, but definitely the truck trailers, and the airport tugs with their baggage trailers. I'm sure all them features will be back in future iterations, I just hope they don't forget the tug when they do. I'd like to tow a barge!

Talking of the tug (and other boats), I've got to say the horns are amazing. I wish shipsim had horns that good. I also noticed that on the twin-screw speedboats, each prop turns in the correct direction (unlike shipsims). Not being picky, there just 2 things I'd like to see fixed in a patch/2009.

Also, did anyone here get their key?! I don't qualify for one through the competition, but I have some other things anyway. I did finish the game 100% though by May 2nd...;)

I have a question, I am on the part where I meet my boyfriend and then kill him. How far is that? Oh and my apartment just burned down also.

That's still on the first 2 islands I believe...

You've got a looong way to go. :)

I just unlocked the main island that looks like NYC.

According to my game guide I am about 1/2 of the way done?
