Good grief. It makes my Acorn Electron look like HAL9000

I was worried I was about to be Rick Rolled there but I took a chance anyway!

With any luck I'll have my hands on my very own copy of GTA 4! Can't wait!

Some stuff I have discovered that may be of slight interest:

Ricky Gervais can be seen on the telly, not sure which channel, and at the comedy club in Algonquin.

There's grenades under the monoglobe.

If you need to thieve a police car at the start of a mission your best bet is to call 911 on your phone and one will arrive in seconds.

On love-meet.com there are certain women that are advantageous to date, the nurse for example...

The game is pretty incredible but personally I don't think it's the massive step up that GTA 3 was, or even San Andreas. I loved the extensive countryside and terrain on that game with all the exciting little extras, and the three cities each had their own flavour whereas 4 does feel like one big city that's all quite similar. Even so there are some pretty amazing moments, like the first time you arrive in Times Square (or Star Junction or whatever it's called) at night...

I had this game on pre order since July last year, and was delighted when Amazon got it to me on the 30th. My cousin works for rockstar ( check him out in the credits at the back- Alwyn Roberts), and he was feeding me little titbits leading up to the release.... Well I've gotta say, the game is truly amazing. I've always loved the GTA titles, but this one just makes me droooooool........... :D

RROD -red ring of death - nothing to do with curries...

the initial builds of the 360s, some had a flaw with something in its guts (techie term that is) - and some would overheat and things would burn out...and the machine would no long work...

the newer ones dont...I'm on my second one...
