It’s like life... if you discover something cool, you mine all the enjoyment from it and treasure the vistas and take a deep breath of moist August air with a hint of decay in it and remember the times you had with it.

But if it’s a shit planet that rains all the time and threatens hypothermia every 3 minutes and has

Hahhaaha, nailed it. Oh SNAP. We were just discussing GTA Online.

Dude, I wanted this game so bad I bought a PS4 months ago just for this occasion.

It’s not gonna ease your pain if I tell you it wasn’t really worth it. But... it wasn’t really worth it.

Good stuff. I kinda want to check out the Proteus Paradox ‘cause I like any books which deal with the effects of gaming on society. The last that seriously captured my interest was (Rock Paper Shotgun’s) Jim Rossignol’s Gaming Life that covered Eve, WoW, and.... competitive Quake I think? Anyway, the obvious unifying

I’m thankful the internet could come to grips with this one without hating on the messenger (i.e. those people who read it and quickly said ‘WTF is this pointless paean to trash culture?!’) I read that one next to the pool and at a nice Caribbean beach and so I can’t say it was a total waste of time since there was

World’s most hilarious mod if they ever implement that one.

“PULL OVER, YOU’RE DRIVING WHILE BLA”

Takes a certain kind of person. An escapist maybe. After a while you overlook the stupid nonstop mayhem that most of the squeakers are after and realize that, played socially, it’s pretty fun.

Let us know how “analyzing Disney ticket sales” for “Universal Studios” goes. But seriously, good luck.

And such a dang impressive city. I could go back and play GTA IV and marvel at how well they modeled a mini New York on the real thing, but Los Santos and surrounding area is amazeballs, it really is. I see something every week that impresses me still.

Speaking of mods and the sort of DLC I’d pay for, they could turn

Donno if I got the gist of this.... is this single-player only? If it doesn’t apply to online, well, much ado about not a gotdamn thing.

I’m not after hyperrealism, but we don’t have a whole lot of concepts left... physics: down, 3D worlds, down, trying to simulate the minutiae of life including buying insurance and

I’ve got it on XBone currently and while it’s no wonder of technology, it’s the second copy I’ve owned and I still really love that game and played it as recently as today. That’s longevity.

Still wish they’d gone ballz-out on this one, made multiple islands to, you know, fly or sail to. Casino might be nice. Lots

Well, as the one guy who says all kinds of smarter things than me said:

Hell is other people’s stuff.

Hah, the photorealism on that car was such that I thought I was replying to a Jalopnik article.

Dem PC mods are making my console-self jealous. A little bit anyway.

New police AI. Dayum. Meaning the cops won’t try to kill you for hitting their car.

News you can use.

I’m amazed by this game. The mystique. The draw. I’m going on vacation and I’ll spend part of my vacation wishing I had this game to play. Everyone knows they’ll be x% let down by the results and yet nobody cares and waves fistfulls of cash. And they’re literally throwing their money at their screens.

Quite a change

If I got dropped in right behind this guy and every world I reach is ‘Daymeeuhn IV,’ etc., i’ll have a laugh I suppose. Or rage. Probably rage.



Me and the boys engage in some old man office parkour occasionally. It’s really quite nauseating.

Telethuggies. Awesome title. Love it. My team at work is Chicken McThuggets and I’m totally wanting to rename us now.

Damn, wish I had the money to buy some originals from this man. Some great stuff in there. This is like illustrating Snow Crash and The Diamond Age.

The Teletubby drive-by bicyclist has a sweet rig too. That joint’s got a triple-clamp fork, some nice moto bars, slicks for dat xtra urban traction. King of the mofo’n

Think that “faux AAA” concept has anything to do with its flashy packaging and physical release and accompanying $60 price tag? That maximum price point means “it had better be good” and rightly so.

Was summer 2016 too ambitious? Well, fuckin’ A it was considering people preordered, bought Playstations etc. etc.

Long as it isn’t this generations “Ghosts” or “Battlecruiser 3000AD” or “Duke Nukem.” Delay and then good game? I’ll take it.
