If you were gonna pick it up...Why didn't you? Stop blaming/relying on your mother for not doing it all for you

That's right!!! My rant (not that I need one) is that I didn't *** reserve that game.

I think so too...

Honestly, I think they did a horrid job at advertising the game. The way they went about advertising it maybe worked great for veteran GTA players, but for people like me, who had never played any GTA games, the game looked rather boring up until a few days ago. I don't care about cutscenes, I want to watch gameplay. Now it looks like potentially one of my favorite games (though I ain't sayin nothin more about that until I play it). I just wish I was livin' in my own house, I'm going to have to kick my brother out of my room and wear headphones whenever I play it or my mom'll get pissed (I'm 18, but my bro's only 9, so that's why).

GTA wat?

Grand Theft Auto is one of those games I will probably never play. I've seen my friend play it and it just looks so violent. Not to mention that it looks like it can encourage things.

Immediately after playing GTA I get a strong urge to kill hookers and do coke.

My rants for the day:
First off, my ex-who-regrets-leaving-me stopped talking to me, which makes me a sad panda.
Secondly, the "Second HaloMods OS War" has begun, which means I need to find my Halo install disk and get Halo onto my desktop ASAP (somebody borked something in the DirectX->Wine->OpenGL->Mesa->Intel chain, so I can't exactly play on my laptop, playing in fixed-function is quite humorous, though). However...
Lastly, I can't find said CD. Which is quite annoying. I've found both of my Halo 2 (Xbox) disks, all of my Halo 3 stuff, my Halo 1 Xbox disk, and various other CDs I didn't even know I had, but my Halo disk has just run off.

Let's just all agree that XP is the best?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 3:26 pm

Consensus reached. OS war over.

Andrew_b · Post by **Andrew_b** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 3:27 pm

Did i start an OS war?

No. You give yourself too much credit.

I still have no idea how the hell all three of the sigs in your rotator are appearing - at the same time. It's got me quite confused. The Vista, Ubuntu, and Mac ones were all showing at the same time... Seriously, freaky stuff...

Andrew_b · Post by **Andrew_b** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 3:38 pm

I dont know what you mean so i guess thats my rant

like showing up all at the same time on the page on all my posts? or all 3 are in every post. confused

Something like this. Only with all of them (in separate posts). FF must have decided it needed to grab the image again, maybe my cache settings are screwed up...
Ok, new rant: Every time FF loads a Halomods page, it re-grabs all the images. I haven't actually noticed this on any other site, though...
Oh snap! browser.cache.disk.enable: False! That explains things. All's well here.

That's why they have ratings.

GTA is the baddass of games, you can do everything you can't (probably don't) want to do in real life. That's probably what attracts people.
