GTA III played a pivotal role in my development into becoming the fine man I am today. I hung the map of Liberty City that came packaged with the game in my dorm room at Villanova, but then – quickly – realized that, yeah… that wasn’t going get me laid. So I took it down. Don’t get me wrong, I still played the game. But, to this day, it continues to serve as a symbolic reminder of the chasm that can exist between being a hardcore gamer and touching breasticals.
Somewhere deep down inside (and I think I know where…), I’ve always held a grudge against GTA for costing me about a month of regretful decisions, and I haven’t played a game in the series in years.
But that might all change with the release of GTA V on September 17. The first trailer planted the seed and this one just watered it. I have to get the game, even though September is going to be nerd overload. For real, I don’t know how I’m going to function with the new iPhone announcement, three Eagles games to start the season, the season premiere of Homeland, NHL 14, FIFA 14, and now, GTA V all happening in the span of 20 days. Fuck! Well… no. Probably not. It’s all coming back to me now.

Well looks great but I’m still more excited for Assassin’s Creed 4.
You haven’t played a game from the series in years? Which I’m guessing means you haven’t played a game in the series since the last one came out which was probably about 4 or 5 years ago now.
Already pre-ordered, and I absolutely cannot wait to pick it up the day it comes out. This game looks absolutely fan-fucking-tastic!
Cant wait! I bought Splinter Cell: Blacklist in the mean time to pass the time until GTA and its fucking killer! Highly recommended!
How’s the online spys vs mercs?
Don’t forget Boardwalk Empire Fruit Cake Boy
I only ever played GTAIV…I thought it was incredibly boring. I can’t believe it has a 98% rating on metacritic…one of the most overrated games ever. So I wasn’t really excited for this at all, but the more I see, the more interested I get. I’ll give it a whirl once the price goes down.
