01:33, Chad installs GTAIV
01:54, Cryoburner> LAWL... Console installation. :P
01:57, Duskesko> Tis quite funny, console installation > http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/2/6/
02:56, Chad> Yeah, its not the best thing but whatever. :P
03:04, Raptorjedi> How's the game so far? I've seen a more up to date list of the songs in game, and I'm a little disappointed.
03:05, Chad> So far its just taxi missions basicaly with a few punching matches. Only played for a couple hours.
03:05, Chad> The police are a lot easier to get away from now.
03:06, Raptorjedi> There is a stupidly large amount of Rap/Hip-Hop/Funk music.
03:07, Chad> Seems a lot of people are having problems with it freezing... hehe...
03:08, Chad> Mine froze for a couple seconds and kept going.
03:11, Raptorjedi> Yeah, I hear it makes some peoples games completely unplayable.
03:12, Chad> I guess some can't even get on for 5 minutes without them having to unplug the system.
03:13, Raptorjedi> Epic fail
03:14, Chad> Biggest game this year and this happens... Makes me laugh.
03:17, Chad> For some reason the games audio is really low... But in the options its all the way up.
03:19, Raptorjedi> Thank god for patches, huh? :P
03:20, Chad> Yeah. I think game companies have releaxed way to much now that they can do patches.
03:21, Raptorjedi> Yeah, but no matter how much you test and retest, something still gets through on occasion.
03:22, Chad> But we rarely had these problems last gen. It sucks now.
03:27, Raptorjedi> Yeah, but last gen would have meant a complete recall of all the products to fix the problem, costing Rockstar millions.
03:31, Raptorjedi> Did you hear about the stabbing in the UK?
03:41, Chad> Stabbing? Nope.
03:41, Chad> Well it won't let me connect online in GTAIV, wonderful.
03:43, Cryoburner> Mayb ur intrnets r brokn.
03:44, Chad> I'm still signed in through PSN, just there servers arn't responding.
03:46, Cryoburner> I hear the PS3 version gets multiplayer splitscreen though. :)
03:46, Raptorjedi> Some guy in the UK was walking past a line of people waiting to get GTA IV, when someone ran out wearing a hoodie and stabbed him multiple times then ran off.
03:46, Cryoburner> Fun for the whole family! :D
03:47, Chad> Maybe he was cutting in? :P
03:47, Raptorjedi> Also http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2008/04/gta_jack.jpg
03:47, Chad> But thats sad, people are freaking stupid.
03:47, Tom> IM IN UR GTA BLOCKN UR TUBEZ
03:48, Tom> IM IN UR LINE STABBIN UR CUSTOMERZ
03:48, Tom> I can see some cheezburger potential here.
03:48, Raptorjedi> Jack sent that image to Kotaku and Game Politics, the GP e-mail had the word "Evidence"
03:49, Raptorjedi> Evidence of what? That he looks like he's been spending his nights sleeping on a park bench with a bottle of hooch for warmth? Does he not know what a razor is? :P
03:49, Chad> Oh well, its already out. ITs not like he can make people return the game.
03:49, Cryoburner> Maybe he was waiting out in line all night to get a copy. :P
03:49, Raptorjedi> And wtf is with that shirt?
03:50, Chad> Vice City outfit.
03:51, Cryoburner> And then he spent all morning playing GTA, and is still wearing his clothes from this weekend.
03:51, Cryoburner> Aww... that's not a bad shirt.
03:52, Chad can't play GTA in long runs without getting bored.
03:52, Cryoburner> Honestly, I think he is cosplaying Vice City though.
03:52, Cryoburner> There's even palm trees in the background.
03:53, Raptorjedi> I wonder if he has a live account. I, like many others, have the urge to want to play him in GTA IV :P
03:54, Cryoburner whispers: Is that hemp in his yard?
03:57, Chad> Seems that stabbing had nothing really to do with the GTA line, just the same area I guess. But the media is always right! :P
04:00, Raptorjedi> Yeah, nothing to do with it at all, but still funny in a "Haha at where it happened" kind of way :P
04:02, Cryoburner> Chad, did you get GTA to connect yet?
04:02, Chad> Nope... I stopped trying after like 15 times. :P
04:03, Raptorjedi> Speaking of multiplayer, they are giving out a free month of gold with the 360 version.
04:03, Cryoburner> It's possible the servers were just overwhelmed by a million players trying to onnect at once. :P
04:04, Cryoburner meant: connect
04:04, Chad> Yeah, a lot of people are getting online while others arn't.
04:04, Cryoburner> Try connecting at 4 in the morning. :)
04:05, Raptorjedi> I wonder how Live is doing with all those people. I know one of the achievements is to beat a Rockstar employee in a multiplayer game.
04:05, Chad> Thats okay, I can wait.
04:06, Cryoburner> http://kotaku.com/383885/xbox-live-preps-for-gta-iv-server-riot
04:07, Chad> I think the problem with the PS3 online is because your connecting to private servers owned by R*. But Live is centralized in one place which is owned by MS.
04:09, Chad> You might have more flexabilty on the PS# but you of course gain more problems if your not prepared.
10:08, Magnulus> Oh my God! The truth comes out about 9/11! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk1nA4SdMus&
10:34, Duskesko> >_>
15:47, Mcwgogs> Tonight it's Walpurgisnacht.
