ok, so i’m sure anyone who’s played any GTA in the past decade or so knows of the upcoming release tommorow. i’ve always been big into the GTA series and have not seen madness like this for any game in awhile, or ever.

here are a few links that are worth checking out.

http://www.justin.tv/juicefog : this is a link to a streaming game of GTA IV that has been going on for god knows how long. they say its legit but there has been a pirated version out for about the past week.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/869/869541p1.html : IGN gives GTA IV a 10/10, i haven’t completely researched this but i think it is of only a handful of games ever to be given a 10/10, and this has not happened in a very long time. there is also some nice game review video’s on that link.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080427/lf_afp/lifestylevideogamesusitchildrencompanyrockstar : as usual we have our suit and tie wearing conservatives that have never held a game controller or psychology textbook in their life try and analyze a game and its potential dangers. it has already been banned in a few US cities. no suprise there.

i pre-ordered mine on amazon only to find out 2 days ago that my “pre-order” is now delayed and will not get to me until may 5th-9th (or perhaps even later). this will eliminate me from purchasing from amazon again any time soon, if ever.

futureshops across canada are opening at midnight for 1 hour to sell whatever copies they have in stock. i am tempted to go buy it there now instead of waiting another week or two for my pre-ordered copy.

there is some serious hype going on here and although i am willing to wait for my copy in the mail i would definetaly like to play it myself and see if it is indeed worth that 10/10.

groove on.

i think i’m going to have to sue al gore, i woke up this morning to heavy snow and freezing temperatures… it’s april 19th for christs sake! wtf is going on.

in other news, i just finished watching a interesting movie called “super high me”, basically it was the same concept as “super size me” but using marijuana.

the guy starts out going 30 days without smoking any pot or drinking any alcohol, goes to a doctor, a psychic, a shrink and also performs some SAT tests.

during the movie it goes through his stand-up comedy gig of everyday life but for the 30 days he is smoking weed from sunrise to sun-set. he figures he was only ever sober for a few hours during sleep.

at the end they had some interesting conclusions, the tests were showing that his sperm count was actually up, his SAT scores were higher and his ‘psychic abilities’ (as tested by trying to guess what shape was on a card being held by another person behild a screen) had greatly increased and overall the doctor gave him a clean bill of health. the only concern the doctor had that was if he continued to smoke as he had been doing his lung capacity would be effected (it went from 92% down to 89%) and he could suffer problems from weight gain since he packed on 8 pounds that month.

now this is rather suprising, even for me. if i was smoking that much weed 24/7 for a month i’d certainely think the outcome would be far worse. i suppose this goes to show that a little moderation goes a long way and even when that fails you should be still be able to get by. being that tommorow is 4/20 i thought it was a fitting movie to watch. now, pass me that blunt!
