geebsHad a strange dream I was dating the chick who played Hannah on s2 of Veronica Mars (she's like in a KFC or Taco Bell commercial right now), like the actual actress, not the character, and hilariously, the "drama" in the dream took the form of her saying she was a vegetarian and I had to give up meat. On the one hand she's kinda cute. But giving up meat for her? That's a deal breaker.
Owel, I think I actually got more than six hours of sleep last night. I'm still feeling exhausted. Need to catch up on sleep somehow.
One of the amusing new features about GTA IV I forgot to mention is the GPS. Before, you could mark a waypoint on the map, and the game would give you a general direction. Now, it'll map out the exact route, though not necessarily the most efficient one since it actually cares about things like not going the wrong way down a one way street. But what's really amusing is in the higher end cars, you can actually hear the little GPS voice telling you which way to go. It even does the little "ping" sound. I mean, it's such a pointless little detail, but I want to applaud them for being that detailed.
The soundtrack has some cool songs, I think the classic rock station is the best of them. Though is "1979" a classic rock song? That's the song name, not when it was made! I don't think the Smashing Pumpkins are an old enough band to be considered "Classic Rock". The strip club has its own music. I forget the name of the song playing on the floor, but in the private rooms, the lap dances are to Mystikal's "Shake it Fast" and Goldfrapp's "Ooh La La". They definitely fit. Heh, the roomie and I wondered if the developers hit the clubs during the making of the game and claimed they were doing "research".
While the whole annoying having to exercise so you don't become a fatty from eating too much is gone. Now you have friends and contacts who call you on your cell or send you e-mail wanting to do crap. And its not even mission stuff! There's still the whole dating aspect, where you take one of the chicks somewhere, and can possibly get "hot coffee" at their place afterwards. But even the guys giving you the missions now, they're all, "Yo, let's play pool!" or "Let's hit the strip club". So you have to spend time keeping them happy. Its cool they're trying to make the world more immersive and real, but sometimes people just want to drive around and kill stuff. People should be hitting the bars/billiard halls/strip clubs with their friends in real life, not with fictional video game characters in a fake game world. Game worlds are for wreaking havoc!
