Hello. The topic for today is:
Grand Theft Auto IV is an incredibly popular game that has sold more than copies since it's launch last year. It's an open-world game that focuses on gangsterism. GTA IV tells the tale of how an immigrant got to the top of the food chain in the underworld of the fictional Liberty City.
Grand Theft Auto IV also happens to be the first game of the series that is sold here legally, albeit with an M18 rating. Yes, we all already know that Grand Theft Auto is violent, but it can get downright twisted at times.
For example, when you see a hooker on the streets, and you happen to be in a car, you can sound the horn, and she will get into your vehicle. Take her to a quiet alley or park, and she will give you one of three services. The amount of action depends on the price. If you really are that interested, I can give you hints. $20, hands. $50, mouth. You get the idea.
But this is fine, since the game doesn't really show much, and it is M18 to begin with. It's what you can do next that can be really twisted.
Ok, so the hooker has given you her services, and she has left the car. You suddenly feel that she has charged you too much. So you can do something like take out a baseball bat, and beat her to death, then you can take your money back and drive off as if nothing happened.
You just killed the woman who was servicing you moments ago, with a baseball bat no less, just for not more than a hundred dollars. Good job.
In GTA, being chased by the police is not unusual. When such a thing happens, you can always try to outrun them on foot, but doing so in a vehicle is so much more effective. However, since you cannot buy your own vehicles in the game, you have to resort to car jacking.
Most of the time, you will be jacking into parked cars, but there are times when the closest car to you happens to have a driver in it. So you have to get him out of the car first. You can either do this by simply pulling him out and throwing him aside, or you could do so at gunpoint.
Once you are in the car, you can get evil. The driver of the car was giving you a hard time while you were trying to take his vehicle from him? Then you can just run him over. With his own car.
While driving on the street, you can also shoot at random civilians through the window of the car. If another driver does something that pisses you off, you can fill his car with lead.
Or if you prefer to be more professional, wait until the next traffic light. Stop beside his car and shoot through the window. When some one dies while in a car, it's possible for them to slump onto the steering wheel, causing the horns to blare continuously.
You can also open the door of you car, and drive into some one with the hope of knocking them down with it. If you're lucky, they might actually chase you after getting knocked down. Wait until they are close to your car, then drive off. They will most likely grab onto the open door, and you can drag them around for a short distance before they let go.
You can also get into a fire truck and spray pedestrians with highly pressurized water. Most of the time, they will just fall to the ground, but I have seen people fly off the ground from the impact of the water. The water can also slowly push vehicles aside, eventually causing them to flip.
You can also hijack a helicopter and use it to terrorise Liberty City. With a bit of practice, you will be able to tilt it at the right angle, so that only the blades touch the ground. In that position, you can pilot the vehicle around town, mowing down anything and everything in your path.
The evil doesn't just stop there. You can pick a fight with anyone, male or female, young or old. You can throw just about anyone off a building or into a river. You can start a shoot out anywhere, from a fast food outlet to the bowling alley. You can deliver drugs for money.
Grand Theft Auto IV is a mature rated game targeted at a mature audience. It was developed to be an open world game that would allow you to do almost everything you wanted. Still, just because you are allowed to do such a thing, it doesn't mean you have to do it.
But I know you're going to try to do it anyway, you evil person. It's alright, go ahead. What do you think I do to keep myself entertained in the game?
==================================================================================
I helped my sister complete her stupid project today. Damn, I'm glad it's finally over. I'm never doing another project for her, or for anyone else again for that matter. I used to be a nice person who would be more than happy to do stuff for people, but over the years, I've learned to say **** off.
I was a prisoner to my home today, since I had to do the bitchin project. What the hell is up with all these projects anyway. You go to school to study, not to do pointless crap like that. I'm alright with projects in poly, because it is a tertiary institution after all, but why projects in an educational system?
I actually managed to finish the project in time to be able to go out for dinner. Helped me calm down a bit, thanks for that. We should do that kinda stuff more often, it was fun!! :D
Now I'm thinking of so much stuff. Tons of questions in my head, but not one damn answer. You know, it's because of situations like this that I decided to play video games. So that I would stop thinking altogether.
You can tell me that I can't run away forever, but I can. I'm not a person who solves things immediately. I keep them bottled up inside me, and I hope that I can forget them. Yes, I'll eventually erupt. Good thing none of you outside my family has seen me really pissed before.
So yeah, please don't tell me to confront my problems. If a truck was coming at you, at top speed, would you just stand there? No, no matter what you say, if such a thing really happened, you would run. That's how I feel right now. The truck is going to pwn me if I don't get out of the way.
Alright, sorry about the slightly depressing stuff I mentioned above. Like I said, I am not a person who like to think about problems. They are my problems, no need to broadcast them to the whole damn world. I'll be happier tomorrow.
Ok, I'm done for today. Thanks for reading. [KOAS KW!!] Ending off, see you tomorrow.
