Got this in the mail today:

Apparently I totally forgot about this contest that was held when the official website launched. Pretty nifty baseball tee (had no idea they were so long..) and it did remind me that the game is getting closer...I have the special edition pre-ordered right now and I'm kind of lacking money since buying SSBB...hopefully I'll have enough money to get this by the time it's out.

Went looking for some new stuff about this since I haven't in a long time, found this on IGN:

GTA IV Multiplayer Hands-On

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think one of the features I was happiest about was that cars don't explode just from flipping over now. I've died too many times because the car flipped and the guy took a little too long to crawl out after it had caught fire. Probably some of my stupidest deaths in that game. GRAND THEFT AUTO IV - News: Latest Screens, Information, Updates seems to be a pretty good read for info so I'll probably be stalking that site until the end of the month.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey does anyone with the 360 version have any trouble getting online at times? I tried to play Deathmatch last night, and every time the game would load the lobby and then go to the black "Starting Game..." screen and just stay there for 10+ minutes. I could hear people talking and it sounded like they were all playing each other already. I'd always have to exit to the Dashboard just to get out of the game.

But then when I go to free mode (which might as well be a Deathmatch since everyone just fucking kills me when I try to just walk down a damn street), it enters me into the game quickly but it was just me and like 3 other guys. So I went to try Deathmatch again and it still hung at the starting screen, so I just decided to leave it. After about 15 minutes, it FINALLY loaded the city and game and there was just a sad 5 minutes left for me to play in the 20 minute match (my first and only kill of the game also gave me the Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie achievement so I guess it's viral). But then every game I played immediately following had zero loading problems at all.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've tried only going to free mode before and that was April 30th or so. My 360 suffered RROD and I haven't been able to play again until now, but when I tried free mode then it let me on to play for about 15 minutes with no problems, save for the system freezing my game and finally dying. I was thinking I'd try some of the other games in Player Match too to see what happens there.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
