So, does it say a lot about me that I can't seem to progress in the game (yes I know I am 18 months late) because I can't stop from randomly killing people? Whether it is sniping from the grassy knoll, running down dozens in my car or holing up in a hospital and shooting cops for an hour, I can't seem to stop myself. At last count, my stat sheet says I have murdered 4500~ people and I don't think it counts people I run over with my car. Even worse, I looked up a cheat code so I wouldn't run out of bullets while killing the sheep...errr....innocents.
Am I dead to the world now or what? |

I constantly have to go back and restart from a check point because I got distracted by a random killing spree.  I must say, GTA has to be the most cathartic game I've ever played.

Here is how it usually goes:
I get a new mission. On my way to the mission, I steal a car by pulling the driver out of the car and stabbing him multiple times. If someone else is in the car I usually kill them too. I usually escape detection by the police and proceed en route to my destination. Before I get there, however, someone gets in front of my car...a jaywalker. Well, in my world, that is a crime punishable by death. So, rather than let them get away with this egregious offense, I execute them with a shot to the head. By that time, some CCWer has decided to play the hero and take shots at me, so he has to go down now. After he is gone, the bloodlust has taken hold and I open up on the fleeing people with the AK-47; we can't have witnesses you know. Unfortunately, before I can kill every witness in a three block radius, the cops show up and I am forced to find cover and launch rockets at them. Well, that certainly gets them angry and they call in SWAT. When all is said and done, I have hundreds of dead cops and I am out of bullets, so I suicide and begin anew. It is a vicious cycle. |

In GTA 3 for PC I changed alot of the settings for cars. I made a cop car weigh 10lbs with a center of gravity 5ft above the roof, and the Taxi's were 1 gear with 700hp, awd, a center of gravity 10ft below the ground, and indestructible unless they were flipped upside down. I was unstoppable.
When I turned the gravity down and used the 'jump' cheat, it was alot of fun...especially when I sent cop cars careening off in the distance....

Multiple times me and my buddy have got drunk and declared we were going to beat all the missions, or at least try to. It usually lasts about one or two missions before it justs end up seeing who can get the most stars and survive the longest with just the weapons cheat. Every once in awhile you will get a one in a million shot like.. clipping somebody with a car and sending them flying like 30' in the air then into a pole..send a dumpster flying into a group of people, etc that will just make me laugh. The most fun thing to do is drop grenades out of your window trying to cook them just right to blow up the car chasing you. |

I love popping a dude, and just doing 100+ through the freeways. SO much fun. I wouldnt do this in real life though, but if you meet me in a game, be prepared to get smoked on. |

Sent my PS2 to a buddy in A-stan so I have not played in a while.... but I did manage to beat the game eventually , there was a lot of getting sidetracked though....
Think it was vice city, I figured out there was a place you could hide (parking garage I think) and snipe people and you would never get stars for it..... |

My wife is a game junkie. She doesn't just play a game she absolutelly has to "kill it". No skipping from 1 game to another etc. She buys a game and does not stop till she has beaten it Rodney King style and then kicks it a few hundred times more 'cause she can't let a dead horse lie.
She watches me spend hours on GTA IV and it drives her crazy that I have yet to actually play the game. It's like eating a hot dog in front of a hungry fat kid, the most fun you can have with your pants still on....
