GTA IV

New trailer released today after four months of silence, which followed it's delay. The trailer is posted below. Also, EVE online launched a massive update which included boosting the graphics a good bit. Unfortunately, certain xp users who downloaded it had their boot.ini file deleted while installing (but only those who were updating the game, not those who installed the game and the update together, and it did not affect vista users), and if you're unfamiliar with that file let's just say you'll have a tough time booting your comp without it.

If Only Life Was A Video Game

In my opinion, Crackdown and the GTA series are very far fetched examples of what life would be like were it a video game. The baddies would still exist, and they would be on all the corners shooting innocents, and the goodies would travel around to all the corners fighting them. In fact, a much better example would be City of Heroes/Villains. Everyone would just pick a side and fight and die and fight and die some more. It would be ridiculous.
But maybe it would be more sensible than that. Maybe when I got a ticket today for speeding I could have erased the cops memories and driven off. If life were a game.
Would we still have funerals? Would people suddenly become 'inactive' because the soul owner (haha, I made a joke) of them suddenly stopped playing? Would we respawn at certain places? Would there even be airplanes, or could we all fly or teleport? Is rerolling how babies are made?
What if everyone looked the same, except for key figures. Imagine you and me the spitting image of eachother, while George Bush is decked out in armor and a big Ninebreaker sword.
Comical as it is, I don't think we'd be able to say life was any easier. Do you?
