GTA: Vice City Sells 8.5 Million Copies in 3 Months
Gus writes "Take Two Interactive Software reports that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has sold more than 8.5 million copies in the first three months since its late-October launch. The good news is Rockstar Games has 11 titles in the works. The bad news is the chances of the next GTA making it out this year are pretty slim." Also, there's still a couple people waiting on Duke Nukem Forever, and their patience is wearing thin.
Another 8.5 million were stolen at gunpoint from stores nationwide.

Road Rage incidents... Maybe.
High unemployment rate... Sure
Hooker beatings... I can see that
Poor driving skills... I guess
But discontent... No way man, that game fucking rocks!
You think that I'm crazy, you should see this guy!
I'd like to see a Grand Theft Auto game set in 1930's Chicago. That'd be so awesome -- the mob, the depression, prohibition; there's huge number of possiblities! I just hope they don't do the 1970's... I mean, Vice City already did all the "boy, people were weird back then... look at their clothes/hair/idioms!" jokes.
So your viewpoints are completely different, and she disapproves of the things that you think are fun, and you have to lie to her about your opinions just to be allowed in bed with her...
Do you really want to be marrying this chick?
Now as all the married and almost married men out here know, that if i was to say what i was thinking, it would have been a very lonely night for me and my PC! :-)
That's funny, I've been married for 10 years, and on the things that my wife and I don't agree on, she'll listen to my opinion and consider my viewpoint. I think there's something seriously wrong if you're letting someone control your life and tell you what you should think.
Interested in open source engine management for your Subaru?

playing with boobies every night is a hell of a lot better than looking at ones with 16 million colors

I think I just found my new

I get to play with boobies every night (no, not my own) and GTA:VC - sometimes at the same time - neener neener neener to infinity.

Plus 1.
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
You're being a complacent, pandering, pussywhipped fool (albeit "in love"), bordering on co-dependent. In 10 years you'll ache for the ability to say and act the way you really feel, as you two blend more and more into the same mediocre person.
And yes, this is speaking as someone who's currently in, and has had a few, long term (>1 year) relationships. Maintain your personality, your uniqueness, your vigor that makes us human. The boobies, the body parts, will sag -- make sure your personalities (you know, the things that you really fell in love with) don't!
The attention to detail is amazing - at the right time of day, the sun can be "in your eye", so it's hard to see where you're going, AND the light will glint off the sides of the cars in traffic!
I especially love all the secret stuff in the game. I don't just mean the 100 or so "hidden packages", but the real stuff you can find if you try. Have you managed to get a golf-cart out of the country club? You can do it - and drive it around on the regular streets. Have you found "the" motorcycle, the one that lets you try to complete a sequence of highspeed jumps in a 2 minute time period? How many Unique stunt bonuses have you gotten? Have you been up in the top of the lighthouse?
Then - when you get tired of the game (I assume that may actually happen to me some day), there s many pages of cheats out there, some that are really original, and a lot of fun. Don't go and download a cheat-sheet until you've played the game for a few weeks, though.
I haven't owned the game for very long, but I bought a PS2 just so I could play it. GTA Vice City rocks.
From a review of the cleaned-up version:
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - famous hero and womenizer Duke Nukem was found dead in his Los Angeles, CA penthouse this morning. There were no more official details, but the rumor has it that he was surrounded by radioactive green babes and was looking good even dead. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his exploits, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon. May his soul respawn in a nice, seedy place where hotels can be rented by the hour.
