GTA : San Andreas Gone Gold?
Thanks to still_sick, who alerted us that GTA: San Andreas has probably gone Gold. From the Inside Gamer Article: "Arguably the most anticipated game for the Playstation 2, GTA: San Andreas is gold. In a report confirmed by Inside Gamer Online's own Steve Dotolli, GTA: San Andreas is finished and looking great. GTA: San Andreas is the latest in a series of Grand Theft Auto games that only became popular when GTA 3 came out for Playstation 2. "
Clearly, GTA, GTA2, GTA3 (pc) and all their expansion packs on the PC are a clear sign of a failing product. Thank goodness for Playstation saving the series!
Um, from the post it mentions that GTA was only popular since GTA3, I'd have to differ. I've been playing the series since it was first avaiable for the PC back around 98.
Here's the quote I'm taling about: "GTA: San Andreas is the latest in a series of Grand Theft Auto games that only became popular when GTA 3 came out for Playstation 2."
Also, here's the link to download GTA1, it's a classic game over at Rockstar now!

It was a pretty popular demo/shareware game. I'd be willing to bet the poster/submitter has never played it.
I spelled soccer wrong, let's just pretend I said "non-American Football" and leave it at that.

Originally, it had a release date of 10/19; I have the reservation ticket to prove it, but at last report, the date was 10/26. As far as I know, that hasn't changed, but a friend of a friend of a friend (yadda yadda) inside Rockstar has mentioned that it MIGHT get held back another two weeks.

And when will we get an updated RTS like Total Annihilation? Or TA2? That game kicked serious rear.
That'd be really, really bad for me. I'm switching jobs, and I set things up so that I left my current job the 26 to start working the 8th, giving myself plenty of time to finish GTA!
Note to self, do not set up your life around projected release dates
It's okay. We can all admit it. Here, I'll start:
I just peed my pants in joy.
Ok, go on. Your turn!
Alright, calm down. You, with the "GTA #1" foam finger, calm it down. Sit down. Shut up. Be quiet.
I'm directly going to be referencing (but not attacking) this post which shows the popular games from 1998.
Alright, let's see Grand Theft Auto is in the top 20! Of course it is. So are other "classics" like... um, Gag! And, uh, Battlezone! Right, Battlezone. That's made a substantial, uh, impact on gaming today.
Like it or not, Grand Theft Auto III was wildly, almost inconcievably popular, and not just amongst us Gamers, but in the general populace. It had incredible impact in the console world, still sold well last year (as an XBox version), and has made it on countless "Best of All Time" / "Most Influential Games" lists. It is similar to Pac-Man, Mario, Doom, etc. in that even non-Gamers are aware of it. Of course GTA was popular, as was GTA2. But that's like saying Unreal is as popular as Unreal Tournament.
So, please, don't overreact. The poster was correct. That doesn't mean GTA wasn't known or popular, but it in NO way compares to what GTAIII is.

In other recent "news", Halo 2 will "probably" sell a lot of copies and we have discovered that there will "most likely" be a presidential election in the US within a few weeks.

That, and $3.50 will get you a cup of coffee. Assuming you go to Starbucks.
Reservation tickets have release dates on them that are not really tied to any sort of reality that you and I would be familiar with.

Geez, word to the wise ;)

In anticipation of the violence present in this video game, I have already killed six of my neighbors. Man, I can't wait till this sucker is out!

But good Lord, man! Halo 2 comes out on the Ninth!
Not wanting to troll here, but after being horribly disappointed with the first one, I'm not playing the sequel.
So will it be leaked in 3 days?
"Arguably the most anticipated game for the Playstation 2" I don't know about you, but I'm getting ready to play Gran Turismo 4. If you've got GTA 3 and Vice City, why would you want the same game in a different city?
