Players Furious Over Buggy GTA IV PC Release

Jupix writes "It took Rockstar most of a year to port Grand Theft Auto IV to the PC, and while they claim this was because they wanted polish and quality with their PC release, it appears the result has been less than satisfactory. Players all over the internet are furious over numerous bugs in the release, ranging from nonfunctional internet registration and graphics glitches to completely inoperative installations. One of the game's largest retailers, Steam, has reportedly gone so far as to start handing out refunds to hordes of unsatisfied (and no doubt uncomfortably noisy) customers."

    Hey, I make programming look badass and cool!
    Do you want to know how?

    By being the coolest most attractive guy on the party, and openly stating what I do for a living, and how cool the things are that I do.

    Now for the first thing: I don't look that great. I'm overweighted by 30 kg. And I am a half-foreigner.
    But I noticed that it does not matter much. As long as you have the most fun, look interesting, and have a "strong reality", you have so much value, that they are getting dragged to you like flies to a lightbulb.

    The second thing is simple: Just be confident (the "strong reality" part), no matter what you do or like.
    I was ashamed people would not like me because in the summertime, I run around barefoot more than other people.
    You know what? I got friends and "you're cool" statements because of it, and the confidence that comes with it. :D
