Most anticipated title. Ever.
I just picked up my copy of GTAIV. It’s still wrapped in the ridiculously hard to remove shrink wrap and sitting in front of my keyboard. I pre-ordered my copy from Lackluster (I know, I know…) and on Saturday, when I placed the order, they asked “Do you want the Special Edition or the regular one?” I asked “What’s the difference?” They said “Oh, you get a duffel bag or something… It’s twenty bucks more.” Having looked at my bank account about an hour earlier and knowing I didn’t even really have the $60 to spend on the actual game, I wimped out and went for the regular one. Today, I started thinking, “Game Dame, you are an idiot. You have been waiting a ridiculously long time for this game and you should jump at the chance to get GTAIV swag.” So I decided that when I went to pick it up, I’d act like I’d ordered the Special Edition and see if I could get away with it.
I went in and plopped my card on the counter. “I’m here to pick up my Special Edition pre-order of GTAIV.” The manager looked confused. But she normally looked confused, so I didn’t worry too much. “Hrm… uh… special edition for the 360? You sure?” “Absolutely.” I lied. She looked through some boxes. “Well, I only got one special edition order, and they just picked it up…” I acted shocked. “Seriously? No WAY! You… you sure??” I made her look through 5 or 6 more boxes while I kept my fingers crossed. “Yeah, here’s your copy right here.” BLAST!!! I was screwed. But at least I tried to go for gold, right? I settled for my plain Jane copy and got a framed picture I will proudly display in my cube tomorrow.
The drive back home seemed extra long. I hit every red light. Got stuck behind every Grandma in a Caddy that lives in Dallas… but I finally made it. And now, it’s time to open the package up…
DAMN YOU, SECURITY SEAL!!!! Where’s my xacto??
Yessss… I’m in. Aw mannnn…. I was REALLY hoping for a GTAIV sticker. Bet the Special Edition people get one. Dammit. Oh well, still retardulously excited about the whole thing. Alright… time to see what this multiplayer is all about. I’ll be online in about 20 if you’ve got GTAIV and want to find me.
I’ll write about my first impressions tomorrow.
TO THE COUCH!!!!

Can you believe it? Did you hear that I got the red ring on Friday? Right before a great game comes out, my system dies!
Well I hope you have fun!
p.s.-Did you ever get a banner made for your site? Starslay3r’s banner is lonely on my site and it needs a Game Dame banner.
