I know this is the internet and rumours are more often bullshit than true, but I'm pretty sure there was some sort of HARD FACT that the DLC was going to be to GTAIV what San Andreas and Vice City were to GTAIII, i.e. entire new cities or at least kinda big games.

So sometimes I read comments on articles at video game sites (it's truly amazing how stupid they are) and I thought is one was hilarious.  Some at 1Up posted today:

bought this game [Boom Blox] yesterday after trading in crazy taxi with guns (the terrifyingly overrated GTA4)

Man Crazy Taxi With Guns.

Yesssss, I finally killed Ray Boccino and finished with the Bell and Pegorino missions. I hated all of them, christ. Easily the worst part of the game.

Are there male prostitutes? Can your guy be gay?

Are there male prostitutes? Can your guy be gay?

I believe there are actual gay men you can date but I haven't figured out how the dating service works so I wouldn't know.  It seems EVERYONE either rejects me or doesn't reply back.

i haven't tried the dating service but i'd be pretty impressed if you could date gay characters, even if it was HAHA I LIOKE COCKS PLEASE conversation.

Well only a small number of people apparently will reply positively (the profiles that don't seem like jokes) under any circumstance.  As far as I can tell no guy will ever accept a date request.

God are we seriously having this conversation.

I also believe there's 1 (one) male prostitute in the game, added as a joke but... Yeah/

I've got three girlfriends. Michelle, Kiki and Carmen. All from the date site(minus Michelle obviously). After you kill the gay guy, and live in Bohan you can start dating. It's actually worth it too. With Kiki, I can call her up if the cops are after me for something stupid, and she'll use her power as attorney to get rid of them. Carmen is a nurse, and I can get bonus health from her.
I'm planning on dating them all at the same time, to see how insane it gets. Currently working for Playboy X, and Elizabetha

I hate it when people pay money for stuff. Like when I go to the shops, I hate when they totally sell out and provide me with a service in exchange for my money.

UGH! HOW DARE YOU PAY ME FOR AN ITEM WHICH ONLY YOU WANT?!

Edit: Also, what actually makes up the remaining ~40% of the game after the main storyline's complete? I need to do the races for Brucie, the cars for Stevie, the assassins missions, and the police missions. Besides that, it's the pigeon thing, but does that really constitute that big of a percentage?

Yeah, the pigeons does make up a big percentage.  You also need to get every friend's special ability (which means doing all of their side missions like lil jacob's packages; Roman is the only friend that doesn't require a side mission to be completed) and you need to meet up with every random person.

Grand Theft Auto IV breaks into Guinness World Records?

Link!

The latest in the bad boy of video games has achieved something other record-breaking franchises haven't pulled off, including Harry Potter books and blockbuster superhero movies like Spider-Man.

As we reported last week here at Sync, Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV generated about $500 million in revenue its first week.

Well, today, the folks behind the Guinness World Records made an announcement the game – which has also sold 3.6 million units its first day, generating $310 million in revenue – has now broken the record for "highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 hours."

This achievement far surpasses other video game, film and book releases. Specifically, this is how Grand Theft Auto IV's $310 million dollar day stacks up against its closest competition, according to Guinness World Records:

* Fastest-selling video game in 24 hours: Halo 3 at $170 million

* Fastest-selling theatrical movie in 24 hours: Spider-Man 3 at $60 million

* Fastest-selling book in 24 hours: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at $220 million

Do you think the game deserve this monetary milestone?

This is amazing, seriously, almost DOUBLED Halo 3s opening day!?(Stolen from RMN, thanks Ken!)

Hey, anyone wanna play online? I just got Xbox Live, gamertag is C NIG14, let me know! I just wanna mess around in the city, but yeah, lets play.

What does C NIG14 mean?

it's derived from my actual name, plus 14 is my favorite number.

Knowing is Half the Battle.

Cool man, I'll add you later!

Any of you PS3ers, you're probably already on my PSN friend list. Send me a txt anytime for some online.

I just got this on PS3, and really I've been having a really hard not sucking. I think I love it so far.

When I first got it, I had some major problems with the camera. The problem is the left and right and inverted, so every time I move or drive, my camera always spins out of control because I can't see anything.

During the mission when you first learned how to fight, it took me like 5 goddamn tries. First off I couldn't find the fucking guy. I thought it was all up on a high way, so I kept checking roads, train routes, etc. Eventually, when I did find the guy, I had like no health so I died. Then, I beat them but my car exploded during the chase. I got it the last time.

Than after that, when going on my first GTA4 date more shit happened. This one took like 6 tries, mostly due to that chick not following me well. I kept jumping over fences and whatnot, and she'd get trapped in these areas with me where there were no exits and she couldn't get out.

Yeah fuck

I've been playing this on my brother's PS3 (he got one without telling me, and I just found out today, but he's still not home, so it's all MINE).  It's really impressive how much is packed into the game, but holy god I hate the driving.

I've been holding grenades until they explode, effectively making myself a suicide bomber.  This is fun to do in the hospital.
