Grand Thumb Auto 5: Son of Thumb

[toblix]

Okay, people. This shit is going down on one of these dates:

1. Tuesday the 16th 1
   
2. Wednesday the 17th 3
   
3. Thursday the 18th 2
   

I'm up for all these dates. What about you guys?

My shits would go down particularly well on any of the days listed, methinks.

NB: I know it's not on the list, but in case someone else suggests it; I couldn't do Monday Tuesday as it'll be our 8th wedding anniversary.

..."our" being myself and Mrs V, not toblix. (Perverts.)

I need a calendar.

[toblix]

There's someone else?!

NB: I know it's not on the list, but in case someone else suggests it; I couldn't do Monday, 16th December as it'll be our 8th wedding anniversary.

Congrats

I can do Thursday the 18th, but will be away on the Tuesday and Wednesday.

[miffy495]

I'm working Tuesday and Thursday, but could do Wednesday. Have my last exam at 8 that morning, but the rest of the day is clear.

[Wrestlevania]

Sorry, I'm a knob-end; Tuesday is clearly the 16th, so I won't be able to play that night.

Wednesday is the only night I can make next week, as Thursday is our office Christmas party.

[Nachimir]

Ah, ok, I'll have to miss a week. Slightly tempted to call the hotel I'm staying in on wednesday and ask if they have ethernet ports in the rooms, but would guess the chances of carting my 360 to liverpool and it working well with a hotel network = approx 0

Sounds like you guys have been having a blast. I'm surprised that I don't remember hearing much about the multiplayer parts in all the reviews, mostly just the single player. Been unusually busy the past few months, but I'll try to join up sometime this month.

Wed

[ysbreker]

Here's hoping I'll get my copy before Wednesday!

If you haven't died from GTA IV exhaustion by then.

[n0wak]

My vote's for Wednesday, though any day is good for me.

[ysbreker]

If you haven't died from GTA IV exhaustion by then.

Oh, you mean my 78 hours of GTA IV this week? I have no idea how I got that many hours into this game :/

[ThunderPeel2001]

Did you leave it on overnight...?

The Thumb Chopper swoops in for the kill.

[toblix]

Well, stick a fork in me, that was awesome. We did all the story-ish game modes on the bottom, and had some good times killing motorcycle enthusiasts and officers of the law. At one point we ran over an old lady, which was sad, but totally an accident.

Anyway, we should be more and more people each week. WHY AREN'T EVERYONE PURCHASING THIS GAME? With the awesomeness being at the level it is now with only four, five, six players, imagine the orgasm it would be to fill up the lobby with guys. There was even a Pokémon podcast at the beginning!

LOL - shit, that'll teach us to talk about games, Miffy.

The Thumb Chopper swoops in for the kill.

Told you I could fly that bloody thing.

Yeah, that was awesome. More people = more better, but today we did have a chance to try out some of the 4-player co-op that we wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise, which turned out to actually be really good. I particularly enjoyed that run of Bomb Da Base that that screenshot was from. Toblix, next time I'll be the one winning by a single kill. Also, that rocket duel we had with each other from a block away was epic. And when the police helicopter fell on and blew up two cop cars at once. Hell, the whole thing was badass. Thumbs, get in on this.

[ysbreker]

I am I am! My copy is int he mail somewhere between England and Holland. It should arrive sometime in the coming few days.

[Wrestlevania]

That's good news, can't wait to have more Thumbs join in.

Oh, and sorry if I spammed you with invites last night, ys; I was excited to see you were playing GTA IV, but didn't notice it was the PC version until Miffy pointed it out...

[ThunderPeel2001]

XBox bods can't play with PC bods?

[toblix]

Regardless of what a bod is or means, no.

[ysbreker]

No worries. I didn't get the invites. Apparently live is smart enough not to send invites cross platform.

[toblix]

But not smart enough to prevent the user from sending them.

You're definitely a hood ornament next session.
