    Congrats Kaens!

  2. dmd 23 Says... 5/7/2008 8:46:39 AM PST

    lol dude you're freakin' hardcore. 2 hours would kill me. i always start falling asleep playing games and my car crashed into the wall and wakes me up or the guy just sits there walking into walls.

  3. kaens Says... 5/7/2008 7:55:51 AM PST

    Make me earn it!?!? Are you kidding me? I had to drop 5k because I have Avatar looming over my head! I've slept only 2 hours in the last 2 days of the challenge!

    Seriously though, great job Will. I'm always advocating people having to earn the wins here bc the prize is the viral badge so I guess it feels better when you had to work for it.

    Will could have won though, 1k in Avatar & Jumper will give you 300 for going through the tutorial. Thank goodness he feel asleep!

    As JC said, if you see me scoring points (well more than normal 1k-1200 a week) then I'm going to be trying. He was wrong about me having a plan though. I thought for sure 3k would win the week and after Spiderwick & one of the Cabella's I was just going to play normally. Then Will pushed me and I had already invested those 2 easy games so I couldn't just let them go and so I was stuck going for it.

    It was fun though, thanks!

  4. Vengeance73 Says... 5/7/2008 7:08:52 AM PST

    Big Will ... welcome to the 'I got second place while Kaens took first' club ... there's a LONG and distinguished roster to this club ...

    Perhaps we could pool our resources and form some kind of evil alliance or something? Like the Sinister Six? YEAH!

    Vulture ... Called It!

  5. xMac73 Says... 5/7/2008 6:33:42 AM PST

    Congrats on the win, Kaens!!!

  6. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/7/2008 5:42:43 AM PST

    My goal was to win without usin avatar...Next round could get interesting

  7. dmd 23 Says... 5/7/2008 5:19:54 AM PST

    nice work kaens. way to make him earn it Big Will.

  8. Jcnet Says... 5/7/2008 4:14:41 AM PST

    I told you guys he had a plan... even if one of you had done a sneak attack on him he clearly was prepared for just about any situation :p

  9. botafogo007 Says... 5/6/2008 10:38:46 PM PST

    I liked FoF personally.

    Looks like Kaens isn't going to take any chances with this one...

  10. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/6/2008 10:35:36 PM PST

    Irony at its best. Kaens is right..Eventually sleep wins. And that's what's happening. I'm saving my other 1k bombs for the next challenge

  11. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/6/2008 10:18:06 PM PST

    it s a big choice...FoF or Jumper...And strangely enough...FOF is actually kinda fun

  12. kaens Says... 5/6/2008 9:58:49 PM PST

    And yet you continue to play FoF! Hmm, I think I'll keep playing for the next 2 hours just in case ;)

  13. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/6/2008 9:54:51 PM PST

    Kaens u got this one.. even if i used avatar i'm like 500 pts short..NICE JOB!

  14. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/6/2008 7:42:30 PM PST

    CURSES!!! I get soo close....and yet...Kaens hits me again with another 1k

  15. Frostbite Says... 5/6/2008 11:16:49 AM PST

    good luck with that Fsh

  16. dmd 23 Says... 5/6/2008 11:07:31 AM PST

    YOU CAN DO IT!
    just use JC's method for GTA

  17. Fshguy Says... 5/6/2008 10:13:09 AM PST

    I'm shooting for 25th by tonight!!!

  18. dmd 23 Says... 5/6/2008 8:54:24 AM PST

    15 hours boys. it's the final countdown <<strange 80s music playing in the background>>

  19. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/5/2008 6:59:11 PM PST

    True, but after bein in 4 of these challenges with you guys, i know what to expect lol. 1 rule i've noticed. If you score big Expect someone lower to pull out the big guns. Its like i know i netted 2k total in the few days, but i know the last few hours someone could just hammer out avatar and a few easy ones. I just got lucky i didn't play many launch games.

  20. kaens Says... 5/5/2008 6:35:47 PM PST

    No no, fantastic four is cake man! You have to work 4 hours? Dude, I was at work for 11 today, and tomorrow I won't be able to play from 9-5! I will just be able to start gaming at 5 instead of 7 (or later).

  21. dmd 23 Says... 5/5/2008 6:21:26 PM PST

    for the record fantastic 4 is not an easy game i promise.

  22. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/5/2008 5:43:56 PM PST

    LOL i refuse to use avatar, Unless provoked O_o. This is like a game of Chess. Kaens might take it tho. I gotta work tomarrow evening from 5:30pm to 9:15 pm(temp Gamestop job till I take A+ certification test next week) SO If Kaens makes a Big move in the next day, i think he could have it. OF course i didn't use Fantastic 4, Jumper, and other games

  23. dmd 23 Says... 5/5/2008 5:15:22 PM PST

    hmm... big will making a charge. he too much have a sneaky strategy planned for this challenge.

  24. kaens Says... 5/5/2008 5:15:15 PM PST

    Man are you kidding me? NBA 2k6, TMNT and we all know you have Avatar sitting in the bank. sheesh cut me some slack!

  25. Jcnet Says... 5/5/2008 2:55:02 PM PST

    My staff writers advised me if I wanted to have any hope of winning the presidency I should tone down my comments some.


    Long story short I had them hitler'd (read hitlers biography and you'll know EXACTLY what i'm talking about *shudders*)

  26. Jcnet Says... 5/5/2008 12:48:16 PM PST

    Nah I don;'t think the guys gamerscore should be reset that would be cruel.. I'd be fine with just having his family executed in real life while he is at work by MS agents with a fruit basket left on top of their bodies that says "don't cheat"

  27. dmd 23 Says... 5/5/2008 12:00:48 PM PST

    yea i'm pretty sure i'm talking about the same guy. i followed your link. in mygamercard.net the only points that it said he didn't have for completion were the 95 pts he didn't hack in GTA.

    his gamerscore should just be reset to 0. *&@#*$ <-- word that i can't say here.

    **side note: did you know when you write comments on your page you can't say s1ut? is that a bad word or what happened?

    if my xbox blog were a movie wouldn't that word just push it into the PG-13 rating? not MA?

  28. Jcnet Says... 5/5/2008 11:42:13 AM PST

    Are you referring to the guy in question in the link i posted that had noting to do with this challenge? The person formerly known as "legendofgs"

    Well a couple weeks ago he had 52k gamerscore and he was hardly on xbox live except to log on long enough to increase his score by thousands of points on different days (with online dated achievements) He was the first person in the world to get over 900 points in GTA IV but EVERY SINGLE achievement except for his first four were unlocked in the same exact minute (and he is not an MS or rockstar employee) the guy is without a doubt a cheater but I am a bit thrown off by his cheating methods. There was no way he could have gamesaved GTA IV has I said he was the first person with over 900 in the game. So that only leaves the option of hacking it but what I dont get is why he would have his achievements 'hacked' in that game but not go for the full 1000. Perhaps he was hoping to appear slightly legit by not having them all hacked for him? i dunno but i've never seen a cheater not go 'all in' on a hacked game before so its a bit abnormal by cheater standards.

  29. dmd 23 Says... 5/5/2008 10:55:16 AM PST

    JC so you're saying that he cheated by like uploading his achievements or? it is bizarre that he has almost 100% game completion.

  30. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/5/2008 10:08:15 AM PST

    I saw....but i never give up! but he's at a huge advantage, i have to work tues.evening for 4 hrs.. :-(

  31. Jcnet Says... 5/5/2008 9:21:18 AM PST

    I hate to post my own agenda in the trash talk but I don't like these major cheaters thinking they can hide just by changing their gamertag:

    http://www.360voice.com/blog-view.asp?id=51636453

  32. dmd 23 Says... 5/5/2008 8:37:01 AM PST

    big will.. did you notice that kaens works from home on tuesdays... he says you'll never catch him... then there was an evil laugh -- mwahahahahahaha

  33. Jcnet Says... 5/5/2008 12:53:56 AM PST

    "You overestimate me ;)"

    That's exactly what i'd say if I had every intention in the world of winning a challenge with a planned set of games :p

  34. kaens Says... 5/4/2008 11:17:33 PM PST

    You overestimate me ;)

  35. Jcnet Says... 5/4/2008 10:11:52 PM PST

    I honestly think the winner is already determined. Someone like Kaens would not put this much work into his score in a challenge if he didn't already have a plan that assured him of winning.

    It's the same with me. If you ever see me score 1,500+ points in a challenge odds are I am gonna win that challenge because I only score noticable amounts of points when I have a plan worked out that ensures me of winning no matter what games are used against me.

    So i'm gonna just go ahead and say congrats to kaens winning in advance :p

  36. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/4/2008 9:02:25 PM PST

    See i never intended on dropping a bomb due to it bein a low score. but when i saw it go down..i had to step up

  37. dmd 23 Says... 5/4/2008 3:11:03 PM PST

    tip: if you dont' want to drive around in GTA just spawn the helicopter. it's not really cheating

  38. wokisan Says... 5/4/2008 2:50:59 PM PST

    wow, huge group at the middle of the pack.

  39. dmd 23 Says... 5/4/2008 2:25:37 PM PST

    owning did you quit? i thought you were going to take this one?

    kaens - your job isn't video games?

  40. kaens Says... 5/4/2008 11:32:21 AM PST

    "Come to work" hehe, I like that!

    Seriously this week had a lot of things timing it to have me try this week. Let's be honest, with 125k I can't exactly just randomly crank big #s out every week I have to be a little more strategic about it. GTA4 causing others to score low helps out, but honestly the #1 factor was that this challenge ends on a Tuesday. I work from home on Tuesdays and thus I'm home a lot earlier and can get more gaming in that day.

    I still went to see Iron Man Friday, I still saw my gf for 5 hours last night, I'm still taking my son to his football game today. I want to win of course, but I'm not disrupting normal life to do it.

  41. dmd 23 Says... 5/4/2008 9:57:45 AM PST

    lol i'm not surprised either. it's been 2 weeks since kaens came to work. just wait until halo wars comes out.. then there might be a true low scoring challenge.

  42. Jcnet Says... 5/4/2008 8:43:48 AM PST

    I'm not surprised. Whenever a major game comes out or it is expected that there will be a low scoring challenge there will always be one or two people thinking "SWEET I dont really wanna play this game so can use this as a week to take the win!"

    Kaens happens to be one of the people that doesn't consider GTA IV their cup of tea so he wisely capitalized on this weeks challenge :p


    Side note: I am typing this from a hospital - Never ask a fed ex guy if you can see his package if you are alone in the elevator with him.

  43. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/4/2008 8:29:03 AM PST

    Funny how a low scoring challenged ended up with people droppin 1k BOMBS

  44. Fshguy Says... 5/4/2008 5:46:38 AM PST

    Woo hoo... 35 points, FTW!!! Don't let Kaens get off too easy for this one!

    Fish

  45. xMac73 Says... 5/4/2008 5:25:33 AM PST

    I saw 'Iron Man' yesterday --- it was fantastic, btw!!! I'm a huge super hero freak, so maybe I'm a little biased, idk. I highly recommend it --- hell, even my wife and 15 YOA daughter loved it!

  46. Vengeance73 Says... 5/4/2008 4:33:36 AM PST

    The damned dirty Olsen triplet is right! He IS taking my 12th place ... AGAIN!!!

    And kiddo popped out 8 weeks early ... so she won't be home for a bit ... they gotta fatten her up and heal her up a little ... something they've been trying to do with your twin sisters for a while now dmd ...

  47. Jcnet Says... 5/3/2008 2:46:33 PM PST

    I have finals sometime around may 10th - 14th Which means i'll be busy the next week or so

  48. dmd 23 Says... 5/3/2008 8:18:26 AM PST

    lol vengeance i'm totally taking 12th place

  49. Big Will 1982 Says... 5/2/2008 3:23:56 PM PST

    I got my GTA4 on launch day....I just promised my GF that i won't start it without her. So now...its off to liberty city, since i'm over her house right now

  50. dmd 23 Says... 5/2/2008 1:53:58 PM PST

    they are of course whorin' around like always. that's what happens when you get raped at the age of 10 by your uncle in a tv show.

    your daughter still hasn't come home from the hospital? hasn't it been almost a week?

  51. Vengeance73 Says... 5/2/2008 1:27:24 PM PST

    hey Hey HEY! not all of us can be out there scoring a couple hundred points a day, yah secret Olsen Triplet!

    Let's keep in mind that I'm still making two or three trips a day to the hospital to check on my new daughter ... so I'm a little tired ... and a little cranky ... :P

    I'm actually waiting for her to come home from the hospital so I can take some time off ... and I'm positioning a number of games in preparation for THAT time ...

    So in the meantime ... I continue to lust after my coveted 12th position ... MWA HA HAH!!!

    So ... dmd ... how are your sisters, Mary Kate and Ashley doing? :P

  52. dmd 23 Says... 5/2/2008 12:25:17 PM PST

    I'm not a big GTA fan either, which is why I'm not playing it. I always liked the free roaming aspect and just messing around, but I could make it through a storyline. Of course I didn't like Assassin's Creed much either, so FWIW.

  54. Jcnet Says... 5/2/2008 11:12:23 AM PST

    In some ways I agree with Kaens except I like the game. I just dont like it nearly as much as the masses.

    I will say this though... gamerankings.com ****es me off Ocarina of time was the highest rated game on that site for years even though the game was crap compared to REAL zelda games (AKA the 2d ones) now GTA IV is number 1 on that site and while GTA IV curb stomps ocarina of time in fun factor GTA IV is not "greatest game of all time' material. Heck it's not even 08 goty imo.

    The Greatest games of all time are on systems like the Snes. I am considering filing a 73 octillion dollar lawsuit against gamerankings if they don't change their site to reflect this.

    PS. GTA IV is fun but I must say it is extremely annoying to get to the end of a mission, accidentally hit a person on a sharp turn, get the cops after me, and end up getting killed just because some stupid **** didn't look both ways before crossing the road.'

    Thanks Kaens for the inspiration behind this minor rant :p

    Not trying to spam the little thread here, but I'll get into it more. I actually LOVED Crackdown, but maybe that's bc I can quickly get to where I want to go quickly without interruption. Plus don't underestimate the addiction of orbs! Also I loved Assassin's Creed and Oblivion would be my most played game if I had a blog then so it's not the open world part that I have a problem with.

    Really, it is a simple as the world is not as fleshed out as Oblivion. So these gangster games turn into me repeatedly driving back & forth (with nothing to distract me otw) and constantly being interrupted by cop chases. It's no different than I hate the random encounters in JRPGs. You are trying to get somewhere and just keep getting jumped by invisible encounters. Which is why Oblivion or Blue Dragon shine imo bc I can see and if wanted avoid the encounter.

    Frostbite, Kaens is sneak backwards.. stealth based games are my favorite. Thus 6 star police chases are opposite of what I like ;)

    Jaferris, I know you can take a cab, but honestly I'm so stupid I can't figure it out. I can't find a way to call one on my phone and if I try and hail a cab I just end up jacking it. Yes, I'm that lame and embarrassed to admit it.

    Hold on I gotta write some of these tips down ... They're GOLD I tells yeah ... GOLD!!!

    'kill ... the ... cabbie ... get ... u ... money ... bar ... bat ... back ... BACK ...'

    AWESOME

  57. jaferris Says... 5/2/2008 10:00:37 AM PST

    hey Kaens if u dont like driving around just catach a cab to take you where u wna go then kill the cabbie to get u money back lol

  58. Frostbite Says... 5/2/2008 9:50:37 AM PST

    -sorry Kaens (mispelled)

  59. Frostbite Says... 5/2/2008 9:49:27 AM PST

    Thats not that uncommon of a statetment there Kaenes. Alot of people don't like GTA, in fact they HATE GTA. You probally didn't enjoy Crackdown either. "Sandbox" games are NOT for everybody. I can agree with you about Katamari being a fantastic game though! And WOW congrats on completing Katamari 100%

  60. kaens Says... 5/2/2008 9:11:21 AM PST

    Okay, I'm going to make a bold statement here, but GTA 4 is ass. Every GTA game ever has been ass, I bought into the hype, got it at midnight, played it for at least 8-10 hours and I don't like it.

    But that's me, it's the genre. I had the exact same problem with Saint's Row & Godfather. These games are cool in the beginning, I like the story, I like the base gameplay, but I f'n hate driving all over town to get to missions. I hate constantly having to jack a car to go anywhere and then having to ditch the f'n cops bc they saw me jack the car. Now I'm even farther from my destination.

    It's NOT fun people. Jacking cars and running from the cops in cars that handle like crap is NOT fun. It's a shame because I like everything else in the game.

    Seriously, Katamari was more interesting than GTA4.

  63. dmd 23 Says... 5/2/2008 7:39:08 AM PST

    mmm rather controlling. are you in some sort of religious cult or something?

  64. TheColdWolf Says... 5/2/2008 7:33:23 AM PST

    I didn't even see taht i mispelled Virginia, and i am in Maryland and at HHS high school. ANd m parents just won't let me get it.

  65. dmd 23 Says... 5/2/2008 7:07:21 AM PST

    dude... where did you go to skool? Vergina? is that a mythical woman's place or a city b/c i know it's not Virginia? !?
    - also i thought if you are 17 you can buy M rated games? did they change it to 18?

  66. TheColdWolf Says... 5/2/2008 7:00:58 AM PST

    Also i will be in Vergina for Friday Saturday and Sunday morning so if i am playing an easy game(Burnout Paridise, Army of Two and any others) thats why.

  67. TheColdWolf Says... 5/2/2008 6:59:58 AM PST

    Hey, just remember fsh if i am playing that(Which i may not) its because i can't get GTA4:(

  68. Fshguy Says... 5/2/2008 6:45:21 AM PST

    Yeah, anybody caught playing Spiderwick Chronicles while the best game in the past 5 months just released has something going on...

  69. dmd 23 Says... 5/2/2008 5:24:27 AM PST

    I'm telling everyone big week from Kaens.

    as for video game violence, I agree JC. if you have a kid shouldn't be a big deal. I too have been playing violent video games since I was 7ish. I haven't killed a man... (yet) nor do I have any sort of criminal record. worst thing that I have ever done was stroll on to campus while there was a riot so that I could watch flaming dumpsters roll down the hill, people hit golf balls from rooftops at the police and parking meters get smashed open with large rocks.

    Just a glimpse if you don't believe me:

  70. TheColdWolf Says... 5/2/2008 3:27:09 AM PST

    at least i haven't played avatar in this challenge:) I have been playing games like Condemned and Gears of War Windwos.

  71. Frostbite Says... 5/1/2008 10:03:06 PM PST

    So much for Low....Low... points owningxylophone ruined that another avatar 100% player. ya:-(

  72. Jcnet Says... 5/1/2008 8:07:45 PM PST

    Video game violence does not cause crime why do so many people in the world not realize that, I know all of *us* do but there are so many people out there against games like GTA cause they feelit makes people do bad things or something.

    I have been playing violent games all my life including the genesis version of mortal kombat when i was a little kid and I don't even have a criminal record nor have I ever stolen from someone, killed someone, assaulted someone or anything like that.

    Sure I have my violent little side rants on the internet but as long as I don't act on them and recognize them for what they are (words designed for amusement) then there is nothing wrong with it :P

    Heck come to think of it the worst thing I've ever done in my entire life is probably sending a message to a guy that hacked over 250k gamerscore telling him that it would be in his best interest to c ease and desist before he gets his family eradicated in real life.... But that message wasn't bad, if anything a message like that would make me a national hero ensured of getting into heaven!

  73. TheColdWolf Says... 5/1/2008 6:10:13 PM PST

    Yea, and hopefully they will let me then:( & :)

  74. Fshguy Says... 5/1/2008 5:50:39 PM PST

    Oh, 17, that's tough... It'll still be good next year...

  75. TheColdWolf Says... 5/1/2008 3:48:17 PM PST

    But you don't have to do that:) I might just rent it.

    if you send me the $$ i'll ship a copy to you.. lol how old are you?

  78. Jcnet Says... 5/1/2008 1:35:58 PM PST

    No no guys the erotic tetris fan fic is legit!

    It's going to be about a guy that is 35 years old but afraid to lose his virginity because all of his life he was brought up to believe that as soon as a guy inserts his I block into a person of the opposite sex it makes him perform a Tetris an his I block disappears forever.

  79. TheColdWolf Says... 5/1/2008 1:31:56 PM PST

    No, my parents just won't let me get it.

  80. dmd 23 Says... 5/1/2008 1:03:56 PM PST

    why can't you get GTA4 again? are you planning a statement day or something?

  81. TheColdWolf Says... 5/1/2008 12:55:11 PM PST

    Can all of you understand that if i win its because i can't get GTA4? Right?!

  82. Vengeance73 Says... 5/1/2008 11:15:52 AM PST

    Under the I ... erotic tetris stories ... under the I ... erotic tetris stories ...

    Mmmm ... can I play the straight piece in the film adaptation?

  83. dmd 23 Says... 5/1/2008 11:11:58 AM PST

    JC they already have a game like that. you fit nude people together into positions, they do their thing and clear out for the next person. i don't remember the website it used to be on i'm sure you could google it.

  84. kaens Says... 5/1/2008 11:08:33 AM PST

    You guys know those wheels that they spin the balls in for bingo?

    I think that's how JC's brain works. His thoughts are just rolling around in there and he reaches in and pulls out random thoughts and words and makes sentences.

    Either that or he's a huge fan of Mad Libs.

  85. Jcnet Says... 5/1/2008 10:56:12 AM PST

    I don't have time to do my own dirty work. I'm also not going to be scoring many points this week.

    I decided to take some time off from gaming to work on my other project:

    An erotic fanfic based on tetris.

  86. dmd 23 Says... 5/1/2008 5:23:34 AM PST

    you should have just dialed up the cheat code to spawn an army helicopter.
    then flown to his house and destroyed his whole neighborhood.
    then planted a serbian flag on his lawn.
    then in order to get rid of your six star wanted level drive your super car on the train tracks until the police give up on you.

    as for True Hollywood... <<whispering>> that was supposed to be a secret I told you that in confidence Vengeance. Although maybe it could lead to me being xbox member of the month. O wait I've played more then 4 games on xbox so I doubt that will ever happen.

  87. Jcnet Says... 5/1/2008 5:14:27 AM PST

    Some guy argued with me on xbox live saying that the main character of GTA is Russian and i said he wasn't..


    The guy refused to give in so I hired someone to kill him in real life.

    Jokes on him i'm still alive!

  88. Vengeance73 Says... 5/1/2008 4:11:55 AM PST

    Did you know that the Olsens were actually triplets? Yeppers ... the missing child ... <glances over his shoulders, makes sure no one's looking> ...

    it's dmd ... SWEAR TO GOD!!

    True Hollywod Story will be running this story later this year ...

  89. Jcnet Says... 5/1/2008 1:51:21 AM PST

    Awesome Today i'm living life as if I am in a long term relationship with both of the 1 year old twins on the show that were born in the later seasons (not the olsen twins) I realize these twins would be in their late twins now but in my mind... and the mind of the relationship they are still 9 months old..... HOT!

    For those of you who may be new to a Fshguy challenge ... welcome ... and understand ... there are RULES ... namely ... I always declare that 12th place is mine ... and then I never get it ... understand? Good ...

  96. TheColdWolf Says... 4/30/2008 7:07:41 AM PST

    I THINK I MIGHT win this one becuse everyone here seems to be playing GTA 4 and i can't play it but i have other games with allot of locked acheivements.

  97. U2MOFO Says... 4/30/2008 6:22:01 AM PST

    GTA4 will own me this week.. but I can not pass up a Fshguy challenge.

  99. Jcnet Says... 4/30/2008 6:09:02 AM PST

    I posted my 'how to' on the two wanted level achievements 90 gamerpoints) in my blog just now.

    There are many methods to get these achievements but I feel my methods are the easiest.

  100. Fshguy Says... 4/30/2008 6:01:23 AM PST

    Yeah... bigger group... Glad to have all the new people here... I need to win two of these to get my next level in challenge points...

  101. Jcnet Says... 4/30/2008 5:40:30 AM PST

    There are so many ways to choose your actions in GTA IV due to that it is VERY easy to get the achievement for surviving on 6 stars very easily. I got the achievement on my 2nd attempt at surviving 6 stars. The way I did it I could have in theory survived FOREVER.

  102. dmd 23 Says... 4/30/2008 5:27:04 AM PST

    wow a few more people then usual this week. good luck everyone!

  103. xMac73 Says... 4/30/2008 3:33:39 AM PST

    Only one achievement so far in GTA IV --- the gratuitous one after the opening scene. :(

  104. TheColdWolf Says... 4/30/2008 3:20:27 AM PST

    I'm the only one who can't play GTA :( And i'm old enough.

    68k people already have it on their tags at MGC.

  107. Fshguy Says... 4/29/2008 9:07:11 PM PST

    So...what's the over/under on how many people played GTA IV? I'm going to say 18-19k.... There's not any new games to compete with it really....
