  Hilarious GTA IV Moment & College Preparation

  Last night me and a friend were playing our own version of Cops n' Crooks in Free mode which consisted of us escaping from one side of the city to the next while the police were on our asses. But something strange occurred in the process. As I was jacking a potential get a way vehicle from an old man, somehow in seemingly glitch form my character decided to keep the old man in his car. I in the life of me have never seen that before, a pedestrian actually driving the car for me. My ribs were hurting with laughter as the old man was swerving through traffic lanes, he must of been pissing his pants at that moment scared stupid...hey, wouldn't you? After driving me a few blocks he slammed the car into a medal pole and died on impact. Funniest moment I've experienced in GTA IV thus far...if only I'd captured it on video.

  Another thing, I'm that much closer to starting college, as of yesterday I registered for c1asses through orientation. The only bad news about it is it was a late registration so I was unable to choose the courses I really wanted. Good news though is the c1asses I picked (4) were still pretty good schedule wise. Anyways, to say I'm excited would be an understatement, I'm friggin/extremely pumped to be finally going to college. 5 years in the making, about damn time. School starts this Monday, wish me luck.

  The list of c1asses I'll be taking this semester...

  Political Science, Human Geography, Prep. Writing, and most likely to be my favorite... Theater/Intro to Cinema.

  Btw, why can't I have c1ass with an L, I thought the site change would of fix that. C'mon Gamespot.

  Damn You Microsoft!

  Well, It happened, my 360 did the old Red Ring of Death...again. But again I must say, thank god for warranties. I just brought it into my local Best Buy and replaced it. Unfortunately, all data is lost as they weren't able to transfer my files unless I coughed up $60...In their dreams. Luckily for me, with the recent price drop of the 360 I was given back an extra $100 in store credit. And knowing I'd probably need another warranty just in case, I used part of that credit to purchase one and the rest on Band of Brothers DVD set.

  Also snagged Geometry Wars 2 today, and so far it's great and the new modes sure add a lot to mix things up. Question...Why can't I access the multiplayer, Do I have to unlock that too?
