I have FINALLY completed GTA4. I can now have my life back, after dedicating most of it to the game over the past two weeks.
Even though I have completed every mission, I have only done 67.08% of the tasks. It is now time to shoot pigeons, steal secret cars and become a hitman…
My GTA4 stats:
- Missions passed: 94
- People killed: 637
- Cars stolen: 134
- Bikes stolen: 1
- Boats stolen: 8
- Helicopters stolen: 1
- People run down: 188
- Fires started: 124
- Criminals killed: 52
- Bullets fired: 14707
- Kills by headshot: 191
- Vehicles blown up: 91
- Cars exploded: 82
- Bikes exploded: 3
- Boats exploded: 2
- Helicopters exploded: 4
With the end of the football season comes relived wives and girlfriends, cancelled Sky Sports subscriptions, and men stuck for things to do, counting down the days to August.
The season isn’t quite over yet; there is still a little matter of the Champions League & UEFA Cup finals and, more importantly, football league play offs to be dealt with. Technically there is also Euro 2008, but as England decided they would rather take a summer holiday this June than play football, I won’t mention the competition.
Yes, the Play Offs. I remember those from two years back. Leeds got to the final. I went to watch them. Leeds fucked up, losing 3-0. A year later they went down. Leeds are in the play offs again. Unlike last time, I won’t be going to see then (purely down to financial restrictions), so will be watching on TV.
Next week, Leeds play Carlisle across two legs, battling for a place in the final. I will also be keeping a look out to see how Bristol City get on against Crystal Palace. Hopefully Leeds and Brizzle will both go up… I doubt it somehow.
I’ve just got back from the local newsagents. Yes, it’s a stupidly early time to be up on a Saturday, but my bedroom was too hot and there was no way I could sleep in it – besides which, GTA4 needs playing.
While waiting to buy milk, I was intrigued by a conversation between the shopkeeper and some customer, who was going through the drinks shelf, comparing the prices and strengths of the cheapest, strongest, most disgusting beverages you could buy. I think he eventually decided on Diamond White (a cider officially endorsed by The Tramp Society)
To drink that foul liquid in the evening is bad enough, but at 8.30 in the morning! He may have been well dressed and didn’t look homeless, but can now officially be branded “Super Bum”.
Maybe he was in the right, though. Maybe I was in the wrong for buying milk for my coffee. Diamond White and Nescafé – the future?
You find yourself walking to work, realise you’re running late, and contemplate nicking a car to get there faster.
I have spent most of my Bank Holiday Monday playing GTA4, and managed to get another 15% done.
Missions today included
- Working for a corrupt police officer
- Annoying some cocaine dealers
- Dating a homosexual
- Having a job interview and shooting the interviewer (needless to say, I didn’t get the job)
- Rescuing Niko’s cousin, Roman, from a madman
- Moving into a brand new safe house
- and finding out Michelle isn’t who she says she is…
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
