2 skits in one episode. We just need espn to cover world tourny's and I'd say gaming has arrived.

god d*mn SNL sucks. How is it even on the air anymore?

I came really close to buying a 360 this weekend, but just couldn't justify it with summer so close...the only real reason to buy one for me is for GTA IV. So i think i'm going to wait until fall. Stupid maturity and sense getting in my way.

Those skits sucked so bad. What happened to that show? That kid who played the convict is SO bad.

SNL has always gone through phases of bad casting...and it survives, but I swear right now the cast is probably the worst in history, the show could be in serious jeopardy.

I can't play this game until my last uni assessment is finished...on june 13.

It definitely is not the cast at the moment. The writing is atrocious, they're incapable of closing even one sketch strong.

It's been worse. Just prior to Will Farrel there was actually talk of pulling it. New cast members always take getting used to. The links I posted in the favorite video thread to Fred Armisans political comic is one of the funniest bits (the 2nd half of each anyway) I've seen in a looong time.

Just finished it (well the main story line anyways). Few things I want to mention and I'll keep this spoiler free:

- The story itself only takes up 65%-70% of the total progress, so use that to determine how close you are to finishing.
- I have never before felt so emotionally attached to characters in a game before, and I credit that to the freedom rockstar gives you to choose who you get close to and what you do. You're not just being led down a path with your hand being held so you don't miss anything.
- Don't bother watching the credits. They scroll for over fifteen minutes and there's no reward or bonus at the end. The game keeps going after the credits so don't worry if you haven't finished the side quests.
- The game gets progressively better as it goes along, leading right up to the amazing final hour of the game. If you're one to not finish GTA games in the past (like me) make sure you finish this one.
- The driving gets easier as you get used to it. It's not quite as broken as it feels in the beginning.
- Although I'm not completely sure of this, I think their may be 2 endings. I had assumed that all paths would lead to the same conclusion, but a phone call I got after the credits made me think differently.

Also, something I came across, on the third island (Alderny) in the north east corner there's a boarded up mansion (you may have been here on a mission). You can find it by looking for the 3 roads that splinter off in different directions. Beside the mansion there is a garage. Look behind the garage and you'll find a car in the bushes. It's a souped up street racer.

Another interesting find, take the helicopter to the statue of liberty (happiness?) and hop out on the top tier of the statue, around it's feet. There's four doors. You can go in one. Go in to find something..... weird.

I wonder if i could plug in a PS3 or XBox 360 into a 24inch iMac hmmmm

Are there any video or vga inputs? There are also video capture boxes, but I can't guarantee great results.
