faktion_207 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Why AKA? I was just wondering, how can the new trailer have two names? Havent they decided yet? Or are there two trailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazeLaze Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Probably just to make it look nice??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QwertyAAA Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 No, the name is probably "Good Lord, What Are You Doing? AKA Everyone's A Rat". One, you see. By the way, about "Good lord..." Do you think the person is talking to a maniac about to kill someone... or to God, asking why his life is becoming so f*cked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faktion_207 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 It cannot be two names. There are quotation marks on both of the names, you see? (") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californian Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 When he/she says "Good Lord", he/she means like: OMFG, what have you done? You know, when your mad at someone. That's my guess. In other words: He/She says "OMFG" to himself, and "What have you done" to the person he/she is talking to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thor1to3for5 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Good lord why are you ratting us out? Just a guess. Didn't some old shows like Rocky and Bullwinkle used to do the "AKA" alternative title thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words: He/She says "OMFG" to himself, and "What have you done" to the person he/she is talking to. No, i know. But it could also mean: (to god) Oh god, why are you doing this to me and my family and my friends? Why is this rampaging maniac killing them? Just a wonderment, you understand, people.

Californian Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 @ QwertyAAA or that, too. I guess there are numerous ways to put it, we'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perspextive Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think it's perspective based. Person 1, shocked at what's about to happen: "Good lord, what are you doing?" Person 2, this is his perspective of 'everyone' including Person1: "Everyones a rat." (and then he kills them, or hurts them... who knows?)

SovietWarrior42 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Good lord why are you ratting us out? Just a guess. Didn't some old shows like Rocky and Bullwinkle used to do the "AKA" alternative title thing? You're right, from Wiki: At the end of most episodes, the narrator, William Conrad, would announce two humorous titles for the next episode that typically were puns of each other. For example, during an adventure taking place in a mountain range, the narrator would state, "Be with us next time for 'Avalanche Is Better Than None,' or 'Snow's Your Old Man.' Pretty funny. Rocky and Bullwinkle was one of my favorite shows back when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo92boi Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Niko SHoots Someone for a mission maybe the one with the cell phone call "Call and Collect" and sumone says good lord what are you doing when he pulls the gun out and causes mass chaos and the LCPD go after Niko and everyones keeps sayin it was him!

Also International Falls is in Koochiching County Minnesota... how's that for one of the coolest county names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafioso86 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Didn't some old shows like Rocky and Bullwinkle used to do the "AKA" alternative title thing? That's the smartest thing I've heard all day. I could easily see it as someone being like, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" and what they're talking about is something to do with snitching... or not... I guess we'll know tomorrow.

[-Vice-Andreas-] Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Maybe its like 2 trailers in 1? maybe "everyones a rat" is a reference to a username in multiplayer? like somebody naming themselves "everyonesarat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) A lso K nown A s. The reason I see it as such, it's taken from two character viewpoints as others speculate...

DjMiikkii Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 i think theyre both quotes from 2 characters in the trailer character 1 says" GOOD LORD WHAT ARE YOU DOING???" character 2 says "Everyones a Rat" thats what im thinking, character 2 im thinking is obviously going to rat someone out? oh sh*t thor1to3for5 above said the same thing i was going to, i had to leave the computer after i clicked reply lol dam u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantomas86 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Maybe 'Good Lord, what are you doing?' is quoted from the trailer, said by a character and 'Everyone's a rat' is really the alternate title as someone mentioned. It turns out today by the way(maybe tomorrow in case someone lives far away from Rockstar's timezone), i don't think they will show us multiplayer parts, because it's gameplay and as many guys said here, we won't see these kind of things till a few days before the release - I mean no HUD, no misc. texts which would refer to multiplayer, but without them it'll be the usual action as we've seen so far and GTA atmosphere Evening is soooo far...(in Hungary, updates come around 10pm gmt+1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kel101 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well since the other 3 trailers, the title is said exactly as its written, so my guess is the Goo lord bit will be where hes with the lawer and he pulls out a gun, and the second bit a mission giver will say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 No wonder this thread got buried... But I didn't forget. Here's a new question, when Niko is behind the wheel and hits some pylons, I saw the trailer stop for a few seconds to load, here it seemed with the concealed headlights and domed hood on the car, it looked a lot like my own 1989 Firebird Formula. Not a dead ringer and it could be one of the cars spotted before, but even the hood's dome was or seemed offset like the GM Pontiac Firebirds with big V8 powerplants. I'd love to drive my OWN car in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
