[Joshua1994]

flick my thumbs through out school day, when its 3.15 run out, jump on the bus and shout at the driver to quickly get me home! Throw my clothes on the floor, Grab the game and put it in

[RockstarFan]

6:30 I get up. Wash up. Eat. Revise a little cos I have an exam on that day. I leave for school at 8:30. Do my exam. Lessons. Go home at 3:30. Arrive home at 4pm. Charge through my front door and straight into kitchen where my father put the parcel. I grab that bad boy and tear it open. Stare at it for a while. Go upstairs. Turn off my phone. Pop the disc in my 360 and the GTA IV era begins!

[Fischkoeppe]

We´ll...im in holiday this time.

 

I get up (ealier than the 29.) and get a shower...i will eat some Bagels, get in my A8 and race up the "Autobahn" to my Dealer...thats it. Back at the home...put the damn Disk in and play.

[Jon93]

Wake up at 5:45 and go to school...

 

During school my cousin get's his and my copy, (two LE). And he drops it at my house.

 

After school I drive home and play it, taking off the 30th to play it.

[Scaryow]

*Wake up at 7 AM, blinking my eyes in unbelieve that it's the 29th already

*Wash, brush teeth and eating some cornflakes before i'll take the bus at 7.40 AM

*Arrive at school at 8 AM, thinking that at this very moment some lucky bastards are playing GTA IV...

*Wake up at 3.55 PM to go home. Eat something before going to basketball practise.

*Making my homework, try not to turn on my pc (knowing that i'll couldn't refuse to look at some gameplay footage)

*Try to get some sleep and think that I have the whole wednesday afternoon to go to the mall, buy GTA IV and play it until the next morning (---> no school at thursday and friday )

[Trazom]

Yeah could be like this

But i'll probably just call another shop and ask if they have it there (Ghent is a big city )

[fightman]

fair play, there are some sad f*ckers on here for replying to a thread like this (oops, just hung myself there maybe!)

 

nearly as bad as the 'what food will you be eating on the 29th?' topic

[-TRASE-]

Wake up, go to Youtube to see some vids (i will do it all the day)

then phone my Mom (wich is in spain) via YahooMessenger, and ask about gtaiv (is her get it now) to send me it,

[PwnedByDave]

My Day:

 

Alarm wakes me at the ungodly hour of 6:45am. I disregard the usual morning ritual of showering, shaving, breakfast, etc and race down to the game store a mile away.

 

The open at 7, and the sales rep (who has a halo in this story) is standing at the door, holding the game out for me, smiling. I take it, and run home, forgetting that my car is in the parking lot. It's ok.... I wont need it for the next few days anyways.

 

I pop the game in, realize that my PS3 will not be getting the RROD, and start playing.

 

After some game time, I realize Im hungry, so I go take a piss before making some food. It's on the way out of the bathroom that I realize that I now have a beard, and my hair is about 2 inches longer than it was the last time I checked. I check the calander and find that several weeks has passed.

 

I laugh and pick up the controller...... come on, this city isnt going to destroy itself, folks!

[The Mighty Bob]

A tale of woe By The Mighty Bob.

 

Wake up at around nine as I'm off work for the foreseeable future, Have a shower and partake in the usual morning fa**otry. Watch in disgust as my brothers play gta as they are the ones that payed for it and no doubt woke up earlier than me, if they even slept. Go to a friends house mess about for a while then go to the pub. Come home somewhat wasted and notice that said brothers have not moved an inch and one has a beard, chainsmoke until tiredness gets the better of either me or them. If they get tired first sit down and play, enjoying the inevitable red ring.

[.Up&Coming.]

15:50: go around girlfriends house for some hardcore sex

15:51: Go home

I've corrected your post.

No. I think it's more like this:

 

 

15:50: go around girlfriends house for some hardcore Spongebob-marathons

16:30: Go home

Up and comming your sig is funny as hell!!!!!!!!

Yeah. It's more sad than funny....

[Raito]

GTA4 release is at the worst possible time for me. I wake up on a tuesday. A dreaded day of sorrow ,and woes of never ending terror. I have State Testing for the next 2 weeks so this is how im guessing it will all work out.

7 am of the 29th of April. I wake up to the sound of my Aunts car as she comes home to make me breakfast or ignores my hunger and sends me off. Her friend picks me up to drop me off at school with her son with his mute and Claud like characteristics. By the time I reached school I finally remember it is GTA4!!! release date. I am daze and wonder why i forgot, and blame it on constant testing due to American educational system. I then realize I am in school for the next 8 hours bubbling in A, B, C, or D. This cycle goes on and on and on. Until I realize that I am free. Free to obtain GTA4 ownership status. But wait, I forgot I didn't preorder the game, which causes me to go into a panic attack. Then I realize something. Costco and Walmart are always stock on games because no one buys them at a convenient store. So as I hand the cashier my money I get a sense to enlightenment. An epiphany of a sort. I am now touching the next 6 months of my life, and it feels so good.

At home now, and I am too excited for my own good. I plug in the console, and insert the game disc. The intro comes on and the long initial load screen takes place. I cry because is so long, the pain the anguish, the w/e i just want to play dam* it. All of a sudden is done, and a picture of a boat appears. I hear Niko, and I hear Roman, and with that I know is going to be ok.

and yeh thats my day

[mark-2007]

I arise at two in the afternoon, feeling groggy and angry that my sleep has been cut short by the ringing of my telephone.

 

I pick it up and cough before saying, "Hello, who the f*ck is this? Do you know what time it is! How dare you call me at this hour!?"

"W-w-what?" comes the terrified voice of Maxine, my pet goldfish.

"Oh, you again. You're a f*cking liar! You're not even gold!" I scream angrily, berating Maxine, who responds with a sob.

"I'm sorry Mark, so sorry," she wails.

 

I hang up, angry at her. I'll get her lately. For nwo though, I hop in the shower. Three hours later I get out; refreshed and ready to face thhe cynical world we inhabit. I get changed quickly and race out of my front door; after all - today is the release day of GTA IV. I go along to the nearest games shop and push open the door. A quaint bell rings out to signal my arrival and from the back comes the sole employee of the shop.

 

"Hey, what can I do you for?" he asks politely.

I snarl at him and reply, "Give me GTA IV, now!"

"Okay, do you have proofof age?"

"Erm, yeah sure," I say nervously. "Right here..."

 

I reach inside my jacket and pullout a ceramic plantpot. I smash it over his head and he slumps to the floor; unconscious and bleeding from a gaping gash in his temple. I quickly hop the desk and grab a copy of GTA IV. I take some time to read the back of the cover and admire the artwork before I leave for my next stop - the supermarket.

 

I want some cider and crisps so I tour the aisles with a handbasket looking for these items. As I approach the checkout a gorgeous woman looks up from it. I meet her gaze for a second before placing my items on the conveyer belt.

 

"You're buying cider," she says with a smile and flutter of the eyelashes.

"Yeah," I say gruffly back, picking my ass and scratching the growing bulge in my pants.

"Well, do you have any proof that you're 18?" she questions.

 

Infuriated, I rifle through my jacket pockets again. My hand finds the plastic case of GTA IV; I tear the packaging off and rip the box open. My fingers grasp at the CD and I bring it outinto plain view of the woman. The CD glints momentarily in the superficial light of the supermarket. I flick it over in my hands and launch it at her neck.

 

Blood spurts everywhere as her head and body separate from the sheer force of GTA IV. I quickly escape from the supermarket, stopping only to launch a can of cider at the security guard.

 

I'm home by half seven in the evening; in one hand is a four pack of Cider, one is gone though, and in the other is... nothing. I rack my mind to remember where the GTA IV disc is. f*ck! I remember now! That bitch at the supermarket.

 

I head over to the supermarket to reclaim my game but stop short as I see a swarm of Police around the entrance. What are they here for? I wondered. There must have been a crime committed here.

 

I go round the back and scale the wall up onto the roof. There's a glass roof facing me so I crawl across it, making sure my body is spread as wide as possible to avoid the glass cracking. I get half way across before I spot it. The disc is there, shining in the light. It's covered in blood and surrounded by Police.

 

I quickly scuttle off of the glass roof and thought for a second. I make my way back down to ground level and spot a Police officer up ahead with his back to me. A few quick, silent footsteps and I am upon him. I beat his head against the cold, cement floor until he passes out. Then I strip him of his uniform.

 

I calmly walk past the officers gathered at the entrance. I approach the disc, which is still surrounded by Police.

 

"Hi, Chief Constable McManus here," I say confidently, flashing the badge. "I'll take it from here folks."

 

They scuttle away, seemingly happy with my story. I bend down, grab the disc and stuff it into my pocket. I then make a U-turn and calmly walk to the exit. As I was about to leave an Officer runs up, sweaty and shaking, and shouts.

 

"There's a dead Police officer over there!"

 

The place erupts in uproar and I quickly make a dash for escape. A group of them spot my unusual behaviour and chase me. Within seconds there are several Police squad cars tailing me. I take a sharp left into a narrow alley. Wayward branches whip at my face but I stumble forwards; a fall here would mean capture. I come out the other side of the alley, a huge open field stretches out ahead of me. A few cows lie lazily around, most asleep. As I sprint past them one of them awakes. Seeing an opportunity I jump onto it's back and rode it out of there.

 

We are now hundreds of metres away from the chasing officers. The cow, Winfrey she says her name is, makes a break across the road. I see it coming before it even happens. A blaze of red and blue flashing lights speed towards us. Winfrey screeches to a stop and remains frozen in fear, like a dear caught in the headlights, or maybe cow in the headlights. I dunno. Anyways, as I was saying.

 

A Police car approache. Seconds away from us it begins to break but too late. It slams into Winfrey's frail legs and we are sent flying. I land in a crumpled heap not far away; battered and bruised. Within seconds a crowd of officers surround me and hoist me up onto my feet. They cuff me and throw me into the back of a Police van. I gaze out the back, between the bars, and towards where my house is. I then avert my gaze downwards to the bloody copy of GTA IV in my hands. A game I now realise that I'll never be able to play.

 

I shoot upright, sweating profusely. I look around bleary-eyed for my alarm clock. 02:29 it says. f*ck! Another seven hours until the shops open and I can finally get my copy of GTA IV.

Hope you enjoyed.

[yakuza warlord]

I have the game paid for in full right? Its a 30 minute drive up to the store. It comes out on an easy school day, but that doesnt matter because I'll be missing that entire week.

 

I have an entire case of oven-bake pizza sitting in my fridge (approx. 12 pizzas), 6 12-packs of Vault under my bed, mouthwash (gotta stay clean ), 8 gallons of water, my bean bag chair is prepped and ready, I'll have my PS3 bought and ready (in b4 sh*tstorm, etc.) thanks to my tax returns, I have the entire week requested off (I have to work a minimum of 15 hours a week which I will accomplish thanks to 2 8 hour days on sunday and monday) and then... I zone.

[mark-2007]

In reality I won't be getting the game for many a month the way things are looking

[skarface1013]

I wake up, smiling and in a very good mood. Eat a quick lunch and head over to Gamestop, I search the aisles, trying to find the right game, I keep looking, Call of Duty 4, GTA 4, then there it is, Ironman: The Game. I pay for it and walk out the door, convinced I have made an awesome choice, I go home and play for hours on end. I go to sleep that night with a smile on my face, thinking I can't wait to play more tomorrow morning.

 

 

 

 

SYC NAAAA! would be impossible for me. LOL

[jlp<3bmr]

wake up skip school go get game then i will go home and on the way home i will be rummaging throughout the lockbox and what-not put soundtrack in my car stereo and blast it on the way home while screaming random bits and pieces of king ring (even though i don't have a clue what he is saying) then when i get home i go to my new game mode have my shrine cleared out and have a spot for everything

make sure my mini cooler is full bladder is empty then for the next few months i'm going into a gta coma

[Macmaster]

If there is a midnight opening: small gathering of comrades round my flat, case of beer and some reminiscing of previous GTA's, before strolling down to HMV at around 11pm (the only place on this island that'll even consider a midnight opening). Get there around 11.10, laugh and chat with people in the queue i know, but didn't know were obsessed by GTA (i.e. my gran), take my rightful place in the queue - possibly use some of my swing to skip forward a few places, walk in at 00.01 and purchase a special edition goodie bag, go home and play until around 5/6 (when it'll start getting light and seagulls will start sqealing) go to sleep, wake up around midday and continue. I booked this day off work a WHILE ago...

 

In the event of there being no midnight opening: Wake up around 6.30am, giddy with excitment and the fact i've only slept for a total of 3 hours, have a shower - singing Joyride by Da Shootaz (yeah, THAT GTA anthem!) in a ridiculous excited, child-like voice. Laugh as my flatmate screams with discontent from his bedroom, exit bathroom and apologise half-heartedly and explain that it's a special day. He'll grunt, possibly sni**er and tell me to f*ck off. I smile, knowing that in a few hours time he'll be awake and drooling, eagerly awaitin a turn on MY PS3 and MY ridiculously-proportioned HD-TV, reminding me of how courteous he was when i wanted a go on Mario Kart Wii.

 

Next, assuming the weather is as sunny, vibrant and glorious as my mood, I throw my camo shorts and the first t-shirt to hand, strap my sneaks on and skip like a lollipop-suckling schoolgirl all the way to HMV, 10mins away. I queue, or depending on the time, skip in and await my pre-ordered copy in the queue for the tills.

 

My names found on the back-shelf, everything moves in slow-motion as the poor 9 to 5'er sap behind the counter bags my special edition copy and takes my hard-earned cash (not card - i'm not risking a server overload at the card merchant). I smile at my bags contents, glance up at the assistant - who smiles and nods, then says: "Run Charlie! Run home! Run back as fast as you can, and don't let anything stop you!" I'll politely explain for the third time that my name ISN'T Charlie, but thank him for the advice and being involved in this tremendous moment in my life.

 

I run home, dodging work traffic and weaving between students, all the way back to my flat - possibly calm down enough to get a few croissants, boxes of Oreos etc from a nearby shop, get in -put some coffee on and/or grab an ice-cold beer, then giggle insanely as the opening credits load up in front of me - ignoring my flat-mate who is now threatening to sever my head from my shoulders (Not a morning person...) Then as the first playable screen fades into light, thank Buddha/Sir Dan Houser for allowing me to live to witness this.

[MasterVampire]

I wake up with the taste of ash in my mouth.

I've just spent the last night with a hooker and i look over to see the hotel room trashed.

 

I rub my eyes and sneek out of the room, pay at the counter and leave.

 

Its now 9:02am and im on my way to EB Games.

 

Arive at 9:28 and there is a queue of people already lined up.

 

Damn i think as i get to the back of the line, im going to have to wait for ages. Not so. I pull out my glock and fire randomly into the air. People scream. One man pulls out a gun, he is an under cover cop buying GTA4 for his son. Before he has a chance to aim I shoot him in the skull and....

 

ok im getting ahead of my self here
