Set your Scene

[Shotta876]

On the Monday night I'll be watching the NBA Playoffs. There will be an 8PM game, and a 10:30PM game. Near halftime of the 10:30PM Westcoast game, (about 11:30PM) I'll head out to the Game Stop which is about 5 minutes down the street after leaving my complex. I'll walk in, go up to one of my friends who is the manager there, and have him hand me the game.

 

NO LINES FOR ME!!!!!!!

 

Come home, watch the 4th quarter, then play GTA all night.

[Lochie_old]

Wake up, do that school sh*t on the 28th. Bus it to my mates house, hang out for awhile playing CoD4. His ma will drop us off at like 7 pm, I'll get tons of food for the long night of playing, hang out for 3 hours. Line up at 10 pm. Get my game and gtfo and back home by 12.

[lagge92]

I have my copy preordered but I wont come home from a school trip untill 1 am between the 29th and the 30th and hopefully my gta will be waiting for me. But the good news is I have no more school for the rest of the week

[DrAg00nEn]

I'll go to work at 9. during my lunch break I call a good friend of mine (who also happens to be the manager of a local cinema) and check with him if there's any movies in the evening. if not then I'm taking my 360 to the cinema and play gta iv all night long.

 

can also say that I have played Rainbow six vegas 2 there and it was amazing. I can't even imagine what playing gta iv will be like.

[[email protected]]

Wake up about 9am, sluggishly walk to tescos, get the game. RUN home, grab the kettle and coffee along with mass amounts of food. RUN upstairs, put the game in the xbox, read/look at the map and stuff while it loads and then play all day and night long.

 

No college for me, YES!

[Ben Bones]

I'll sit around and wait for my over-seas copy to get here

[Amunication]

I'll be working that day then I'll swing by my local eb games and pick up my 360 special edition.

[Fubar4619]

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.

Great read, thanks.

[Apollo_33]

My story:

 

I wake up the 29th, my brother gets back home at 7PM from EB Games. I run downstairs open the door and I see GTA IV through the plastic bag. We run together to our Xbox 360, insert it!!!

 

Bam!!! I wake up and realize that all that GTA IV stuff was a dream. I realize also that GTA IV was never announced. I woke up on January 2007

[andsteele]

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.v]

[R3VOLUTiON16]

I will wake up in the morning, find it hasn't come, then explode in happiness and excitement. Just kidding, I would have to run out to BestBuy quick, (Where I pre-ordered it from) and pick it up. The reason I didn't have it shipped it because last time i preordered a game from them, it came 2 WEEKS LATE! So I now perfer pick-up.

 

Once I get back, prizing the ultra smooth case, I'll pop it in to my ps3, and play it the rest of year, and live happley ever after.

 

THE END

 

^^

Beautiful story.

[JakeyC]

get up, have a wank, open parcel, play gta all day, pause occasionally for food and smokes

[Ekoms]

Hmmm like someone else said, i'll be watching NBA Playoffs on the 28th rooting for my Houston Rockets. Then taking short glances at the clock's countdown from GTA4.net on my open explorer window.

 

As it approaches i'll go get my spot outside at Gamecrazy with some friends cuz sh*tty customer service of other stores. (f*ck EB/GAMESTOP)

 

Then as soon as they call the MVP's to get in line first... a short spurt of precum in my shorts will roll down my leg as my eyes roll back of excitement. Then as I'm handed my copy another shot will soak my shorts. As it dries i'll need some WD-40 to spray between my legs so i can run home becuz it'll be all sticky icky.

 

Then i'll run to my door open it and yell "LEAVE ME THE f*ck ALONE" and start up the box. Then having trouble opening the plastic that wraps it like i always do. Push that little button and grab that Crisp new Game and smell inside the box for the new game smell. and Shoot off another load into my shorts.

 

As its loading up i'll just be in pure shock and amazement and pat myself on the back for having the patience for Rockstar becuz they made me and a billion other people wait so f*cking long.

 

And then go on GTAFORUMS.com and Make a new topic to thank all the moderators and GTA4.net people that made the wait possible and saving many people from slitting there wrist, Vertically.

 

Thanks 4 Reading WE WILL ALL ENJOY SOON

[The-Cornish-Cracker]

I will wake up around 8am, sit under the letter box for 3 hours or so until the postman arrives, he'll go to post it through and I will grab it and run to my room!
