I’ve never been way into the GTA series. I’ve been medium-into it from time to time. I played Vice City and San Andreas, but never to state of total unambiguous completion. The sad truth is, I am one of those gamers people complain about, who are totally focused on combat simulation, and there are way [...]

It’s been twenty-three hours since 12:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, when Grand Theft Auto IV hit the streets of Los Angeles. My neck is stiff. My wife is mad. My dog is swollen with urine. But after almost a day of Liberty City action, one thing is clear:

Sometimes I get to see movies early. The movie studios all have New York offices, and in those offices they have little plush screening rooms — baby movie theaters with nice sound and no popcorn — and sometimes they invite the press to come in and see movies early, partly in the hopes that we’ll [...]

EDITOR’S NOTE: Today’s Nerd World post, entitled “Wikipedia Brown And The Case Of The Unreliable Swear-filled Encyclopedia,” will not be seen today.
