About Me


Whats up Destructoid?
My name is Sean McLoughlin and I've been sent from the futurepast to march with my fellow robots to victory. For Niero!

My favorite games can be numerous (as I'm sure is true of most here at Dtoid), but my all time favorites are Final Fantasy VI, Diablo II, Bioshock, Braid, Demon's Souls and Metal Gear Solid. I never rent games and I rarely trade in or sell the games I buy so I have a pretty massive game collection. For the sake of space I'll just list the consoles and portables that I own: NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Gear, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Advance, Playstation, N64, Playstation 2 (one original which is broken and a Slim), Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, Neo Geo Pocket, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, PSP 2000, Xbox 360 (red-ringed once), a fully backwards compatible Playstation 3 and a Wii.

When I'm not in school or gaming you can probably find me reading a science fiction/fantasy novel or an issue of Wired or some such. My favorite authors are George RR Martin, Terry Brooks, Garth Nix and Terry Goodkind. I'm also a big fan of movies, my favorites right now are The Departed, Smoking Aces and Crank, although my all time favorite movie/director is Reservoir Dogs/Tarantino. I don't watch much TV and if I do its usually Discovery channel or Science Channel. I love Professional Wrestling, Y2J SAVE US! My favorite band is obviously The Grateful Dead although my musical tastes are quite varied. I listen to everything from T.I. to Metallica to Toby Keith. Also, MC Chris FTMFW!

Bored? Why not try one of the games I've made:
Floyd's Tomb
Season of Thorns

GTA 4 Top of the Pile on Xbox Live
DaedHead8 | 2:04 PM on 05.04.2008 11 comments



This is my current wallpaper. I think it's pretty badass, if you like it too, enjoy.

Thats right, according to computerandvideogames.com, GTA 4 has topped CoD4 and Halo 3 on the Xbox Live activity list. This news isn't surprising to me. The game is a masterpiece. However, I doubt this will last. In my opinion the multiplayer isn't anything to go crazy over so once people start beating or getting bored with the storyline I think we will see CoD4 and Halo 3 rise to the top again. Here are some numbers released by Xbox Live:

1 million users went online with GTA 4 in the first 24 hours.

2 million achievements were unlocked in the first 24 hours.

15 million+ achievement points were unlocked in the first 24 hours.

1.5 million game invites were sent in the first 24 hours.

I can only imagine these numbers were helped by bullshit reviews like this one. As amazing as the game is, it is not flawless. I haven't beat the game but I can see why it is getting 10/10 all over the place. From here all we can do is look forward to Destructoid's review of them.

If Euro FNF is anything to go by, the invites are so high because you disconnect all the bloody time...

No surprise here. I'll probably get bored of it in a few months...which goes against everything I've said about GTA prior to owning it.

GTA IV has such amazing multiplayer. It's hard to think that I will someday find it boring.

I take what I said earlier back. I played a "free for all" match with some people from DTOID and it was actually a lot of fun. I can see it being WAY fun if I had a mic... now if this shit hole of a town would just carry ONE store with USB mics, I would be ok.

I don't reckon the multiplayer is anything to really harp on about. I find the single player much more rewarding. Seeing as how I'm the only one of my friends that own a 360 and a live connection, maybe that's why playing with strangers isn't as fun. If only they bloody included offline multiplayer...

I just think I will buy a BT headset and go all out. I might as well... otherwise I will be sitting next to the damn PS3 while pixels smash my brain from being so close to the tv.
