About Me
BOOYAKASHA!

26 year old gamer from the east coast. Some call me PhonySoprano since I'm Italian, from NJ and NOT in the Mafia. Nor do I apply copious amounts of hairgel, wear thick gold chains and scream "Who ate all the gabba-gool?!" The rest of Dtoid knows me as PetiePal or Petie.

I'm a IT Professional, Network engineer, Project Manager and Technical Writer by trade. Gamer not by choice but destiny calling. The second I played me some Atari and old ass Sierra games I was hooked. Playing ever since.

*GTA IV Radio Replacement Project*
PetiePal | 6:48 PM on 07.07.2008 7 comments




I'm sure if any of you have read my previous articles you've gotten the impression I was quite underwhelmed with the soundtrack in GTA IV. Rather than sit idly by I decided to start my own "radio replacement" project. The stations will include the following:

[b]-80s (Not including anything from Vice City or VCS)
-Alternative Rock (May be merged with ROQ)
-Classic Rock
-Club
-CoverXYZ (Covers of songs)
-Easy Listening
-Jazz
-Rap & Hip-Hop
-ROQ Radio (Another Rock station...think KROQ)[/b]

I've compiled a good list of songs for the radio stations but the rest is where the Dtoid community comes in. Within the community a lot of people have expressed interest in helping out with commercials, DJ spots and even song suggestions. I'd like each station to have it's own DJ and feel just like in all the GTA games. Commercials will be huge and station call-signs as well. Anyone who is really good with audio editing I definitely could use your help in overlaying the voices and clips over the song intros and outros.

So far I've only mapped out what the ROQ station will be. The DJ is going to be a "guido" from Alderney who broadcasts from his mother's basement, which is also where he lives. I'm going to take point on this one but the rest of the stations are up for volunteers. So if you'd like to help out with:

-Sound editiing
-DJ voice acting
-Commercial voice-acting
-Commercial ideas
-Suggestions for songs or any other input

leave a comment with your Gtalk or email and I'll invite you to the Google Group I'm using for this project.

I look forward to the results of this project. I'll brainstorm for song suggestions/commercial ideas and get back to you.

I made up a custom playlist for Vice City, which was underground/post-punk stuff. Like Husker Du, early Sonic Youth and R.E.M., Cure and stuff like that. Wonder if I can find it.

I can put together a Metal radio if you want. I have access to loads and having a seeing as I am a brit me as a DJ could be quite cool.

I was actually thinking of putting a station together out of nothing but tettix music. I have all 500+ songs of his so it won't be hard to find a setlist to put together.

I could possibly do a Metal, Covers and possibly a classic rock station.
It's a great idea as I too was not too impressed with the overall soundtrack

Scissor Sisters, LL Cool J, In Flames, Cameo, Gorillaz, Micheal Jackson, Boston. Those and I'll be happy.

Also, I'd love to voice/write DJ commentary.
