Friday Night Fights: Grand Theft Auto IV edition photo

The Internet has been ablaze with Grand Theft Auto IV "news" this week, and it's driving me absolutely insane. Sure, it was nice hearing tidbits about the game before it was released, but can everyone shut up about it already and just play the damn game?

If any of you share my frustration, I urge you to jump online tonight with the Friday Night Fights crew for some good old-fashioned simulated bloodshed to release all of that stress you've built up during this week.

Oh, and for those of you who can't remember when FNF kicks off, it generally starts at around 10:00 p.m. EST, although it varies for some games (check after the break for more specific times).

@The-Excel: I always do. Seriously. It doesn’t matter if I’m seeing a comic book movie or There Will Be Blood — I always stay through the end credits because I like to see the music they used in the film as well as the locations where they filmed the movie.

All the cool kids still have their GTA IV shrink-wrapped.

No? Ah well. I may be on CoD, but I'll probably just sleep.

I need to play some single player, but I WILL be on. After last week's fiasco at trying to play COD4 while getting massively hammered on jack and coke resulted in me vomiting all over my sister's bathroom, I'm flying clean and sober tonight. Unless someone buys me a drink.

:hic:

I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT TILL I GET MY OWN PLACE AGAIN IN JULY!

I'm going to have 5Mb UP!

15 Mb DOWN!

I WILL BE ABLE TO HOST EARTH on that connection.

@dvddesign: Jack & Coke? You seem like my kind of guy. Very classy. Also, are you getting FiOS? That’s what I have at home, and on the PC that’s wired to the router, I’ve gotten speeds as high as 26 Mbps down. And even on wireless, it’s still around 10 Mbps. Man, I love FiOS.

FiOS is the shit. I used to have AT&T FiOS, but they capped the connection for users at 6Mb down. I'm moving in June to a place with Verizon and they got 15Mb down guaranteed.

Also, Gentleman Jack and Coke.
