    28, remember being refused when trying to buy GTA2, then as I was walking out of the shop the guy called me back and sold it to me. I did actually forget it was an 18s game. :D

    I know, you need to at least give it a few minutes to avoid looking desperate.

    What are you on about? It was a joke.

    If I was on a predominately female forum and came on to say "I'm a guy gamer" I'd get the same shit

    I can just picture two of your work colleagues talking over a coffee.

    Colleague 1: So John, hows that tracker mortgage coming along?

    Colleague 2: Splendidly Frank. That interest rate of 4.95% lets Martha and I take the kids to a trip for a couple of days to the south of France. Martha's parents own a small vineyard there. Should be an absolute ball.

    Colleague 2: Oh, that is marvellous John. I myself was thinki......

    Andy Pandy busts through the door simulating a riff from his favourite rock song via air guitar.

    Andy Pandy: What up bitches? Say any of you see a sweet ass yoyo laying around here? Oh wait. Here it ****ing is.

    *Produces yoyo*

    31 although the nice judge deemed me a 12 year old nut job with a heart of gold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,280 ✭✭✭Glico Man


    26 years young.

    This is the 3rd GTA game (VC, SA, V) I have taken time off to play. GTA IV being the odd one out in that I was supposed to be studying for exams at the time of release.

    24, Played the originals in the 90's, rented them in the beginning when I was way underage, they didn't care then. Bought GTA 2 when I turned 12 I think, had to get my dad to buy it though as Gamesworld as GameStop was known then as then, wouldn't sell it to me, as well as GTA III and Vice City, They gave me San Andreas when I was underage though, think I was 16 when that came out. By the time IV came out I was legally allowed to buy it.

    Quite looking forward to V :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭Mr Simpson


    23, first GTA was III, seems so long ago now!


  • Registered Users Posts: 428 ✭✭[Rasta]


    21. played gta 1 back in the day, and I remembered how I had no clue what I was doing.
    Somehow lost track of GTA until I came across vice city when I was about 12. Been glued to the games ever since.

    Too bad I have to wait probably another year for GTA V (I'm probably better off considering I have an fyp to do this year). I definitely can't go back to a controller and the poorer graphics since playing them on a pc has spoiled me. All the mods alone make playing on the pc so much more fun.
