Here is a bit of a comedy piece. A writer at the Exploding Barrel website has written a story about the joys of sharing GTA IV with his wife, or rather lack of joy. While not being sexist this is pretty freakin comical with her sparing enemies, driving by the road rules and beating up a dumpster.
As of late, much of my time has been spent in the friendly confines of Liberty City, and my wife has been extremely tolerant of my gaming time. Last weekend we were about to go out to eat, so I began shutting the game down when the thought popped in my head, “After watching me play for hours, I wonder if my wife wants a turn?” She was sitting on the couch next to me, so I extended the controller to her and asked, “You wanna drive around for a bit?” She replied, “Sure, why not.” During her time in Liberty City, my wife somehow manage to suck all of the fun out of GTA IV.
I was in some shitty coupe when she took over the wheel, and she began tooling around the city in a leisurely fashion. I mentioned that she might want a slicker ride, and helped her exit the car and attempt to jack another one. She ran up to a car with two homeboys in it and yanked the door open, but that’s when things went horribly wrong. She walked away from the car, and one of the gentlemen came chasing with a baseball bat. In all the excitement, she clicked the left stick sending Niko into a crouch then yelled “Why does my guy keep ducking??” I yelled “Click the left-stick” repeatedly without realizing she would have no idea what that actually meant. Attempting to flee the scene, she crouch-walked down the street only to get whipped some more with by the guy with the bat. Miraculously, somehow she ended up punching the guy several times, knocking him out, and getting his bat. After walking around in circles a few times, it was finally time to leave the scene. As she was leaving, we saw the guy she just beat up limping away. I suggested she finish him off and she said “Awww, that’s not nice, he learned his lesson.” He learned his lesson indeed.

I'm leaning slightly towards pitiful since she told her husband to stop shooting people because he was "being like that kid from Virginia Tech"
Ah, I thought she would have done something more exciting like...leap off the top of a building, or exit the helicopter high up. xD
“Awww, that’s not nice, he learned his lesson.”
That's just too cute. xD
I have actually been tempted to try being the 'nice guy', and driving around like a regular citizen...
In Driver 2, you had to, or you'd get chased by any cop that saw you...
Edit: Nevermind the site seems to be working now, pretty funny.
Love the last line.
LMAO at the story. Hilarious. I have handed off previous GTA's to adults in the family, and all I can tell you is that it is worth every second, because the shit they do is priceless.
I'll never forget my father on his first ever try getting a six star wanted level
Hahahaha!!!! That had me laughing for a pretty long time. LMAO!
