You win. I am now too disturbed to mock you further.If only wit worked in Halo... or any of the video games I play.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I have GTA! I didn't preorder it, because I'm an idiot, and it sold out across the UK. However somebody from my work managed to score a copy for me.
I've played for a good 6 hours and it's awesome. I also think it's a wonderful send up of American culture.

I played TF2 for a bit last night. Fun, but I had to put up with the "You Suck!" from teammates. Not unexpected, it is the Internet after all.

fans have begun complaining that the game’s resolution on the PS3 is lower than it is the Xbox 360.

Kevin, they've always been a parody of American culture, or lack-there-of, but with the extra horsepower of this system they can do it with radio, TV, internet and all the other goodness.
I didn't preorder either. I never preorder as I find that supply issues are always exaggerated. I just walked into the local Target and picked one up.
Gud, are you playing TF2 on PC or Xbox? I have the Xbox version and have wanted to try it out but have been wary of jumping in to a game I am way behind the curve on. There's enough abuse on Xbox Live without inviting more.

I'm on PC. The abuse wasn't any worse than I was expecting, I'll just jump into a different server next time. I've done Soldier and Medic so far and it wasn't too bad. I haven't played against people since the Quake II days. Heck, I haven't played single player FPS for a couple of years before I just picked up The Orange Box.

So how plausible is this "people won't go see Iron Man because they're too busy playing GTA4" bullshit?

Not very. If someone wants to go to the theater to see Iron Man, they're going to go. Maybe the opening numbers might be a bit lower, but that's the only thing that seems even somewhat plausible to me.
