Living life to the fullest.
Grand Theft Auto 4 has been on my to-do list for a long, long time because like Gran Turismo 5, GTA4 is a practical way to live life to the fullest. By fullest, I mean repetitively pushing buttons on a Playstation 3 controller at 1am while eating cold buffalo chicken pizza.
But, aren’t life lessons better learned when they are simulated on your television? So let’s see what we can learn from playing GTA4 instead of actually doing things.
Sightseeing
With the power of the Playstation 3 Cell processor, gaming living life has never been more real.
A nice walk to the MET.
Morgan Stanley & Crowne Plaza
Times Square
More can be found at Sightseeing in Liberty City. The best part is how you can tour the city with a motorcyle, a car, a boat, a helicopter, a fighter jet or a jet powered backpack. Just like in real life.
Relationships
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on dating, chocolates, flowers and other niceties to learn that your not appealing to the opposite sex, GTA4 is a great resource in learning practical life lessons about dating. A few from the GTA4 dating FAQ:
The main reason to date a girl … is to get stuff from her.
[I]f you’re going to kiss a girl, give her a gift first.
Every type of date can end with an invitation into the girl’s house for “coffee.”
If you let her shoot you until you die, your relationship with her will go up by 10%.
Practical, real life lessons from GTA4. Your welcome.
