Well, 7 months after buying GTA IV, I finally took it out of the closet and installed it. First thing I did, after the hour and a half it took to setup, update, and tweak graphics (to the very lowest level, of course, except traffic density, which I kept at 100 since I love driving through traffic in games), and finish the first mission so I can save, I went online for some multiplayer.

Wow, what an amazing experience! Besides the lack of lag, deathmatch gameplay was just plain fun....
