Man, people aren't doing too grand about GTAIV, huh? Stabbings?

Man. I'm amped up about the game, but i imported, so i have to wait a week or so before i get it. i'm excited, but waiting for it in the mail means i can sleep without thinking about it's release on a certain day. but i'm not gotta be a jerk about it.

nice to see people are showing stiff-heads that gamers aren't douchebags when it comes to games.

here's one link, (http://kotaku.com/385209/art-imitates-life-+-man-stabbed-in-gta-iv-queue) (also now i read that this is a false story by the press) then i read this utterly fucking stupid article where a bunch of young men broke a teenager's nose and jaw and stole the game from his hands.

and then i read this on kotaku:


A very friendly, and obviously unhappy, fellow answered the phone who, after thanking me for not yelling at him and apologizing profusely for the problem, spilled quite a bit of beans on the issue:

i hate idiots.

also, hope this shouldn't have gone in another gta thread...

XD, what the fuck goes through a person's mind to hurt someone over a damn video game. Do they even fathom the consequences of doing stupid crap like this. If you go to jail, can you play the game, HELL NO!
(I need to massage my nawts, THEY MADE THE GAMING GOD ANGRY!!)

First of all people get it sooooo backwards...so backwards

ART IMITATES LIFE!!??? there is nothing profound about that statement....
Its like saying the "ground is below me..."
After hearing this your brain is like "yes, 1+1=2"
not profound or correct...

it reads correctly: LIFE IMITATES ART...that one makes you think and is the correct quote.
now the with that correction the article makes more sense....

and so does the GTA game theme...

Now as far as the article....why did dude stab other dude?
How is that really connected to the video game besides the fact that the line was for the game.?
I hate stupids...

kinda off topic here but...Lemme give you a prime example of "Life imitates art"
-----------------------------------------------------
In Russia during the mid 70's a group of scientist and breeders wanted to make some of the local fox's less aggressive...
so they tried an experiment...

They breed a colony of fox's that were taken from the wild, to be less aggressive...they released (I want to believe) the aggressive ones toward humans...the ones that were aggressive to other foxes...
They did this about 10 or more generations of fox's and started notices a physical change in the animal that was unpredicted...
While the fox's became more tame, they began to resemble domesticated dogs, with spots, pretty fur patterns, and fluffy tails...(really cute, totally take one as a pet)
They called the final generations of their experiment Fox hounds...
thats what a fox hound is and came from...

Life imitates art...the emotions of life, attempt to resemble the artistic perspective that we humans take on. Its kinda a unexplainable phonomina, but exist in our reality....thought manipulates matter

But its much simpler for a baka to write or state "Art imitates life; cause when you see the ocean you draw the ocean... and its art!! YAY..."
