Why yes indeed it is. tl;dr When I started playing a game called Jedi Academy online I called myself Darth Vice in honour of Vice City. But soon after I joined a clan and with my clantags my name wouldn't fit, so I mustered all of my creative powers and came up with the revolutionary and trend-setting name... ViceMan - the name that you know and love today. Haha. To begin with, I read ViceMan as WiseMan.

And wasn't San Andreas the first game where you could swim?

Above all, congratulations on your graduation from University. That will help fuel you for the rest of your career/life. A major accomplishment. Wishing you well.

You mean you never played Vice either?! Blasphemer! You really should play them as they are still great to play, and you'll be rewarded when all the plot pieces fit together, it'll give you a sense of accomplishment. I never played Vice, I think i'll play GTA3 first. Vice City is why you call yourself ViceMan?

I jumped from GTA2 to San Andreas so I totally missed it. I think I have bought III later but I've never found time to play it. After playing GTA SA, it'll be a step back, but maybe a step back I'll just have to make one day. I'm sure I'll like it, but it can't possibly make such an big impression on me as San Andreas did. No game can do that on a 2D TV screen. A gang war in the Las Colinas area scared me up out of the city and into the bush. A large group with automatic weapons was after me and I had little health and could easily die. It was like an exercise in the army... And there are a hundred other unforgettable memories. But enough about San Andreas, I'm a bit off topic here.

But we know Phelps is obsessed.

I knew that fucker was a wop. No wonder he fancies the ass off that nazi Elsa Lichtmann.

I posted this news last week but seeing Rockstar just got round to it I thought I'd post it again: L.A. Noire Honored as First Videogame to Make Official Selection of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser added: "We're thrilled that L.A. Noire is being recognised by the Tribeca Film Festival in this way. It's a real honour, and another step forward for interactive entertainment." - DigitalSpy

A Rockstar North dev just tweeted this: "The Tribeca Film Festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro. It's a sizable, annual event that has never before recognized a videogame." Also, anyone not pre-ordered yet? Official Pre-order page I've pre-ordered "A Slip of The Tongue" because mooching round the city searching for cars really appeals to me for some reason. Soundtrack is included too which you'll be able to download (by entering your code) from a page on the official site (which hasn't been added yet btw).

It is strange how L.A. Noire is getting all this type of attention before it's even been fully revealed. Maybe Sam Houser will bung Barack Obama $4,600 to mention it like he did prior to the launch of GTA IV? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmYyvLTzPhQ

IGN Review of GTA3 (October 22nd 2001)

That's a pretty good idea DuP'. Starting out at the bottom sounds appealing, not sure about Dhaka though I'd still like the next one to be somewhere in the U.S. but somewhere new. *Waits for TreeFitty to shout HAWAII!!"

I like driving vans in GTA and wouldn't mind cruising round in this:
