LC DLC FTW!

GTA 4 gets its first DLC on xbox

Back in July last year when I split up with the ex and moved in with my mate, GTA 4 filled many many hours of fun for more or less a complete month as we systematically took the game apart. It was pretty much my favourite game of last year (although my 2 month love affair with WAR comes close but once again, I was left disappointed with an MMORPG). The new episode, which Matt downloaded yesterday is finally here and once again we are getting ready to tear Liberty City a new one. I'm kinda sad that Niko Bellic isn't the protagonist this time around. I've not paid too much attention to the build-up for this so know very little about it but nevertheless I'm really looking forward to playing it. With conflicting schedules, it seems the first available window to try it out will be Friday, which coincides with an online event that will let you play against the developers. I'd really liked to have got some practice in beforehand but meh, what can you do? I'm sure much carnage will ensue.

In other news, this evening sees Man Utd play Fulham in an outstanding fixture that will hopefully see me jump a place in the fantasy league. Most people have Man U defenders and a fair few have the "gelled tumbler" as Captain so there is not too much potential for change in the league but you never know. I could really do with Ronaldo repaying some of the faith I put in him when I savaged my team to afford his exorbitant price, right before he went on a Nani-esque run of doing hee-haw. Things are really tight in the league around me at the moment and a goal or two could see me move up to 5th or 6th, which given I was down in the bottom half before an excellent January would be a decent achievement.

In real life football, it's the 'Well vs St Mirren in the cup replay tomorrow, with Celtic awaiting the victors in the next round. Bit bummed with the draw to be honest but I suppose to win the thing you have to beat at least one half of the Old Firm along the way (usually). That's exactly what happened in 1991 when we beat Celtic 4-2 in a replay at Hampden with Colin O'Neil scoring a wonder strike.



I remember it so well. What a strike! Could this be our year again? We need to dispatch the Saints first which wont be easy by any means. Mon the 'Well!
