All I have to say is this:
For the first five hours this PS2 game had me and my roommate rolling on the floor in laughter. I woke up the next day and my stomach still hurt. Once we started playing it seriously it got even better. This game is just frosty. Too many easter eggs to even probably find them all… I’m still in shock over how cool this game is.
Oh, yes.
unfortunately GTAIII starts to become a way of life after you’ve played it too long. After watching my boyfriend play for three straight hours, I was walking out to my car with him. We passed a truck idling at a stop light, and after we walked by I turned to him.
“Sean?”
“Hm?”
“I think we’ve been playing too much GTAIII.”
“Why’s that?”
“Um, the fact that I was fully expecting you to carjack that truck we just passed, for starters…”
A few days later Sean, who works in a video game store, reported that a cop came into the store to buy a Christmas present for his kid. Sean got VERY nervous and kept staring at the cop’s gun. “I think my wanted level went up two stars.” 
oh yeah! And welcome to the boards!
HELP ME I’M ADDICTED TO THIS GAME!!! I played through all the missions, so now I just stock up weapons and have an all out war with the cops/feds/army.
Luckily Metal Gear Solid 2 comes out tomorrow, so that should break the addiction with a new addiction.
Thanks, broccoli!. You’re the first to welcome me. 
c_goat, I’m afraid nothing can be done. GTAIII is a gateway game that leads to addictions to harder games, like MGS2. I’d recommend getting into rehab now before this becomes a serious problem.
DAMMIT
I need some money… gotta get more games… gotta get MGS2… dammitdammitdammit
