Grand Theft Auto 4 (or GTA IV if you like) has barely had a chance to burn rubber across the game store shelves and the hottest search item on Google is for cheats! Give it a rest! Go play the game first. Man!

The New York Times said, “Grand Theft Auto IV is a violent, intelligent, profane, endearing, obnoxious, sly, richly textured and thoroughly compelling work of cultural satire disguised as fun.”

Hmm? But nobody wants to play game for its intelligence and rich texture, they just want to go all mindless.

What’s the appeal of getting cheats for a game before you’ve even had a chance to explore it? Why do games developers bother? Why not just make the game dead easy so all you have to do is drive around and commit mayhem? Take all the challenge out of it. Coz that what it seems people want.

Kinda furthers the myth about games players just wanting mindless violence.

Can someone explain the point of resorting to cheats so soon?

Here’s another one I looked at and didn’t see the value of. But again, so wrong.
It’s quick add is sensational, it’s calendar sharing a breeze, it’s daily agenda emailled to you super helpful, but best of all is it SMSes you all your appointments beforehand.
Just fantastic!

However, I’ve now taken the time to explore a few of the other gadgets you […]

After much resistance, finally upgraded my Mac’s RAM from 1GB to 3GB. The difference is amazing.
I needed it because I run Windows (in Parallels), Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Safari and Firefox all at the same time. Plus a few others like Mail and Pastor. Not surprisingly that was killing my machine.
Now it flies! Well, it’s not […]

For fun I’ve started making a list of real people I’ve come across, whose last name reflects their occupation such as Mr Caterer - Publican/Hotelier, Ms Roots - Environmental Scientist and Mr Bell - Inventor of the telephone
As I come across more, I’ll re-issue this post with the date of update.
