    Nope. We're grown ups. With jobs.

    And we can stay up all night playing it if we want to! :D

    Hhhmmmmm.... now if only I had a copy. :(

    Yup, I'm in exactly the same boat. Have the leaving cert to get out of he way, then I'll get it.


    Bloody leaving cert...

    A lot of my friends have the leaving cert too, and they aren't even allowed play the xbox 360! :D Then there's a mate that has chemistry exams coming up.

    As much as i love the GTA games, i think its better to just pass the exams then play GTA as much as i want after.

    Well there is an "Addiction" title in the stats menu, maybe you could play just a little bit?? ;)

    i had to leave my xbox at a friends house to prevent me from playing this game while exams are on :(

    ahh the joys of doing college work placement.

    you still feel like you're in college but you get paid and have your nights free to play GTA :D

    /me ducks incoming objects.

    I bet you are going to break into your friends house to retrieve your xbox some time this week! :D

    Ah you'll learn more about life from GTA than you will from a secondary school education. It's a tough world out there.

    the worst thing they did was relesase it on a monday nite sure if be a fri or sat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I get paid tomorrow. I'm strongly considering going out and buying a 360 with GTA IV. Then I may stay up all night drinking expensive imported beer and eating expensive pizza. Cos that's what you can do when you have a job.


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,331 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    I suppose just after the exams are finished, when you are free to lounge about all summer long would be a good time for you? ;)

    Amen brother! Still though... work is pretty much getting in the way of me being able to actually pick up said pre-order. Tis a double edged sword!

    Im on placement from college so have money but the only copy of the game i could get is at home in Galway and Im in Leixlip role on Friday!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,007 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    Its a conspiracy to make you fail your exams so you stay immature and remain in the target audience for the game :D

    Clearly! :p Several newspapers will be running with this story and are interested in your comments, PM me for details :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,904 ✭✭✭cian1500ww


    I have the damn leaving as well but I'm still getting the game. You can't spend all your time studying !!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    Got the game and have exams in two weeks. Was orignially planning not to but I feel I can manage it, I just stopped playing a few minutes ago to study (hence why I'm reading boards)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    I had it in my hand and didn't buy it.

    Same as others, exams in two weeks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,179 ✭✭✭Unearthly
