Over many years, Rockstar Games built games that tried to bring stuff that we, decent and equipped in a brain people, do not do, into the gaming world. What kind of stuff?
Well, stealing, killing crazy amounts of people, driving over pedestrians, selling drugs, dealing with mafia is simply all Grand Theft Auto series is about. There are many reasons of why they succeeded in doing that – but as the biggest one I’d name openess of the world. It’s truly eye-popping how in GTA we can do almost everything we want, without being limited to very closed areas, simple missions and very few other possibilities.
Life is complicated; I killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different
And usually, this advantage was just enough to bring thousands of gamers in front of their machines. But with GTA IV, Rockstar took it even further. The game finally consists not only of huge world, but also of a plot that is very appealing to most of us and huge number of other improvements.

Three broken pairs during one year. These earphones (well, previous model, but as far as I heard not much has changed) are way too fragile for my not-so-much sophisticated needs.
What needs, you may ask? Since solid few hours a week I spend sitting in a bus surrounded by old, sleepy and boring people, I gotta kill the boredom somehow. Music (combined with Instapaper, oh yes!) does just well. After that earbuds simply land in my pocket and suffer in there for an entire day. You may say every human on the Earth planet listens to music that frequent. Apple ones couldn’t handle that.
So when during one day at school one of the headphones simply stopped working I decided that this shit got way too far and bought something different. Worth mentioning, that way earlier pause/next song button refused to do stuff too. Limited budget sucks, so I had to stick with, still low-end, Creative’s EP-630.
So far so good.
