At the Giants/White Sox game this past weekend, they played the typical organ tunes ("Charge!") and drum beats to get the croud cheering.And then suddenly I realized every time the drums beat:
Boom, Boom, Boom-Boom, Boom
I reflexively said:
"And in the bottom of the eighth, the Zigaton Crabs are down with three, the Eyeballs up with seven..."
OMG
OMG
OMG

OK. This is not proof yet. It's not a product release. And it's not a rerelease on the DS, which is what I would really love. But you know, I'll take what I can get. Of course, the title of this blog is Familiar With Disappointment for a reason...

We were watching the Daily Show last night when a Grand Theft Auto IV commercial zipped past us on TiVo fast-forward. Strangely, the Boyfriend (who is not a gamer) stopped, rewound, watched the thing, and then paused and looked at me. "Do we need to get the new Grand Theft Auto game?" I asked. He got that funny look on his face he sometimes gets when he wants things and said "...maybe."
I wonder if his friend at work got it yet--the mild-mannered one who they nicknamed "CopKiller" after GTA3 came out...
Several people on our gay gamers board and on my friends lists have made borderline- to fully-obsessive comments about it.
It sounds like this time, Rockstar made the game with actual crack cocaine in it. That's my only explanation.
