Where is this "gamer" so that I can rob him of his early copy?

I guess this guy is on an ocean liner in really choppy seas. That's what I call mad gaming skillz yo.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: I'm willing to set aside our differences and work together on such a lofty endeavor. Where is he, Nick?

@TheHonJudgeSmails: On an oil rig in the North Sea.

Director of Photography: Michael J. Fox.

@In Other News...: It's metagaming. He's playing as a drunk guy while drunk.

@In Other News...: He's drunk! That's why the screen jumps around!

@Conbon: Noelle says you can't help.

Is the camera moving around too? WTF. No prize for this guy.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: @Conbon: One of those kotaku nerds has to have a copy. But aren't they in CA? Conbon - you have your mission.

@Conbon: @Nick Denton: Oh dear. Gotta turn the speakers up.

@Nick Denton: My former TV news self wants to tell this guy: "SHOOT ON STICKS."

This is just a normal looking night to me...

Evidently The Pirate Bay is actually afloat, and adrift.

@Nick Denton: Stop copying me.

@fiveinchtaint: OK, but we're not sharing with Smails anymore.

@Nick Denton: damn it mr. denton, you really make it hard for a devoted servant to stay mad at you. between drunken booty calls, that ridiculously gleeful (TWO EXCLAMATION POINTS!?!?!) response to in other news and the unfair. bon mot in the nik deogun post I'm utterly re-smitten with you.

I knew he was a Serb. Croatians drive better drunk.

@Nick Denton: In your next GTA post, can you let us know how much Rockstar Games is paying you for these advertorials?

I've seen this game before.

+ Watch video

@fiveinchtaint: I thought the guy was moving the camera around too. Because you can see that the computer monitor itself is wobbling back and forth.

But then I had a holy shit moment when this fact dawned on me: The dude's filming this with a camcorder that's got an image stabilization (a k a "anti-shake") feature!

So the camera "corrects" for the wobbly image on the computer monitor by making that game image stable, which makes the rest of the image (the computer monitor, and the area surrounding it) look like it's wobbling around instead!

Wow. That just blows my mind.

@MisterHippity: So if I drive drunk, but rely upon a video camera with image stabilization for visual stimulation, I'll be ok?

@dado: Why the Serb-hate, man? Woman?

@urnidiot: Actually, they're probably pissed that we jumped the gun on their carefully planned publicity campaign.

Hope the AI for the cops is a little better than this clip suggests. Here Belic evades the pigs by driving in a few slow circles and into walls. The real NYPD would have dragged his ass to the Tombs.

my god....reminds me of my college days.

Ha! That's awesome!
I bet the car was really hard to control.

@JRS-One: You've always been able to avoid the cops with relative ease in GTA.

i can't wait for this to be at best buy, so kids will line up to play it--leaving Brawl all to me! mwa ha ha ha ha.

@Nick Denton: Like the PR-planted story into today's NY Post that's strikingly similar to your 1st post from today? Not sure I buy it.

What is Staten Island if not an industrial wasteland loosely based loosely on Jersey?

... Too easy, i know.

@MisterHippity: Interesting, but doesn't explain why the camera operator is incapable of getting the entire monitor in a single frame, though.

They sure have come a long way since the top-down GTA I days.

@DorothyMantooth: So GTA is basically like being white?

@In Other News...: Runs in the family.

@Toomanytomatoes: May I just waste my own time and Gawker's space to ditto this? Good times. Until I wrecked my car and got arrested. But up to that point--good times.

Where is the drunken booty call? Do we have to make do with the sad pr0n for blind people?

Someone send me the cheat code for "Lohan Mode"...

Hurry up take2! Pull this clip!

...idiots

OMG I recognize buildings in my hood. Too TOO freaky.
