Oh my heart..



As you guys probably already know, IAH is the distributor of Grand Theft Auto 4 in the region. The much anticipated game is scheduled to hit stores today and as most of the staff in IAHGames are gaming geeks, almost everyone in the office are jumping around in excitement to get their paws on the awesome game. The limited edition set comes complete with duffel bag, GTA4 game disc, a safebox and key, artbook and game soundtrack.

I REALLY, REALLY, REAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLY want to get the game but I finally decided against getting it because I'm in the midst of moving to my own place and the cost of household items is slowly but surely burning a hole in my pocket. Do you guys have any idea how much a rice cooker and sofa set costs?!

I've always stayed with my parents but now that I've hit the big 2...., (ahem, not revealing my full age :P), I felt that it was time to strike it out on my own and move into my own place. My room is currently in a horrendous mess and so far, I already have 7 large boxes filled with my stuff and my room isn't even half packed yet ><. (2 of the boxes have been solely dedicated to my collection of video games, muahahhaha! I'm not parting with any of it!)

So... now I can only watch in pain as EVERYONE around me runs around in glee with their super awesome GTA4 duffel bags and enjoy hours upon hours of pleasurable gaming wreaking violence and mayhem in the game while I'm stuck with a stack of useless household supplies, alone and depressed...

Oh my heart... someone stab me with a wooden spoon now pls. :(

In more HGL related news, we had an in-game event last Saturday and I had a pretty grand time! Zombies were spawned in Holborn station and the Community had to count how many undead protesters there were.

The event soon turned kinky though with Alliance members discarding their armor in support of the Zombie movement.



Wear no clothes, save the zombies!

2 Heroic dye kit codes were up for grabs - 2 going to the first two players to post the accurate no. of zombies on the forums and 1 to the player who posted the best screenshot of the event.

Congrats to baboo, wilson chicardo and chinatown who emerged the winners of the event and many thanks to all Alliance players who took the time to participate and make the event such an enjoyable experience.

P.S. To everyone who's getting GTA4, please invite me to your place soon to let me play it pls? Please, please, please?
