I know hardly anyone ever comments on here, but I really recommend checking out the Shia LaBeouf interview or look at the neogaf thread about it. It's pure fucking gold, and I gained a lot of respect for him for speaking his true feelings instead of acting like all these other celebrity "gamers" who only like the wii cause it's popular.

Awesome i'll check out that interview.
Wait are you saying he doesn't like the Wii, or he DOES like the Wii but not because it's popular, but because it's a good console?
tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 21st 2009 11:06PM
He HATES it. I mean, he says when megan fox asked him to play lego star wars with her on the wii he said no and that he would rather eat glass.
I couldn't even act like I hated the wii as much as he apparently does, cause if megan fox asked me to play it I'd be over before she could finish the sentence.

Ugh, i read the interview. I respect the man more as a gamer now, but his views on the Wii are similar to someone els..
OMG. Tmac is Shia LaBeouf!!!!

At least Rockstar keeps supporting the PC version of GTA4 with the patches, but I really hope they'll bring the DLC to it as well. Please? : )

I agree, drop the Lost and Damned and the new dlc together on steam. I'd buy GTAIV and the DLC in a heart beat.
Einhanderkiller @ Jun 22nd 2009 1:42AM
I don't really care about the DLC, but it'd still be cool if it came on the PC. It'd probably be GWFL-only if it did come, though.

seeing so little heat for Dawn of Discovery (PC) it's sad. What a fun demo...
