Trailer for GTA IV DLC

I've been playing a lot of GTA IV lately trying to finish the storyline and achieve 100% completion, so I'm pretty stoked that they released the trailer for the First DLC episode the other day.

For those of you that aren't GTA fans, or simply if you live under a rock, here's the trailer:


From GTA4.net:
The title of the content is going to be called "Lost and Damned". You will take on the role of Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang The Lost. This is what Dan Houser had to say on the new DLC for the Xbox 360 :-

"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background," says Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games. "I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City."

The content is due to hit the XBL marketplace on 17th February 2009. You will naturally need the original GTA 4 and you will also need an xbox live membership (although no word on whether you just need silver membership). The pricing of this new content has not yet been released.


I can't wait until February 17th.

Global Warming My A$$


Yesterday, on what was the coldest day of the season so far, the heater in the house started acting wonky and not putting out as much heat as it should. This morning, Mrs. Bill called the gas company to have them come out and take a look at the heater to make sure we weren't going to go up in a big giant fireball, and they found that the burner had a very large amount of rust on it and in the jets, so they turned off the heater and told us to get ahold of a repair man ASAP.

Mrs. Bill called the landlord this morning and spoke to his wife about the situation, and we got a repair man out here with a quickness. "Handy Manny" cleaned out all the rust and soot out of the burner, and got things fired back up. Before the repair guy got here, it was 9º F outside and 50º F inside. Awfully hard to type with numb fingers. Right now, though, the temperature inside the house has risen to a balmy 52º F and the feeling is beginning to come back in my fingers.

Where's that global warming when you really need it?
