So, um… how many days are you taking off work to veg out and play Grand Theft Auto IV? According to Metacritic, it’s the best game the world’s seen since ball-in-a-cup, scoring a 99 out of a 100 in its critic review round-up. So based on that we’ve decided to cash in our 403(b) (gotta love those non-profit companies!) and decided to live off of waffles for the next three months. Well, what else would you do when you read reviews gushing with hyperbole like this one from Game Informer?

I now know how film critics felt after screening “The Godfather.” It’s been days since Grand Theft Auto IV’s credits rolled, yet I can’t seem to construct a coherent thought without my mind wandering off into a daydream about the game.

Maybe it’s the incredibly, totally NSFW GTA clip after the jump he keeps on thinking about.

Awkward, indeed. I guess that’s what might happen if we get out of the house more often instead of holing ourselves in playing GTA IV. It’s a vicious cycle, man.
