Patty-T Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I just ordered a book off amazon called GTA-ology. I haven't heard of it before today. It's all about how you can make your life more like GTA. Has any one else heard of it or purchased it? http://www.gta-ology.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I've never heard of it before... tell us how it is when you get it! Seems kinda interesting. Though.. I dunno about living my life like that. Missions? Like.. stealing crayons and an extra piece of cheese on a hamburger? haha. How long do you have till it gets here?

Patty-T Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 It should arrive in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Apparently the guy who wrote it sent "popular GTA websites" a free copy. Never sent me one so I thought why the fuck should I post about this. From the cover it looks kinda retarded though, bit of a half-arsed effort. I mean he has even failed to use the real GTA logo, honestly looks like he made it in Paint or something. From what I'm told from someone who has actually read the book is basically that the author is obsessed with the game and it's a bit of a boring read... obviously you would be to write a book about it... Let us know if you feel it's any different though, but I certainly don't plan on ever purchasing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOYA Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 OMFG!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! OMG. I'm definately going to have a look for this! lmao "The Book that Turns Your Life into a 'Live Video Game'. Out Now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 This guy is actually a genuine arseface, he calls claude 'the gtaIII guy' what a freakin' tard. If he bums out GTA so much that he writes a book about it, he should know claude is his proper name - bloddy hell, what a tit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I could probably make a better book about GTA then him...wait a minute...can't Rockstar sue this guy for using their product name and shit like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelman101 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 lol like Chris said "his GTA logo isnt even right"and yeah he should get sued for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Funny thing is that NONE of the GTA webmasters I spoke to about it when it was released last year or whenever had ever heard of the guy. Nobody in the community knows who he is, as far as we know he isn't active in any GTA forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 My god a drunk baby could have made a better product or logo. If I was R* I would sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Sue??? for what? The only thing Rockstar would want to sue him for is because he's some what making them look bad, well GTA. They could sue him for a number of reasons but the question is, "Why would they want to sue him?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOYA Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I think the book is a joke. It's like that think your way to success thing on Vice City. lol I love that kind of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I wouldn't sue this guy. I'd carjack him, beat him with a bat, and run him down all while wearing a Claude name tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty-T Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 I got the book today. I've skimmed through it and it seems alright. I'll tell you more about it when I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I got the book today. I've skimmed through it and it seems alright. I'll tell you more about it when I read it. Excellent, please do let us know how you find it, I'm interested to hear the view of a fan who has actually read enough of it to have a more informed and valid opinion.

tilly Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 the book prolly sucks.... but i would prolly like it. I like these kinds of "survive a zombie attack, and know all that you need to know about them" stuff. puts yourself in somone elses mind and its pretty fun to do what they say and learn about the stuff in the book (real or fake w/e) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty-T Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) I finished reading it and it was actually quite good. It talked about making maps with people you know marked off on it and how you shouldn't let somebody help you before you help them. It was full of different GTA inspired advice. Alot of the stuff in the book I would actually use in real life. I guess some people might not like it but I thought it was pretty cool. Some of you judged a book by its cover.

mvi Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The author sent me a free copy back when it came out, (this was in the days of running gtaprojects.com,) I read a fair amount but I didn't find it inspirational. Just mainly about how he thinks of his life as a game. View it as a way to spice up your life, or a way to be more of a gta geek. Either fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I don't agree with the whole "never judge a book by it's cover" - I mean wtf is that all about. If someone has put little to no effort into making an attractive cover, then why should I feel any different about it's contents. I'm sorry but if you're gonna write a book then make an awesome cover to attract more people to it. It's just common sense. No offence mvi but that sort of takes the piss a bit if he sends a free copy to small sites like yours, I mean presumably he was hoping you'd write positively about it on your site. Why not send one to me then? Not to boast or anything but to be fair I could have reached far more people than you could. C Blood that's good you actually enjoyed reading the book after everything we said about it. I'm still not convinced enough to buy it though. I rarely read books anyway. I also don't need advice on how to live my life. I find him a bit of an egotist thinking he can make loads of people live their life like GTA. You should live your life how you want to, not base it off a videogame. If you can find way to incorporate parts of videogames then that's fine but I'm sure you don't need Ty Liquido (that seriously cannot be his real name) to tell you.

Kitsune Inferno Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 And if you are a true GTA fan, you don't need a book to tell you how to live your life like GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
