Give me Liberty ...

The package arrived this morning.

A safe deposit box, a set of keys, a cd, some pictures and a map of my destination. Roman had been good to his word - this was my ticket to a new life, a new start in the land of opportunity. Ok, so the ship was a rat infested hulk, but what's a little more hardship? Besides, it's five star luxury compared to - well, let's not go there.

Not just yet.

I can see the lights now. Skyscrapers lost in the clouds. Neon signs colouring the mist. The navigation lights of the harbour buoys blinking.

Not long now.

Roman has promised me a room in his mansion and the keys to one of his sports cars.

We'll see.

Welcome to Liberty City.

I failed to buy into the hype until too late...my copy should arrive sometime next week!

Ah yes Liberty City, how cool is this game?

It is very cool indeed. I actually felt guilty when I ran a pedestrian over by accident and then saw them limping away with a broken leg!

You felt guilty? Hmmm...mostly all I do is run over pedestrians - that, and jack cars. One of us is doing it wrong. :-)
