I have to admit I'm enjoying the multiplayer mode in GTA IV a lot more than I expected to.  But I find myself in a dilemma -- I haven't finished the main storyline game yet.  I like using voice comms in multiplayer games, but all it takes is one jerk in a ranked game spouting off about the game's ending to ruin it for me.  Fortunately that's much less of a risk just playing friendly games with people I know.

I've become a person really good at acquiring and processing information.  Being in a mode where there is information I am actively avoiding is very odd, but you just can't un-learn knowledge.  I'm running into this problem with my other current obsession, which is downloading episodes of Survivor from Amazon's Unbox.  Elise and I have become quite addicted to the show, which I somehow completely wrote off when it first aired.  Now we're catching up, but Amazon makes it quite difficult for those wanting to avoid spoilers -- the very pages where you go to download the episodes list the winners of the game!  So now I'm becoming strangely adept at navigating their web pages with my hand strategically placed to block out information.
