Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas

I've been fairly addicted to this game since it came out for the Xbox in June of this year. I played nearly non-stop every night for several hours before realizing I wasn't getting anything else done and was depriving myself of much needed sleep. Lately I've gone into short spurts of addiction. I found myself firing it up again last night. What originally was intended to be a half hour maybe hour max turned into three hours of gang wars. I've already completed all the missions in the game and the credits have rolled, so now I'm just putzing around doing some of the seemingly infinite sub-missions and games within the game.

Currently I'm trying to take over all the opposing gang territories -- I'm nearly complete with only 7 Ballas territories and 4 Los Santos Vagos territories left to take over. It's somewhat surreal for somone born and raised in small-town Wisconsin to be rounding up gang members, ripping off a car and circling enemy territories looking for rival gang members to start a war with. And all the while I'm bopping my head to the gang-banging rap music on the car radio. It has gotten so bad that I actually enjoy listening to Afroman at work lately!
