Hi fellow GTA fans,
Hi fellow GTA fans,


I'm James Fletcher and I live in Liverpool (near Sydney), NSW, Australia.

I am a fan of the PlayStation series of consoles and my favourite video game series is Grand Theft Auto.

A few years ago I wanted a game where I was given a city and a person to do whatever I wanted. I found this in GTA III. From that day on I became the "Biggest GTA Fan Ever".

Since then I have owned every GTA game on a PlayStation console. While I still like the Do What You Want thing, I now like the story lines a lot more.
Since then I have owned every GTA game that has been released on a PlayStation console. While I still like the sandbox aspect of gameplay, I now like the storylines alot more.


I like to consider myself an expert on GTA Vice City, but I can also help with the rest of the GTA III era games as I have played them all.

I have played GTA and GTA2. I am yet to play GTA Advance, or any of the London's.
I have also played [[GTA 1]] and [[GTA 2]]. I am yet to play [[GTA Advance]], or any of the [[London Expansion Packs|London expansion packs]] for GTA 1. I have also not played [[GTA Chinatown Wars]] as I do not own a [[Nintendo DS]].


I have recently completed both the "Deal" and "Revenge" endings of the storyline of GTA IV for the second time (this time without cheats). I primarily chose the "Revenge" storyline and just played the "Deal" storyline to see what happened. I preferred the "Revenge". After completing the "Revenge" I simply saved on another file so that I could go back and complete the "Deal". I am going to go for the 100%
I have recently completed both the ''Deal'' and ''Revenge'' [[Endings in GTA IV|endings]] of the storyline of [[GTA IV]] for the second time, this time without cheats. I primarily chose the Revenge ending and just played the Deal ending to see what happened. I preferred the Revenge ending. After completing the Revenge ending I simply saved on another file so that I could go back and complete the Deal ending without replaying the entire game. I am 108 [[pigeons]] away from [[100% Completion in GTA IV|100% completion]] in my no cheats save game.


I would like to be able to consider myself a good resource for GTA IV information and eventually become an expert.
I like to consider myself a good resource for information about GTA IV and am becoming an expert. I have not played any of the [[DLC]] for GTA IV as I do not own an [[Xbox 360]], and my brother, who ''does'' own a 360, doesn't have the Internet, so he can't download the DLC. I am hoping that what [[Microsoft]] has paid for is "time-exclusivity", and that the DLC will eventually be released on [[PlayStation 3]], as [[Rockstar Games]] ''have'' said that DLC for the PS3 is "likely".


I discovered Grand Theft Wiki when I was searching the Internet for a source of information on the Wanted Level system of GTA IV as I noticed it was very different to that of the past.

I then decided that as the Biggest GTA Fan Ever it was my duty to help make this site the biggest GTA resource on the web. I have used this site to get a lot of information and have added a lot as well.
I then decided to help make this site the biggest GTA resource on the web. I have used this site to get alot of information and have added alot as well. I initially had no intention to stay, but I'm happy that I did, and I now have no intention to leave anytime in the future. The fact that I initially had no intention to stay explains my username. I just put in the first thing that came to my head, giving no consideration for the future. I have since tried to have my username changed to something more personal but [[w:Wikia|Wikia]] staff won't change it, saying that only specific circumstances qualify for a username change.


I used to help Wikipedia but don't any more, the people here are more friendly, I enjoy it here, I think we all have the same idea of put the information on the page, then we can fix it up, something is better than nothing.

My first GTW friend was [[User:Eganio|Eganio]]. Ironically that friendship started with him correcting my edits. He explained what I did wrong and we became friends (like I said earlier, the people here are much friendlier than Wikipedia). He taught me the power of actually reading and adding to talk pages.
 
I became an [[Administrator]] of Grand Theft Wiki in October 2008. When I got the email that [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] had edited my [[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever|talk page]], I had no idea what he was going to say, and the last thing that I thought he was going to say was that I had been promoted. In fact, I was busy and hadn't been on the wiki for three days when I read that email. I however ''did'' know that it was something good, as he had also added me as a friend. Confusing me further was the fact that someone had edited my userpage (I didn't yet know who it was). I later found out that it was Gboyers, adding the {{template|Admin}} template. When I reached my talk page, before I knew that it was about a promotion, my Internet was acting slow, so the extra tools at the top of the page didn't load straight away, meaning that I didn't notice anything until ''after'' I read the message.
