Grand Theft Auto IV” may have gotten some things wrong about New York City (we were only kidding, angry Rockstar fans!).But one of the things the developers got right was the home of MTV.
Our MTV building, where this very post was written, resides at 1515 Broadway at the heart of Times Square. Our office tower was faithfully recreated in the game as MeTV at 1717 Burlesque, in the heart of Star Junction.
We went outside, and then into the game to prove just how good a job Rockstar did representing us. It’s almost like our own virtual Cribs.

Yeah, but Times Square is NEVER that empty.

I’m still recovering from the “great fan-boy attack of ‘08.”
Having finally gotten a chance to play last night, I have an addition to your list:
as a resident of, err “Broker,” I have NEVER seen so many yellow cabs outside of, uh, Manhattan. I could have used on o’ them this morning.

i would like to thank MTV for ruining popular music as we know it. use to in order to be popular musicians had to learn to actually be good and put effort into their work. now MTV has changed all that. now all you need is an image and a pretty face. it’s so much easier to steal people’s money nowadys.

Yes, it was very different back when artists didn’t have “images” and “pretty faces”. When was that exactly? the 1400’s? The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? Led Zepplin? Kiss? Yeah - none of those guys had images - it was only about the music.
