Should I Use My Floating Holiday to Stay Home & Play GTA VI?

Hey friends, Matt James here. And yes, before you ask, I'm an almost 40-year-old man who is really looking forward to the upcoming release of the Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI.

If you're not aware, Rockstar hasn't released a new GTA since V came out back in 2013. Yes, 2013. There are literally people who were in diapers for the last GTA release that can now legally drive.

What's fascinating to me this time, however, is all of the anticipated changes and upgrades that will be in this new game. It's like time in Vice City will never stop. We're being told that even while you're not signed in and playing, the NPCs and other characters will continue living their day to day life.

Crime, missions, police interactions and relationships will also be drastically different in the new game and, if you didn't know, the map is going to be massive. If you want to get a jumpstart on playing, my advice to you is to pre-buy and download now.

GTA VI is reportedly going to consume a whopping 200+ gigs of space on your console, so it's gonna take a hot minute to download. Then, the game will unlock to begin playing on Wednesday night / Thursday morning at midnight on November 19th.

So here's my question? Here at my job in radio DJ land, in addition to vacation time, I also get a couple floating holidays to use at my discretion. Does it make me look like a total bag of tools to use one of my 'holidays' to stay at home and rot in front of a video game?

And, before you judge me, do a quick Google search, because there's lots of people just like me who are lowkey planning to do the same thing. And at the end of the day, I think it's at least a little better than calling in sick and lying about it, right?
