Thank you to everyone who turned out for our special GTAIV Social Club Multiplayer Event, held on October 21st in honor of the 10th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III. Special thanks especially to our invited guest players from some of the most long-running GTA fansites who've been down since around the time of GTAIII's release - including such old school vets as Zidane from GTAGaming.com and Psy from iGrandTheftAuto.com who played along with us on PSN, as well as G-WizZ from GTAwh.com, adamcs from GTANet.com and Chris from TheGTAPlace.com who were playing at the same time on Xbox LIVE. Cheers to all the other fansite admins and community members that were in attendance, check for your Social Club handle shouted in our attendee roundup further down.

Congrats to the event's Grand Prize winner, Social Club member and veteran multiplayer event player MCKing, who scored the Deluxe Grand Theft Auto Prize Pack including custom-designed GTA PlayStation 3 controllers and the limited-edition Claude action figure. Additionally, the following 20 runner-up winners will be receiving the GTAIII Knuckleduster Mug plus t-shirt and stickers: it_is_me_iT, jesse45, Sincualas, vince_42069, colbent, PiSt0N420, Shorty2, DR.PHILY, Commander622, alisuger, Ricey10, kiddg123, cortstone, EllexLanaz, Chains89, MattyJ94, Valdo552, Gibs70, Darthoch and cabrown93.

Make sure to join us at our next event coming up this Thursday November 3rd (4-7PM Eastern) playing Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year. Note, you do not need to own the GOTY Edition in order to play during the event, as long as you have the modes we're playing at any given time from the original Red Dead Redemption release, from Undead Nightmare, or from any of the other DLC - it's all compatible).

Another veteran Social Club multiplayer events player, GermanScientist (from RockstarBase.com), captured a pretty wild race on video that included the likes of gtawh (aka G-WizZ of GTAWarehouse.com), LazyPyro88 (aka ChrisJP of TheGTAPlace.com), j2mm, B0AxChuckie96, AdriaanLive (aka Adriaan from GTAHood.com), JStorm05 and GreatBigBore. Check out the clutch escape at 2:00 in and also a pretty awesome front tuck at 3:00 - nicely done, sir:

Always make sure to shoot us a mouthoff if you capture some good action from future events, and we might include your video link in upcoming recaps.

Here's some screens we plucked from the live feed, highlighting just a few memorable moments:

Hope to see you all at the Red Dead GOTY event this Thursday November 3rd - whether throwing down on Xbox LIVE, entering the event giveaway, or joining in the live chat during the streaming broadcast at www.rockstargames.com/socialclub/multiplayer. Have a look at the official Social Club multiplayer events calendar for full details on all remaining events we have coming up through the end of 2011.

In addition to the times and dates listed on the official calendar, we sometimes like to just get on and play our titles with little or no advance warning. The only way to know the moment we decide to play is to follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages. Many of you know we do extra Triple XP sessions for Red Dead, and following us is the only way to know when we're jumping on...
