Nine people who got WAY too excited about playing GTA V

Some people take this stuff a bit too seriously.

Gamers around the country - nay, the world - came out in their droves last night for the official launch of Grand Theft Auto V.

Shopping centres and high streets across the land were treated to an influx of mostly teenage boys dying to get their sweaty mitts on the long-awaited Rockstar release.

Some of them were up way past their bedtimes...

Naturally, having waited so long to play the epic game, some fans got a little… over-emotional on Twitter, where over two million tweets mentioning GTA were recorded in 24 hours.

Here are a few of the best.
