Grand Theft Auto Still Banned Down Under

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the flushed-cds-spin-the-other-way dept.

SicariusMan sent us a CNN story that talks about australia upholding the ban on GTA3. It's been mentioned here before, but its interesting that its gonna stick. GTA3 really is perhaps the best PS2 game out in recent memory. I'm having a PS2 resurgance of late, beating Klonoa2, MGS2, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and getting hooked on Jak and Daxter and Frequency. And GTA3 is easily among the best of PS2 games. Sorry .au! At least they probably won't ban FFX!

    Read the story title.

    "Grand Theft Auto Still Banned Down Under"

    Meaning to any average (non-/.) person: "Stealing Cars is Still Illegal in Australia."

    Sounds good to me. We need to replace all bad things in the world with beer and sex.

    Hmmm... let's think for a minute:

    Perhaps you lost your (precious) moderation points because you POSTED A REPLY TO THIS STORY???

    ... or maybe, just maybe you lost your moderation points because people don't care to hear your WHINING and your post was COMPLETELY off-topic.

    Yeah, and I bet the CIA's plotting against you, too - evidenced by the fact that you got pulled over for doing 70 in a 55, right?

    Lt. Taco unless there actually IS a PS2 game called FFX... then I'd be a 5 * General Bean Buritto!

    This is a common misconception, but as with most misconceptions, it's *not* true. The Coriolis effect is not powerful enough to overcome the effect of minuscule imperfections in the structure of the sink/bathtub/toilet/whatever. Not by a long stretch.
