Grand Theft Auto Released For Free
Snover writes "It's already incredibly difficult to actually get to the site due to its extreme popularity, and can only get worse after the inevitable slashdotting, but Rockstar Games has updated their original hit, Grand Theft Auto, to run on 'modern' computers and released it for free to the public. It'd be nice if more gaming companies did this! Unfortunately, it (of course) is Windows-only and utilises the propietary DirectX API, but hey, free game for anyone that's paid the Microsoft tax! (The download speed, once you actually manage to connect to the site, is quite excellent -- it's maxing out my 2Mbps connection.)" Ah, what a classic game.
I submitted a story yesterday about this.

I think it means that mixing cider in wine makes you soil yourself. I can well believe this.
no, a crazy-cowboy president is.
What gives you the right to go and attack these countries just because they are your flavour of the month?!
What would you people be saying if these contries had an attitude like yours? You'd be condemning them for being evil, greedy and self serving!
Well guess who are the real religious fanatics who are trying to rule the planet with an iron fist!
Are you kidding? Have you not heard anything about Afghanistan since they stopped being the 'evil enemy' who you morally 'saved'?
Since the war, there have been power struggles (inevitable), public bombings between factions, much of the country is controlled by random warlords, and some of the country is even back under control of the Taliban again!
But no, nobody seems to give a f*ck about Afghanistan anymore. Are CNN not covering it? Strange, that.
Just when will it stop? Who's next on your hitlist? Will you just go around killing everyone until everyone in the world bends over for the U.S.?
