GTA San Andreas Goes Swimming, Gangbanging, Smuggling
Thanks to Eurogamer for its article revealing a number of new details on Rockstar's forthcoming Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as printed in the UK's Official PlayStation 2 magazine. Topics discussed include the 'invention' of swimming ("We just got pissed off with people saying, 'We can't do swimming'... so if you drive off a bridge you're not going to drown"), the advent of gangs ("You can now recruit a gang and take over territories with them, and then lose territories if you don't look after them. So you've got the idea that bits of the map become personalised to you as much as your own character becomes personalised to you"), and the widening out of the game world ("We love, from a technical point of view, the driving in the open spaces on Smuggler's Run. It's awesome. Now you'll be able to do that in GTA, with all of the GTA gameplay.")
The attitude that illuminata is exhibiting reminds me of the people that would bitch about RATM because they "sold out" by playing concerts and selling CD's. The point is that the GOOD stuff, with an intelligent--or at least thought provoking--message, should reach the largest audience.
The bitching was because they were signed to Epic Records, a big old Sony subsidiary. Hard to say bad things about big business when you're part of it, but that never stopped them. But facts sure do taste better with a bunch of glaze over them don't they? And, just for the record I thought that their message was filled with half-baked hippy bullshit and that their music was terrible. Thanks assholes, you helped give us rap metal.
We do not want a country that does not trade anything, and thereby does not advance at all. We want a country that does not waste money on consumer items, but still is willing to suport that wich makes life richer and more full.
Where did we come in to this? Who's we? Anyways, I have some awesome beads to trade with you, they up your spirits and make you feel whole again just by wearing them. Do you have any authentic hand-weaven rugs to offer? I'd like one with a lot of color in it, that way it'd give off some rad auras when my friends come over and we sit down to form the Circle of Peace.

Excuse me, since 1997, according to Moby Games.
Wow, the series is that old...
