  • I remember when GTA 5 came out, everybody was excited. San Andreas had been HUGE. Both in map size, and in game sales.

    I bought it day 1. Then the PS4 came out, and GTA5 for PS4. By this point we all knew what GTA5 was.

    My friend wanted so badly for me to buy a PS4, just to buy GTA 5 again, just so he’d have someone to play with.

    Then PS5 came out. Same story.

    I actually bought a PS4 at some point. Regret it. Barely ever played it.

    Then I bought a PS5. Regret it. Barely ever play it.

    And now that I know how microtransaction laiden GTA is, I’ll be skipping GTA6 entirely.

    Now I see them firing a bunch of people. A few days later I see GTA6 is delayed until this time next year.

    Why would anyone be excited for a series that now peaked 21 years ago, and has only had 1 other release in that time?




  • A cop? Lying? I don’t think thats legal. And cops are there to enforce the law…therefore, cops good. Right?

    …guys?

    Oh come on. It’s my first day on earth, and I’m not yet capable of critical thinking. Therefore, I can only say opinions based on nothing, and argue them as fact. If you argue back, I’ll argue louder! Because as we all know, the loudest opinion is right! And who’s louder than me? I’m an American! We’re known for our being the only place on earth. And therefore everybody is right! Except for the people who argue with me. They’re clearly wrong.

    TOAST IS BETTER THAN BREAD!!!












  • I remember in 1993 my dad tried saying that video games make kids violent.

    For anyone too young to pick up on the obvious situation here, 1993 was the year the media started looking at games like Mortal Kombat, and saying video games are violence simulators. In those days, news was different. Today there’s heavy bias in reporting. Watching the same story from 2 different reporting sources will often paint a vastly different picture. In those days however it wasn’t nearly the issue it is today. Fox News didn’t exist yet I don’t think. And even when it first started, it wasn’t what it would later become.

    The news was just the news. And the news was saying video games make kids violent. My dad was doing the modern day equivilant of parroting fox news talking heads points. No opinion of his own. Just parroting the news.

    So when he said that video games make kids violent, I said “Dad, I have 3 games. Sonic 2, Madden 93, and Jurassic Park. By your logic, I should be a star athlete who can play in the NFL, who runs so fast that I become a blur , and is also a velociraptor. Teenagers in the early 80s would be great at tennis, crossing the road quickly, and know how to shoot down UFOs.”

    He had no rebuttal, because nobody on the news made those arguements.
