Fried Day
Well, after a long weekend of GTA playing and party-ing, I'm ready for bed at 9:01. I guess that was...8:01 yesterday...or 10:01...I don't know, I never know. I hate this stupid time change every year. Why can't we be like Arizona? I don't get it. It's stupid. Anyway, I forgot to say Happy Halloween so...Happy Halloween. It just doesn't mean as much as it used to. I remember when we were kids and Halloween was second only to Christmas on the Holiday list. I used to await the candy and costumes, trick or treating with friends...it used to be so cool, now I barely notice that today is Halloween. I don't have any candy and these kids keep ringing my doorbell, for those of you who don't know, my doorbell is like 4 minutes long. Don't ask me why but it just is. This means that by the time the bell is done ringing, the next kid is here...ringing it again. I stopped answering the door a half an hour ago when I ran out of cough drops. I thought about giving out condoms, but those kids are too young for that anyway. That's why I like the idea of Chrisoween. Check it out at DbSO. Anyway, I think we need more holidays where people can dress up and act stupid...wait that's every weekend here. Oh well, I'll leave you with that and have a Happy...whatever day this is.

We Have Arrived
Long awaited, the GAME OF THE CENTURY is finally here. As you all know, I have been waiting for this game eagerly and would have been playing it a LOT sooner had Rockstar not decided to change the release date. Oh well, Bygones... Anyway, the important thing now is that I have it and am currently spending ALL my free time playing it. The only reason I have time to post right now is because I am at work. Even when I tell myself that I will take 10 minutes from the game and go post (Dust), I still cannot, I mean cannot, bring myself to put down the controller. That's how addicting this game is. I took off one day of work to play it when I should have taken a week. I anticipated being able to write an adequate review of the game after only 1 day of play. What was I thinking? I can only write what I have experienced thus far, which isn't much let me tell you. Though I have not gone far in the game, I still have a lot to say. This game is incredible, byfar the best game on the market. What I'm saying is THIS GAME IS BETTER THAN EVERY OTHER GAME OUT THERE! Yes, even Halo, sorry Sean. I love it. It has lived up to all my expectations and amazed me with gameplay that I could only dream of but didn't dream of because it was too unthinkable to think about, much less dream about. So far in the game I have: bought a wardrobe of gang colored clothes (and nice clothes also), spray painted my set with green spray paint on numerous walls, obtained a GIRLFRIEND (can you believe it), and kissed her, set myself on fire, set my house on fire, shot down a helecopter, shot down an AIRPLANE, bench pressed 350lbs, ran 347 miles, gotten 4 tattoos, 3 different hairstyles, eaten 40 salads, shot countless rival gang members, upgraded my machine pistol status to "hitman" level, taken pictures of anything and everything I could with my CAMERA, robbed a liquer store, stole a tractor, completed 2 home invasion robberies, played 2 PLAYER MODE, and MUCH MUCH MORE! Let me break it down for you:
You start out as a skinny CJ from Liberty city, coming back to Los Santos to bury your mom. After meeting all the old G's CJ decides to stay in the LS and help out his remaining family. This is the point at which the game takes off. As CJ you will complete all kinds of missions just like the other grand theft auto games but this time its more like Gang Tapes, no joke. I have heard all kinds of phrases pulled from gang movies in the game: "What up cuz", "you know where your're at, fool?" and "straight gangsta cuz" There are so many phrases thrown out on the skreet that you I haven't heard the same one twice. One of the coolest things in this game (in my opinion) is the ablility to ride a bicycle. You start the game on a bike and later on, will find many more types of this vehicle. There are BMX bikes (with pegs so you can carry another person) , mountain bikes, and racing bikes. The bikes are fun to play with, do tricks on and jump off of. You can bunny hop, stoppie, wheelie, and many other "in air" controlled tricks as well. Each bike has different controls than the others, the BMX bike is obviously better at tricks than the mountain bike, the mountian bike is great on dirt roads and in the...mountians. The racing bike can pass even PCJ if you can pedal (tapping X) fast enough.
There are so many statistics in the new game that make CJ a complex individual. There is a statistic's box you can pull up wth L1 but besides the most basic stats (fat, muscle, stamina, respect, sex appeal) there are tons more such as: Driving skill, motorcycle skill, bike skill, pistol skill, machine pistol skill, rifle skill, lung capacity, dance skill and much much more and even more after that. There are a billion mini games to play throughout the game. I bet on horses last night an won 1000 dollars, and CJ's brother has a basketball court in his yard where you can shoot hoops any time you want. CJ also has a game system in his living room that looks suspiciously like an XBOX but plays games reminicient of Atari and Calicovision. I've heard there's even a pool hall where you can shark it up somewhere in the game.
R3 missions are still here in vehicles like ambulances, firetrucks, and police crusiers but I think the best new one is in a moving van. If you press R3 while in a moving van, you can start a "home invasion" mission during the night. You must go into any home and bring out valuables to the van, you can do this by taking out any inhabitants in the home (this may be dangerous, considering most homeowners in LS are armed with a shotgun) or quietly sneak around in the new "stealth mode" which is right out of Manhunt.
You can also take over other gangs hoods by provoking a gang war and surviving (and killing) 3 waves of the rival gang. This earns you respect and cash. With enough respect, you can take members of your gang on missions or just drive bys. I am currently up to 4 memebers, which means that, at any time, I can recruit any member of my gang to go with me...wherever I choose to go. They will protect me, fight with me, and kill any rival gang members (or cops) in sight. This is nice when you don't want the wanted level from killing a cop who is shooting at you. You can command your gang to attack him and you don't receive stars for his murder.
The radio stations in SA are nothing compared to Vice City's radio, but I don't think anything could ever live up to them. There are some nice additions to the sound in GTA such as RAP. I'm so glad we finally have something to bump in the trunk of the lowriders. Speaking of lowriders, there are many more in this game than the last and, there is a Mod Garage to which you may take any car for modification. In this garage you may add, paint jobs, colors, hydrolics, a subwoofer and sound system, many different wheels, soft tops, hard tops, exhausts, fenders, and much much more. I have made a lowrider exactly like the one in Training Day.
Another great thing about SA is the voice acting. The voice acting is great so far and I have no reason to think that it will not get better as the game goes on. One of the first voices you hear in the game is the one and only Samuel L. Jackson ( I know Sean, I know). He plays the corrupt cop in this one, but I believe the voice you hear in the game is the voice of Jules in Pulp Fiction. There are other big names in the game such as Ice-T who plays, guess who...A big name rapper called Madd Dogg. I recognise many more voices that I cannot as of yet put names to but I'm sure the cast list is in the booklet somewhere or online. I just haven't had time to look for it because I've been PLAYIN THE GAME, FOR POO'S SAKE! Anyway, I leave you with that, because my thumbs are tired from playing and typing. If you buy one game in your life, let it be this one. This is byfar the best...Oh I already said that. Well you know how I feel. I give this game 27 stars out of 5. I must rest, for there lies more GTA in my future.

Laid Back
Well I know I promised a GTA review today but...I just cannot...comprehend...I NEED MORE TIME!! I will be posting regularly starting tomorrow though. If you need something to hold you, check crazy eric's site. It may prove interesting once again. Beware the profanity!

Finally...GTA
Just a short post to let you know that I won't be posting today. GTA to play, all the way, look for the review tomorrow.
Drizzle fo Shizzle
It's so damn drizzly here. I feel depressed already, and I know why the suicide rate is higher in the Northwest. These clouds are KILLING me! Where's the sun, I can't find it and it's pissing me off. This is NEW MEXICO land of sunshine and blah, blah, blah enchantment whatever. It's posta be sunny here! Ok well that's enough about the crap weather. In other news, I sold my car, which, for those of you who haven't known me for long, is something I have wanted to do for...ever. I hate that stupid little car, and now I am rid of it. I am thinking of getting a Distracted by Shiny Objects Mobile. I hear they are affordable and get good gas mileage. They also keep away crazy drivers. Great for anybody who can handle a GIANT DILDO on the front of their car. But anyway, I'm still in the market for a crotch rocket if anybody knows of a good deal. OK then, time to get back to work...but before I do, I just have to say that I am really, really excited about something that will happen in exactly 10 hours, I won't say what, but I have a suspicion that you all know what I'm talking about. See you on the sun! I don't know what that means, maybe I'm just crazy.

Sunday Sunday Sunday
I can't believe we're back here so soon, Sunday. It keeps coming back to this. Somewhere, somebody is laughing at me. Why are you so surprised, you knew it would happen...Sunday again. Where does the time go? I can't even approach that subject, it's tired enough with all the songs and conversations about it. Its just that life seems to be passing me by, what am I doing...I know, I know...Angsty Teenage Girl. Sorry, I just listened to Fiona Apple, I can't help it. No way out, no way out. Not that I want out, just sometimes in certain situations, it's comforting to know there a break on the way. You can't really take a break from life. Vacation maybe but no break.
Somehow I'm angry though, I want to punch through the wall. Some people, some things just...push you over the edge, push me over the edge. Whats my edge? I don't know but you pushed me over it and now I'm punching straight through you, coming right through you! You can't move, can't get out of the way. You're plastic and I'm breaking you into a thousand peices, can't put humpty back together again. No way. Burning forever. Gone. I will gone you. Make you a Ghost. I can't deal with this anymore. Down the Drain. Wasting time, wasting away. I can't let you waste my time anymore! You can't take anything from me anymore, you took too much, now I have nothing. Building up. Getting stronger, Getting Bigger. Come near me and see. Test me. Try it. I will make you not. You will not be.

Crazy Drivers
So what's with all these crazy ass drivers out today? I just got cut off by like 8 people acting like they were on a mission to go save the world or something. Their commute is SO much more important than mine because Old Navy is having a sale. I swear, I almost get in an accident everyday. EVERYDAY! What kind of world is this that my life is centimeters from the end, once a day. I get used to it though. People pull out in front of you, people cut you off, its all the same, everyday. Old people are the worst perpetrators though. They pull out like I'm not flying down the road at 50 mph RIGHT TOWARD THEM. Who do you think you are? Mr. Big Stuff? Don't pull out in front of people with hoopties, I WILL RAM YOU. You don't get it! I don't care about my car, I will slam into your car, just because you suck. I will dent your fender, BECAUSE I DON'T CARE. You really don't get it. If you pull out in front of a piece, he has nothing to lose! You have a nice car, it will be crunched. The other guy starts with a pile of crap, and after he hits you, he still has a pile of crap...but he feels better because an "in the car nose picker" like you who wasn't paying attention got his car smashed. Just respect the drivers on the road because, unfortunately, they are in control of a 3000 lb(min) vehicle and it could easily be aimed at you!

Dealin wit da muf**kin greatest
ok so...we now have 3 Days, 14 Hours, and 45 Minutes until the crumbling of time itself...(not really) That's just when GTA: San Andreas comes out...no big deal. NO BIG DEAL? NO BIG DEAL? Of course it's a big deal! This is the most anticipated game in HISTORY!!! How can we downplay this any further...OK I won't post anything about GTA until the release date, I know everybody's tired of Brett hollering about his stupid playstation game. GTA blah, blah, blah, that's all he ever says on his site. Can't he post about something else, something interesting, something...not GTA. FOR ONCE! That's all were asking, just one post about life, or death, or Uruguay...JUST NOT GTA..........................ok, ok I'm done. You won't hear anymore about this game until I review it on Wednesday.
In other news, the Radio Stations for Grand Theft Auto were released on the official website and...OH....sorry. Uh...
New Console on top of Old Console
OK so I just saw the newly redesigned playstation console, it's 60% smaller than the original. I think I want it. Don't ask me why, I just have to have the new stuff. I think I'll give my console to my brother and then buy the new one. It's a top loader, a little like the original playstation and it's got a new, smaller cooling fan, making it much quieter than the original. This excites me.
The new console is only slightly larger than a game box.
OK more news:
"In Australia, a man accidentally shot himself with his nail gun while building a shed, lodging a 3-inch (~7.5-cm) nail in his aorta. The nail was removed from his heart after he was helicoptered to a hospital, and he is reportedly in stable condition."
That has got to suck. This will teach you not to let your children play with nail guns. Actually that happened to me one time, except it was in my head. I still have the nail...maybe I'm just crazy.
"A 20-year-old college student was surprised to find local police, civil air patrol and search-and-rescue people at his door in early October. It turns out that his TV, a Toshiba-brand flat-screen, was sending an international distress signal strong enough to be picked up by satellite and routed to the Air Force Rescue Center in Portland, Oregon. Toshiba replaced the TV for free."
I just thought this one was interesting. Emphasis on the last sentence. FREE! They didn't even make him pay for it!
That's enough bored posting for today; more money, I mean more problems....wait - more posting tomorrow.

Makin a MIXXX
Mix it up
OK so I'm makin a mix and I'm takin requests. I want a song or list of songs that you would put on a mix for a BADASS party. I mean stuff that makes you wanna get up...or makes you want to get down, or even get it on. I want old stuff, new stuff, rock, rap, punk, gospel...well, not gospel, but pretty much anything you think will go good on my mix. After everybody contributes, I will make a CD called: Songs from the Blogsphere and I will post the list of songs that fit on the CD. So if you know of some songs that would fit PERFECTLY on this mix, please let me know! Thanks!

Resurrection
I just realized that I had not yet made a post about 2 Pac. Pac is one of the most influential rappers of...well, ever. The westside warrior was shot and killed but his spirit lives on today in his music, which I love. There are still people who believe Tupac is alive. To me, it doesn't matter if he is alive or dead. All that matters is that his music lives on unedited and uncensored, to remind us of that era. Songs like "Changes" and "Dear Mama" are full of love and concern from the heart of a thug. Others like "California Love" and "Two of America's Most Wanted" remind us of "Thug Life" in the '90s. I'm glad Tupac's music can live on and reach me today. I believe his impact was amplified after his death, and was a positive one. If you have already judged 2 Pac's music because of the person you thought he was or just because it's rap, please reevaluate his art. I urge anyone who is undecided to find out more about Pac and his music, or if you're feelin a little thuggish, Bump some Pac and let it take you back...

Here I go Again
I was just listening to this song, and I thought you needed to hear a bit of it:
I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Sometimes I feel exactly like this song. Do you ever listen to a song and feel like it was written for you in your exact situation or stage of life? Sometimes I get that feeling, and this song is a great example. I don't know where I'm goin, but I sure know where I been. I always think of the past, songs of yesterday. But I have told myself to stop dwelling and move on. I've been here before: alone. I know where to go when I'm here. I feel like I was made for this. I keep looking for something, but I don't ever find it. Anyway...If you've never listened to this song, check it out and you'll see what I'm talking about. Whitesnake was a great band overall, but this monster ballad was the summit of their success in my eyes. "Here I go again" is a must have for anybody who has felt alone.

Old School
Ok so I was watching that movie Old School today (I didn't get to finish) and the title made me think of some old school music that I hadn't heard in a while. So I commenced downloading: I got that old school jam by the House of Pain - "Jump Around" You know how it goes: "pack it up, pack it in, let me begin. I came to win, battle me? That's a sin!" Anyway, I'll be bumping that one for a while. Ok, so I was taking that one in, and it reminded me of that kid that used to wear his pants backwards. Remember? Kriss Kross, I thought he was so cool when I was a kid. My mom used to get mad at me for wearing my pants backwards to be like him. Anyway he did that song "Jump". So I downloaded that too. So here I am bumping tha old school rap and It makes me miss...4th grade. Wow. That's a long time ago. So as I start to remember all the things we used to do in 4th grade, I come up with more music. Remember Oasis - "Wonderwall"? I got it. Remember "Snoop Doggy Dogg" by...guess who...? I got that one too. I'm so happy reminiscing the elementary school days that I'm making a CD to remember it all. Fa sho, if you have time, you should revisit the old days in your mind. They make you who you are. And if you're really messed up...you'll know why. Maybe I'm just crazy.
2 New Ones!
This stuff just never stops! I got two new sites for you to look at: First, by Brian Steimes, is Distracted By Shiny Objects. You'll never get tired of this one, it's one of my favorite blogs to read right now. Check it out, and you won't be bored for days. Next blog on the list is my friend Laura's site: The D Files. This one is new and pristine, so check it out and keep checking back for more D file updates! Lemme know what you think!

Once Again...Sunday.
OK OK...I know I just posted, but I feel like I always do on Sundays and I just need to get it out. I know Dust will tell me that it won't get better until I embrace the present, but for some reason, my mind won't let go of the past. I know I've said this a billion times before but I just want to go back. I won't be redundant but I think that I need to...do something to kill this feeling. I need something new and big. I don't know what I'm saying but I want something big to happen. In the movies, people don't just sit at home and do homework or watch TV. I really wish I was in a movie. Then cool stuff would happen all the time. Somebody might bust in the door with a gun and I would have to use my kung fu moves that I learned from Mortal Kombat to kill him. Then I might go on a quest to find the person who ordered my assassination. On my quest I might encounter multiple explosions, fast cars, and more assassins with all types of different weapons. You know how it goes. I might fall off an extremely high building only to get up and limp for like 10 minutes before I was good as new. I might have to save a damsel in distress or save the country. I don't know...I just want my life to be like that. Nobody could make a movie about some kid from Las Cruces who goes to school and does his homework and goes to work and pays his rent on time and never saves the world. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until I grow up to be in a movie. For now I'll just post on my blog and get by. OK well now that I got all that out...on to another Monday.

OK so I know I have not updated all weekend but you have NO idea how busy I was. I know that's what I always say but...OH WAIT! Before I forget, I need to tell you about Ashleigh's blog. I know you know, if you seen the links poppin up all over the place, but if not then check it out: Put A Smile On Joe's Face. OK so now that you know about that, on to the rest of the weekend. My buddy Sean came down to the little LC from his crib in the ABQ to chill wit us fo a while. A bunch of the blogger's were actually in the same room! It was crazy: Dust, Psychomoore, Sean, Dick, Crazy Eric, and Ashleigh were all there postin it up. So Sean came to bring his ABQ flow don her, and you know we partied it up. Fo sho it wasn't like anything ever before. Also this weekend was a LOT of Mortal Kombat Deception playing. It was tournament style in my house! So it was pretty crazy but now I'm recovering and everything is normal again. I just gotta rest up cuz you know we doin it all again next weekend!

Straight Ballin'
Well, I guess...I was wrong. I'm truly dissappointed with Rockstar for moving the most enthusiasticly awaited game back a week. Why would you delay such a monumental occasion? Well, there's nothing I can do except restart the countdown to reflect the new release date. I'm depressed. I even took off work for this. Oh well. GTA: San Andres will NOW be released on October 26, 2004. That's 11 days, 10 hours, and 57 minutes. DON'T MISS THIS!!!

Mr. Anonymous
OK well, It seems that all of us in our little blogsphere have been VIOLATED by an anonymous commenter. It may not be the same person on all our blogs but we don't really know who they are. Sean's anonymous commenter told him his OPINION was wrong in choosing a motorcycle. Mr. Anon offended Lola on her site recently. Then, just yesterday, my Anonymous commenter decided to insult me and my fellow bloggers on MY OWN SITE. You can still read it on comment number 2 in the post below this one. I was more than angry when I read this yesterday but I later found out that Dick's site had been vandalized by this coward around the same time. It may not have been the same person but I was personally attacked on Dick's site as well as my own. The reason I want my readers to know this is that I DO plan to continue to allow anonymous comments on my site. I would only like to request that if you do comment anonymously that you identify yourself in some way, even if it's not your name. This anonymous commenter has become quite a problem in our little community but all we can do is move on.

OK OK...here it comes.
This ain't nothing but a bored post. I thought you knew. Well, I have a paper to write and some music to review but I know which one I have to do first. School is such an...annoyance. It's like its controlling my life. As if I didn't know. Well, sometimes the good comes with the bad - but sometimes bad brings more bad like bad had some really baggy pants on with big ol pockets and he stuck some more bad all up in em. But I'm not being negative, and if I am, I'm trying to cut back. I'm not so cynical as to think that this will never end. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...or did I leave the fridge open? I know that in about 4 years I will see my progress behind me, but I look back now and all I see is...well you know what I see because you see it too. Everybody has their past behind them...because, well, where else would you put it. The point is: there is no point. The moral of the story: There is no moral, at least I don't have any. I just mean to say that not everything in life MUST have some significance tacked on to it. If you have too much tacked, it seems a little "tacky". Get it. Don't go shoot yourself, not that I assume that I have that much power, but even this post is insignificant. I don't even know why you're still thinking about the things I wrote in the first 2 sentences. Just don't make life so important that you can't live it. Don't make avoid failure so much that you can't succeed at being you. Whatever, I'm not a shrink. If you need someone to talk to about your problems, go see my buddy dust, but for now, I think I'll print this post and go take some of my own advice.

The Weekend-end
Readers, I apologize for having neglected my blog for so long. I was VERY busy this weekend. Some of you may know my reasons but we'll just say I had ABSOLUTE-ly no time to post anything. But anyway, today is the end of the weekend... well for me anyway. I had today off because it was a government holiday and I usually work all day on Mondays so...I had a free day while everyone else went to school! Well, you can guess what I wasted it on...homework. To be expected right? Well I still have the evening left for videogames so after this post, I will get after it. Recent events: I just got a hold of the new Mortal Kombat for PS2. This game blows Deadly Alliance outta tha water. I've been playing it all weekend. If you have a PS2 - go buy it...unless you're saving your cash for GTA SA. Also, I have deleted my promise to give you pics as I don't know when I will be able to post those pictures. I apologize for that also. I ran into a problem with that and I don't know when I will be able to reconcile it. In other events, my buddy Dust had a confrontation with an aggressive anonymous commenter. If you have a chance, check it out at We've Only Just Begun.... I have also been downloading a LOT of music lately. With a cable connection, its hard not to. I didn't do much downloading this weekend but I have enough music to last a long time. I need to cool it though because downloaders are being prosecuted nowadays. Anyway, if you are interested and have the connection for it, check out Limewire.com for an easy file sharing program that you will LOVE. Well, I just have to get going on my homework but I thought a nice little personal update would help with the Vision withdrawls you may be experiencing right now. Check again soon for more!

Move Back?
Well, the release date for GTA: San Andreas was originally set for October 19, 2004 but now I'm hearing conflicting dates of October 25, and October 26 instead of the original date. Whats up with that? I don't even know...but I mean to find out. I hope it comes out on the 19th because I already took off work the next day to play it...Rockstar better quit jerkin my chain!
Promises are to keep
You made this for me
I promised I'd always leave it on
I'd never take it off, even when you're gone
After you hung up tonight, I couldn't go to sleep
But I reminded myself that promises are to keep
I promised I'd always leave it on
I'd never take it off, even when you're gone

I was just made aware of a photo-blogging phenomenon thats going on lately. You know me, when something like this is going on, I have to be involved. Its like this: My readers (that's you) comment on this post 3 images they would like to see from me. Just anything that you want to see me do or take a picture of (stuff around the house, actions, objects - whatever). When I get enough comments, I'll post as many of the images as possible, most popular first. So we can try this and see how it works. I'll let this post sit for about a week and then work on getting the pictures. I won't consider anonymous, lewd, or obscene comments. Thanks for participating!

Sunday Again
I know I always get like this on Sunday night. I just start thinking about everything that's going on, and its nothing like it used to be. Nothing's the same at all. Sometimes I just want to go back in time. Does anybody have a time machine I could borrow? I would be perfectly content to go back. I could start all over again. I could mess up a million times again. I could look stupid and try to act cool and go to the movies and ride my bike and throw rocks and play guns and play cars and...I just miss the "then". I don't want this now stuff, its too stressful, too depressing. Why is it that when you grow up, you must have all kinds of worries. I just wanna go back and play in the sand. I can't blame anybody for this feeling. It just happens. Everybody else seems so happy about this life. I feel alone. Why can't I be happy like everybody else. They don't want to go back and do it again. But I do. I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid. I guess I'll pretend its OK and hope this feeling goes away.

Grand Theft Auto: Counting Down The Days
Straight up Gangsta Cuz!
What up Cuz?
Tat it up
What about it?
Mow it up!
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Just the title makes me shiver. This game will ignite on October 19, 2004. For me, one minute after 11:59 pm on October 18. That's 17 days, 13 hours, and 11 minutes from now. This game will set new standards for open ended shooter, change the video game industry, and even change history. People don't realize how big, no, how HUGE, this game is. It will be the single most intense, intricate, exciting game on the market. Ever. At least until the next GTA comes out. Think about all the licensed music in Vice City. Even more licensed music in a bigger choice of radio stations in San Andreas. Think about the special vehicles in Vice City: motorcycles, helicopters, etc. San Andreas will have all those and more. Think ATVs, Monster trucks, lawnmowers, BMX bikes and Airplanes. What about clothes in Vice City. Change clothes if you want to avoid cops? In San Andreas, choose from many different stores, mix and match, and even get tattoos if you shun t-shirts. There is so much more in store for the video game enthusiast such as myself, I could never try to fit it all on one post. You WILL be enlightened to the innovations of the game after I purchase and play it. That is unless you yourself also purchase it - which I highly encourage. I'm taking off work the next day after it comes out. I need time to take it all in. I have a feeling one day will not be enough. You cannot pass this up. If you own a PS2, for humanity's sake, go buy this game. 50 dollars of your life equates to hours of fascination and enjoyment. Please do not participate if you have heart conditions, are currently pregnant, or have a weak stomach, back or bladder.
