That could be cool. I notice it's hardly come down in price. Maybe I'll pick it up in May for cheap, which will tide me over until SA is cheap. I'm cheap.

The first HL is still like 30. I doubt it will drop any time in the next year or so. But it's completely worth every penny. That with the new Counter Strike that comes with it. Plus HL2 has a great deathmatch game.

I don't do death match, got bored with that back in the days of Doom 2 and Duke Nukem.

Yeah but in this one you get to use the "gravity gun"
a gun you get to use in the single player game. You can pick up large objects with it and throw it at enemies. In deathmatch, one of the levels is a jail. You can pick up toilets and smash your enemies skull with it :-D

Sam, you keep talking about "corporate marketeers" who "brainwash" people into becoming "consumers" 24/7, and things of that nature, so much that you sound like one of those conspiracy theorists. So, I have two questions for you:
1) How would you respond if I told you that the only "corporate marketeers" who ever tried to "brainwash" me into become a "consumer" were idiot holy-rollers involved with some stupid church? (Yes, I am an agnostic, non-churchgoing, right-wing, Bush-supporting, Grand Theft Auto-playing Republican.)
2) What's the frequency, Samuel?

Got the PC version a couple of days ago. Great game. Takes up where Vice City left off in terms of graphics, gameplay and the overall hugeness of the world. Very well done.

When I was a little kid, I played with Meccano, Lego and Tonka Toys. I read comics and made sand castles in the back yard. I drew and wrote as best I could. These were my hobbies.
Young children should not be playing these games. Life and creativity should be messages for children. Not death and destruction.

He was/is way ahead of his time. His book, Stop `Teaching Out Kids to Kill is good. So is, On Killing. His credentials are impeccable.

Yes true wisdom is often submerged by the detritus of modern culture. More people should visit his site. Especially parents.
To: Red Sea Swimmer
Parents should pay attention to what their kids are consuming. Supposedly good parents who wouldn't dream of giving their kids ice cream for breakfast, let their kids consumer almost anything in terms of music, video games and movies etc.

Our 16 yo boy has the game. (we bought it)
He spends MORE time looking for the 'goodies'(helicopters/airplanes/etc) than in the killing stuff. And he won't do any 'killing stuff' when his little sisters are watching him play. ALSO, they are NOT ALLOWED to touch his game systems unless he's there to supervise what they play. (HIS rules)
He's a 'mean' big brother. Just ask the girls!

No problem. By the way, the rating on all GTA games is "M" for Mature. The equiv. of an R rating in movies.
