I have never seen it- can someone here enlighten those of us who are curious as to what the big deal is?

Isn’t it a computer game?

(ok I have only ever played QUAKE and that was oddly amusing, but it never made me want to blast someone into chuncks)

It’s a computer game that pervasively simulates & rewards being a street thug: robbery, grand theft auto, wanton violence, cop killing, hooker use/abuse/murder, drug distribution, etc.

In Quake you ran around fantasy environments blasting hypothetical monsters.
GTA brings violent/illegal behavior much closer to home, something the player can far more closely relate to.

Kind of like quake but there is a great deal of driving of every different sort of vehicle, the games are mostly set in an urban jungle type of environment, and it’s a huge parody of tv/movie/rap culture.

Oh well, apparently you're still going to hell. Sorry about that.
