So, i was doing these last fall before i broke my leg and never got around to doing them again (mainly because there was no GTA news). But since were heading into a busy stretch, and i didn't want to do the same old BOORING podcast, this is a little something different, as podcasts Go. (script below). http://k003.kiwi6.com/hotlink/hy1yhi21s6/ddd.mp3 Script proceeds

Again, there are several accents associated with NYC. Linguists like to believe that there's one New York dialect called, not surprisingly, the New York Dialect. However, a trip around NYC will tell a different story. You've got everything from the old school(and slowly dying) "Brooklynese"(a good example being the voice actor of Joe from Mafia II) to the Puerto-Rican influenced accents of Spanish Harlem and everything in between. 50 Cent, who by the way, has never pronounced his name "fitty"(watch any Youtube clip of him, EVER) has what is known as the African American Vernacular English accent, with a little New Yahk thrown in the mix. It doesn't sound much like what most people associate with the New York Dialect. This is because the Great Migration(basically when the blacks moved to the cities from the South) occurred largely after the influx of Jewish and Italian American immigrants into NYC(which contributed most to the New York Dialect). Well, about a million or so moved to the big cities in the 1920s and 30s, but the largest migrations happened 2-3 decades later, after the apex of Jewish/Italian immigration. Which is a long-winded and pretentious way of answering The Mad Dooby's question: yes, technically 50 Cent does have a New York City accent.

I think the guy selling his house in the trailer is just an indication that this game will be set in a world undergoing a financial crisis, in fact not dissimilar to our own world. Note that after this clip is when we see hobos and prostitutes. It's setting the scene, not hinting at gameplay elements. Which isn't to say there won't be property ownership aspects anyway. I think they are a popular enough feature for R* to include them again.

We saw a man selling a home in the trailer. Could this mea we can finally buy homes again ( Hopefully ) thoughts

This is what I rock out with.

I noticed someone tweeted this 'theory' to me earlier and I was ready to retweet it to my cult members when it suddenly dawned on me that it would be a better idea to add you to the Shit List.

Hahahahaha. This is so horrifically bad it's actually hilarious

Fuck London. Flat, boring, gay compact eurobox cars. Skinny ass streets, the weather is SHIT. Clouds everyday, rain, no sunshinee. The Getaway SUCKED

People just went silly with these speculations lol. It isn't meant to represent anything. It's like a tease from rockstar. The place where the next location was supposed to be written on was teared off. Get it? Next Stop: [we're not gonna tell you] The poster beneath was probably just to illustrate that it was ripped off. They took a funny poster from a sex shop and put it underneath.

I am almost certain buying property will be back, it was so popular it would be retarded for R* not to include it. With the incorporation of mobile-phones, maybe you will have to go up to the house, call the number that is displayed and buy it like that rather than just walking into a floating icon.

Some days I don't even know what a computer is...

Well atleast there wasn't anything about me...

I just want to be able to customize it, kinda like saints row

@Fitty, note on oracle looking car Second Gen Shafter just alittle modified

Because look at it.

i loved buying properties that was my favorite. i think R* realized how much most people miss that feature and will most likely bring it back.

You make me sick.

Are you getting the box set? I'm too fucking poor to get it but I hear its got bonus material from all 4 albums.
