    I wanna pull a museum heist. Then again, every time I went to a museum in LA there was nothing worth stealing. Except for the Museum of Death. Since we've already seen bits of the Heat inspired heist, I imagine other heists will be related to other heist movies. I imagine we'll see a bank robbery similar to the one in Heat.

    I will now make an incorrect statement then. Globalization is the only way for poor people to improve their lives. Dozy, enjoy the books. gtagrl, The Postman may be a three hour Kevin Costner masturbation festival (metaphorically), but it has some moments that'll make you laugh till you cry! For example, while on the run and trying to hide his identity, the Postman (Kevin Costner) enters a town run by Tom Petty, who is in fact playing Tom Petty. Keep in mind this is a postapocolyptic world, so it becomes even funnier to think that WIllie Nelson and or Trent Reznor are also running towns. At one point Costner turns to Petty and says, "I know you, you used to be famous." This turns even more ridiculous when the Postman's identity is revealed and Petty says to Costner, "I know you. You ARE famous." And I die of laughter.

    David Brin also wrote The Postman, which became Kevin Costner's best film.

    I've never been a sports guy though, and when I tried as a teen, I fucked up my knee pretty bad. I have respect for anyone who distinguishes themselves in a given field, even killers. But I am biased in this conversation. Anywho, Dozy, you should look into the works of Max Brooks, as he deals with zombies in my favorite literary light. Confederacy of Dunces is one of my favorites and has good examples of stylized speech.Good luck with the writing, boss!

    In all seriousness I don't know who he is, but I'll go ahead and say no.

    Well, if we're talking about you QFact, then yes.

    When this settles down, I have a couple of recommendations for Dozy.

    There are a lot of factors we don't take into consideration when it comes to a pro athlete's pay day. First of all, their career will be short lived, maybe stretching an entire decade. and they'll probably be injured at some point, and that injury will probably effect them down the road. Second, they've busted their asses in ways I can't imagine, even if they play for the Cleveland Browns. Third, not many pro athletes get huge contracts, and those that do get paid shit tons of money are paid for their celebrity more than anything else. They sell tickets, concessions, and ad time in an indirect manner. Don't get me wrong, I'd like some of that money to else where, but people vote with their money, and it's clear the world likes a celebrity.

    Now there's a head scratcher. If someone eating their last meal starts choking to death, do you intervene?

    Give me about half of that and leave out the fried bread and it gets a Fried bread always makes me feel sick. Not if you're dead.

    Hey Q, now this thread exists in two locations. See what happens when you give advice? 3/10

    Welcome to the forums, boss.

    And you are now Superjew. Officially. A fun look at the 90's.

    Right handed. But I control the world with my left hand.
  15. beatnicpie
    Fuck yeah!
  16. beatnicpie
    Ahhh, you used sarcasm, and it went right over my head. I think you're one step closer to becoming Superjew.

    I don't see a lot of these features as new. In GTA, the original, we had the choice of multiple characters. Car mods were available in 1, 2, and San San Andreas. Character customization has been around since Vice City, to varying degrees. I really missed the ability to purchase properties and businesses in 4. The special abilities gave me a moment of pause, but then I imagined driving in slow motion as Franklin, and it was alright. I'm as excited as I was the first time I played any GTA.

    hehehe... minimal effect.

    I better get a spear gun for SCUBA diving. I fucking hate sharks. When playing Far Cry 3, the mission on the ship nearly had me crying. At every turn I thought a shark would pop out. And now GTA wants to make me scream and cry.

    Hmm... Can't seem to get the article to load. But from what yer saying QFact, this sounds like the kind of shake up the whole entertainment industry needs. marketing as well. But I think we've already seen the fallout of the music industry when Napster started up. The tried to plug that hole and, whoops, a shit load more opened up. And then it hit the film and TV industry, and so on. I'm gonna have to follow this case.

    Never touch the stuff, myself.

    If you're needing some good spoof stuff, check out Police Squad! It's the TV show that became Naked Gun. It's even better than the movies. Kentucky Fried Movie is also killer, and made by the folks that brought us Airplane! Series 7 is my favorite reality tv spoof. 7 people are chosen at random to kill each other. Low budget, cheesy, and over the top. Just like reality tv. Which are actually game shows.

    The mumbley guy that Trevor demands a massage from sounds like Ken Rosenburg. And that Juggalo almost looks like Michaels son.

    I think the AC references come from the gameplay from E3, where there is considerable computer info displayed, not so much the free running aspect. But I see your confusion bones. Doesn't look a whole lot like AC to me either.
