Oh, nothing against GTA. I've had my moments of mindless rage in that game, no doubt. I did also eventually get rid of the versions I had because, well, a friend once walked in on me beating a guy to death with a baseball bat yelling "die you homeless f#$%, die!"


It was at that point I figured that game was not healthy for me.

years ago when my wife and i were just boyfriend/girlfriend, we broke up for three months...in that time she dated a firefighter...guess who gets a beating/blown up/run over/etc., etc. when i play GTA?...it's really sucky when everyone loves FF's and they make me cringe...

But hey man, why take it out on the firefighters? You won, right? You got the girl...no reason to be concerned about it now, right?

i have a scenario i ask of my frineds that gets them thinking....

3am...your on the interstate, very sparce traffic...youre rounding a long turn. ahead of you, what appears to be a gang, is standing, side by side, elbows locked across the entire span of the interstate, shoulders included........
what do you do?

pretty scary to think of actually.

If i saw a gang locking their arms together spanning out the entire friggin freeway.. I expect them to do the CAN CAN

I'm not sure why your buds are thinking about this. I would laugh because it's such a funny situation.

I would say unrealistic, but you may have gotten it off some news story..

Also, Robin Hood: Men in Tights comes to mind for some reason..

just something i conjured in my twisted head around the time that carjackings were becoming more abundant. i dont see the humor in it. you gonna stop in the middle of the interstate for 50 or so gang members. what, you think they want to wash your windshield and want 50cents. at 70mph, you encounter people in the middle of the interstate, i assure you, youre not laughing.

i think the cops would be on my side when "i tried the best i could to stop"

-They need the time to span the entire freeway, which would be at least 4 lanes or so.
-The cars will just pass and merge through the part of the road the gang hasn't covered yet
-While all of the cars are merging or going through the small window in the unity line, the traffic will probably slow down incredibly, meaning somebody will be bound to call the cops about it.
-At least some of the gang members are going to crack before the guy in the car
-If the cops come they will have very few options for a runaway, especially with all of the pissed commuters
-If they steal a car, in the locked traffic they've made, how will they leave?
-Some of the gang members are going to figure that their lives are worth more than some car
