Kid plays GTA, then learns to drive

http://www.gamespot.com/news/blogs/sidebar/909182374/26738978/grand-theft-auto-teaches-6-year-old-to-drive.html

It sucks that the parents may lose custody of the kid and his bro because of this, though.

yes because i'm sure it was all the video games fault as the kid had never watched or ridden in a car with his parents before.

I know I know

yeah because real life driving is so much like video game driving

Yeah, My Subaru don't burst into flames after running down several hundred people on the sidewalk.

It's definitely the parents fault letting a 6 y.o. play GTA, they should have never exposed their child to that game. Also, WTF was the mom doing asleep when her child had to be on the school bus?

I wouldn't have gone as far as taking the children away. DCFS should have been involved though.

First Zuk, now you... I guess my topic is misleading.

I am not blaming the game. I am not saying GTA is bad, nor that it can teach kids how to drive. It is a lol topic. It is indeed a funny or at least bizarre news story...

that wasnt directed at you

my bad

i think they should shoot the parents and give the kid a job.

My biggest complaint about GTA4 was how shitty the driving physics were. I would use that in court if I were the defense attorney.

yeah they overdid it

... am I missing something here? Last time I checked you were not an asshole. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

This is making me want to play again. I still kind of think San Andreas was better though

Expansion pack should be available soon......

I just slid it in the other day to see how many people I could run over, got over 3500 in two days.

I'm not even all that interested in the expansion. Motorcycle gangs...meh.

The weirdest thing about GT4 is that is was mostly a step backwards. I miss being able to fly planes and shit not to mention the lack of annoying fucking idiots calling you all day.

Might pass on this. Something about it just doesn't look right. I wish there was a demo for it so I could try it out. I think I will stick with SF HD Remix... love it.

I played the demo and came away unimpressed, though I'm not sure if that was because of demo limitations. I didn't like how when you disabled the assists, you went to a 3rd-person view. I'd like to disable the assists and still stay in the cockpit...I had a hard time telling what the hell was in front of me out in that view. In that 2nd demo mission, there were 40 bajillion targets, and having to cycle through them to get the one I wanted was very tedious.

Once I found out you could turn off the phone, I was overjoyed.

But they really needed to tone that shit down and give you more places to go when they did call. Wouldn't have been so bad if there was a bigger variety of shows to see and things to do. Why the fuck is there only one dartboard in all of Liberty City?

Yeah, they should have added a lot more. I want to see a GTA game where you can go into every building and there is all kinds of shit to do. Imagine how awesome it could be if they ever come out with games of real cities down to the smallest details.

Yeah, when you went "online" there were all kinds of ads for shows and shops with addresses for them and everything, but you'd go there and the business was non-enterable.

Some characters (especially Ryu) look WEIRD.

The conversations alone are worth it, hearing your old fart gang president to call your ex so he can "have some hole".

Also found out that the add-ons don't carry over to GTA4. Which is lame.

....the new songs on the radio do.
