Come on, the MP will kick some serious ass - a bunch of friends and just free roam and explore? I can't wait!

I found an abandoned/not finished building site yesterday, looked like the PERFECT Fight Club-setting.

I don't know if this is true or not, so could anyone confirm?

Mrs. Zelnick
Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two Chairman’s Mother
New York, New York Via e-mails to intermediaries

Re: Your Son, Strauss Zelnick

Dear Mrs. Zelnick:

Your son, as you may know (or maybe you don’t know), is Chairman of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., whose most popular video games are the Grand Theft Auto murder simulator games banned in some countries but sold to children here.

Your son last week was reported to have said the following about Grand Theft Auto IV, due to be released Tuesday, April 29:
“We’ve already received numerous [GTA IV] reviews, and to a one, they are perfect scores. My mom couldn’t write better reviews…”
Taking your son’s thought, I would encourage you either to play this game or have an adroit video gamer play it for you. Some of the latter gamers are on death row, so try to find one out in the civilian population who hasn’t killed someone yet.

What you will see in your son’s game, if this iteration of GTA is anything like its predecessors, is incredible interactive violence aimed at police officers (whom you can shoot in the head and see the blood spray), innocent bystanders (whom you can run over with your car just for the heck of it), and of course the plentiful female prostitutes you can have sex with and then filet with a knife or stomp with your feet in order to get your money back. Experts note that the recent plethora of cop killings is caused in part by your darling son’s entrepreneurial energy. There are three policemen dead in Alabama because of Grand Theft Auto. I was on 60 Minutes about it. I hope Strauss has provided you with a flat screen tv to see the grief of the bereaved families that fills the screen.

The pornography and violence that your son trafficks in is the kind of stuff that most mothers would be ashamed to see their son putting into the hands of other mothers’ children, but, hey, your son Strauss has recently assured the world that he is “a Boy Scout, everybody knows that.” I’d love to see the merit badges that Scout Troop handed out. Is there a Ted Bundy merit badge? If so, your loving son deserves one now. It should be red and green, for obvious reasons.

With Passover having just come and gone, it is appropriate to note the following from the Old Testament, Proverbs 22:6:

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Mrs. Zelnick, did you train up your son, Strauss, to make millions of dollars by pushing Mature-rated video games to children? Any kid can go right to little Strauss’ corporate web site and buy GTA IV with no age verification. Strauss is even marketing the new Grand Theft Auto IV on World Wrestling Entertainment tv shows seen by millions of kids. If you trained up Strauss to do this, then shame on you.

But maybe the explanation for your son’s corporate sociopathy is to be found in Old Testament Proverb 29:15:

“The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.”

Maybe you, Mrs. Zelnick, were so taken by your handsome son that you spared the rod and spoiled the child. That would explain why he has brought you, by the way he presently acts, “to shame.”

There’s another mother you would do well to talk to. Mrs. Crump in Alabama had a son who was a police officer. He’s now dead because a teenaged boy unwittingly trained himself to kill him on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She has a grief she carries every day that only a mother can know.There are other such mothers in the heartland of America whose inhabitants your son simply sees as commercial targets.

Your son, this very moment, is doing everything he possibly can to sell as many copies of GTA IV to teen boys in the United States, a country in which your son claims you raised him to be “a Boy Scout.” More like the Hitler Youth, I would say.
Happy Mother’s day, Mrs. Zelnick, which this year is May 11, two weeks after your son unleashes porn and violence upon other mothers’ boys. I’m sure you’re very proud.

Sincerely, Jack Thompson

It's funny how a nazi such as Mr. Thompson is talking about the Hitler youth. And quoting the bible... come on, you're a few centuries late here. Assuming this is real of course, but it most probably isn't so I guess this post is kinda useless.

on another note:
the graphical glitches definitely seem to be connected to the BenQ drives. I heard of a guy who changed his boxe's benq to a samsung m28 and afterwards the very same copy that produced texture popups on the benq ran perfectly smooth on the m28!


the strange thing is, why it only affects some/most benq drives but not all of them.. how can there possibly be any difference between two drives that are technically identical Confused

Hmm, burned at 1x at platinum DVD+R DL and 1x at arita DVD+R DL and both freeze after like 4 mins of playing. The screen just freezes and I don't get dirty disc error. I'm having a xbox platinum + benq drive.... seems like i should get some verbatim dvd's or so :X I never had any issues with platinum and arita on xbox though :/

I hope so Very Happy it's just strange for my feeling that only this game completely freezes with these discs (and i don't get dirty disc error).

My BenQ drive works like a charm! Have you tried cleaning the lens?

Yea, One thing you gotta understand is that these XBOX360 drives can be VERY picky when it comes to burned media. And by far verbatims give none to less issues for the backups. At times they can seem to cost even more then the usual DVD+R DL but there is a reason for it.

That Thompson twat has been on Rockstars case for ages. He can stick that letter up his arsehole and light it. Quoting religious text, what a fucking douche. ''There are three policemen dead in Alabama because of Grand Theft Auto.'' - where the fuck does he get off believing this shit? Idiot needs a good kick up the arse.

On a intresting note I had two guys from Take Two come into our store today asking if we were already selling the game - apparently the forums are alight with talk of early releases...

Pretty similar to this: http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/cleaning_your_dvd_drive.htm

That is a guide for the old xbox, I'm not going to search out a guide right now, that is the first i came across. It's a pretty similar process though.

Sorry for any confusion lens == laser
