Yeah, I figured this would be about somebody getting pulled over in their R108.

I have two questons about this SL game. The last game I played that looked kind of like this was GTA.

So can I get a gun or other weapons? If so good guns? RPG?, M16, MP5, AK47, G3, body armour? C4?

With said weapon can I jack cars and kill people at will? How do I get money? Can I steal it from places? Any good cars to jack?



I don't see the point in playing computer games where I cannot shoot things.

Agreed

A friend plays it.

My first question was "Can I stick people up?"
"No"
"Can I go into virtual stores and like shoot the place up and rob them?"
"No"
"Can I merc virtual cops and get virtual tear tatoos under my eyes to signify my status as a 'cop killa'"
"Ughhhh NO!"
"Alright fine...can I at least be a con artist...like tell someone I am selling them something and just jet. Can I make up scams?"
"No"
"Then WTF would I play this game?!!? I can do all that **** in REAL LIFE"

Christ! can't a fellow sit in front of his woodstove,play his banjo and trumpet,read his books by Aladdin lamps and not worry about some Goddam cartoons?

Me too, I thought Ernesto had finally got that 230SL in his avatar.

LOL An advertisement for JAMS on there. Where all the retired Superior Judges like to go, and make more money for themselves.

So sexy.
