GTA IV Public Liberty Radio

[@marhadiasak]

GTA Talk radio stations should get awards for writing alone. The satire is deep, intelligent, and biting because it's depressingly real.

[@gedaman]

Nobody does it like Rockstar Games. I have been playing Grand Theft Auto since GTA3 and I really like how they've continued to bring back different characters for the different games and include parodies of popular culture and recreate various major cities and clones of automobiles. I like how they have kept Lazlo around since GTA3 and everything else. I would like to see them bring back Fernando the love expert. A new Grand Theft Auto game where you can play as a rogue police officer would be an interesting change I would like to see them do next. I would like to see Tommy Vercetti, Carl "CJ" Johnson, Niko Bellic, and some other previous characters return in future games as well.

[@vincentvalentine9417]

11:13 "You see, the healthcare industry is failing millions of Americans. We've overregulated the insurance companies, so they can't turn a healthy profit. The net result is that millions of hardworking Americans who invested in these companies are losing money. It's a national disgrace." This js gold.

I met Bill Hader on Nantucket (at the Film Festival). He just got in his car, and I went up to the car and he lowered his window (passenger seat). I shook his hand and said "I loved you on the GTA IV radio station" and he smiled and laughed saying "Hey, thanks man" so I asked for a picture and took one real quick. He looked like he never heard anyone compliment him on GTA IV before. I figured he always hears about SNL and other movies, but for me I had to shout out GTA IV.

I remember when South Park was still being made back when sensitivity wasn't a thing, they wouldn't be able to make anymore episodes in today's world where everyone is too PC. Wait, what? Seriously though, it's just a trend to claim that everyone is "too sensitive", one that you'll immediately realize is untrue when you stop letting the internet do your thinking for you. I've seen countless posts online saying that exact same thing, and not once have I ever seen any "sensitive" people, if everyone is so sensitive nowadays, then where are they? where? where? where? where? It's just a ton of victim mentality BS, said by people acting like they're drowning in a deep sea of sensitivity, while being held up by millions of scuba diving yesmen. Besides, remember when video games were being accused of causing violence? remember the PMRC? remember when D&D was accused of promoting satanism? remember the Hays Code? remember tons of other times when people acted sensitive in the past? sensitivity has always existed, and sensitive people are just a minority that aren't even that loud. If anything, I'd say people are less sensitive, because even though those were just small groups of people as well, they were still larger scale than any recent controversy I can think of
