At the beginning of my second sit down I started my game by going to the gym after exercising for 10 minutes I started to see some improvements on my character. I wish exercising was that easy. Anyways, On my second sit down, I decided to go on and continue with some more missions. I reached a mission where they introduced a new character called Jeffery or as he liked to be called "OG Loc". When watching the cut scene where they introduced the character I noticed something strange in the dialog that threw me off guard. The main characters were laughing at OG Loc because he had plans to attend college at the past. The context of the dialog seems to mean that it is shameful for people to attend college. Of course there is the other meaning which the main characters may think that OG Loc is not college worthy. Whatever the game actually meant, it could actually send the wrong idea for the players playing the game even though it was meant only as humor. Sometimes words are much stronger than actions and a simple dialog like this may influence young people with the wrong idea.

In my last play I decided to stop with the missions and just wander around in the city. I started by stealing my favorite vehicle in the game. The bicycle. Even though it's hard to control a bicycle at the start of the game, once you gain some skills it becomes one of the best ways to travel around the city. jumping over cars and mowing down people with machine gun . It always makes me laugh when the police start to chase a bicycle. After enjoying my bicycle run, I wanted to see how many stars I can get. The only way to gain stars is my doing crimes. The simplest crime in any GTA game is killing pedestrians . So I started to do that. The total numbers of stars I could gain is 4. Even though I lost count of how many people I killed I could not gain more than 4. The only reason I couldn't get all six stars is because the lack of weapons and the lack of money to get the weapons (lost my money playing pool). The way I felt during my whole play through can be simply be described in one word, joy. I never felt guilt or anger towards what I did. The game is meant to be over the top and silly and that's how I viewed the whole experience.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is one of my favorite games on the ps2. I already played through it twice now, in 2004 and when it was re-released on the Xbox Live. Anyways, I turned on the game and started playing. I'm one of the people who enjoys the missions in GTA. So I started doing them. The first mission is to meet up with CJ's brother and friends at their mom's funeral. When the Ballas come in shooting. Of course the game does not ask you to fight them. Instead you are asked to ride a bicycle and out run gang cars... To me that was the appeal of the whole game, which is being over the top doing things you are not supposed to do in real life. After that I continued with the first missions that walk you through the game rules and boundaries (which are almost extinct). The game teach you the basics , from graffiti drawing to shooting your first gun. Little emphasis on the story here. The missions in GTA Sand Andreas are usually filled with over the top humor which again is telling me that the game is meant to be taken lightly and never serious.
