He' would know. I don't live close enough to a video game store to go and buy it, and my Steam account is linked to my mom's credit card.
I'm sure you could find a way. My parents used to be the same way. I just got one of my friends to buy me a copy.
I'm not really a person who would do that anyways. But apparently, my dad wants a perfectly written(not typed) essay(I have horrible handwriting) from me explaining why I should be able to get GTA 5. Because apparently, if I want something bad enough, it makes my handwriting better.
Does he know about the kind of backlash the game has gotten? I wonder if that could've been a contributing reason for him to say no. I'm referring to how people went nuts over some of the scenarios in the game. The kind of things that has had Rockstar Games in hot water many times before, like with politicians, religious people, and maybe SJWs for example. I haven't kept up with that stuff lately.
Seen him and slipknot live last year, I couldn't hear and I had a massive headache afterwards but it was the coolest night ever
I've never played GTA, nor am I interested in the series, but since the media plays favorites sometimes, those reviews could be correct. I'm just wondering if your dad knows about some of the controversies that the GTA games flared up over the years, because there's been a handful of them. I've done my research on the topic.
Most of those were blown out of proportion, like the "Hot Coffee" mini game. It required a mod to enable, but people still made a big deal out of it. The most annoying thing about this whole issue is that I'm allowed to play, but only at friends' houses. It makes no sense!
Quite a few of the controversies (at least in the early days of rockstar) were actually created by Rockstar themselves. They knew that it would get them tonnes of free advertising and that controversy is a great way to attract teens to their games. This involved Rockstar seeding out controversial stories to the media themselves, since if you tell someone who is around 18 that they can't have something they usually want it far more. As for the games themselves, the entire GTA series is a parody of the real world. They use satire throughout the game in order to highlight social issues and hypocrisy in the real world. All of the characters are stereotypes. So for example, in GTA 4 you will see advertisements for a fashion brand called "Anorex" usually with very skinny fashion models featured in them, the name is a play on words of Anorexia in reference to how the fashion industry encourages mental disorders by promoting unrealistic body expectations. There is also the brand BurgerShot, which promotes products such as the heartstopper burger, this is a parody of the fetishisation of unhealthy food. You will also see recruitment adverts for the Liberty City Police Department, these parody the idea that police are sold a power fantasy in order to help with recruitment, resulting in police that are trigger happy and perpetually on a power trip, since the adverts attract people who maybe shouldn't be in a position of such power. I only cite GTA4 there because it is the one that I spent by far the most time with and enjoyed the most. But it is the same in all modern GTA games.
Dealer I was buying that Mustang from wanted $5000 down, as well as my trade-in. I swiftly told them to fuck off and walked away. I prefer a V6 anyway.
yay, declared war on humidity and i am winning, 39% in the UK!!! quite easily done actually, simply have as much ventilation as possible (open inside door and windows) and have high temperature, 26c at the moment! and normal humidity outside at normal temperature (21c/47%) with the heating provided by my overclocked Core i5 4690K
The humidity in my room right now is 46% at 23.6c with both windows open. Feels pretty comfortable imo, especially with a slight occasional breeze.
Welp, Guam wasn't nuked (but they did accidently set off an alarm with made the residents think there was an attack!)
