Assemblyman Yee, World Champion of Oxymorons

Gamespot reported today on yet more saber rattling from every gamer’s new favorite California State Assemblyman, Leland Yee. In a rather odd turn of events (though not altogether new in the world of politics), Mr. Yee found time to make a statement which totally contradicts itself. Brace yourself for this one, as the “logic” involved could cause whiplash. “If, in fact,

Jack Thompson is oozing again. Eww.

If it smells like cheap hairspray and hails from Florida, chances are it’s Jack Thompson. And guess what? IT IS! Straight from the beaches of Miami comes everyone’s favourite anti-gaming attorney – you know the one.

Another SA Tracker!

Just a quick update for y’all. A couple days ago we told you about a San Andreas stats uploader from The GTA Place. Another stats tracker has caught my attention recently, mostly due to it’s simplicity – you can find it here. Although it’s less detailed than the one we mentioned earlier, it still gives enough information to make it useful. To get an

PEDS: Fan-made Vice movies!

What with the recent events in the Grand Theft Auto scene going a bit, um, under the weather at the moment, it’s nice to kick back once in a while and take a break from that hectic game we call life. If you’re bored and at a loss for things to do, take a gander at PEDS. (Sorry about the run-on sentence.)

PlanetGTA Interview with Young Maylay

A couple of days ago, Jordan Liles (PlanetGrandTheftAuto) featured an interview/Q&A session with CJ voice actor Young Maylay.
