#3: Playing GTA

Grand Theft Auto is not new, but for someone who isn’t a game enthusiast, it will always be. I’ve known it for a number of years now, and yet, the missions in the game are all new to me.

So, when there’s nothing to work on, I click the application and enter a virtual world of stealing cars and accomplishing missions.

I have two versions of the game on my computer—San Andreas and Vice City. There are four (or five?) already, but I do not know where to get the other versions (perhaps somebody out there can help me?).

What I love about this game is that I can be a rogue for an hour or two. Of course I don’t want to be a bad guy in real life, I don’t want to commit sins and spend my precious life behind bars, so might as well get the experience from a game. Also, I’ve found my drive in playing this game from my love for action movies. I love doing those chasing scenes and firing guns—just in the game.

You can shoot the police when they're chasing you.

The cheat codes make the game more exciting. With a few taps on the keyboard, I can obtain items that I want to acquire. I can also be instantly rich by just typing a code.

Steal and drive fancy cars around Vice City.

You can steal police cars and do vigilante missions.

Type "J-U-M-P-J-E-T" and get this jet on San Andreas. That's my favorite, actually.

Drive around winding roads and highways and perform insane stunts--just like in actions movies.

The game’s really exciting. Just don’t steal cars and kill people in real life. What you do in the game must stay in the game.
