All I can say is: Grab the keys to the ROFLCOPTER, we're going to the moon.

Haha, classic. Those sirens are pretty loud and convincing, coupled with stupid robbers leads to crime fighting fantasticness.

Am I the only person who thinks the word "burglarize/se" sounds stupid and engineered? Burgle suffices just fine... Oh well.

LOL, what version of GTA?

Burglarize sounds like a Bush-ism to be honest :smile: Nice story, its good to see a play on the old "blame it for everything" news.

I for one hated that stort on the kid kills because he played a game story. But lets not get into that now.

That just sounds implausable...I mean, if they thought they were surrounded by cops why would they run out of the house? If it were true, why wouldn't that have been bigger news considering it says it happened in March? That page looks so fake, you'd think any reputable news page wouldn't have 7,000 ads on it.

Wow! And who says video games are bad for you?

All true, but I don't think you ought to underestimate the stupidity of the average bugler.

It's actually a very common word in America. If you say "burgle" you end up sounding British :biggrin:

Heh Tracer, I thought it was chiefly American.. nothing wrong with it,
I always think of ize in the comedy sense as you "purplearise"
something to turn it purple, something like that :razz:

Hard to explain, it just tickles me :smile:

Haha! Gas up the LMAOplane!

You've never seen a web site for a local news channel before, have you? :smile: It's only being mentioned because of sentencing taking place for those involved, and it just happens a gamer stumbled across it and sent it out to the bigger sites. And who publicizes good stuff about games anyway? :razz:

CNN actually does have some good game coverage. The 'reviews' are atrocious, but Chris Morris' column on CNN/Money is awesome and they give good coverage to news about things like video games helping to relax kids before surgery and stuff (which was just featured recently).

Off Topic Warning

They've actually done some pretty interesting work on using video games as pain relievers. It seems that distracting burn victims with virtual reality video games can be just as effective as morphine. Your brain can only process a certain amount of sensory input it seems, and a distraction of this sort actually makes it so the patients have a real reduction in perceived pain-level. I don't remember where I read about it though. I think it must have been Scientific American or Science News.
