GTA V Details

Q: GTA IV was based on New York City. What location should GTA 5 be based on?

Original Answer: Pyongang (good luck, Rockstar Games)

After further thought,

It should be Grand Theft Auto: Bicycle Edition

Bicycling seems to have become a popular activity these days. There now exist entire segments of population that cheer the bicycle as a more appreciable transportation method than your gas guzzling automobile.

Why not make a GTA game focusing on bikes to venerate this human behavior? Bicycle theft is nothing new - it has been happening since the BMXs of the 80s. Back then, if you had an awesome new bike, better than any of the other kids' bikes, you knew it was only a matter of time before someone would steal it. I bet a creative game designer could come up with tons of ideas to make such a game fun. The only real challenge would be for all players to virtually petition respective police departments in the real world to consider bicycle stealing a 'Grand Theft'.

old games and new games

there is an old game, called 'snake'.
users have to input faster than the competing user.
if you don't have a competitor,
the computer can assume the role.

while speed is the primary goal,
it will be found that cunning is deep,
brilliance is underhand, always working
these scenegraphs, these ... these graphics.

say you are a mother.
when you play the game,
you will not even hear
the baby crying.

say you are a father.
you will be entrapped in various ways
till this support system you've been building
begins to build on you.

say you're goldilocks or little red riding hood.
or jack and the beanstalk, or the Frog.
the porridge will be just right --
when you enter the vehicle, (after it Soberizes you)

you will already know how to drive it.
