That sounds fun.

I ehard that in the PC versions of games like Grand Theft Auto-San Andreas, you can create or download player-made vehicles and stuff.

Very cool. Customization is what made games like BF1942 so freaking sweet.

Yes, because you can’t have white males as heroes anymore, at least in Hollywood.
