San Andreas had 500 games in one. I would love an updated gangland war territory game with monsters attacking each area.

Honestly, I would love a game where a horribly out of shape person tried to save the world. It would be way more intense because my character will not outrun a gerbil let alone a crashing plane. I doubt that's what people talking want though.

He was actually an incredibly good guy. Videogames were a rising media that were basically one giant money Laundering front. To keep it niche they aimed at arcades and more adult themes. Kids still loved it.

The public hearing was why companies like Sega promoted themselves to kids. Sega said games like Mortal Kombat were aimed at College students.

Nintendo of America's Lawyer Howard Lincoln called that crap. He and the representative from Sega openly argued on the congressional floor. It was especially awkward because the guy from Sega used to work at Nintendo.

Sega openly promised to work with others to create a ratings system for videogames. Lieberman accepted this.

In the closed meeting the many game companies were told to stop it with the obvious money laundering and mafia tactics. Most of the companies involved wouldn't be making videogames, or sell consoles after that because of financial scrutiny.

This is how Sony was able to sneak in. They followed the ratings system, and any money Laundering involved the US military.

Lieberman fully admitted he didn't understand videogames and would call people he trusted to find out more. These were journalists and designers who had worked with him during the congressional hearing. He supported videogames against others several times.

If you want to see an awesome team character battle game check out Gunslinger Stratos for the arcade.

There is a investors board shakeup and Iger is the number one target. It doesn't matter what happens, the loser would be Disney if it didn't settle quickly.

From my source notes

Propaganda: Disney

There is a push to remove the power Bob Iger has had over Disney. This article also mentions that most of the big choices were actually made by Steve Jobs, not Iger.

There is a hard push by Disney to keep its power the way it is. They have websites and a social media blast to support it. This website represents it all

Disney has dropped and asked to settle any lawsuit between themselves and Florida or Governor DeSantis. The article calls it a Spat.

That's the trick, it's not racist. The people who want to build skyscrapers because their paycheck depends on it are saying it is.

As for Melbourne and Sydney, I know the feeling. It's why I don't mention going to highschool in Yakima to Seattle folk.

I think we've had this conversation. You live in a town just south of Bremerton. I say, and others agree, that the experience you want from Seattle can be found at the Bremerton ferry area for far cheaper. The geek arcades convince me this is true. Look up Tick Tock arcade if you want a higher end experience.

Places like Portland are all about fitting into stereotypes. You can't be anything else except what you have been stereotyped as. My sister was told she had to be trans for liking cars.

I remember a waitress in Portland who acted really over the top black. When I asked her why? Especially since the actual black population of the area didn't act that way, she said it almost felt required. That's a weird thing when you're a super small minority, you compensate by acting the most stereotypical you can.

Also, was this Tacompton?
