  • Not the economy of the 99% anyway. I worry for the future of the world with these fucking things. Countries needing money are going to allow these to be built when companies throw enough money and lobby governments. The damage they will do to the environment will be tragic. So many are going up so quickly with not a thought to how they affect the area they’re built. From what I have seen they consume massive amounts of fresh water and heat the air around them venting into the atmosphere. This is surely going to have lasting affects on the earth (if enough are built). The AI bubble is just inane, its money laundering at the grandest scale and it needs to be stopped before its too late.

One of my first memories of a cyber punk game, though at the time I wasnt even aware of the term, I was 10 years old when this released. I remember it having super smooth animation which at the time blew me away. If I recall the game was digitally hand drawn. I rage quit this one a few times, often falling to my death. It had a very Prince of Persia feels about it. I owned the European Mega Drive version. What I didnt know till recently is that the US version contains a small 16 page comic created by Marvel which has got to make it one of the rarest Marvel comics ever no? The game has some memorable levels and the music has always stuck with me. It was basically Blade Runner and the game did a great job of immersing you in it. Also a really fun game to speed run!

The funny thing about the “utterly pointless” limted edition was that it featured a CD (remember those?) of the game’s music, which struck me as odd because you could just use the game disc in the CD player I had. I guess some worked and some didn’t.

There’s likely a generation of people that think GTA didn’t exist before GTA4, its been 13 years since GTA5 and few people realise the team behind it is based in Scotland.

I will always have fond memories at GTA1. My friends and I would get to 5 stars wanted level and see how long we could last in the face of overwhelming odds. Not using the secret tank of course. Farting and burping whilst walking along was only funny for so long, but I never got tired of doing hand brake turns over pedestrians and smearing their blood across the ground.

GOURANGA!!!
