Real life GTA

2007/06/30 filed under /news

BoingBoing today posted about a guy believing he was living inside the Grand Theft Auto game.

In 2001, the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine reported that a man was imprisoned for stealing cars and assaulting people with weapons, then sent to a psychiatric facility for "acting in a bizarre manner." It turns out he thought he was playing Grand Theft Auto (the article doesn't say it was GTA, but what other game could it be?)

Being an extreme fan of GTA San Andreas, I can share this guy's weird thought pattern though. After countless of hours stealing bikes, cars, airplanes, shooting up entire gangs, I found myself walking down the street looking for nice ramps and bikes to just jump on. Luckily I can control myself, but I can see playing these kind of games for too long messes up your mind ;-)

That being said, the new GTA IV trailer has been launched and now I'm confused. Shall I buy the not-so-good Xbox 360 or the way-too-expensive PS3 ? I must have GTA IV!

I also know the feeling I've been a fan of GTA also. On a Saturday after playing several hours I had to go to the local supermarket, during my walk there I came around a corner and I so a police car. First thing in my mind was 'Shit police' just a millisecond I realized I've don nothing wrong (well not in real live).
