Allow me to preface this by saying that my idea of a good Grand Theft Auto IV session involves the slaughter of countless innocents, wave after wave of police officers and the destruction of every vehicle in Liberty City. That being said, I just had a very disturbing thought — no, scratch that, it was more of an internal discourse that happened shortly after speeding past a playground with a considerable number of police cars in hot pursuit. (In Grand Theft Auto IV, that is, not real life.) It went something like this:
“There should be children in Liberty City. Where are they?”
“Why, do you want to maim and mangle them, too?”
I had to pause for a moment to ponder that one. I mean, it’s not so much that I want to, but for the sake of realism…
Yeah, the title of this post pretty much sums it up.
