Sox, no, I hadn't caught that article. I skimmed it just now because I think I may have overdosed on reviews in the last 24 hours. Was there something specific about it that stood out that I missed?
One of the things in GTA that I'm really looking forward to is the new rag-doll physics engine. It handles everything from accurately slumping a character's shoulders or making them lean correctly when they climb a steep hill, to being spun by bullets and flailing appropriately when falling from a great height/ being thrown from a moving vehicle.
Have I ever mentioned that violent video games make me laugh uproariously? I really have no idea why, but anyone who's played me in Halo can probably tell you it's true.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

See, that didn't bother me. The clown make-up was a little disconcerting, though.

IOFreelancingN, the company responsible for the hell project asked me if I'd be interested in more work in July. ND would be so proud; I quoted them a price 70% higher than the last project. They appear to be considering it so I guess my work made an impression.
