I'm absolutely addicted to golf in GTA. Terribly sad, I know.

This GTA is Grand Theft Auto, I take it..? All I hear is Tennis, Golf, you name it, but nothing about people nicking cars.

They've made it stupidly easy to nick the best cars now. You used to have to drive around the right area at exactly the right time, and you might catch a glimpse of a Porsche or a Lambourghini, now you can just drive to the Golf Club .car park and take your pick. Or you can save up your money and buy a car If that'stoo difficult. It's a nooby Gta, still brilliant though.

It's quite funny. I nick a Porshe and 30 seconds later I ditch that and nick a Ferrari!

As committed exponents of GTA, would you say that playing it might encourage someone, scraping along, on the fringes of society, to steal..? Maybe a youngster might a get moral value or two slightly skewed, or is it purely a place to unburden yourself, as in a catholic confessional, only in this case, you enjoy it..?

Semi-serious question, I think.

Well you do hear of people doing stuff in these sorts of games and doing it in the real world. I remember someone killing their friend after playing COD or something like that.

Yes, but then again it's not like these people would be normal, upstanding citizens if they hadn't played these games. Psychos will be psychos.

You think that's really true. Hard-wired for it..? Genetically pre-disposed..?

A person can't be turned from normal to murderous by a game or a film. It might not be genetic, but it'll be due to factors far deeper than that.
