Has anyone listened to public radio in the pc game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City? It just cracks me up. I jack a car, pull over somewhere and just listed to it. You have to have heard NPR (National Public Radio) and AM talk radio in the US to really appreicate it.

Sort of. We are talking about the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In the game you are an 80’s era gangster in Florida and you commit all sorts of heinous crimes including stealing cars. Driving along in your stolen car you can listen to a number of different “radio stations”. Now I’ll tell you some thought went into this because you have different music and talk stations complete with commercials. The commercials alone are hilarious and they all fit into the world of Vice City. Mr. Zoo, whom I mentioned earlier is a take-off on Steve Irwin (yes, that Steve Irwin) who loves animals. Literally:eek:
The stations available are:
1. Wildstyle (rap)
2. Flash FM (pop)
3. K-CHAT (talk)
4. Fever 105 ( more pop)
5. VCPR (public radio)
6. Espantoso (latin)
7. Emotion 98.3 (easy listening)
8. V-ROCK ( heavy metal)
9. WAVE 103 (new wave)
Each of the music stations has a selection of 80’s tunes to listen to, ranging from Luther Vandross to Quiet Riot. It’s just fun stuff:)

Steve Irwin wannabe???
Crikey!!!!
Why would anybody want to be a Steve Irwin?? Only a nutcase plays with crocs like he does, has pet snakes crawling all over him (and his wife – she’s nice but I think she’s bonkers, too!) and thinks that spiders are cute and worth conserving…
He has to be either a chronic tree hugger or an Aussie!!!
(or both)
PS Hope we’re talking about the same Steve Irwin?
Regards
Wombat
(definitely not a tree hugger, but definitely an Aussie)

KCHAT is just as good. I especially like Mr. Zoo the Steve Irwin wannabe. You don’t have to jack a car to listen to the stations though. Just pause the game and click on “audio”. Then you can sit and listen to stations at your leisure.
