Sex and violence -- it's the magic formula. Sophocles knew it, Shakespeare knew it, and it now looks like the guys over at Rockstar have heard about it, too.It turns out that San Andreas star CJ was originally supposed to get lucky with the ladies right onscreen, and not just go into the house for "coffee."
I've always thought it was a shame that game developers have to live in fear of the dreaded "adults only" rating that is the stamp of death for video game sales. Why? Because no retailer will carry your game.
The Hot Coffee Patch for the PC version of San Andreas unlocks what was already in the game... full on sex with your girlfriends, multiple positions, and even a little sex mini-game to see how well you can please your woman. That's a lot of programming work to be scrapped just because of the puritanical fear of sex in America.
And it's all so hypocritical. Let me put it simple terms: You can beat your girl to death, but you can't have consentual sex with her after a date.
Are you people crazy?

I think I've had my fill of bounceing cars in GTA
 A.To answer the question, Yes, Crazyness has to be a factor, Like katamari damacy to be for a example, to quote my Brother, "The developers had to be on crack or something" Without crazyness then we would be a blank universe of 0's and 1's, sometimes 01, but not likely, In closeing, 101110010101011101011100001101,  _____________________

Well. We all saw this coming.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/fun.games/07/11/video.game.sex.gta.ap/index.html Group: 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' sexually explicit Monday, July 11, 2005; Posted: 10:56 a.m. EDT (14:56 GMT) A media watchdog group on Friday denounced the maker of the hugely popular video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" over graphic sexual content that allegedly exists in the game and can be unlocked with an Internet download. The game's plot is already objectionable to many people: Its main character carjacks for fun and profit and picks up women along the way. But some say its content becomes sexually explicit if players download and install a modification to the game -- one of many so-called "mods" available on Web sites maintained by video game enthusiasts. "While San Andreas is already full of violent behavior and sexual themes, the pornographic sex scenes push it over the edge," said David Walsh, founder of The Minneapolis-based National Institute on the Media and the Family, which issued a "nationwide parental alert" Friday. The controversy has prompted an investigation by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, which determines the rating on every video game sold. Rockstar Games issued a statement Friday, confirming the investigation and avoiding comment on whether its programmers created the sex scenes in the first place. "We also feel confident that the investigation will uphold the original rating of the game, as the work of the mod community is beyond the scope of either publishers or the ESRB," the company said. The mod's author -- Patrick Wildenborg, 36, of Deventer, Netherlands -- told The Associated Press on Friday that his code merely unlocks content that is already included in the code of each off-the-shelf game. "If Rockstar Games denies that, then they're lying and I will be able to prove that," Wildenborg wrote in an e-mail. "My mod does not introduce anything to the game. All the content that is shown was already present on the DVD." And one more tongue-in-cheek blog entry on the subject: http://gr.bolt.com/blog.htm?q=node/48 _____________________
