Yes, it is.

Here's another good game for you, Vagrant Story. You really have to think about the combat. although I've heard that people who like Final fantasy aren't so keen on it.

I`ve never been into those games, as I far prefer gun crime to knife crime.

Keeping this topical, just how long do you think it will be, before violent gangs are roaming the streets of say sleepy Swindon, like they do in Los Angeles?

It has 5 little ones that you drive around the wrong way to get onto the big 1 in the middle.

Definitely wouldn't class Milton Keynes as a "hell hole". It's got some rough areas like everywhere else but there's a lot worse places I can think of.

Ah the Swindon Magic roundabout; those who've driven it many a time will be familiar with the concept of pick an exit an go for it. I've driven the Hemel Hempstead one many a time as well (in case your wondering I'm an ex-company car driver) and that one's fun in the rush hour. Maybe it's time for a classic roundabout drivers' club in the same vein as classic car owners club- the Milton Keynes Roundabout Appreciation Society?

On the subject of roaming gangs in Swindon, I'm thinking there may already be some but perhaps they don't quite have the headline grabbing attention of the Hell's Angels.

I think it's less likely there because pressure of space means you cannot have so many 'no-go zones' as here, where people who can afford to just move away from the trouble spots and don't worry too much about people killing eachother there. I also think there would be more public indignation about gang warfare in Swindon.

Did you check out my Vagrant Story edit above?

Oh my goodness I think I'd have a panic attack if I had to negotiate that.
Must strike MK and Swindon off my list of places to go, or rather add them to the "places to avoid list"[/QUOTE]

When I first arrived in LA and was a bit nervous about the driving I went out on a driving lesson. It was a bit of a joke, 'cos actually I was fine so it turned out to be a 1 hour chat with the instructer instead.

When I said MK was built on a grid system but with roundabouts at each junction, he said 'whats a roundabout?':lol:

I have come acoss one in a car park near where I live, I love watching people panic when they get to it, go the wrong way around it, do a u turn so not to have to do it, I even saw someone drive straight across it:eek:

Hell's Angels would be the least of your worries in parts of LA.

They put some in near us, completely pointless as no-one understood them and they've had to add 4 stop signs to each one :lol:

Vagrant Story this is really old and somewhat forgotten, I do remember it as I used to have it, saying that though, I could never really get into it.

Spain`s pretty popular with Hells Angels and there is a town in Almeria province that they congregate to.

The LA gangs are sad territorial organizations.
