the First Digital Camera

Invented in 1975 by Steven J. Sasson. It weighed 3.6 kgs, was the size of a toaster, and produced a 0.01 megapixel (100_px x 100_px ?) image that took 23 seconds to record onto a digital cassette tape.

. Stealing a parked car now involves Niko approaching the car, breaking the glass, and hotwiring it
. Heavy shooting can permanently destroy parts of the environment
. The in-game prostitutes now offer 3 “levels of service”: masturbation, fellatio or intercourse
. According to Dan Houser, “virtually none of the characters from the previous games are returning, as a lot of them are dead anyway.”

basic jist :

Trumpety sound

it has come into my possession the synopsis for the final season of Lost .

.

yep, crazy times . season 6 that is, scheduled for showing in 2010… . . . ; you know, LOST ? that show on the telly with the island ? that fucks with yer head and questions relationships because yer girl/boy friend doesn’t really give a shit ? come on . . … . . . . .

.

how the randomstupid came upon these must remain unknown, as disclosing said information would disrupt the space-time continuum; along with the physical properties of matter, and the equation that is Donald Trump’s hair; - like taking the universe fractal and sanding it down to a nice veneer finish

Claire : on her way to visiting Charlies rememberance plaque she trips and subsequently explodes

_.

Hurley : after eating the bits of Claire that he stumbled upon in LA, note: BIG explosion; Hurley gets a job as a speed hump in a car park

_.

Locke : Locke Locke Locke Locke, Locke . my word this guy just winds it up, then down, and then twists, and then punches yer in the puku . he gets his come-upance in the 4th to last episode of 2010 - man you should see it . GORY_AS !!!!!!??!?!!?!!! wow, so many questions resolved . AND HIS HEAD?!???!!!!! crazy . see that fucker split

_.

Jin : gets off the island and starts up a Korean gadget-shop in Otara … . in the penultimate episode Jin discusses how business has been better, how National hasn’t come thru on their promises to immigrants, and how the locals keep throwing perfectly good sneakers over the power-lines

_.

Sun : in the very last episode Sun goes down on Elton John via internet feed

_.

Sawyer : in the Season 6 opener Sawyer is pictured in Texas watching the eclipse; suddenly coming into shot from behind him a shadowy figure appears; then, inexplicably and completely outa the blue - he … ah … . . var verbs:Array = ["goes crazy", "shits himself", "went over there"]; else (we’re fucked);

_.

Kate : goes back to america and does stuff over at that place to that guy over there in america at that time and stuff

_.

Jack : continues being a toss-face after filming finishes

Ben : doesn’t make it to season 6 … whoopee call the woman’s mags .

_.

Desmond : Goes back to Northern Ireland and rejoins his regiment all-the-while lamenting Penny’s death . … . what ?

_.

Daniel : after a successful defence of the bridge and a hard-fought victory over his inner-turmoil, Daniel encounters the German officer he vigorously sought to have set-free earlier in the season . disgusted at his seeming betrayal of trust he shoots him in the stomach . BAM! .

_.

Sayid : In an absolutely amazing turn of events Sayid has a paradigm prolapse and renounces everything that is human; discovers that race and colour are as meaningful to life as cheap burbon; decries all faith and then screams for the love of all life and an ultimate balance; - finally ends up in a carton of bananas bound for Jakarta
