interesting copypasta, for any GTA fans

Niko the Stalker

I like to stalk people.

Follow them everywhere they go. They get in a cab or car, I'll follow behind them slowly at pace equal to theirs, always 2 cars length behind them. They get a hot dog, I get a hot dog, etc.

While doing this one day I came across a couple. A dark haired man with medium length hair, and this girl who had gorgeous long blond hair.

I followed this couple for miles, from Alderney City to the bright neon lights of Star Junction, they were seemingly happy, joyful, in love with one another. The man cared for his girlfriend, and the girlfriend cared for her boyfriend.

They ate happily together, eating hot dogs, taking in the city. Always staring into each others eyes with deep glee and happiness. I had never seen so much love between two people. I cared for these two as much as they cared for each other. I would do as much as I can to make sure nothing would ever happen too them. After going ahead of them a bit and beating up hobos, walking in traffic ahead of them to make sure if a car were to come I would take it for them, and any other nuisance there could be.

Then it happened. After watching them stare at a giant ad in the Star Junction I realized something. I am alone. No one. Michelle was long gone for something I do not wish to bring up. Kiki dumped me when she found out I had been having intercourse with hookers then bash their heads in with a baseball bat to gain my money back. Carmen never called me again after our first date, mostly due to me pushing her down a set of subway stairs, then stomping her head into the steps. I never tried any other woman due to me thinking it was pointless at this point. I began to feel sad.

I thought to myself, "Why can that man not be me?" "Is he any better than me?" "Why wouldn't she think of dating me? Get some coffee, even at least TALK TOO ME?" I wanted her. I wanted this mysterious blond with the looks of an angel, and the laugh of a child. I wanted to be that man, I wanted to have what he had, to know that joy of having somebody care for your own well being. I was jealous of the man. I wanted that I could not have, that I desired for so much. The longer I watched them, the longer I wanted to become him, at any cost. I then felt remorse. Saddened of what I had become, a lonesome man stalking random pedestrians. But when the thought of this man touching her, kissing her, loving her... the thought of remorse was thrown to the back of my head as if I had never thought it.

I set forth a plan. I will kill him. Take up my new identity as him. And me and the blond will live happily together forever.

John and Sara(This is the name I have given them) hail for a taxi and enter one. This was my chance. My moment of truth was here, I could set forth and become what I craved and desired to be. I got in front of the taxi that the couple was in. I pulled the driver out of the cab and killed him in cold blood. The man stepped out, he was ready to kill me. He lusted for blood, the blood of me. I know what I had to do. I empty my shotgun in his face, the man formerly known as John is dead. He is no more, this chapter of his life has ended and mine starts. I am now who I always wanted too be. I steal the taxi and drive away with his wife/girlfriend in the back.

I had never been so happy in my life! Then...

Screaming.

She screams.

She wants out.

She doesn't want me.

She fears me, hates me, loathes me. She feels everything towards me, but still does not love me.

How could this happen? Why does she not love me? Is there something wrong with me? What could I have done?

I'm thrown into a maelstrom of feelings, mostly guilt, and hatred towards my self. But most of all sadness. She doesn't want me, those words kept ringing in my head.

I knew what I had to do. I drive her whilst her screaming like a banshee. I reach my destination. The cliff next to Mikhail Faustin's house. If you've ever seen this part of the game there are rocks and old cars that seems from the '50s, and '60s at the bottom.

I rev my engine. She screams even louder. I drive faster, faster, and faster. Her death curling scream gets louder, louder, and louder.

We fly off the edge.

Everything is then silent for a mere second. This second feels like an eternity. I know what I am doing, I feel no regret. I am also for the first time in a long time; happy.

We both plummet to bottom and die instantaneously. They will never know who killed John, or the cab driver Shafeeq. They will never find the body of Sara or Niko Bellic. The ocean mixed with gasoline fueled fire will ruin any traces of either of our pasts or future.

I then revive at a hospital and steal a Blista Compact and go bowling with Roman.

Haha, Take that PS3 owners!

Hey guys,
2K Elizabeth on the Official Mafia II forums has this to say about the Final Build of the PS3 version of Mafia II:

"Hey guys, When designing Mafia II, we optimized for each of the three different systems the game would run on to make sure the core experience was the best it could be. Because of this, there are some differences from one platform to the next. In terms of the PS3 version, I wanted to clarify a couple points you have been asking about: There will not be highly detailed grass or large pools of blood, the cloth movement is less noticeable than, for example, the PC version, and the visual fidelity in the demo is generally representative of what you’ll see in the full game.

Our aim is to make a cohesive and immersive experience and optimize the game for each platform so that it could run its best. And while there are some differences between each version, I’m sure you’ll find that the core gameplay and the heart of Mafia II remains no matter whether you play on PS3, 360, or PC."

So i just finished my Legal Studies essay for school, if you guys are interested, please read :p

1. Describe and explain four differences between the adversarial and inquisitorial systems of trail. (12 Marks).

The Australian Court system is mainly based on an adversarial court system, this system aims to provide society with peaceful ways to resolve conflicts between individuals. Courts use adjudication as their dispute settlement method. However many countries, such as Germany, use the inquisitorial system as an alternative method of dispute resolution. The crucial aim of the Adversarial system is to find winner, whilst the inquisitorial system aims to find the truth.

The role of the individual plays a crucial part over the conduct of the case in an adversarial system, whilst the role is very limited for a inquisitorial system. In the adversary trial, individuals are responsible for the preparation and presentation of a case. Parties can initiate the case, parties can decide on the facts and issues that are presented to the case. Parties can also determine when and where the trial will take place, and parties are responsible for presenting their case. In the Inquisitorial system, parties are limited to only responding to the directions of the court in presenting arguments to the court.

A significant difference is the role of the judge. In an Adversary trial, the role of the judge is mainly to umpire disputes between parties by applying the relevant law. The Judge is not involved in investigations of matters that go to trial. In an adversary trial, the collection of facts can be limited by the role of the individual plays in the preparation and presentation of evidence. In the adversary trail, the truth is ascertained from the evidence presented by both parties. On the other hand the inquisitorial system allows the judge to actively ensure that all of the facts have been collected and presented. The courts are involved in the investigation process. The judges have control over the collection of evidence as well as having the discretion to decide the admissibility of evidence. Inquisitorial judges can call witnesses and question the witnesses. Judges of the Inquisitorial system are not bound by the strict rules of evidence used in Adversary trials. When a jury is used in the adversary trail, it is the jury who make a decision as to guilt. When a jury are used in the inquisitorial system they work with the judges and also may be involved in determining the sentence.

In contrast to the adversary system, there is less reliance on strict rules of evidence and procedure in the inquisitorial system. There are extensive pre-trial procedures. Undertaken in the inquisitorial system, and sometimes the innocence of the accused will be established then, so a trial can be avoided. At trial, the emphasis is on finding the truth, so new evidence or material can be brought in by the judges at any time. There is much greater reliance on documentary evidence, whereas evidence in an adversary trial is predominantly oral. Also, witnesses in the inquisitorial are free to describe their story of evidence in their words, rather than respond to direct questioning by legal counsel. Any questioning of witnesses is undertaken by the judge(s). However, in an Adversary system, rules of evidences are concerned with proof of facts, and are there for the protection of both parties. Admissible evidence includes: oral evidence, objects and circumstantial evidence. Rules of evidences are concerned with proof of facts, and are there for the protection of both parties.

In addition, the burden of proof (party with the responsibility of proving the case) is on the party bringing the case that is either the prosecution (criminal) or plaintiff (civil) the Adversary system.

The standard of proof (extent to which case needs to be proven) should be beyond reasonable doubt (criminal) or on the balance of probability. The burden of proof for the Inquisitorial System is not significantly different from that in Australian courts. The case against the defendant must prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
