Childhood ambition:
My favorite movie of all time would have to be SCARFACE. It was the first movie I ever saw in a theater, I was all of maybe 6 at the time. I don't know if you are into video games but I heard on NPR that a new game based on Scarface is coming out. The guy being interviewed also talked about Grand Theft Auto. I was surprised that it was the biggest selling video game ever. He said it was actually pretty much based on Scarface, too. Universal Pictures, who made Scarface, didn't care about copyright stuff and GTA makers aren't worried about the new Scarface video, either. I don't know much about video games, but I think they were saying GTA was the first of the RPGs. Is that right? I think you can hear a lot of stuff on NPR by going to their archives--at least that's true for their interviews on Fresh Air, where Terry Gross interviewed Shawn Ryan last month. The Scarface game is comming out later this year, and it looks good. Grand Theft Auto:Vice City is loosly based on Scarface. The story isnt exactly the same but it is going from nothing to the big man in the city. Also there are many place from the movie that can be seen in the game: The inside of the Mansion is the same as in the movie and you can find the hotel that chainsaw scene went down in as well. Either way it was a game that took tons of my hours up.

Not so much anymore, my last game system was a Super Nintendo.

Hey, bf4life. Thanks for jumping in. Things have been slow around here so I only now noticed your post. The Packers had an opening at QB last year. You missed that opportunity, but the Jets have one this year.
