Today was my second time playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I was much better with the controller this time. I didn't realize the way to collect weapons and money was to shoot people. I wonder why that is the only way you can collect those things...at least that is the only way I have figured out to so far. At first, I was only trying to shoot people that were alone because I was not confident enough to take on multiple people, but eventually I built up to that. When I was successful with killing them all and taking their belongings, I felt surprisingly good. I wonder if people experience these feelings in games and translate them to real life. I understand that this is a game and not something acceptable in real life, but does everyone that plays?
I realized that anytime I was in a confrontation with the police, they were all white. That is a stereotype, that the main character is African American while all the police are Caucasian. However, I once again felt surprisingly good when I was successful at killing many police officers and escaping. At one point I even earned respect which could have eventually brought be to the "good" side of some gangs.
At another time, I somehow ended up in the forest and I thought I would never get out. Even with the map in the corner, it still took me several minutes to get back to the road. At one point I considered quitting that game. With everything I have learned in my first two plays, I'm hoping/anticipating a much better third time. We will see tomorrow.

Today was my first time playing this version of Grand Theft Auto. I noticed right away that the characters were stereotyped according to their race. Each character spoke in an accent/language that is accepted in their culture. I wasn't sure how to take that, especially when they began swearing. I was shocked when I heard that, not that I am against it, I just was not expecting it. The game was hard for me at first because I had to figure out the controls, but once I did, the game became addicting very quickly. I would get an adrenaline rush when I crashed the car, the cops were all around me, and I was shooting them and they were shooting me. I would be excited when I killed someone and escaped death myself. Is that a good thing? I guess it is if I want to be successful at this game. I'm excited to play again, hopefully I do better next time.
