The white "thug" named Tyrone, who speaks like a stereotypical black gangster from the 90s, but since they were likely only using people from the office as the rotoscoped characters, they didn't have a person of color on staff to act the part. Separately, BOTH gangbangers call you "homes" and later, our Jake calles one of them "Homey". <br />Since this game came out about the same time, I'll just say that "Homey don't play that."Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240427925874212338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-71314556515115911172022-11-23T22:32:33.774+11:002022-11-23T22:32:33.774+11:00To me, he looks like the singer of Suicidal Tenden...To me, he looks like the singer of Suicidal TendenciesLeo Vellésnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-74846553679723946622022-11-23T09:25:20.128+11:002022-11-23T09:25:20.128+11:00Being a Jim Walls game, I was laser focused on doi...Being a Jim Walls game, I was laser focused on doing everything right lest being told off by Uncle Dimitri (he clearly has some Greek ancestry). After pulling the car over, I thought I'd radio in a 10-27 (Subject Check) to run the plates by dispatch. The game had other ideas... before I'd even retrieved IDs and spoken to both perps, I was requesting background checks on suspects Tyrone Walker and Frank Sandoval. Similar to the earlier situation where you visit the Future Wave and get popped by "Green" before knowing who Green is... the game again failed a milestone prerequisite check.<br /><br />I do look back fondly to this point of the game though, because in hindsight, this was the part I actually found borderline enjoyable (read: I wasn't yet at the point where I just wanted it to be over).PsOmAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872947040059866064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-42308726342021124432022-11-23T08:25:51.146+11:002022-11-23T08:25:51.146+11:00Oh, I wrote this after reading the first paragraph...Oh, I wrote this after reading the first paragraph only.

They only have two guys available during the day, and Doug the Cowardly Lion sure as heck isn't going to be that guy!<br />I like the white as all heck guys trying to be as ghetto as humanly possible. Perhaps their gang is a bunch of middle-class white dudes trying their hardest to be black, as white people haven't really had the name Tyrone for about 50 years by the time this takes place, and only a film buff would know who Tyrone Powers is. On the other hand, Frank isn't really a black name, so if they were making up new "ghetto" names that wouldn't track too well.<br /><br />Do children collect Pokemon cards? I was under the impression that it was just adults collecting cards these days. Couldn't tell you if that applied to baseball cards or not, but either way this seems like a thing that Walls/other writers assumed kids still do. Come to think of it he might just think Tyrone Powers is still something of a big deal...MorpheusKitamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591271981112642781noreply@blogger.com
