Maybe. Royalties from internet and video games is going to one of the issues in play if the actors go on strike later this year.Originally Posted by ChaoofNee

I hope that they don't, because I'm sure that there are plenty of people inside and outside of the guild that don't think 100,000 dollars for a year of sitting in an air conditioned studio saying bad words isn't anything to sneeze at.
That said, the guy did a pretty good job, and it's sad that he'll probably be blackballed as a whiner and have a tough time getting work despite his performance.
His issue does raise a pretty interesting debate though. He worked for a year on a game that made damn near a billion dollars right away, 100,000 really is chump change to Rockstar. I wonder if he already recorded the sound bytes for the 50 million dollar bonus content, because if not, he kind of has them by the nuts.
Drive By
It's not like they didn't know it was going to sell millions when they did it. Sounds like they got paid pretty well to me anyway.
All that money the game has made is keeping that company afloat. GTA 4 was a huge investment, don't think R* or Take 2 owes them any more than what they signed up for.

You should have acted
So apparently theres a bug in the physics of swings in the game. I've tried it, gotten it to work, but not nearly as well as this guy did. Whitefolks, I leave the rest to you.

it's definitely easy to pull off, I just spent the last hour making niko fly all over the goddamn place
that particular swingset is in a project at the dukes/broker expressway, near firefly island
You should have acted
See, I found one near there, but it was both impossible to get into with that car, and not really big enough to do what was done in that video. plus i got launched into the ferris wheel the one time i succeeded.

you actually don't even need to be in a car for it, I've done it on a bike, in a car, and on foot, you just gotta be near one of the support poles when it does its mighty crack to get flung skyward
edit: on one of my attempts I actually got shot out of my windshield, bounced off the expressway and died about a god damn foot away from the ocean
Holy shit, I'm going to go fly my car all over the god damn world.
