iTz Vplus2 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 This, ladies and gentlemen, is CJ. Carl Johnson. The main protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas And this is Michael "Shagg" Washington. Mr. Washington is a model and the backup singer for well known rap group Cypress Hill. And here is a better look at both individuals together. Apparently, when Shagg took a close look at GTA: San Andreas he thought he was looking at a mirror So what did he do? Exactly! He sued GTA developer Rockstar Games for 250 MILLION DOLLARS for likeness. He thought CJ looked too much like him and even took too much from his own life's story And even though Rockstar Games did really interview him about his past as a gang member when they were developing GTA: San Andreas his case was dismissed by a California Court because "Washington has presented no evidence demonstrating that the plot or characters of GTA: San Andreas have any relevance to his life or his purported fame" So! What do we learn from this? We learn that videogame characters aren't real most of the time Surprise, Surprise And we learned that no matter who you are YOU AIN'T CJ, BABY!

Aenigmaticus Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Haha, when I was playing WoW I figured out how to change models of items shown in the game... including your character. It was local; only shown by the modified installation, not by other players unless they have the same mod. Anyways, I had an AWESOME chance of a class on 3D modelling at the same time, and of course I took it. Obviously, I took advantage and made a model of myself and imported in to WoW... I wish I still had the pictures (and the model)... good times xD! Although in this case, this one seems to be VERY close to libel against Shagg. I sure don't want to see myself in such disturbing games like GTA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
