GTA Halo crossover?

My time goes almost entirely into SSP. I don't think I've ever played either

I think the cityscapes in the next Grand Theft Auto will make my model look like a child's toy by comparison.

I've never played it either, but I did watch my son play it for hours and hours on end.

Yes, it's an educational game with many wholesome life lessons, like how to run over cops, what to do when your daughter wants to enter the porn business, and the proper way to slap a ho (with your backhand, while uttering expletives)...

That was good for a laugh... I actually remember seeing stuff like that!

Back to future skylines:

Yorkville from Queen's Park

Yonge & Eglinton from the Northeast (most of the tall tower construction still has yet to take place)

Looking Northwest from Bayside

Meme Ramsey couldn't have said it any better seeing Time and Space from this unique perspective.

Yonge and Eglinton is just ridiculous This is just the start too. I don't understand why people would choose to live with such densities there but, hey, Vaughan City Centre is selling like hotcakes too.

Excellent transit at Yonge and Eglinton. But, yeah, they need to widen the sidewalks up there, the place is ridiculous.

Many of the streets at Y & E are only 2 lanes wide, aren't there any plans to build some proper infrastructure around all these new towers?

The new underground connections for the LRT and the plaza built into the base of E-Condo may take some pedestrian traffic off street level. But we will see if it is enough, for the number of people arriving.

You can't post pics of people like that blond guy without giving people a head's up. I threw up a little bit in my mouth. What a wretched 'human' being.

That's just the intersection. It's the layout of the community as well. There needs to be more connections to Eglinton between Yonge & Redpath. These are being considered as well as some retail along Roehampton but, it just doesn't feel like a complete, walkable community to put up with that kind of density. I'm glad others don't see that as I like the idea of a dense, choking but, contained skyline rising out of a lowrise landscape.

That's cool

2007 and 2017 interest me more and you just don't ever see that. It's always the future. (no need to remind me of thread's purpose) I do have one beef in regards to L tower's silhouette in 2017.

Do you mean backwards? That's the view from the west. Here it is from the east if it helps.
