That’s also what Grand Theft Auto, the game, is called in Chinese. Not really sure about the “Hero” part, especially the way I play. Jenny had a sense that there might be a single English word that is a better translation for 俠盜, like what Robin Hood is, but couldn’t quite find it. I just started playing GTA3: Vice City yesterday, I’ve had it forever but never played it. I finished the first one, but didn’t search every nook and cranny. Pretty soon they have a third one coming out, so I have to be ready. Grand Theft Auto 3 … 3? (another of my favorite insanely named video games, especially when they say it in commercials: Final Fantasy Ten. TWO.)
