Bunk has launched a little something they like to call "Grand
Thieves Audio":
"'On Bunk, we've published the beta of the "Grand Thieves Audio" project. These MP3s constitute our attempt to carjack
the audio on "GTA: Vice City." These audio files attempt to recontextualize the playing experience along subversive
avenues. The idea is to create the illusion of new (subversive) nonplayer characters in the game through the
audio.'
These modologues combine the audio dubbing of machinima with the infiltration of game mods (since sticking them in
your MP3 folder does not alter the code of the game). Unlike Machinima, which dub sound tracks over edited clips of
game play and turn the player into a spectator, these monologues, or "modologues," let the user play in a different
narrative context."
