  • In Saints Row 2, there is a pirate radio station called "99.0 The Underground" and is hosted by DJ Ken. Unlike the games other radio stations, the signal strength for this station varies across the city of Stilwater, often dropping in volume when driving around and making the station impossible to access in some areas (such as Round Square Shopping Mall). Due to the dropouts it is possible to narrow down the area it is being transmitted. It is trasmitted via the lower radio tower on Mount Claffin. The station plays indie rock music. Despite being a pirate radio station, it also plays in-game Newscasts.
  • In Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, one of the four radio stations is called "Pirate Radio", because two pirate characters in the series were the "DJ's".

Famous quotes related to video games:

    I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.
    Marie Winn (20th century)
