The point of the game is to get the most money, best wapens, all cars, melt and sell cars, crew, casino's,... and be "the most feared player of the game".
Prety simple forum game, but it's ok to do.

Infamous could best be described as 'famous for being bad'. An infamous road junction is one that is well known for being dangerous, for example.

"What does that mean, in-famous?"
"Oh, Dusty. In-famous is when you're MORE than famous. This man El Guapo, he's not just famous, he's IN-famous."

According to the prefix, infamous should be not famous. Or am I wrong?

yes you're wrong, In- at the start of a word is not always a prefix, for instance the word input does not mean the opposite of the word put.

From Ask.com:

Infamous:
Having an exceedingly bad reputation; notorious.

Alright then, I thought in- was a negative prefix like dis- mis- ir- etc.

Thank you:)

"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it infamy!"
