Credit to the likes of GTA Series Videos, BLG, Gmanlives, TapGameplay, FuzzySlippers, UberDanger, Classic Game Room, Tactical Bacon Productions, DerPlayer, iPhantom3D, and SSoHThrough for some of the footage in this video. (Also sorry TBP I subconsciously took your “that was a big one btw” while talking about GTA III without realizing it, that’s my bad)

Thank you to the friends of mine who tolerated my raving and rambling about how this video took forever to make.

Thank you, the viewer, for watching. This is my first video on this channel, as well as the first video I’ve made in nearly 3 years, and at the time of writing, it’s the biggest to date. Those of you who watched, especially all the way through, are greatly appreciated.
