GTA SA - Why planes crash [WIP name]
As I mentioned in the past, the next step was to sent the script to Obbe and see if he has something to add or comment on. Well, he gave me his feedback and answered several of my questions, but as I expected he doesn't remember that much.

I am still preparing the script, but not because I was doing nothing since the last channel update, but because this video becomes more and more complex than before.
This is what the script looked like when I decided to tear it off from the video covering interesting facts and then abandoned it. Just some pages.2024-08-24 07:58:22 +0000 UTC

You saw that right, the video is almost done and I can't be more happier than that! All I have left to do is to polish some bits and it is 100% done. But there is a catch.

Sometimes you hear from me that I am waiting for a feedback from my focus group. This is a very important part in video making process for one obvious reason. I do not know everything about GTA games and this is why I show my videos to a very small group of experienced people before I release them. These people usually find typos, editing goofs and also suggest something to add. I always listen to their feedback, because it helps me a lot to polish the video.
The last vi...

GTA SA - Interesting Facts [Part 2]
There is a joke floating around my channel that if I release part 1, part 2 might not happen at all and that's true. I usually think about covering new topics rather than continuing old ones. Hard to explain. First, I have a feeling that it will be definitely watched less. Second, it is more interesting for me to investigate something ne...

Hello in 2024 there!
While I was sick
There was a time back in December when I wasn't feeling too good. A virus as my doctor said to me. While everyone was celebrating Christmas and New Year I stayed at home and had tons of free time. So I decided to look through my magazines with early GTA SA articles to refresh my memory. Previously I already had read and highlighted interesting facts, but never made some kind of a document where I stored these findings in o...

Sadly, as soon as I released the latest video, I've got a virus and wasn't doing much. As soon as I feel better I will start thinking about the next video.
Right now I have one video on my mind and it is about GTA SA. It is a minor one talking about one cut feature we managed to restore from the leaked mission sources. FH managed to restore two mission scripts commands and I managed to make the mission c...

GTA VC - PS2 Anti-piracy measures (WIP name)
This video is still in the works and we've made tons of progress.
~There are only 2 measures left for bootleggers in GTA VC on PS2.
Previously we thought that there might be more measures left in the code, but it proved to be wrong. You know what is more sad? Turns out only one of them actually do work for pirates. The second measure has a flaw in the code and thanks to th...
How is it going, guys? Today it will be a short update.
Future video
While I was thinking about the future video, Fire_Head said that he had managed to find anti-piracy measures in the PS2 version of one specific GTA game. As always out of the blue with new exclusive facts and material. This dude never stops to amuse me. If anti-piracy measures on PC were meant to make the cracking process harder, PS2 measures were there to deal with cheap bootlegs. You know, thos...
