In the 3 ambulance mission, I always thought that the game intentionally heals CJ's current car so that it has more health to ram the ambulances as intended by the game. Any thoughts ? Great commentary as always Josh!
1:13:15 For the Mission "intensive care", originally the game wants you to ram all the ambulances and chase after one of them. So maybe that is the reason why your car gets healt
Panopticon was an old thought experiment for a "perfect" prison. It comes from "pan" - meaning 'all' - and "optic" - as in seeing. The idea was the cells would all be arranged in a cylinder facing inwards, with a guard tower in the middle so that the single guard could be watching any of them at any time. This would keep all of the prisoners in a state of compliance because they _could_ be being watched even though at any given time they're probably not, but they can't know that. It's also used metaphorically sometimes to describe institutions or society more broadly as being highly surveiled. I have no idea what it has to do with the place in San Andreas.
I don't think that "modern words made of Greek words" can exactly be described as a trend lol. The Rockstar guys have always been pretty well read/cultured even if the games themselves are crass, I'm sure they'd know what the word means beforehand. It's maybe just that the place has a lot of good views or something idk, it's probably not super deep.
@@Graknorke Well, The Panopticon does offer a good vista of San Fierro and like you said, it's one of a number of more advanced refrences (literature, philosophy and whatnot) in the GTA series.
The panopticon is a round prison with a guard tower in the middle so 1 guard can watch all the prisoners and the game using that word for the desert might be another way of calling it badlands.
The game bugs out sometimes when generating a new location marker for CJ where it gives either a generic "San Andreas" location (maybe because it's the default option to display for location?) or a "The Panopticon" location probably because it's near 0,0,0 in the gameworld. I find it happens most often when you are teleported to a different area either through markers, missions or respawning. I have no idea what causes it but I've just noticed it over the years. The real location for that hospital is Fort Carson.
@@ruslanametov6733 What? "San Andreas" is a "neighborhood" that represents the entire state (essentially, this neighborhood covers every other neighborhood), so if you're out at sea, the game will display "San Andreas". The Panopticon is simply a forested region in nothern Flint County, at the border with San Fierro.
1:25:13 I have a suggestion, that the game deletes the car cause you're indoors to save graphics memory, but it saves the characteristics of the car. So when you leave, it initiates a "car builder" object creation where it automatically goes like: build car(code, damage, color etc); but since cop car is (logically) an object descendant of the object "car" it has it's own builder where there's an operation of rolling a chance of the car being locked. since the devs had in mind the characteristics of any car you drove to the mission they didn't think about the "isLocked" characteristics and didn't specify it in the "car re-creation" so the cop car builder by default rolls the chance of it being locked or not
The whole series is unbelievably good for new people but the drawing elements and Josh's self-critique on his artistic skills is the cherry on the cake
I'm pretty sure the scare-o-meter goes up when preforming a left turn because if you're driving down the road normally, a left turn means turning right into oncoming traffic
Im seriously considering learning how to speedrun this game. I beat it 100% not long ago but I CANT get enough of it! Also the map just makes speedrunning it interesting as hell!
speaking of pause buffering, here's some useless trivia: turns out it actually can help you win in Inside Track if you start pause buffering when you get into first place maybe that was already known, but i was happy to discover that for myself nonetheless
That doesn't seem useless at all, a few runs need money at the start of the run and have to gather it in dumb ways. Making Inside Track consistent would be amazing! EDIT: I just tried it and it works, cool!
9:10 It is possible to steal that truck when it has that red arrow before ceasar steals it. You can drive it and all cars will fly of when u hit them, thats funny.
In regards to 1:48:38, I don't know how the game works but the more likely implementation is that the game is only checking the collisions of some pickups, every frame. The game likely has a list of every single pickup collision and then checks the first third of existing pickups on one frame, then the middle third of the existing pickups on the next frame, then the last third of the existing pickups on the next frame, and so on. This distributes the computation of pickups' collisions over multiple frames rather than just having one slower frame every three frames. If that's the case unfortunately you likely can't even count every third frame from the start of the game, even if you wanted to.
Depends on if other stuff happens on the other two(?) frames, like one frame update pickups, next do physics, next do AI but yeah I doubt it does like that. Interestingly if you did it how you mentioned then if the list changes a lot then its possible to never check certain objects (if they move up/down the list enough) but all comes down to implementation yeah. I'm not exactly sure what Rockstar did here.
2:18:02 Yes, you could have stood on the ledge. I also saw someone do a strat where you stand on the ledge, aim east with the AK-47 and walk off the ledge backwards. That makes it so CJ's stumbling animation makes him walk right into the yellow marker. Maybe I am wrong though because I haven't seen anybody doing this for a long time.
2:09:01 if you are too high, the mark doesnt register and you'll have to fly lower as can be seen over here: th-cam.com/video/iRwUWr6znIc/w-d-xo.html christera's pov, he's too high and it didnt register
1:26:50 - I doubt that you didn't already think of this, but don't you think parking the bike a little further away would do the trick? If I learned anything from watching these, it's that there's lots and lots based on zones in this game and the despawning of vehicles is too, so maybe you just parked the bike too close to the marker and should for example park it on the grass or at one of the palm trees instead?
tape_5 does what I described in the video and it works, so my only guess is that it indeed has to be the same vehicle that you drove to the factory otherwise it despawns
23:47 hmm i've got an idea, you can see there's a seasparrow in the background, would it be faster to take it instead of NRG? (i mean you would have a NRG there but as you said you took wrong bike previously)
OK this no running on certain object is totally new to me I believed you must jump over certain lines in casino to gain sprint but no you go around those flat carpeted areas wow
I think for the hijack the center of your vehicle must be close enough to the center of the truck, which is why this works weird if you have a different vehicle in a chaos mod. Its not about ceasar (passenger seat) being aligned with the truck
my weird thought process behind that was, I thought Rockstar assumed that you would always enter the Toreno's Washington (which default radio is WCTR) but that still makes no sense
Is it possible to 'pause buffer' in Black Project when you fall down to get the jetpack? Like you start pause buffering when you're about to hit the ground. Would it be the same 1/3 chance to get a pickup?
At 48:00 (or whatever) left turns scare him more because left turns are more dangerous due to having to cross the other lane of traffic. Maybe this was the line of thinking the developers used.
Here's a joke I forgot to make on part 1: Oh nooo! Josh is doing the clickbait TH-camr thumbnail thing with red lines and stuff! (This is a good kind of clickbaity thumbnail, the kind that doesn't show you things not in the video)
Finally, now I can eat my food
If you can eat yo food, while everyone else is losing theirs, you straight homie
finally now i can fall asleep comfortably
Exactly.
Amen!
Sounds good, I think I’ll have some ramen.
This is quality content man seriously. I've never been this hyped for the next part.
This is so ture. Especially the times where he goes into detail and explains how it works (in code).
yea really enjoyable to watch
"No one watches part 3"
Me: Am I a joke to you?
I'm glad to be wrong!
"Sphere, like a 3d circle" yes we know spheres Josh
I dont watch speed running, but I like the way Josh explains everything really clearly and I get to learn about game mechanics and stuff.
I've been refreshing Josh's channel everyday looking for this video. Glad to see it uploaded.
Thanks for the hq content Joshua!
A lot of us do watch all parts of these series with great interest, Josh.
In the 3 ambulance mission, I always thought that the game intentionally heals CJ's current car so that it has more health to ram the ambulances as intended by the game. Any thoughts ?
Great commentary as always Josh!
2:00:00 I love that Josh even bothered to explain how physics in our world work for 1 year olds and aliens from other universes.
oh hey. just finished watching this on twitch xD. i absolutely loved the concept, really entertaining and funny to see you explaining and drawing.
Yessss thanks Josh for taking your time to explain this run.
2 hand a half hours of the greatest content, wow Josh
1:13:15
For the Mission "intensive care", originally the game wants you to ram all the ambulances and chase after one of them. So maybe that is the reason why your car gets healt

Shart on ya Nan! What you gonna do bout it, I had Taco Bell for lunch
Ok

This series is so good!! Keep em coming

I have no idea what it has to do with the place in San Andreas.
It means a point from where you can see everything. There was a popular game called pandemonium back then, so these words were more popular too
I don't think that "modern words made of Greek words" can exactly be described as a trend lol. The Rockstar guys have always been pretty well read/cultured even if the games themselves are crass, I'm sure they'd know what the word means beforehand.

1:29:44 lewis' favourite manoeuvre to overtake redbulls since 2019
I really like the "in the olden days" stories of strats!
51:29 "detomite"
26:35 The town you respawn in is Fort Carson.
The Panopticon is that farm in the northwest corner of Red County you race Woozie through... Weird
I think it's because of the replay Josh made at the race in Panopticon
I like this series because it reminds me of TRUE 100%+
I watch part 3! I'd watch part 10 if there was one!
Thanks for the quality content, Josh! I've been enjoying every second of these videos!
Amazing videos - I love having it on and taking a glance while doing repetitive tasks.
This is my favourite GTA:SA speedrun content of all time. Second to this are your GTA:SA live-streams! Please do duping next. ♥
8:48 cesar is absolutely beating the hell out that guy
never been one for speedruns, but i am loving these post-commentary videos
Amazing series really enjoyable to watch even with the 2h+ length
Oh man, that plane crash was such bad luck, good recovery though. Looking forward to the return to LS.
Nah wasn't luck, I just made a bad decision.
Love the series and the drawings
The whole series is unbelievably good for new people but the drawing elements and Josh's self-critique on his artistic skills is the cherry on the cake
Very enjoyable content Josh
1:36:05 The scariest close call of whole speedrun
I finished the san fierro video yesterday so this timing is immaculate
babe wake up new joshimuz post commentary
I'm pretty sure the scare-o-meter goes up when preforming a left turn because if you're driving down the road normally, a left turn means turning right into oncoming traffic
but thenn why did they patch it in the mobile version tho 🤔
@@WowPlusWow because they found out it was an exploit. Or maybe it was a bug that was meant to be fixed anyway but was a minor issue at the time.
these videos are awesome. need more joshimuz commentarys
16:40 For anyone who knows how respawning by group works in Serious Sam games, it's basically that

Been waiting for this 🙌
Im seriously considering learning how to speedrun this game. I beat it 100% not long ago but I CANT get enough of it! Also the map just makes speedrunning it interesting as hell!
Hey! I watched Part 3! Granted, I spread the viewing over a few days, but I did watch it!
I would sit through this but if it were a 100% run.
This is one of my favorite games of all time and have learned a lot I didn't know.
Can't remember last time I was waiting for YT video like for this one
speaking of pause buffering, here's some useless trivia: turns out it actually can help you win in Inside Track if you start pause buffering when you get into first place
maybe that was already known, but i was happy to discover that for myself nonetheless

EDIT: I just tried it and it works, cool!
there's still some randomness with getting to the first place i guess, but once you're there you're pretty much a guaranteed winner
This is an awesome series
9:10 It is possible to steal that truck when it has that red arrow before ceasar steals it. You can drive it and all cars will fly of when u hit them, thats funny.
They use WCTR talk radio for story related news. Other stations use Weazel news for that too.
No they do not. In SA, WCTR is the ONLY news station. On other's, the DJs themselves talk about the news.
3:10 you used to split there using a button that interrupted the "enter vehicle" animation, failing the mission
Cant wait to go back from work and watch it!
i love your videos dude ♥️
why are you British
Sheesh
Watched the full 2 hours, was interesting!
Josh really likes doodling :D
If this becomes a staple I subscribe.

"This is unusual for me, I'm gonna finish a project" damn if that isn't a fat mood.
THE LONG AWAITED PART 3 IS HERE
34:20 That's why there are so few pilots in the world and training one is expensive, as you need to sacrifice two drivers to fully train a pilot
Wahooooooo I was waiting for this
2:18:02 Yes, you could have stood on the ledge. I also saw someone do a strat where you stand on the ledge, aim east with the AK-47 and walk off the ledge backwards. That makes it so CJ's stumbling animation makes him walk right into the yellow marker. Maybe I am wrong though because I haven't seen anybody doing this for a long time.
I think that's me you've seen so that... its what I normally do
At 2:09:25, based on my experience, if you fly too high, you can actually can miss the marker
Yeah, a trick I often use in this mission is to not go higher than a third/fourth of the height bar next to the radar
been waiting for the 3rd part
26:05 Fort Carson.. another unwanted location was El Quebrados 🏥
Man, when you say "airport" I always listen as "apple" hahaha
Yeeess))) thanky once again please continue
2:09:01 if you are too high, the mark doesnt register and you'll have to fly lower
as can be seen over here: th-cam.com/video/iRwUWr6znIc/w-d-xo.html christera's pov, he's too high and it didnt register
Innnttterrreessstttiiinnnggg... so perhaps it'd not a 2D distance check after all, but just a really generous 3D one 🤔
wouldn't the plane mission be faster if you got the parachute from earlier mission where you shoot the helicopters down
So good. Much knowledge
This series has been peak Joshimuz content. ten outta ten when's hundo percent
In the 3 ambulance mission, I thought it's ALLWAYS the third one, I never got it on the second ambulance
Josh: No one watches part three
Me who watched every second while have already watched in twitch: 😂😂😂😂
I understand why Leonardo DiCaprio spawned a train in his dream in Inception: he keeps looking back
Yaaaay finally! 🤩
Tnx Josh great work

Possible but I don't think that's the reason it despanws, I'd need to check what other runs do
tape_5 does what I described in the video and it works, so my only guess is that it indeed has to be the same vehicle that you drove to the factory otherwise it despawns
What tool is Josh using to draw on the screen?
Probably vlc
