I did it. Episode 1 was randomly recommended to me and it sounded interesting so I clicked on it. After the episode I subscribed and now I'm here, just finished the series.
My dude, I'd never properly focused on or cared about GTA speedrunning before, but your series has been something brilliant and i can't wait for more of these to pop in my sub feed, even for the games i haven't played.
This was a great series dude, as someone who pays little attention to speedrunning, I found myself binge watching these just cause of how well made and informational they were. Cant wait for GTA SA and other games!
lol yeah RDR1 maybe. I will not be speedrunning (or CvS) Red Dead Redemption 2; it is a 14 hour run, there's not much room for interesting timesaving strategies compared to casual play - the game is mostly on rails and full of cutscenes, and the game is not out on PC yet.
Just finished watching the entire series and i've got to say: holy fucking shit. Seriously your videos are so good and your humor is straight up perfect. Looking forward to watch a lot more of your videos and watching you grow! Wish you the best of luck T.
Man, every time you bring up the spaceship parts, it brings back the depression I felt after spending an entire day finding every part, delivering them, being ecstatic about finally getting a new vehicle. Then ten seconds later I'd make a jump and flip the car upside down, having it immediately explode and kill me, essentially making my 4-5 hours of work absolutely pointless.
saw some of your runs on twitch. you were so close before your computor died. Good luck youll get WR soon. been watching the series since episode 1 Also I'm with you on save warping. save that for any%nms but not classic.
This was a joy to watch and I hope more speedrun focused content creators take note and create more series' like this of the games they run. I'm looking forward to your CvS: San Andreas videos!
Episode 1 showed up in my recommended feed back when it first came out. This has been the first complete series of something on youtube ive watched for a long time. Its genuinely interesting to see what makes speedrunning so fast. I would love to speedrun games but i would definitely not be good at that. Until then i found a speedrunner that i enjoy watching. Keep up the good work man and ill catch ya in the next video!

Really loved this series/season! It has been one of my favourite series in TH-cam for some time, and I'm not even a speedrunner or even that much into speedrunning. Thanks for making this, it's been nice to watch!
i will never try speedrunning but i enjoy these videos just because of how well and calmly you describe things, one of the best series on youtube, it will be missed

Perfect song to use at the end. Thank you for making this series, it was alot of fun to watch. I was thinking of replaying GTA 5's story, now I think I'll be able to do it I little bit faster thanks to this series. I really cant wait to see what games you'll do next
Hey Baron, grats on completing this little series. You had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and actually inspired me to play this game again some time.
This was very enjoyable and entertaining. It makes me want to learn speed running to do videos like these for people. It is one thing to just speed run a game, but another to show the differences. Good job and cannot wait to see more.
you deserve so many more subs and views for the time and effort you put into making these video. Super interesting and very informative too casuals. Amazing video my man keep up the good work!
Thank you, Baron, for this fantastic series! Not only is it quality content but it also meant I discovered an awesome youtuber and streamer. So yeah, looking forward to GTA SA casual vs speed run - hopefully I'll manage to catch a livestream again soon :) stay hydrated! !water :) p.s LOLOLOL THE VAN AT THE END! I remember being there in live time for that one.
I love seeing really low LOD versions of complex environments. Something about it is just exciting, like getting out of the map for the first time in your favorite game
The first episode of this series was, by far, the best thing TH-cam has ever recommended to me in the past few years Congrats on finishing the series, I'm ready to see you pick the wrong house fool at Mach 5 ;)
I love your series!!!! And i kinda felt sad it ended , even if there are new episodes down the line. It kinda gave me the feeling of when i first played gta v and when i finished it for the first time. Thank you for that nostalgia trip
Such an awesome series. I wish more people did this with many other games. I would watch it non-stop. Congratulations on the series and on the world record, dude.
I really loved this series you made, i stumbled across it back in ep 2 i believe and was hooked. Am really looking foward to relive one of my childhood classic GTA:SA. And hopefuly Vice city in the no so distant future. as well as GTA:IV. Keep this series alive. Love from Argentina
Hey I really look forward to your next series, this was really a great series of videos, I'm such a hardcore fan of GTA V and you put so much extra info, the soundtrack of the game, these videos of yours are golden man, keep going, you have my sub and support as long as you keep having as much fun making those videos as I am watching them

“When Rockstar inevitably shuts down the GTA V online servers” HAH! That will never happen at the rate they’re going
Now they're doing it for Xbox and ps3
I feel like it's only the speedrunners that ever choose to kill Michael. Casual players want all 3 guys to make it out.
True, never had the heart to kill them even though it was only a game 😂😂
Or Trevor gets killed by the casual be they didn't "like" him
