As an American correctional officer, I enjoy learning new insults and cursing from other countries to use on my inmates. It's hilarious at times. I even had one ask, "What did you just say?" To which I could only tell him, "I have no clue, mate." and walked away.

@@genericwhitekidthesecond4330 I mean back when the first discussing STH video released, the hunters came off as an uncoordinated mess. Things have evolved a lot, both sides are far more competent now.
It was frustrating to see him aimlessly wander until the freaked out AI practically herded him towards the storm drain and he still didn't go for the train....
STH is my favorite thing they do for sure, but I love their Wreckfest tournaments too because I found this channel searching TH-cam for Wreckfest gameplay videos before I bought that game a few years ago, their Beamng multiplayer videos are a close third for favorite Failrace content, both Stop the Beast and Race the Flood
1:00:16 the way they pulled up in front of him was so cinematic. It's like that part in the movie where the villain's like, "Yeah, you know what time it is."
90:00 FINALLY, it's been 61 episodes and I've been internally screaming at Alex every time he wants to go straight on a two or more lane road and yet chooses to stick to the right lane which then causes the npc's to give him away at every turn he has to stop at, let's hope he remembers this little (obvious) trick for the future. XD
I love how people don't use their brain and realize that Alex can't hear you when screaming at the screen. You're probably the type of person who scream at people while they're sleeping.
I really cannot wait to see the discuss the hunt for this months episode. I want to know what the hell the hunters were doing for that last 20 minutes of the video.
How many people cringed when he made that right turn precisely back into where he'd just escaped? I thought he'd gotten away until he turned over that bridge. I don't think he did it to make the ending more exciting, but I guess it worked.
Idea: The amount of Priuses you explode results in a "reward" that you have to use to escape. For example, 0 Prius: You have to escape on foot 1 Prius: Escape on a BMX 2: Go for a swim 3: Boat 4: Helicopter 5: Wheelie out of the city on your brand new bike!
I am so addicted to STH. Partially because I lived in LA for a few years and not only recognize the landmarks but also many other places. Granted the scale is a bit off the detail overall is amazing. And the content always has an element of suspense while being funny. Epic.
Two ideas. Adding killing at least three of the hunters to also blowing up the pre's. Doing a mythbusters type short on things you state during episodes. "Damage syncing, traffic lights syncing, AI vs human car noises being louder, etc."

_"Tonight, FailRace has another chaotic Survive the Hunt, with some unusual plans:_ _"What to do to derail a hunter's plan to create an ambush._ _"How long must you wait before you can kill Blakey on a bike."_ _"And how to survive, when a hunter goes on a mad war."_ A great and very fun StH as always. Loved it! I really enjoyed Alex scaring the hunters away with his version of Chicken, but with machine guns. But I love the finish, when the hunters inadvertantly allowed Alex to escape by helicopter! 🤣
They're already not allowed to have cars or upgrades that give them any sort of advantage, only cosmetic upgrades. The only difference the hunters using only stock NPC vehicles would make is that it would make them _slightly_ harder to spot, but only for a second, as their erratic driving would give them away almost immediately.
STH is the reason I am looking forward to a new month. This is far more entertaining than any TV show. Whatever the time of the video, it always zips past like Alex during a "blinding speed chase".😊
Hills Roadblocks come in two flavors Effective: wedged trailer on a curve Ineffective: Blakey on a bike in ?Bunny? mask. LVP: Blakey on a bike. bunny hopped within pixels on the beach. Failed to stop a car with a bunny hopping bike.
You had me screaming at my screen from 50:00 on. From the moment you put that car in there this was chaos and panic decisions and very little consideration for cover. AHHHH!!! You could have used a train! Are car exits aloud? You were so close to a highway ramp that would have secured your exit if so! Ahhhh! I loved the ending that happened but you are giving us all anxiety!
@@P747 Truly. I love these videos, Alex is a fantastic driver in the chases but some of these split second decisions drive me nuts... Alex should maybe take a week to really truly learn the map, they get lost way too often lol
All a hunter has to do is enable the map from the settings, and how would anyone know? Some people like playing from the DM's perspective, even at the expense of the fun. I remember seeing it a couple times in the past w/ STH and I genuinely thought it was so unfair
@@colinjones2205 Oh that 100% happens. It works on a trust system, and I'm sure most of them are trustworthy enough to not enable the map, but then you sometimes have moments where many commenters see something as majorly suspect. With FiveM, they could truly disable all the UI and maps to make it super fair, but unfortunately some of the crew are console only players.
I cannot wait for the next episode of Discuss the Hunt, so many near misses and obliviousness from the hunters this time around. Loved the war reporting while on foot.
Just a small matter of timezones to contend with; scheduling, and latency. That and the fact that Matto plays on PC, though he did buy an Xbox specifically for that purpose.
I would love to see a Survive the Hunt with some sort of theft spree in the convenience stores. Like some sort of 24 hour shoplifting spree whilst being hunted down.
there’s not a single series of youtube videos i come back to this frequently, favourite thing about a new month is a new survive the hunt, keep it up alex, not looking forward to the day sth ends
This is definitely one of those failrace survive the hunts where we need to see the hunters perspective to see what the hell they were getting up to while you were in the alley.
A slow start but once the first car chase happened it was choas and once the chaos happened at the end it scared Alex very much, but it's still nice to hear the dread and fear in Alex's voice from the first prius
A trick for rolling down a broken window (in my experience) is to look to the drivers side door while flipping the bird then looking in down so left then down. That will make the player’s arm hit the broken glass and it will disappear. I remember that working 100% of the time
The ending on foot had me scared.😂😂 Then the helicopter bit, I knew you were busted, but no, you made it. Then I thought you were going down in the copter, but NO. NEW SUBSCRIBER AND a 🛀 and a 💆
Survive the Hunt, but one of the hunters is a secret mole whose job is to help Alex win. They can disrupt chases and give false information until the hunters figure out who the mole is and kill them.
first time i've got to see one new, just discovered this series recently and I love it! any chance of collabing with Sonny Evans? also how about a tier list of vehicles in sth?
You really should have dumped the black Fuselade in the ocean after blowing the second Prii, leaving it there next to the Prii gave away the fact that you might not have used a car to escape the area

Alex (and I) did not see that at all! Tunnel vision! 😅
I absolutely LOVE that Blakey showed up on a bike. It's such a comedic effect.
He did so also at last episode. And even died the same way by getting plowed over by Alex.
Maybe the bike is the next iconic part of Surive the Hunt.

STH is the reason why I subscribed to FailRace
STH is the best GTA content on TH-cam
The mystery of just what the HELL was going on in that warzone just made the whole final act so much more intense.
At this point STH needs to be made into a movie. Each one has such hilarious, or cinematic, or downright epic moments. Absolutely perfect material.
Anyone else wishing he would've tried to use the train escape?
Then again we wouldn't have seen the perfectly cinematic helicopter push-start 😆
"Make it seem like a parked car"
Proceeds to park perfectly on a red zone 41:35 😂😂😂
And then runs and jumps across the road like no AI ever does.
Blakey scared me to death coming around the corner on the bike like that. 😂😅
I love how Alex doesn't even mention Ewan's Sandking flying through the air right in front of him.
Looking forward to the follow up video from the hunters’ perspective so we can find out exactly what flavors of chaos they were making!
Longbow used to record their screen during hunts, not sure why they stopped though.
Laddo, or Leathercap might
@@happyclampopperBecause it's a lot of work to do, listening and editing the party chat for YT
@@longbowxmkii Appreciate the response, and understand the reasoning.
Alex: there could be one at the carwash
All of us singing AT THE CAR WASH!!
There have been a couple of times the crew have done that when one of them mentioned the Car wash.
It's every time. @@KnightRanger38
"At the Car Wash".... And then Alex blows up the hunters
😂 'tis now tradition, and should be almost mandatory.
and any who don't like it, SMH
The proximity to the Armoured Truck was probably why Lester wasn't available at Mirror Park.
Thanks! I don't play GTA Online and I was wondering wtf was going on there.
@AR-hi1hy Yeah, you can't call the cops off when there's certain Activities occuring nearby. The Security Vans are one of them. :)

I really cannot wait to see the discuss the hunt for this months episode. I want to know what the hell the hunters were doing for that last 20 minutes of the video.
Just watching the episode now and guessing that Alex forgot to check the time and the 24 hours of game time has passed 😂

It's the most wonderful time of the month!
How many people cringed when he made that right turn precisely back into where he'd just escaped? I thought he'd gotten away until he turned over that bridge. I don't think he did it to make the ending more exciting, but I guess it worked.
I definitely facepalmed when he did that.
Not the first time he has appeared to make a decision that would make the ending more exciting. At least this time he survived it.
1:01:50 if that is a inner scream of all three of those drivers's minds that's very poetic... that was hilarious
Idea: The amount of Priuses you explode results in a "reward" that you have to use to escape.
For example,
0 Prius: You have to escape on foot
1 Prius: Escape on a BMX
2: Go for a swim

4: Helicopter
5: Wheelie out of the city on your brand new bike!

Man, I remember when the first one came out and was hooked! Been a long old time. I love that they're every month now though!

Well the video is an hour long lol.
I hope Alex tries what Harmnone is doing with “hide and seek”, you are in voice chat with the hunters and tease them.
That ending! Awesome stuff again Alex, always look forward to the 1st of the month because of this series.
You make my night every time one of these comes out. They help me fall asleep.
near the end when you ran across the drain i was like "train, train, train, train TAKE THE TRAIN!"

Good one this, loved the ending as the hunters are likely spitting feathers for helping you escape.
I really expected DarkViper to participate today, as a payback for the GTA Guesser content on his channel
Would be great see darkviper in a STH
I believe DarkViper has said it's going to happen at some point, it's just a matter of scheduling.

Cats and dogs
Estate cars
Pink pris
That'll be a very short list😂
Popped blimps
I love all the Apollo commentary today :)
Also, it may have been a bad idea to head toward the warzone, but it was entertaining! :D

Hunters going completly feral and cannibalising each other when losing their prey.😅
One day you should do a Survive the Hunt where the objective is to destroy the blimp then escape.
Better yet: Replace all the Pris with Blimps.
