After becoming obsessed with all things Rockstar earlier this year, I started working on 3 videos about the developer. An Iceberg, an Easter egg video, and another that I won't talk about just yet. I haven't put so much work into a video like this, and it's about something I'm passionate about so it was a lot of fun to make. I really hope you guys like it too! Thanks for watching!

*This is the 2nd of 3 videos I plan to make about Rockstar Games.* I started to develop a bit of an obsession with Rockstar earlier this year, so working on this was a ton of fun. I haven't put so much work into a video like it before, and it's been nice to work on something I'm passionate about. I hope you guys enjoy it, and thanks for watching!

Max Payne 3 was fantastic. That game holds a special place in my heart. The tone of the game, the music, the art style, it was brilliant.

[@turbo_plasma]

Same here bro. Completed the 1st and 2nd part when i was a child and always thought of completing the 3rd part but my pc at that time could not support it. But, finally when i got a laptop in my engineering days i played and completed MAX PAYNE 3. It was a great feeling to see such a good end of MAX. (though my laptop had only integrated graphics, hence i had to play in low settings with around 30fps or low)

Fun Fact: The secret alley in GTA III reappears in GTA Liberty City Stories. In the PSP version, the wall reads "Hello again!" while in the PS2 port it reads "You just can't get enough of this alley, can you?" No, no we can't.

I’ve been following your channel since middle school and I’m about to start a degree this year, and in these 8 years your content has only gone upwards quality wise. What made your channel so special when I was a little kid still remains and it’s that love you got for secrets and the time and effort you put in these videos. Much love and keep up with these!

[@apparentapplepie8047]

The most interesting and personal parts of games in my opinion, when the developers decide to leave their own little marks in the back corners of the art they’ve created. Maybe it’s a reference to pop culture or an inside joke the creators can think back on and laugh about. Easter eggs add another level of flavor and life to already magnificent pieces of work. for dedicating yourself to sharing these wonders with us, I must thank you Senior Guru.
