[classic swim]

I’ve never played on PC before! Anxious to see how it turns out if this laptop ever stops being a piece of shit.

If you tried doing this shit to me, I would beat the fuck out of you.

Could be a general decency thing where he doesn’t want random people wasting money on dumb performative shit. There’s also the chance that’s against Cameo’s TOS or otherwise doesn’t want video of him being brought to question later.

The way I remember it was him making a big “movement” on Twitter and then later revealing in an interview that no one actually received a raise from that stunt. And he just caved in so it was forgotten about. One of the top prestigious names in that field basically told every aspiring VA to fuck off and take the chump change. He’s why I’m less sympathetic towards that clique compared to before.

Dana told a story about doing voiceover on the floor while sick so he wouldn’t be fired. But yeah, he’s more than a legacy name today. It’s weird for me especially since my mind sometimes forgets it’s not 2003 and some weren’t introduced to him by Shake. The Brak Show wasn’t really reflective on what Brak as a character was like during Powerhouse CN or whatever. People thought Brak Show sucked when it was airing, and even Adult Swim in following years kept playing up “what was this crap?” Everyone’s changed their tune about it since. One thing about Andy getting more online attention was seeing the wide abundance of dudes who had loved Brak even before [as] existed and when C2C was barely popular in the slightest. I don’t think the character’s THAT funny to where my dick pops off in majesty, but there was a time where the show was laughably obscure and he still helped make some semblance of a name for it. There’s plenty of stuff in fairness about him on the technical side that I just don’t know or didn’t know about. I didn’t know he wrote for that Astrodog cartoon. I didn’t know he generally helped curate CN and Boomerang. It’s an odd thing because voice acting’s different all around. Billy West and John DiMaggio are rich elites in mansions. San Andreas sold literal billions and the voice of CJ’s still that homie from Compton with a mixtape. It’s hard to play up anger for Andy only because nothing’s gonna change. Everyone that made Williams Street what it is either got laid off years ago or just isn’t there. It’s not Andy, it’s not Carey, it’s not Clay, it’s not George; it’s nearly everyone they’ve hired.

I mean, it was pretty cool press like... last month. Especially with nothing else in the world worth checking for a block that stopped being relevant after its first week. But this should’ve been expected, just not as soon. They had him posting stuff from his iPhone out in the middle of no where. It was never about actually helping him with anything.

I regret yelling at Jman about it but there’s really no need for it to even have any media attention again. .38 Special can support Harris. Damon Wayans can support Harris. A mall Santa in Oregon can support Harris. Fucking anyone else at all.

ghostrek why’d you say nothing when Sammy The Bull murdered 17 people and got away with it?

Nobody needs an Always Sunny + Abbot Elementary crossover. I didn’t need to see a spot for Jigsaw in Fortnite while pumping my gas. Everything’s so fucking sanitized and commercial now 100x over and I can’t stand it.

“Bud light”

I seriously went on to share one thing and one thing only and they have this fucking dipshit rule. If your website is even more dead than here then what possible fear could you have over bots?

EPILOGUE Catalina calls! Claude’s givin’ it to her back!!! Funny how that works. Your end (and her end!) is someone else’s beginning. - - - - - - - - - - - - 20 YEARS LATER: The original Grove Street Families have long since disbanded. This all couldn’t stay green forever. The Families that DID stay to maintain the legacy... they lost sight of everything again, and again, and again. Hell, this was visible even during the prime. It got to the point where Smoke, nor C.R.A.S.H. could be fully blamed. The crack epidemic simply won. It was the undefeatable enemy of San Andreas. CJ eventually moved on, and his friendships only continued to grow stronger as a result. Varrios Los Aztecas became an international organization across San Andreas. Cesar notably felt at home in San Fierro, but even that didn’t matter too much in the long run. Just where ever Carl and Kendl would be alongside him, he’d be cool. It was ultimately Sweet’s own choice as to whether he’d let Grove Street go, or watch it crumble before his very eyes one final time. A glimmer of hope: Sweet went to Madd Dogg’s mansion without imploding. Four Dragons continues as the biggest commercial success in Las Venturas. A rival branch of Triads began operating in Los Santos. An inconspicuous Families member murdered the Los Santos Triads leader. Who knows what kind of conversation that’d unfold with Woozie over a game of dice! You could say Grove Street played both a positive, and antagonistic role in this story all at the same time. Grove Street as the cul de sac was its own main character. This story. This experience, in all its highs and lows... will always be there for you to cherish and to remember fondly. Nothing lasts forever. But memories are always what you make of it. This is your story. This is your map. This is your game that will only continue to be alive. You’re the King of Los Santos. But at what cost? At what cost?

END OF THE LINE “Look, I know you down for this. But I gotta go in there alone.” “What?” ”Smoke played me. Tenpenny played me.” “They played us all.” ”Yeah, but you right. I was a buster when my family needed me the most. Hey, I let Brian die, man. This one for him! For moms... and for you, bro.” ”Grove Street, baby.” ”Yeah. For the Grove, baby.” You used militant force to make your way in Big Smoke’s Crack Palace. Your past enemies just waiting for you there. Ballas, Vagos... Russian Mob... Even San Fierro Rifa was hired for protection. You sprayed bullets all the way to the top. You made it to Smoke. Chump ass motherfucker all drugged up playing video games. “Man, fuck Tenpenny, and fuck his Polish lapdog, and FUCK the police, man. All that’s old shit. Look at you, you got the whole world. I ain’t got no regrets, man.” There was no room for remorse in this game. You two fought until you won. “Why you just didn’t quit, man? We was like family, homie!” Even after everything, in your heart... this was a brother you were forced to let go. “When I’m gone, everyone gonna remember my name. BIG SMOKE!” That was it. He was just... gone. But there was no real time to grieve. “Half the city’s looking for cops to kill, Carl. And I ain’t about to get dragged out of a patrol car and get beat to death by some angry mob.” Tenpenny had new C.R.A.S.H. recruits outside. No hint of shame with wanting to repeat the exact same mistakes. He was there to ice Smoke himself just for the damn drug money. He thought he could finish you off... “CARL, YOU MOTHERFUCKIN’ PIECE OF SHIT GANGBANGIN’ COCKSUCKER!” “Tenpenny, you motherfuckin’ piece of shit!” You couldn’t lose Sweet again. You had to chase after that firetruck all across each hood. Once you got your brother back and behind the wheel, all bets were off. It was time to waste this fucking pig. Ballas and Vagos throwing Molotov cocktails on the streets where you ride. But it wasn’t complete despair. GSF were protecting from the sidelines! “Down in flames. DOWN IN FLAMES!” “Assholes. You never understood what I did! Fifty of me, and this town would be okay. I took the trash out, I DID! And I’d do it all again...” There was no need to put a bullet in him. Succumbed to a tragic traffic incident. “See you around... officer.” Tenpenny laid there dead. His heart gave out precisely where the heart of Grove Street was thriving. The hood he thought he could take down surpassed him. You celebrate at home while the homeless mutilate Tenpenny’s corpse. While tensions were still up, Madd Dogg stopped by just to say you just got your first GOLD RECORD! You were all going on tour! But, hey! The night was still young! After everything... What you desired in that moment... “I’m finna hit the block! See what’s happening!”

LOS DESPERADOS Cesar’s helped you all throughout your journey. Now was the time you finally helped him out. With the city already in complete mayhem, this was the chance for Aztecas to take back their turf from the Vagos. In the midst of all this carnage, Cesar did have some good news... He’s wanting to marry Kendl! Before, you would’ve twisted his arm off over this shit. Now, he’s got your full blessing. ... Grove Street Families and Varrios Los Aztecas. Banding together to take down the Vagos. Cesar’s neighborhood was at long last restored! Sweet calls. He’s got some good info on what’s next to follow. Where it’s standing currently, you fucking rule LS. Smoke, Ballas and Vagos are all hiding out down in East Flores. You knew this was gonna be big. You had to prepare yourself for the absolute worst. Why, you might just stop by Toreno’s for some heavy artillery! But, when you were ready... - - - - - - - - - - - - END OF THE LINE “Aye, SWEET! It’s time for Smoke.” “Johnson brothers are gonna take that fat fool down.”

THE ‘92 RIOTS You, your family and friends. All gathered at Madd Dogg’s to check the verdict on Tenpenny’s trial. You sat there, knowing you’ve wiped out every last bit of evidence that would incriminate Tenpenny. The remains of Pulaski and Hernandez on that note were never found... And with that: Frank Tenpenny was found not guilty. The people of Los Santos immediately took rioting to the streets. Dudes fighting. Cars on fire... Streets burning from a distance everywhere you looked. Shit was real fucked up. Wasn’t much you could do at this point.

You got Grove Street back where it needed to be. You and Sweet still weren’t seeing eye to eye on what you’ve done, or what’s important... But, you’d still be doing all the heavy lifting. The two of you (mainly, you) spent the next few days going heavy on Smoke’s known corners. You’ve had much more experience compared to the first time around. Ballas and Vagos getting cleared left and right! Dumpin’ on ANY muthaphucka with a Tec-9!

It wasn’t until you caught Sweet nearly lighting up a pipe that you both had a major breakthrough. You COULD NOT let Smoke win after this. “The day is comin’ when the Johnson family will be at the top. And it’s coming real soon.” You took back Glen Park for the GSF yet again, and finally taught that bitch ass B Dup a lesson. In the process, your homie Big Bear was finally free from the torment of the rock. Big Bear offered his help back on Grove Street just like you wanted way back when... You and your brother made the heartfelt decision to check your childhood friend into rehab. To get the Big Bear back!

After a few minutes of blowing up enemy boats with a stolen hydra, you’ve decided you had enough with the favors. But then... the phone. Toreno, being a man of his word... got Sweet released from prison on good behavior. Your last job for Toreno? Picking up your brother. You couldn’t have been happier. Like everything you’ve done really paid off in ways you’d never imagine in a million years. Fierro! Venturas! Vinewood Hills! You were ready and willing to share every last bit of the good life with your brother. And you know what? Sweet resented that shit immediately. Your brother doesn’t have the same things you have. But your brother’s also lost the same things you’ve lost. The hood is your brother’s only achievement. The hood was his one beacon of pride. The only thing that could ever truly make sense to him. For reasons beyond your control... It was time to go home. You knew for yourself nothing was here. But this was what Sweet insisted on. You knew you didn’t have to do this. But maybe this was good. Doesn’t hurt to not forget where you came from. Either way, you took the Grove back from the Ballas.

You’ve hired Kent, Maccer, and even Rosenberg to assist you with your new talent. Out of the blue, your favorite federal agent swooped in for a favor. What did Mike Toreno have planned for you this time? Oh... right.

The Final Chapter: As the Four Dragons Casino became the hottest spot in Venturas; Madd Dogg’s fully recovered, and was ready to make a killing with you back in Los Santos. Just one problem... Vagos yay dealer Big Poppa has taken over Madd Dogg’s crib. Ain’t nothin’ but a thing and a chicken wing. You had that fool runnin’! Now was time to drop some real Dogg shit on yo whack ass! To make things better, you and Madd Dogg even went to confront suck ass perpetrator Loc! Was back to Burger Shot for awhile with Mr. OG. - - - - - - - - - Strategy Tip • Never ever ever ever EVER save at Dogg’s mansion unless you want your save file to suddenly never have basketball available again.
