We'll, at least he admits it... #GTA6
I genuinely do not understand Rockstar's marketing strategy for GRAND THEFT AUTO VI.
We're talking about arguably the biggest entertainment release of the year, one of the last genuine pieces of monoculture in an increasingly fragmented entertainment landscape. This game is going to be fucking MASSIVE, and Rockstar knows it. So why does so much of the marketing feel like we're still living in 2005?
They've done the Miami promotions, the traditional print interviews, the trailers, and even a nearly 27-minute gameplay showcase back in August. But where are the detailed gameplay breakdowns? Remember when Rockstar would put out those fantastic videos for RED DEAD REDEMPTION, MAX PAYNE 3, L.A. NOIRE, and GTA V that actually explained the systems and mechanics? I loved that shit. Show me what I'm going to be DOING in this game!
Instead, yesterday we got another 39 glossy screenshots. And look, I'm 44 years old. I don't give a shit about a bunch of carefully staged images showing how pretty the game looks. We can stream 4K video from our fucking phones, and Rockstar is still trying to impress us with screenshots? The recent gameplay leaks have arguably done more to get me excited about actually playing GTA VI than much of the official marketing.
And the frustrating part is that Rockstar knows none of this matters. They could release a JPEG of a fucking pineapple tomorrow, call it GTA VI, and the internet would lose its mind. People are planning to take time off work. The game is going to sell like crazy, and I'll be right there playing the absolute shit out of it.
But man, for a company that makes some of the most ambitious games in the world, I find this marketing approach incredibly underwhelming. I want to see how this thing actually plays, not another goddamn photo album.

Johnny Flynn as Frankie Cooper in MobLand is an absolute masterclass in deranged villainy. There's something genuinely unsettling about a character who can make your skin crawl without even raising his voice.
Frankie isn't just dangerous; he's unpredictable, deeply disturbed, and utterly chilling. Every scene he's in feels like you're watching a man who could snap at any moment, and you have absolutely no idea what he'll do next.
Show me a more deranged villain. I'll wait.
This is a hill I'm prepared to die on. 🔥

Thousands of people watched the video of the Florida jet crash and asked the same thing: where’s the plane?
Here’s why you can’t see it:
• It fell almost straight down. Unofficial flight tracking shows the Learjet dropped from over 35,000 feet nearly vertical, possibly at several hundred miles per hour.
• It shattered on impact. Planes are mostly lightweight aluminum, and hitting the ground nose-first at that speed breaks a jet into thousands of small pieces, many driven deep into the ground. That’s why there’s a crater in the road.
• The fuel fire did the rest. Jet fuel ignited instantly, burning and melting much of what was left.
• We’ve seen this before. Flight 93 in Shanksville on 9/11 left the same scene: a smoking crater with almost no recognizable wreckage.
What most people don’t know: private and charter jets don’t follow the same safety rules as commercial airlines. Airlines operate under the strictest FAA standards for pilot training, rest, and maintenance. Charter flights follow a lighter set of rules, and privately flown jets have even fewer requirements.
The NTSB will now collect every fragment to find out what happened in those final seconds. Praying for all 9 families.
Should private jets face the same safety rules as commercial airlines?
“We’re out of time.” Those may be some of the last words heard from the cockpit of the private jet that plunged into a Florida neighborhood Sunday.
Audio circulating online appears to capture the pilots of the Learjet 60 talking with air traffic control before the crash in Greenacres, Palm Beach County. The FAA says nine people were on board, flying from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas. Instead of a vacation, the jet dropped from cruising altitude almost straight down and exploded into a mobile home park just before 1 p.m. Reports say none of the nine survived. Nine families woke up expecting a trip to paradise, and tonight they’re getting the worst call of their lives. The NTSB is now trying to figure out what went so wrong, so fast.
What do you think could cause a jet to fall out of the sky that quickly?
The Tower audio is chilling, this crash was insane.
