Does no one from GB take care of their PCs and Windows so they constantly have weird pop-ups during playing games?

Take a few minutes to setup said applications so they don't produce pop-ups, cmon.

Dan “Kellen Winslow” Ryckert.

Love that Dan leaves you feeling sympathetic he doesn’t get his investment cut back one again, but then he does Dan things and you immediately mark it as fair.

I find myself hoping that they fail so the episodes can last longer. The unexpected errors end up being where the meat of the entertainment is, because otherwise it's kinda just going through the motions while the game carries you by bending its rules with generous auto-repairing.

Youse guys were in a script club and said “ATM” multiple times and Dan says nothing, he’s losing his fastball. Also Abby got box blocked by her evil twin sister on some Pac-Man Jones shit.

Dan’s hatred of Red Dead while played up to a knowingly obnoxious level is still 100% valid as someone who also beat the Epilogue out of obligation I totally feel him. Also love how quickly he turned on RDR2 from one episode to the next.

I know it couldn't be for spoiler reasons, but the "walking away from explosion" image would've made a great thumbnail.

Another great epsiode. Like others have mentioned, it's interesting when things don't go as planned and the crew has to figure things out, like in the prison break - but it's neat to see them get through things like a (mostly) well-oiled machine once in a while, too.

(Probably no real need for those spoiler tags, but whatever.)

Am I an idiot or should those flares not work underwater? Is that a thing flares can do that I'm not aware of?

@acharlie1377 Yes, underwater flares are a thing. Though, your average roadside flare won't do this.

All the tomfoolery and shenanigans is funny, but I hold a special place in my heart for them paying so little attention to the heist that by the time it's over they're all completely oblivious to what they've done and why they did it. GB Crime Crew, you are my favourite bunch of idiots.

@80poundgames: Thanks for clearing that up! I thought that would have been an uncharacteristic oversight otherwise, glad it's just me not knowing enough about flares.

It's the same site that last year had their computer restart or do-whatever at the end of the Phil interview, and they acted like it was the fault of Windows/Microsoft (there was something that happened once or twice after that as well).

To be clear - they use a computer to do their jobs, and they apparently don't bother to properly manage them or don't even know how to (and that is, of course, someone else's fault). It might help if whoever controls IT/Tech had them using the correct version (probably a corporate version as aposed to home or pro), but who knows if that would have helped.

Abby with the 'this is just like real life!' on the heist cut and Dan just awkwardly laughing and immediately cutting bait on his whole 'I take all the money' schtick is pretty fucking hilarious.

They still didn't realize that there's a much better gun in the copilot seat of the chopper :(

Clearly you two are the future IT hires for GB.

@perkotreason: Not with the night vision they're using. To be clear, the night vision in this game IS just a "green filter," and doesn't really show the lack of clarity that you get with NV. Also, the goggles they're using are terrible, because they cover both eyes. When that happens, it seriously messes with your depth perception.

People, gunshots, and other sources of heat showing up as bright white would happen if they were using thermal vision. They're two separate things.

If they were to use a scope like this, say on a weapon or when scouting an area, then the heat sources would be white.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/PAS-13

Typical night vision goggles DO make everything green. They just sure as hell don't make things THAT clear.

I felt bad for Dan getting screwed on the cut until I realized they bought him a shark card.

If anyone else has had the itch to play GTAO after watching this, but found that the main GB Crew is full, I made another. We've only got like 16 folks but you can make it one of your 5 crews to open up your player pool.

Seeing them running around in those super slow riot suits just kills me after getting stuck in one for a heist setup mission. Those things are so damn sluggish.

Nevertheless, Crime Crew continues to rule!

Had no idea this would be up today considering the colossal task it is running and setting up those E3 shows. Vinny is a true American hero.

Honestly, I can't say I blame them. Having gotten back into GTA Online with some friends thanks to this feature, those characters talk your ear off ad nauseam. I'm almost always down for listening to things in games so I know what I'm doing, but when Lester, Agent 14, etc. just DON'T STOP TALKING, I eventually have to tune them out for my own sanity.

I loved the NPC banter when GTAV came out, but being subjected to it here is rough. Maybe the campaign has better dialogue or maybe I've just outgrown the overly-satirical GTA style, but the stuff that's been featured in this series has been nearly unbearable.
