    Alright for this one I forgot to record the commentary again, but it was Klyka's idea that we read these this time. I'm sorry. See the bottom of this post if you want a link to watch it without commentary.

    Part 61 - Tommy Vercetti Keeps Strange Company [Blip.tv] [Viddler]

    So to make up for it, here's the final video.

    Part 62 - The End [Blip.tv] [Viddler]

    And that is it for us. Thanks for keeping up if you did. Was a long journey, but it was fun. Thanks again to the commentators. What's next for me? Nothing really. Maybe I'll LP something else eventually but I have no plans at the moment. Maybe I'll do the Episodes though if that happens it won't be anytime soon.

    Credits if you care. [Viddler] They're 20 minutes long, literally. There's no commentary, though there is a phone call after the end from Roman. Here it is transcribed so you don't have to go to the video for it:
    Niko narration: So this... is what the dream feels like. This is the victory we longed for...


    Cell Call:

    Roman: Hey Niko, are you okay?
    Niko: Yeah, I'm fine. How's married life?
    Roman: It's okay. It's hard to be happy when your wedding goes the way ours did. Kate's death was very unfortunate. Niko, don't blame yourself.
    Niko: There's no one else to blame, Roman, because I refused to do that deal for Pegorino. It's my fault because I got close to her. I shouldn't get close to anyone.
    Roman: You should, Niko. Stay close to Mallorie and me. We're your family. Mallorie is pregnant. If it's a girl, we'll call it Kate.
    Niko: Congratulations, Roman. You'll make a good father. See you soon.

    And here is a bonus video of me just messing around for half an hour also without commentary, if you're interested: Niko's Fun Time Super Happy Hour [Viddler]

    If you wish to watch any of the videos without commentary for some reason (like the fanfiction episodes perhaps), you can go to this account: http://www.viddler.com/explore/Adus/videos/

    Oh, you guys... it's amazing how funny fan fiction gets if someone reads it out to you. Definitely better than having to deal with the nonexistent punctuation and bad spelling by yourself...

    Just a quick note, while I'm watching Part 62: The chase is actually not THAT bad, because Pegorino's men aren't really fast. The chase is just designed in a way that makes them seem fast.
    See, as soon as you catch up with their car, their car will just accellerate in a way it usually isn't able to, because the whole thing is scripted. I mean, you could basically drive like 30 miles an hour, and Peg's men still wouldn't get away. Try it out.

    Failing the Pegorino chase later wasn't your fault; the bike part was triggered too early (usually you are supposed to kill all the dudes first and THEN the game would tell you to get on the bike).

    ..... *sigh*.....
    25:03
    This is where my game is broken. It tells you to "repeatedly tap space". I do it, and all it does is change the camera angle for as long as the spacebar is pressed. Niko doesn't climb into the choppper. And yes, I am using the default controls. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU--

    Bonus video, 27:16 or so... what the hell exploded there?!

    I liked November Rain being played in the cab on the way to the final confrontation. Yes, I know that was the custom channel, but it was still nice. Was that deliberate on your part, Adus? Did you delete all the other music in the folder for that scene?

    Nothing in this LP was ever deliberate.

    Val: The explosion was from a red explosive can just sitting there for no reason. I would not be surprised if they put it there on purpose for oblivious jumpers.

    edit: Link to the bonus video now goes to the right video and no longer goes to the credits.

    Did...did the designers record extra dialogue for when you're driving crazy while drunk?

    Okay, I'm gettin' this game, fuck the bugs and quirks and shit.

    Thanks to everyone who worked on the LP, especially you, Adus.

    Episode 14 appears to be broken, it's just the same video as some previous episode (possibly 4?).

    Weird. In my folder both episode 3 and 14 are the same for some reason. I have no idea how that happened.

    This one still works so use it for now: http://www.viddler.com/explore/AdusofPA/videos/14/

    This was a great LP. All the random elements were often quite unexpected and quite hilarious. Plus, the commentating was great also. Good job guys!

    Great series, Adus.

    I think watching your LP might've been more fun than playing the game myself. A lot more funny stuff happened to your Niko than ever happened to mine. =)

    Yo Adus, you should redo the LP. Only this time, do this:

    Yeah that's a good one. I've had a really hard time getting that in-game movie maker working correctly, otherwise I probably would have made a lot of short videos.

    Anyway, with any luck, Episodes from Liberty City LP should be starting soon. I'll probably make a new thread for it, though. I'll post a link in this one when it happens.

    EFLC fixes a lot of problems I personally had with GTAIV like a much better checkpoint system and less emphasis on man dates and relationships. It's really great how the story interweaves with the original game too.

    I think you'll dig it a lot more than the original game, and I'm looking forward to your LP, as always. :)
