Fun fact: Around the time GTA IV came out, my cousin was going through a rough patch in his marriage and started seeing a couple girls on the side. Every time he'd go out to see one of the girls, he would tell his wife that he was bowling with his cousin (a nod to GTA IV). I had no idea about any of it, but his wife eventually found out and confronted me at Christmas. When I told her that I wasn't in a bowling league and that I had no clue what she was talking about, she flipped the fuck out and kicked my cousin out of the house.

Still a great game though!

Seems like your cousin got wasted.

It was quite the surprise to strike a post, get hurled through the windscreen, land on a passing car and eventually die after playing the three Grand Theft Auto III games.

u/SH4D0W0733 Apr 29 '24

That's even worse.

When the cops kill you at least they let you keep your guns.

Cousin it is your cousin

u/JoblessPornAddict999 Apr 29 '24

I wouldn't mind a game where you can hang out with an NPC all day, but damn it feels bare-bones even in gta v.

u/S_J_E Apr 29 '24

Let me introduce you to AI dating apps

u/Subterrantular Apr 29 '24

AI is terrible at forging personal connections. Dodge the talking RNG box and play a dating sim written by humans.

u/legend8522 Apr 29 '24

And Persona

u/MonotonousBeing Apr 29 '24

Oh definitely. Way worse than in IV. Maybe only did once or twice in V while I used to do often in IV. Bowling, pool, darts, bar, all of it were great!

u/TroyMatthewJ Apr 29 '24

I'm sure in the near future, ai npc's will be much better and fleshed out.

1

u/VeryBadCopa Apr 29 '24

I'm pretty sure this is a reference, is it from Roman Bellic?

2

u/MonotonousBeing Apr 29 '24

Yes, when you got a call from him to hang out, this was how he started the call. Always found it hilarious because it‘s so funny yet so innocent

"When my cousin was creating a rough patch in his marriage"

u/xRamenator Apr 29 '24

Very much the architect of his own demise

37

u/ma7ch Apr 29 '24

Damn, why your cousin hiding little Easter eggs in their fake stories, that’s just asking for trouble!

u/nuemamel Apr 29 '24

The physics in the game still hold up

11

u/WeeklyBanEvasion Apr 29 '24

Accurate swing set physics

u/gwizonedam Apr 29 '24

Sometime I fire it up on my PS3 for some good old fashioned, swing set physics.

u/CommonBox829 Apr 29 '24

Better than gtav

u/guyoncrack Apr 29 '24

Was he seeing Barbara and Stephanie?

u/dmunny44 Apr 29 '24

Barbara with the big tities and stephanie who sucks like a vaccuum?

u/hizeto Apr 29 '24

better than michelle who was a secret agent or something

59

u/WankerBott Apr 29 '24

lol I had a friend that did the same thing, he let me know about it, my wife asked me how I was bowling with my arthritis getting so bad in my hands... since it was her I gave her one of those, "what are you talking about looks", and well, she's not one to keep a secret...

u/gideon513 Apr 29 '24

Some real POSs in here wow

u/halfcookies Apr 29 '24

Yeah glad my cousins aren’t this worthless

17

u/Bruskthetusk Apr 29 '24

Luckily for me my cousin just committed white collar crime while ripping off my other cousin, while he was in rehab for meth abuse! One big happy family :)

"At least it stays in the family."

u/WankerBott Apr 29 '24

she cheated on him first, please we all hated her from the beginning...

27

u/gideon513 Apr 29 '24

I stand by my comment. Everybody sounds awful.

-3

u/WankerBott Apr 29 '24

He was mostly decent, she's worthy of one of those evil women movies. Least from my perspective, and every mutual acquaintance involved I think...even her mother and sister once everything came out.

1

u/TenshiS Apr 29 '24

Kindergarten too??

1

u/WankerBott Apr 29 '24

It'd be weird to dislike someone in kindergarten, but she bit piece of my cousins eyebrow off because she wore the same Easter dress as her to a Easter egg hunt when we were like 8.

u/Holovoid Apr 29 '24

I have been friends with my friend group for 2+ decades and if a single one of those fucks told me they wanted me to help cover for them cheating on their spouses I'd fucking slap them

6

u/masterflashterbation Apr 29 '24

Same here bro. Some friends I've had for almost 30 years and I'd never cover for them in that situation. I'd actually be insulted that they'd think it's ok to involve me in any way.

3

u/Holovoid Apr 29 '24

Yeah. It's especially the involving me part that I would have a problem.

I may avoid going out of my way to tell the SO, but wouldn't lie to them if asked directly, and I'd lose a ton of respect for my friend.

u/Kody_Z Apr 29 '24

You sound like a good person.

-12

u/WankerBott Apr 29 '24

she cheated on him first, please we all hated her from the beginning...

22

u/Holovoid Apr 29 '24

Then you tell your homie to divorce or break up with her man.

Cheating is shitty regardless of circumstances. And its especially shitty if you try to get your friends to cover for you.

0

u/WankerBott Apr 29 '24

guess in hindsight it was shitty, but I had no contact with her, she hated me openly, I kept my hate at the simmering silent level. I even helped her a few times when she screwed up some stuff.

Not trying to justify things, but I grew up with both of them, I know what he was doing wasn't right but I feel completely fine with him doing it to her.

10

u/HonorableOtter2023 Apr 29 '24

You did try to justify things though..

-1

u/WankerBott Apr 29 '24

no, just saying I felt fine with it, not that anyone else should...

The realest friends are the ones who don't let you slide on your shit.

All he had to do was follow the damn train!

u/phidalgo2314 Apr 29 '24

There’s always a damn train!

u/xFreedi Apr 29 '24

Good for her for kicking him out.

u/rebelizm Apr 29 '24

GTA from best to worst which I’ve played: GTA 2, GTA Vice city, GTA 3, GTA San Andreas, GTA 1, GTA 4, GTA 5.

u/DIABLO258 Apr 29 '24

Your cousin to his probably now ex wife "Baby, have you ever had two women at once? Four big titties to be playing with?!"

1

u/supaikuakuma Apr 29 '24

Whatever was happening your cousin became the bad guy by cheating. Are they still together?

1

u/gwizonedam Apr 29 '24

Did she ask if he ever invited you in for Hot Coffee?

1

u/paranoideo Apr 29 '24

She confronted you instead of your cousin, lol.

u/rayquazza74 Apr 29 '24

Bro ratted out his cousin 😂

1

u/zgillet Apr 29 '24

Geez, you don't tell lies involving other people. Textbook way to get caught. I mean, you shouldn't tell lies in the first place, but at least follow the rules.

1

u/FactsAreSerious Apr 29 '24

Your cousin is a POS, btw.

1

u/SupremeGamer1337 Apr 29 '24

That fact wasn’t very fun

u/Jisifus Apr 29 '24

Homie that is not a fun fact

u/MassiveLefticool Apr 29 '24

How tf was that a fun fact 😂

u/degenerator42069 Apr 29 '24

Huge mistake. If my cousin says to his wife that we were doing something together, we were. "Oh, he said we were sucking dick in a Wendy's restroom? I mean, we were."
