Lazlow Jones: “GTA 6 has a lot to live up to, Vice City was so accurate I could use it as a map to get around real-life Miami”

Been saying for years O&A did more entertaining game talk than the actual gaming podcasts.

Also, Ant is the character Chef and sings the Pisswasser song on the radio :messenger_sunglasses:

alot less involvement from the O and A guys on 5 I think. Loads of people from that crew are in IV, east side Dave makes an appearance on the radio in 4 :eek:
I'd be surprised if ant does the song for 6, his voice is sounding fucked now :( poor nana
Man, I forgot that O&A were in some of those games. I've subscribed to Compound Media for a while now. I know Ant has his controversies in the past but holy shit the dude can riff like no other. He's just so effing funny.


I miss the boys 😩

I still listen to them daily. Just about their whole 2012 season was fucking amazing. Obama re election, Sandy Hook and Dark Knight shootings, and more. That year was pretty nuts. Lots of good (and hilarious) debates.

This is my go to:

Somebody has been adding hundreds of clips and full shows to Spotify. A lot from KRock and WNEW but also the satellite days.

I listened religiously back then. Even went to a Virus show when they toured in 08 or so. I fell out of the loop for probably a decade. It was only last year that I checked out Compound. Jimmy seems to be doing great and is married to a trans person (no surprise), Opie is Opie, and Ant recently moved to South Carolina and is just enjoying life, still does a daily show. He also does a show with Gavin Mcinnes each week. To anyone reading this, I know these people are frightening if you only see headlines but man, those two together are the funniest people on the planet AFAIC. Ant IMO is the funniest person alive now that Norm is no longer with us.

They are all kinda sad sacks in their own way now. Anthony “Nana” Cumia ranting and raving in CoD lobbies and drinking himself to death. Opster streaming for 12 people every morning. Jimmy’s career fell apart after O&A.

One of the best clips of all time :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Pretty damn sure he stopped drinking after his triple bypass, but yeah Opie's life is pathetic and somehow his cheap ass saved enough of the millions at least to keep his house in the Hamptons and the Trump Tower pad.

Working with Sam does Jimmy zero favors lol but I always thought his comedy was terrible. He was much more entertaining to listen to when he was in arguments or doing his characters.

Shit thing to say but since he married prince canute he's...happy. For Jimmy to be at his best he needs to go back to being a miserable git. I've heard she hates all his characters so he doesn't do any of em anymore.
 
But Vice City’s storyline, 80’s Miami, music and visuals meshed just right.
I expect GTA VI to be of course decades ahead of Vice City in visuals and yet not come even close “in the feels”.
The Feels died when GTA left PS2. We're never going to get GTA that looks like a living 3d interactive version of Garbut's art off of PS2 HW.
They need to step up their parody/satire game. V was ham-fisted and crude, particularly the radio spots. Good satire is subtle and intelligent, and lets what it's making fun of do all the work.
If DEI bullshit is present, or if they're afraid of offending people with those sensibilities, it's fucked.
PS2 era GTAs employ a clever satire that's been lost in newer games - both 4 and 5 are too crude, on-the-nose and full of American partisan politics.
Rockstar's privately owned and never has to worry about offending anyone or DEI.
 
Story wise both Vice City and San Andreas are my favorites. But liked Vice City a bit more for the city which is my favorite gta city still. And also because it's my first. A current gen version would be perfect so can't wait for the release!

As good as O&A were, it would be very funny to find out the real reason cumtown stopped is because the guys got burnt out recording radio shows for gta6. Would be a fitting replacement.

I did like GTA IV and DLC, but yeah, Vice City was still better. GTA V I found absolutely middling from storyline and character perspective.
