I tried to rob a jewellery store as a blind drunk Bad Santa in a GTA 5 roleplay server

Dear Kid,Merry Christmas.

I became the mob's personal tailor after a gangster saved my life in GTA 5 RP

They call me Eyebrows, on account of the scarring I sustained when the ambulance exploded.Back then, I barely had two cents to rub together, and now, well, now I can’t decide whether to ride my Mercedes-Benz A-Class AMG into town, or to hop in my black Porsche Cayenne Coupe and put the pedal to the floor. I choose the Porsche. I always do. I love this car. → Read More

Working a 9-5 in GTA 5 roleplay is the best way to enjoy Grand Theft Auto

Ever had your private parts gnawed on by a hungry police dog while you’re laid flat on your back, oozing blood, on the tiled floor of a jewellery store’s vault room? I have. Several times. And after an exhilarating run of murder, deceit, robbery, and, um, vampirism and death-by-undead in Grand Theft Auto 5 roleplay, I must admit: I’m knackered.For a long time now, I’ve flirted with the idea of… → Read More

I posed as a lawyer and tried to clear a serial killer of murder in a GTA 5 roleplay server

Curt is a bastard. I know this because I watched him intentionally mow down three innocent bystanders in cold blood first-hand, before hopping out of his pickup truck, beating a woman to death with a baseball bat, and then chasing another down the street brandishing a knife and cackling as he went. It's worth noting that while this is pretty standard behaviour in regular GTA Online, it’s a big… → Read More
