GTA V Was Our Turn In Paradise

GTA V is a game like no other. It encapsulates a lifestyle- an aesthetic- that an entire generation will never experience. It is our escape to wealth. It is our escape to celebrity status. It is our escape to moral ambiguity on our terms and no one else's. In this video essay, join me on a trip as Chimpo leads us through this world of utopian greed and why we are all nostalgic for a time period we could never truly experience. A huge thank you to my friend, co-writer, and community coordinator, Chimpo. Without him, this video never would have happened and I never would've revisited the beauty of Los Santos. It can not be understated how much he means to me and this community. When asked how I should credit him, he told me to put "Michael" and nothing else. So just pretend I did that.
