GTA 5 Mod Adds Exploding Galaxy Note 7

The Galaxy Note 7 isn’t so great as a phone, mainly because of its propensity to explode. It burned this guy, and this kid. Airlines want nothing to do with the handsets. The feds told people to stop using these incendiary time bombs. To put it lightly, the Note 7 rollout and recall has been…

Real Life Grand Theft Auto Would Be Way More Fun Than GTA V

As an ode to Niko Bellic from GTA IV, Andrew McMurry imagined what a real life version of GTA would look like. In this short, Niko loses his all powerful cell phone and a random passerby manages to get a hold of it. He can cue up outfit changes, special powers, rocket launchers and the…

Car Thief Gets Nabbed by the Law…While Playing Grand Theft Auto

It could have been worse. He could have been an unlicensed plumber caught with hallucinogenic mushrooms while playing…well, you know.
