30 Minutes of Useless Information about GTA V 

the dedication is incredible, best 30 mins ever 👏

I love this series, it's sad it ended.. what about a useful information series? It would atleast be helpful and we might remember it.

It’s insane how richly detailed this game is. Even more so is your detective work, good job!

For the Ghost dog part the location of the family death looks the same as when you first meet Dom which is weird. Maybe the spirit of the dogs wants to help people because it wasn't able to help its owners. Seems like he can't cross over

Fun fact: ghost dog is actually also in the opening cinematic on the beach when Michael is leaving his psychiatrist's office. It runs by a sunbather and kicks sand onto her, causing her to sit up and stare at the dog.

Finna be the best 30 mins of my life

The one weird thing at 28:20 is that, in GTA IV that pick-up truck didn't exist. It was only accessible through the Lost and Damned story expansion. That means Rockstar had to either enable it through some form of trainer/debug console in GTA IV or spawned it in GTA TLAD and then switched the character model to Niko for some reason, strange 🤔

The fact this man flew and oppressor mk2, and a deluxe for about 3 hours for the video is legendary

The dedication this man has is insane. Literally counted all buildings just to tell us how many there are. Respect to you

The GPS tracker Calibration Origin is the point that it takes you if there’s ever an issue with your current coordinates. It is basically the fail safe spawn point where if the game gets confused it’ll put you there. Hope that helps

I appreciate your dedication to finding out that percentage of purchasable buildings for us! Thank you!

To get a better count of things I recommend counting under the rules: Building = People can both go into it and get shelter Structure = Manmade object/asset

I think the golden retriever that leads Franklin to Dom is a 'Door Dog'. They're dogs that are often depicted as omens of death and they follow people who are soon to die.

I was gonna question when will he do another one of these, im glad he did another one

In story mode, Jimmy's drug dealer calls Michael "Mr. DeSanto"

The "Origin"" point at 27:40 could be meant practical by the devs. Could be my imagination but i think thats the spot where my minimap always shows me (my own map icon) when i join a session inside of the kosatka . Sometimes the same happens when i quickly enter / exit an interrior (mostly while prepping perico)

It's a shame this series has to come to an end. It was a fun ride and I loved every minute of it. I learned about so many things that I didn't even know existed in this game. It's amazing that we're still learning more and more unknown secrets about this game even after almost a decade of it being out.

27:39 GPS Tracker subprocess CalibrateOrigin: is (I think) a spot where you spawn at whenever you die while trying to activate agency or casino godmode. I also believe that it is the spot where you spawn at whilst performing the “guns in passive” glitch. It is basically the default spawning point in GTAO. Anyways, neat video.

1:56 guess we made it

17:55 this might be what we call a "logic cube" at my workplace. If a programmer needs to write and attach code to literally anything to work, they'll sometimes just make a physical cube game object to get the job done. Why? Code by itself is hard to implement via jamming it into an engine. If you attach it to an entity, then it just works off of said entity's existence, and cubes are easier to physically track vs sticking it in an empty game object, followed by sifting through a mile long hierarchy if you need to make changes to it later. LOL 24:57, same deal. Whoever was working on the cinematic camera that day decided the camera is attached to a truck instead of being an empty game object like they usually are. I guess they had issues getting the framing right and needed an object as reference and said "Screw it, semi truck it is."

After level 120, you gain more max health. The health regeneration gain increases as well because it’s regenerating more raw health, but the percentage is still the same, hence why it doesn’t seem like it’s regenerating faster

the interiors being under the map thing is really obvious when you fail a mission while in an interior, the respawn animation will just go to a random part of the map and zoom into the ground. Sometimes I don't get why they don't just put the interior under the place it's supposed to be cause it's really strange to see the game zoom into a random part of Sandy Shores and then suddenly you're in a nightclub in Los Santos

This might be one of the most well edited and extensive RU-vid gta videos ever

This man in total, has wasted an astounding 75 minutes of our lives. I would love to see a 25 minute video of this. Make it an even hundred.

10:17 Actually, this mystery got solved from many years, the dog is a reference to "Vincent" a dog from the TV show "LOST" (an incredible series) who seems to spawn and disappear along the show and who alerts principal caracters from dangers.

30:12 I think it is because of the kosatka mission on the main heist where you steal a device that makes kosatka invicible on radar. They either had to remove the setup or remove the scope out so they chose removing the scope out mission

Love the fact that you stopped the seires at its best and didnt drag it on forever just to get views. Respect!

27:34, the fifth coordinate isnt a random spot, its where quite a few glitches can lead you, such as old gctf methods, save wizard modded cars, failed gm, etc, i believe it may also be where some loading screens place your character. And the DM trailer is in the sky above this as well.

@ 5:38 he got vanoss and h2o delirious mixed up. Vanoss started out with the headphones while delirious had the racoon mask

ty i was looking for sum to waste 30 mins keep up the good work my man

I scrolled past this video many times, and now I decided to watch it

Yes I love these videos so much! Thank you, you just made my night Also, random idea I got: instead of not doing anymore videos of this series, you could still do 15-20-30 minutes like the previous ones, but with new useless facts. Can’t imagine living without this series tbh

I very much so loved the series. Sad it’s ending but at the same time mad respect for knowing the limits and when to cut it. Most content creators don’t and that’s when their content becomes bland. It’s best for keeping that content fresh and great so no hate there! Can’t wait to see what’s next 😁

soooo dumb but yet sooo good / very interesting facts . good stuff buddy , now you got me counting buildings hahaha ... but seriously good video . Thank you for answering random questions I've often asked myself . Keep up the great videos

That was great fun, thankyou for taking the time to make it. 31 minutes well spent watching. I was smiling all the time. Thanks. 😎😎👍👍👍

That snipe joke was used in the movie “Up”. Remember when Russell was looking around the house when the old man told him there was a snipe?

I don’t think anyone else caught this, but during the mission “Did Somebody Say Yoga?”, Jimmy’s friend that he goes to buy drugs from called Michael De Santa “Mr. De Santo” and it got left in the game.

Brother, you reaaaaaally deserve my subscription 👏🏻

Also with Michael's last name, in the mission where Jimmy gets Michael high steals the car, the guy at the restaurant calls Michael "Mr. De Santo"

27:52 This place is where you spawn back from under the map after doing some give car to friends glitch. Pretty sure it’s some default spawning location or something

Your dedication is unreal! These videos will be missed but there is always the replay button!

I subed and liked because you actually took the time and counted all the building

My first time watching a video just to pass time while I work. Facts being pretty useful and interesting.. WHERE WAS IT SUPPOSED TO BE USELESS??? lololol. 10/10 appreciation for the effort and research that went into this. Especially to count the buildings HAHA

5:32 was not an useless information, it was a nostalgic one at best

this is literally the most crucial, important information that has ever existence. thanks for the great vid, and as someone who's had experience with shitty video software, i know your pain.

Lovin the dedication

you madman counting every building in the game is insane

I wonder if that health regeneration thing is the regen scaling with your HP. Pretty sure you get more HP until level 100 and so therefore the regen would appear slower if the rate wasn’t also increasing. But then again, that wouldn’t make sense since the heavy sniper was killing at the same rate. Weird.

10:27 In the mission "Did Somebody Say Yoga?", Jizzle's dealer at the Burger Shor refers to Michael as Mr. De Santo. Perhaps the devs either forgot to change the script or ignored it's presence.

this man straight up counted all of them buildings for this beautiful master piece of a video what a goat

amazing work on this one !!!!!!!!!!!

the alpha screenshot in the Yellow Jack Inn with the unfinished desert is really cool, I've never seen that before, it's crazy to imagine the map in the game in such a stage but I guess it had to start somewhere

You took 30 minutes from my life actually 31 but still, this was the most interesting 31 minutes in my whole entire life and even the GTA series every single GTA it wasn’t from your channel but it was still good you made my day a little bit better thank you 2022. Literally sucks ass. When is it gonna be 2023.

The "This does not exist" block might just be there from developements so you can copy it quickly if a developer has to implement a Mechanic with a Texture that was not designed by the designer-team yet. It's very common in other games as well that developers used such "standard" or ridicilous blocks to use as "fill material"

9:53 I like to believe that the dog was one that belonged to Dom or a dog that he may have helped at some point in its lifetime and since we can assume it’s no longer alive it can disappear instantaneously, it follows him like a guardian Angel which I find adorable and would make sense cause dogs love unconditionally and would obviously want to help them, even in the after life. Just a personal theory but in my mind it makes sense and I would love for it to be true somehow.

Bro i live ur chanel also if i ever want my day too go fast i just sit here and watch useless info alot :)

Mate you couldn't have ended it a better way, thank you for this series as a whole you're the man!

5:22 THIS IS SO COOL. The majority of the gta community grew up watching them, the old videos are truly golden. It's great to see Rockstar giving them this little detail.

Man, you can waste my time all night. I welcome it. This was fun.

Thanks very much I almost forgot about that horrid velume trip over ls to Cayo

20:00 I think this is a altered version of the mission in the auto shops where u rob all the fleece banks on one go only difference is u just lose the cops after instead of doing the jetski stuff foot chase etc Also at 29:00 the movie npc is placed where the dealership is for the update on the 26th so I assume someone is meant to be there and he is a placeholder

This man goes through so much for some useless info, big respect.

the unfinished heist has been scrapped into the auto shop contract but without the whole seized car thing, its pretty much the 5 same banks on the map and they just got trackers/alarms you can disable before robbing each one or you get cops (on the last one cops start chasing you anyway)

Watched 4/4, give you 10/10. Loved these videos.

I actually really love all the dialogue that connects the other characters in gta to eachother. It adds a lot of cool world building

After 30 years im gonna say to my kids: This guy managed to waste a day of my life so respect him! Edit: thanks 4 every like you guys sent me🥂

Man, you're too good 🖤

nice video man!

27:46 i work with GPS navigation, and the only thing that kind of makes sense here is taking about moving your reference point. All GPS coordinates are based on an exact reference point. In modern usage, latitude and longitude coordinates are almost always in relation to something called the WGS84 ellipsoid. The ellipsoid is a slightly squished sphere (often called an oblate spheroid) with its center located at the center of mass of the real earth. The WGS84 datum is basically a way to exactly define lat and lon that everyone can agree on. It has an inverse flattening of about 300 and an equatorial radius of about 6378 km (those are the two numbers you need to define an oblate spheroid). If you ever wondered how people decided where longitude starts and stops, its completely arbitrary and set to be an exact distance away from the Greenwich Observatory. You can also use the WGS84 ellipsoid to determine altitude, but GPS almost always uses something called a geoid that is defined in EGM96. When people say "i am at _____ feet above sea level" they are talking about their altitude using EGM96. If you want to talk about your altitude referencing the much easier to use WGS84 ellipsoid, you say "i am at _____ feet above the ellipsoid (HAE)" All that said, the reference point (or the origin) for the latitude, longitude, and altitude that we all use is arbitrary and can be moved. It can often be desirable to "move" the reference point around if you are doing some navigational math and want to avoid something like dividing by zero. You could also just use a different origin point for navigation, like the center of the sun for flying around the solar system. With all that in mind, you could also give someone a location (or set of waypoints) that are relative to a different origin. In other words, you would do some math to move the WGS84 references around, then you would look at where your coordinates now point.

I want to point out in that old picture of Trevor in the beta plane, his head is also slightly clipping the glass dome on the plane itself. And also thank you so much for all the wonderful information and work you did to make these videos, somehow so much info was pulled and im sure theres still more we would have no idea about. Rest your mind and pc after counting all those damn buildings

This video is good keep it up can't wait for 40 mins 👍

Epic series, Tysm

a lot of this information are small nice things to know especially some that are so outrageous you can’t find on your own, it makes this place a great and interesting library of facts and with you voicing the video making it a very enjoyable 30 min for even people who aren’t interested in the knowledge

The next time I'm having a sleepover with a friend, this is the video to watch with popcorn. This is honestly so interesting, nice job :D

I have watched this twice so you actually took 60 minutes of my life

These videos were actually very interesting.

Anyone else love how Franklin casually breaks the fourth wall

that feeling when it’s 6 am but InControlAgain posted a new video

This is the best thing to fall asleep to .

For #19, when Micheal and Jimmy go to meet Jimmy’s “friend” at Burger Shot, the dealer refers to Micheal as Mr. De Santo

"I wonder how many buildings.." this right here is dedication at max

Idk if this is something you covered but using a controller and a 'MANUAL' car on a hill; slightly press the throttle and the car will roll back down the hill, pressing it more will give you actual frontal movement simulating using a clutch on hill starts. Doesn't work on electric vehicles so this is definitely a really cool minute detail

Been playing gta for over 10 years and just learned how to take cover properly. Thanks.

i really love the fact that not only us, the players have a level, but also lore characters like rubio and lamar. makes you wonder what level are franklin, michael, trevor, lester, martin etc

Oh man, this series was insane! So much Information I will instantly forget about as soon as I click off this video. Congrats for all growth of your channel. Deserved - to 100%!

Yes we do!!! and now we want one hour of useless information.

Great vid as always. Have you ever been killed by the Great White Shark as Trevor.?

lol I love this guy -- this was amazing

5:29 That painting is actually a recolour of one of the paintings you can buy for your casino penthouse, so that Easter egg was already in the game a couple years earlier 7:01 I *think* that there’s a textbox that tells you somewhere early on in the storymode, Ive known about this for quite a while and remember using it a few times 10:31 There’s a character in one of the storymode cutscenes that refers to Michael as “Mr. De Santo”, it may be a leftover but it might just be the character simply mispronouncing his name considering their personality from what I remember EDIT: One Easter egg/reference that I’ve never seen anyone mention is how the catsuit outfit for female characters in GTA Online is an almost one-to-one recreation of the catsuit Jessica Albas character wears in Spy Kids 4

I could watch these videos all day. This content is so oddly entertaining

The best 30 minutes of my life

19:58 this heist was actually repurposed as an auto shop contract, though in that version, the sixth fleeca bank in harmony is also included, and the jetski escape was scrapped.

No way. I just found your channel today and just got done binging your other useless information videos! This could not have been timed better!!!

20:08 this actually is a heist in the autoshop, its a little different without the whole getaway part. I suggest tou check it out

Please do these again!!

The last set of coordinates on the board in the facility is probably a calibration coordinate, not necessarily taking you anywhere but it’s just the gps calibrating the origin of the signal, ergo the facility.

One little extra note to add: female characters can Have an advantage in a very few PvE situations. They can wear High heels and that makes the character model taller. This can be positive when aiming from out of a few containers against NPC's. It was pretty effective at that Survival in stab City when that container was inside the fighting Area. The female character could thus kill the enemies easier than the male characters.

I loved this series, sad it’s the last one but good for making these vids. And I actually think it’s cool to know these useless facts because it sheds light on the development of the game and missing features.

Ive Watched this Video three times now, and every single time i forgot everything, as soon as i clicked of the Video.

I’m glad this video blew up
