One Last Ride On The Road To GTA VI 📅 116 Days to launch
Avoiding the Problem Is Still a Choice
Michael hears the argument. He knows exactly what’s happening. Instead of stepping in, he walks outside, puts on his headphones, and lets Phil Collins drown it all out.
It’s funny because we’ve all wanted to switch the world off for five minutes but Rockstar also makes an important point. Ignoring a problem doesn’t make it disappear. It just means someone else has to deal with it. Sometimes peace isn’t found by escaping the noise, it’s found by having the difficult conversation.
This scene fits beautifully into a pattern already uncovered in Michael’s character. Previously I talked about The Cost of Success. Michael has the big house, the expensive cars and financial security, yet his family life is falling apart. Here, Rockstar reinforces that theme without a single speech. Michael doesn’t lack courage in a gunfight, he’s fearless there. His real struggle is emotional courage.
It’s often easier to face danger than discomfort.
Walking into a hail of bullets is simple in Michael’s world. Walking back into the house and calmly talking to his wife and daughter? That’s the challenge he keeps avoiding.
I think that’s why this scene resonates. It’s not really about headphones or a Phil Collins song. It’s about a very human temptation: when life gets messy, sometimes we’d rather turn the volume up than face what’s making the noise.
With Grand Theft Auto VI on the horizon, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit one of the greatest games ever made. GTA V was one of the very first games I created content for, and while I had plenty of enthusiasm back then, I was still learning the art of recording, editing and storytelling. I won’t deny, I still have a long way to go though!
So, over the days leading up to the launch of GTA VI, I’m returning to Los Santos for Grand Theft Auto V – Series 2. Rather than simply re-uploading old footage, I’m creating a brand-new collection of fast-paced shorts that focus on the funniest moments, biggest fails, epic stunts and unforgettable chaos. These clips are shorter, sharper and edited to keep the action flowing from start to finish. Think of it as a celebration of GTA V, a countdown to GTA VI, and a chance to compare where Gramepa started with where the channel is today. The challenge is to get the whole game covered by GTAVI launch.
Follow Gramepa for at least one new GTA V short every day (probably two if I’m going to achieve this) as we count down to the biggest gaming launch in years. I hope you’ll enjoy the ride as much as I do!

Do you sort those niggling problems out straight away… or hope they’ll sort themselves out tomorrow… or perhaps the next day!?
