A video I made back in mid-2005. I took the song "I'm an asshole" by Denis Leary, and matched it up with video clips I took from the PC version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

This was recorded from the PC version of the game.
This was a project that i've planned on doing for several months, but thanks to recent advice given to me by npaltmp (thanks dude!) I was able to collect all the clips I needed to make this possible. Now, I was collecting clips from varying resolutions, so I had to facilitate for some of the HD video clips. Stretching out some of the smaller videos would have looked bad, so I opted not to do that for the sake of video quality.
Hopefully OTG and those already fans of his work will enjoy this collection, and for those who have never heard of him, feel free to give his playthroughs a look.

This was made using the Valve Hammer Editor for the Source engine. Took me about 3 weeks of constant work to get it to this point. Thanks to interlopers for hosting their fine contests. This idea in particular was most interesting to me, which is why I wanted to submit an entry for it. Enjoy!
There are a few things that I wish were a bit different while making. For instance, the "hot pink" car isn't exactly hot pink, however the lack of car customization and seemingly non-existant pink color in the Pay'n'Sprays had me deal with the color that was given. There are a few tiny things like that which I can also complain about, but they're minor details, really. All-in-all, i'm happy with the result. I hope you will be as well.
So with that said, here's the GTA 4 version of the "Asshole" video. I hope you all enjoy it.
SONG INFO:
Asshole - Denis Leary (Main Video Song)
Soviet Connection (GTA 4 Theme) - Michael Hunter (Credits Song)
It wasn't long before a camera crew started following me around. This is the footage that was found shortly after everyone was blown up in a tragic tank accident. I guess I should be more careful next time!
Back in 2005, inspired by a video of this song set to a collection of 'Halo' clips, I created the original version of the "San Andreas" version of this video. I didn't know about YouTube back then, so by the time I had uploaded it, I discovered that several people *cough*Combat*cough* (kiddin'!) have beaten me to it. It started out as boredom, but turned into a surprise hit, accumulating well over 1 million views total on various websites. This year, I decided to give it a slight upgrade. Mainly by re-recording all of the video clips for better quality. There are a few other changes as well. For example: I have used a lot of new clips, as well as a few from the first video, all of which were re-recorded, as stated earlier. I have also moved the credits to the END of the video instead of at the beginning. Because who wants to read the credits before a video? I don't. And of course, the best change of all: no FRAPS.com watermark at the top of the clips!
I want to thank everyone who has enjoyed this video. Whether you saw it on my profile or otherwise. The supportive and approving comments far outweighed the ones that basically said "this vid sux lol!". (I did notice that a majority of those comments came from people on Myspace. Just sayin'). So yes, i'm glad so many people enjoyed the original version. I hope you will enjoy this updated version just as much, maybe even more!
