FriendlyBaronhello its Casual vs Speedrun #4 and thats pretty cool i think, i hope you like it
I'm very much enjoying making this series, I had a rough schedule last week so this episode took awhile to make, but as of posting this video I am now the second fastest GTA V Speedrunner WHICH IS PRETTY AWESOME. I've been 4th on the leaderboard for a month before this, and now set my sights on getting the world record :)
I am playing as both the casual player and the speedrunner, so it's like facing against myself with a 10 foot pole. For the casual player, I play the game as if I've watched a GTA V speedrunner play the game once or so, so I know the mission order and where to go between missions, then play the missions as the game instructs you, giving the most shockingly average gameplay you've ever seen.

Called On Mission 0 (om0), it's a way to play one short mission, collect the checkpoints from it, then use those checkpoints on one of the main missions in the game, allowing the speedrunner to skip long/slow sections of the run.
On Mission 0 is also a thing in GTA San Andreas, thought done slightly differently - You can see KZ_Frew's explainer video on it I mentioned here: youtube.com/watch?v=ql4PDGRP5WE

This is based off a question posed by looking at the region specific changes made to the Japanese Version of Grand Theft Auto V. We'll take a look at how some speedruns are faster using language or region specific changes, and compare those strats to how they might work in GTAV.

Lots of these missions end up being about half as long for the speedrun. Like, it's surprising how many there are that way. Compared to GTAV, where almost every mission was ~33% faster. Neat consistency at least.

I aim to make future episodes in Casual vs Speedrun GTA San Andreas around 20 minutes, but I felt 6 missions was long enough for the first episode + the FAQ at the end was a big info dump, so I didn't want to overwhelm myself or viewers. Once we're in the "groove" of uploads we'll do longer videos.

Twitch: twitch.tv/friendlybaron Twitter: twitter.com/FriendlyBaron im posting this video on my birthday :) Patreon: patreon.com/friendlybaron Discord: discord.gg/friendlybaronMore Strats too risky for the GTA V SpeedrunFriendlyBaron2019-10-07 | My recent strat-update video only covered whats actually being used of the recent discoveries for the GTAV Speedrun - some of them are too dangerous to use in the run. A "strat" is shorthand for strategy, like a specific route or action we take within the speedrun.
Some of these strats are new, and some have been known for a long time, like the Shootout with Franklin in Paleto Score, but we haven't needed to push hard to try them yet. Now that the speedrun is getting more optimized (meaning that the times are getting closer and closer together as people max out the game), all the little strats really add up. 2 seconds here 3 seconds there seems small for a 6 hour run, but this video alone has almost a minute and a half of strats - it adds up.
The first Risky strat video was really fun, and I see no exception with this one. Cool finds, some of which require some heads-up gameplay. I go into the "decision making" topic a bit during the Pulling Favours strat. I hope to find both more "lucky strats" to cover, as well as possibly some videos covering the idea of "decisions you need to make during speedruns"... hmm...

This video covers all the major changes added into the run - though some of these are new enough I've only done them once or twice in the run. I don't have much to add in the description today, its basically just a strat update and mostly speaks for itself, pretty happy with the video. I /almost/ split it into two videos but figured one mega vod would be better, I hope everything was explained enough without me rushing through it too much. I'm not sure how long it would take to have another confirmed-strat update video, probably 3-4 months again, this isn't a monthly thing, I'm just dating them for easier viewing/understanding.

These strats still give us more info about how the game works and often influence future ideas in the speedrun, so its important to keep track of these. As well, this now gives me a series for every type of strat - failed strats (this video), successful strats (Strat Update Series), and the Risky Strat Series for stuff that looks cool but works so un-often its not worth doing yet.
Another professional strategy that should have been included in this video is just to "play better lol" but it didn't quite make the cut.
Speedrunning often comes down to trusting the people who did runs before you - imagine someone starting Mario speedruns today, the game probably has over a decade of knowledge, and you basically just accept what people have found already and dive in. It's been the same for me in GTA V Speedruns - I mostly just trust that what was in the WR runs when I started was faster for a reason. But its nice to sometimes double-check the strats and see what makes the game tick in the neverending quest to play the game less and less - it makes me play more and more.
And finally, whoever suggested the alternate route on Casing the Jewel Store, I couldn't find your comment anymore, I searched for like an hour! If you read this feel free to contact me so I can properly link you in :) That was a special comment to me as I think it may have been the first suggestion I got from YouTube comments.

Games Done Quick is a week-long marathon held twice a year that raises millions of dollars while attendees do speedruns 24/7. The runs are special in that they are explained in a way that they go into detail, but also are general enough that anyone with basic videogame knowledge can follow along - kind of like my Casual vs Speedrun in GTAV series, so basically that done live.
This run was pretty good - 2.5 minutes off world record at the end. I was on world record pace for the first 4-5 hours, just the last few missions had some mistakes and bad luck, but its fine, there is a great chance I get world record back - Burhac and I both have huge potential to shave 2-3 minutes off of our current runs.
GTA V has never been to GDQ - and probably won't be still. It's unlikely they will accept this game due to language, violence, or who knows what else. And that's okay - they've had war games and other GTAs before, but if they don't want GTAV, thats their choice. I would be mad at myself if I at least didn't try submitting a run, and I figured a few people might enjoy it even if its not an official run - and maybe making it public and the video doing well could help get it approved. We have the ability to mod the game to remove voicelines/graphics/scenes that GDQ may not want displayed and have offered to do as such to get the run accepted. As well, GDQ does often have long games (usually RPGs) but the length may be an issue as well.
I'm aware the audio may desync a bit near the end of the video. I use a weird system for recording and it works mostly perfect... except after about 3-4 hours of streaming it starts to get off timing. I'm working on it but it uses network streams and just... is a mess. I need a capture card... _________________________________________________________________

A strat update video covering all the new stuff in the run is in the works as well. There's a new route between Dead Man Walking and MiniSub actually, so some mission numbers will change. And the new stuff like the jump I showed on reposession will be included along with who and how it was found.
Most of these clips are taken from my stream, apologies if the quality or FPS is low on any of them, some of the older clips I was using a different recording method, but all future videos should look much better.
I was slightly inspired to make this video while watching Hugo_one's San Andreas guides, and burhac's new GTAV trevor% guide. Something that I haven't covered much is what can go wrong in speedruns, as thats very useful info for new runners, something that would've helped me greatly. So along with this video being a hybrid "fails montage" and explanation video, that kind of "here's what can go wrong and what you can do as a backup" info will be included in future videos of mine where appropriate.

Twitch: twitch.tv/friendlybaron Twitter: twitter.com/FriendlyBaron before you ask: yes, i ate chocolate-banana muffins while editing this video Patreon: patreon.com/friendlybaron Discord: discord.gg/friendlybaronAn Incomplete History of Strat Finding in GTAV SpeedrunsFriendlyBaron2019-08-26 | This video takes a look at some of the first strats that were discovered for GTAV Speedruns back in 2013 and 2014, who found them and stories about how they were found, then takes a look at how strats were found/shared/worked on from 2015 to 2018.
My last video was comparing the 2014 to 2019 speedrun with the 5 year gap, and this video will cover many of the early histories of the strats seen in that video. The comparison I made was only 15 minutes long, as many of the early routing in the GTAV Speedrun was somewhat set in place by the time the run I covered from Dekap in 2014 was done.
Many guides for speedrunning don't cover all the strats. The guides I watched to learn GTAV Speedruns, the guides I watched to learn GTA:SA Speedruns, and the guides I googled for games like Fallout and Mario 64's Speedruns all shared one thing - they present the speedrun as the speedrun. I approached my Casual VS Speedrun in GTAV the same way - I presented the run as-is, as taking the time to list every single person who found every single strat would both triple the length of the guide, as well as be nearly impossible to actually fact-check as shown in this video. So videos like these are how I want to present who-found-what in GTAV Speedrun strat finding, along with my Strat Update series. It seems like the best way to document this info.
I'm not much of a strat hunter myself - most ideas I get or people give me I pass onto Burhac or Reloe as of these days, so most of my opinions on this come from the runners I've interacted with - my desire is to just use the strats, and make videos documenting the cool stories, if any, of how they were found, the Reloe Hospital Warp being a prime example from this video.
My statement of "the strat fades into the run and just becomes part of it" may not sit well with everyone but it really seems to ring true for most of the people I talked to (can see some of them below) who actual do strat finding, so I'm expressing what I see, not trying to present a fact or something.
I used Dekap's footage for lots of the 2013/2014 strats when the footage otherwise didn't exist. It was just readily available and better visual quality than anyone else's at the time.
I call this video "Incomplete" as knowing every single strat and the who and why behind them may be near impossible, and I doubt I will ever cover every single one. So making a video that covers as many as possible like this seems like the best thing to do instead.

Casual vs Speedrun in GTAV took a good look at how the run compares to a casual, and I've had lots of requests for comparing speedruns. I figured looking at a very old speedrun would be the most fun/interesting way to do that, as further explained in the video why I chose to do this over a SummoningSalt world record progression style video.
Watching back the old 2014 was like going in a time machine for me as I didn't get into speedrunning until 8 months ago or so, so checking out old strats was fun, and helps me think about new strats for the future. Another Strat Update and Risky Strat video are in the works, as well as Casual VS Speedrun GTA San Andreas has officially begin (I'm doing lots of practice!).
I hope the 2014 run is watchable, it's from Xbox 360, streamed to twitch, which i then had to download and re-encode. its like 25-30fps and 720p at best i think. you'll live, just pretend its 2004 or something.

This video covers the Mid-Drive Speed Boost (aka Double Clutch aka E-Boost) along with a few other details. There is lots of misinformation regarding Mid-Driving so I felt compelled to make a video explaining it the best I can.
This video isn't as high action as some of my others but I think it's an important topic to cover so I can easily link to it in the future - I'll be back to more speedrun and similar videos next week :) If you have any questions or if i did get something wrong do let me know. I've been racing in GTA Online since 2016ish so I tried to think about what I wish I knew when I first started playing the game and included it in this video.
I will probably make at least one more Weird Mechanics video that will be centered around how to drive better, I am considering purchasing an eye-tracker even so I can help show people where I suggest they look while playing the game.

Some of these strats like the ladder glitch came from viewers of my youtube or twitch. It's super awesome how we're saving time from the community, literally. Really enjoy trying stuff out, even when it means I'm jumping out of a blimp or flying into a house at 100mph during the speedrun.
San Andreas Speedruns are a work in progress still, i wanna do Casual VS Speedrun just right for that game. As of this upload I still have world record in the Classic% category, and am trying to improve it before burhac catches up :)

This is my second time holding World Record, but last time I only held it for 8 days and had only beaten the previous runner by 4 seconds. This run was over 3 minutes ahead of the previous World Record, and 4 minutes ahead of my previous best run. It's super satisfying, as I've been on pace to get this GTA V Classic% world record for 3 weeks, but kept having runs die 4-5 hours into the 6 hour run mostly due to bad RNG (Random Number Generation, aka the luck of things happening randomly in games), and one time where I choked the run away. I expect to improve this record but it's a big push in the run and my own skills, coming just after I finished Casual VS Speedrun in GTAV so the timing is perfect. I can let this world record sit for at least awhile while I begin to learn the other big GTA Speedrun, San Andreas.
This is a bonus video for my channel of just the highlights/big moments, I didn't want to publish the whole video publicly so I made this instead to celebrate :) I started speedrunning GTAV as my first speedrun ever 8 months ago (late November, 2018) and am kinda proud of myself for improving so quickly. The community is generally pretty awesome and my viewers encourage me alot. I am also officially doing YouTube and Twitch fulltime now, so this timing of getting the record again is just perfect.
Classic% is the main category because its the most competitive. It's a long run but not 10+ hours like 100%, has the most runners, and is the most skill based - driving, shooting, movement. My shooting is only "good" but my driving makes up for it. Classic% has two main rules - one, no using taxis to fast travel around the map. That removes skill. Two, no mission skipping. If you fail a mission 3 times, you can skip to the next checkpoint in the mission. It's very boring to do that for the entire speedrun so we banned it. Hence, "Classic%", the classic way someone plays the game.

Twitch: twitch.tv/friendlybaron Twitter: twitter.com/FriendlyBaron look at me mom im goin fast Patreon: patreon.com/friendlybaron Discord: discord.gg/friendlybaronCasual VS Speedrun in GTAV - Strat UpdatesFriendlyBaron2019-07-15 | There's been some updates to the GTAV Speedrun since I started Casual VS Speedrun, so here's a video that compares the old speedrun to the new strats. Not a full "world record progression" video but kind of like it.
I love the Speedrunning community for strats like this. When I used to race in GTA Online, everyone was very secretive of their techniques, tricks and glitches. This is my first game I've done speedruns of, and I love how open everyone is. People are excited to share strats and improve on them together instead of hide them away for personal use. There was an explosion of new strats about 2/3rds through the Casual VS Speedrun in GTAV series, but most of them made it into the main videos. These are just a few stragglers that were from the early missions or found within the past month. There was a period of like 2 weeks where every day there were two or more strat updates, it was insane. Hopefully with another explosion of strats sometime we can get into sub-6hr territory.
I am playing as both the casual player and the speedrunner, so it's like facing against myself with a 10 foot pole. For the casual player, I play the game as if I've watched a GTA V speedrunner play the game once or so, so I know the mission order and where to go between missions, then play the missions as the game instructs you, giving the most shockingly average gameplay you've ever seen.

The guys head just randomly near the tracks, the dude jogging through the train. It's all so bad its good. Almost every movie in this episode was from the 90s and it shows!
This video was edited by neutreN, he's been playing GTAV with me for like over 2 years and is a great editor that fits right in with my style, you can see more of his work here: youtube.com/watch?v=0rJxcz2JdbA
I make many mistakes while speedrunning GTA, and I'm contending for World Record in the main category, so its hilariously sad whenever something goes wrong. And for every time I make a mistake, the game likes to throw a wrench at me too... yet somehow I keep playing. We'll make an episode like this every couple of weeks probably if people like it :)
He's editing some highlight videos for me (as long as this one does well) since I just don't have the time to do stream/CvS/highlights all together. If you want to see what highlight videos I made before speedrunning, you can see those here: youtube.com/watch?v=tpd_hsOSu5A&list=PLOtYMmhcUb1CkFJaTIkfsBqhCuWgJuPkh

I plan to make more "seasons" of Casual VS Speedrun, starting with San Andreas next, and eventually doing every 3D GTA probably. It's been tons of fun and I'm happy so many people liked it.
A hard part of doing new games will be selecting music for them, as nothing has such a strong backing as GTAV I think. If anything Rockstar seriously underused their own soundtrack, I did a speedrun while listening to the in-game music (not just radio) and it was actually kind of underwhelming.
Sorry if my voice sounds weird during this episode, I'm still trying to get the audio right in my new apartment, I think my nose is a bit stuffed up, and it was REALLY hot out this weekend as i worked on this. ok not terribly hot but one of those "first pretty hot days of summer" and im just not used to it yet.
I am playing as both the casual player and the speedrunner, so it's like facing against myself with a 10 foot pole. For the casual player, I play the game as if I've watched a GTA V speedrunner play the game once or so, so I know the mission order and where to go between missions, then play the missions as the game instructs you, giving the most shockingly average gameplay you've ever seen.

Then the next episode of Casual VS Speedrun in GTAV will be the final "main" one before we start doing bonus episodes about what strats have changed, and maybe doing a highlight comparison of Speedrun vs Speedierrun of like a 2014 run compared to a 2019 run
So, the softlock in Gauntlets wasn't fully explained because... it's really hard to explain, but I'll try here. During Gauntlets, if you haven't had the phone call between Davey and Micheal that occurs after The Wrap Up, then there is a high chance of it occurring. You also want to have a phone call between Simeon and Franklin happen, which means turning sleep mode off whenever possible. That Simeon call can happen basically as early as 1-2 hours into the game, though its common to not get it all the way until the start of Lamar Down.
If you don't have either of those calls, the glitch works in that after you deliver a gauntlet, no call to Lester will be made by Franklin. If you continue to do the setup missions at this point, the game will softlock and the Big Score Heist itself will never spawn, and you cannot continue the game (at least, not soon, sometimes it can be fixed but takes 15+ minutes of switching characters a bunch). The glitch can be "prevented" after the first delivery, by switching to Micheal to have the call to Lester made by him instead, and that must be done after the 2nd and 3rd Gauntlet as well as the Stinger Van. This loses nearly 90 seconds in the run when done, so its very unfortunate to have a big timeloss like that at the end of the game. A few months ago it was happening every 1 out of 4 runs it seemed, but the community rallied together to figure out why (the early phonecalls) and now its mostly a thing of the past. We were playing the game faster between missions which meant less time for said calls, hence why it became more and more prevalent. _________________________________________________________________

I like this series of missions, they are a tough for in a row with neat strategy, and The Wrap Up is probably one of my favorite to pull off in the speedrun... because its easier than it looks after lots of practice.
This Rapid-Fire bug mentioned can be seen here: clips.twitch.tv/KawaiiTardyCheeseTooSpicy Sometimes an enemy in GTAV will unload their entire clip into you (usually they only shoot in bursts), and it can kill you quick without any real chance of fighting back, like the first death in this clip.
Episode #14 of Casual VS Speedrun in GTAV will be about the... 3rd to last main series. We'll do a mega episode for #15 which will be the rest of the missions besides the endings, then #16 will be all the endings combined into one episode. We normally only do C but I will show a casual vs speedrun of each _________________________________________________________________

I love making these videos. Is it wrong of Rockstar to use other peoples ideas? Have you seen these movies (Terminal Velocity is so bad it's almost good...)? I was thinking, I wonder what movies will be used in GTA VI...

I love the music this episode. I know I said that last week but it's true this time too. I hope the music isn't too overpowering, or too fast paced the whole time, I think future episodes I will balance a few slower songs in.
I like all these missions but thats because I just adore the driving mechanics in this game, but the shootout in Fresh Meat is pretty nice too. People always ask if Cleaning Out The Bureau is my least favorite mission, and deep down the answer is no, it's annoying but its not that bad, its fun to stream it even if it does suck. I'm weird. _________________________________________________________________

I love the music this episode. I kind of dislike the missions but there are still good strats. I dislike my voice but I always dislike that and I'm legit like reading guides for singers on how I can be better when recording these episodes, I feel like I'm making an audio book at this point but for gosh darn gta v speedruns.
Hang Ten is a good mission, but Cheerios are better. Surveying The Score is a pretty lame mission, I'd rather have Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Frosted Flakes would work better than Bury The Hatchet. Pack Man is pretty alright but would be better with a side of GENERIC BRAND CORN FLAKES. _________________________________________________________________

These are all pretty fun missions, especially for the speedrun. The climax point of the flying in Minor Turbulence is really fun in the speedrun, its the perfect amount of dangerous but consistent. Paleto Score setup is a bit Zzz but its seriously tough to ride on the rails, here's a video of me doing it live -

This the official unofficial halfway point of the series, I think. Probably. Halfway until I have to learn a new game for Casual VS Speedrun, so thats scary. I will be making GTA V content still alongside new speedruns though. There will be 7 or 8 more episodes I think, though some may be much longer than the ~20 min range + a bonus episode showing the alternate endings to the game + a bonus episode showing all the new strats + a bonus episode i cant say yet.
The driving in I fought the Law in the speedrun here is just so much fun but can be SO frustrating in runs. funnily enough the time i set here while recording is a community gold, and the first sub 9-minute fought the law (as far as i know), so thats pretty cool. Eye in the sky is a dozer in the chopper part, but the rest is fun, and i enjoy Mr Richards and Caida Libre too. All in all a very solid set of missions for this episode.

These missions were tough to figure out how to portray, as the order seriously changes every speedrun. Easily the most challenging routing of the run for gta v since it changes often, which isn't super common in most speedruns as far as I'm aware. If anyone knows any other games that very much rely on knowledge to change the order, do let me know, I'm very curious.
As of the posting of this video, I now hold the record for the GTA V Classic% Speedrun, hence why it took awhile to come out. I'm super excited to say I've held it once now - I don't expect to keep it for too long right now and look forward to the battle to keep getting better at the game and lowering the time.

I tried to fix all the issues with audio and video from last episode and im pretty happy with it. The pixelation was a bit fuzzier than i intended is all, i will render out a preview before committing to a fuzz method next time, though I can't think of anything i'll want to remove later in the run like that. Just playing it safe this episode.
I'm probably going to have to make some kind of spreadsheet to stop everyone asking "jfdsjbfsdj will you be speedrunning X game?". yeah i'd like to do every (ok, almost every) game for casual vs speedrun one day but i only have so many hours in my life lol. It currently takes about 12-16 hours per episode + the 600 hours I already had spent practicing/running/studying the speedrun + 3000 hours in the game before that.

I know it's not the most interesting category but I'm happy to call this World Record mine right now :) This can serve as a GTA V Knife Flights Guide / Locations, Under the Bridge Guide / Locations, and a tutorial for how to do the speedrun in general.
If you are interested in the leaderboard (or to see the uncut run for some reason), it's here: speedrun.com/gtav#A_Close_Shave - The true title is "A Close Shave" because thats what the achievement for the Under the Bridge + Knife Flights is called, but we mostly call it Under the Bridge for easier recognition.
If you want to run this yourself, all you need to do is follow this video's guide (though check with me maybe on discord if you wanna make sure its up to date) and follow the rules on Speedrun.com. you will need to add a timer onto the video, but that can be done in any way, even just a phone timer or added in a video editor.
I am a GTA V Speedrunner mainly but plan to branch to other games eventually. This was just a fun side video against my main projects, and I quite enjoy the flying in this game.

Discord: discord.gg/B4WdbfjCasual VS Speedrun in GTAV #6 - Air, Ground and SeaFriendlyBaron2019-04-08 | Episode #6 of casual vs speedrun in gta v - this is the one with the blimp. if you don't know why thats special, you are in for a treat.
This episode contains a bit of action in the air, ground, and sea, and my god the ocean is so boring in this game, boating is so lame in game compared to real life. I forgot to mention in the video but from this episode on, the speedrun is playing on the downgraded version of GTA V that we use, while the casual is playing on the latest patch. it doesn't cause any major changes here besides a few extra waves near the end of the Hood Safari Mission though.
In other good news, I should be able to make future episodes of Casual vs Speedrun much quicker. I realized I had some weird recording settings (NVENC CQB) that was causing my recording bitrate to be at 130k when it only needed to be at 30k, so that was causing mega lag on my new PC (thanks again to rimash for helping hook me up with that). So it should mean more videos quicker in the future as I can edit and review quicker. In FriendlyBaron news, during the past week I also improved my PB in the Classic% speedrun and am still 2nd in GTA V, but only off WR by 4 minutes instead of 7 minutes, and I should be battling for WR within another month or two. I'm very excited. _________________________________________________________________

This episode of Casual VS Speedrun was recorded on my new computer, and the audio/video should be slightly improved already, and I'll be playing around with more improvements in the near future.

In this video guide (and maybe series) I'll be explaining and teaching you about what they are, and how you can use them yourself.
The brakeboost and short-shift mechanics shown in this video have been known about in the GTA Online Racing and GTA V Speedrunning communities for awhile now, but a really good guide didn't exist for brakeboosting, and I wanted to make an updated one for short shifting. These mechanics can be used in both online and single-player.

The Classic% Category in GTAV Speedrunning is the most competitive category, you can see the leaderboards and view all the details and rules here if you so wish: speedrun.com/gtav
If you like explanation videos like this, have another one on GTAV's Stunt Jump% Category - youtube.com/watch?v=7vTuHXKnEVc - and plan to be making more in the future of this game and others, as long as my voice doesn't run away first. I think it's been trying to sneak out at night.A wheelie in every... Supercar?FriendlyBaron2019-01-29 | I was goofing around and decided to make the silliest GTA V wheelie video you will ever see. See more goofing live at twitch.tv/friendlybaron
By editing the car's handling files (using OpenIV) I just put the cars in the muscle class, and Rockstar's magical wheelie script is applied. I plan to make a future video where I do wheelies on different cars based on this video's comments.
I am so desperate to make fun out of the Arena War update this is what I resort to, goshdarn super car wheelies. Someone help me.GTAVs Real Life design inspirations: Arena Wars UpdateFriendlyBaron2019-01-07 | Showing the vehicles and Arena themes from the Arena Wars update for GTA Online compared to their real life influences - There's more cars and movies than just Mad Max.
Thank you to this weeks sponsor, twitch.tv/friendlybaron Yeah I sponsored my own video, what you gonna do about it?
This video was a lot of work and I spent way longer on it than I planned to, but besides a few voice issues and writing stuff I want to improve, I am quite pleased with how this came out.
If you want more GTA V Real Life content, I have a few videos where I drive around a few roads in Los Angeles comparing them to the GTA Map - youtube.com/watch?v=f5gA8nOPicg
I definitely want to make more videos comparing GTA V vs Real life if people like this video, its interesting for me, and I can be more creative with it next time around too.GTA V All Stunt Jumps (Terrible) Guide - Speedrun World Record - 33:21FriendlyBaron2018-12-29 | A (terrible) guide for doing all 50 stunt jumps as fast as possible. It's actually just a Speedrun World Record. Watch me live - twitch.tv/friendlybaron
It's not actually a guide unless you want to do the jumps very quickly, in order, in one sitting. But it sure as heck does contain all 50 jumps :) I wanted to make a super explained video of this run even before my youtube blew up 2 weeks ago so posting this anyways. Will be back to more infotainment content like the RC Bandito/Wheelie videos later this weekend!
I've been speedrunning for about 3 months and already got my first World Record in this Stunt Jump category so thats pretty cool. It's not the biggest category for GTA V Speedruns but I've made a nice start into the speedrunning community after starting off being all over the net with "friendlybaron hacked in speedrun" when some modders were able to spawn stuff into my game, which was wild.
This run was VERY good, with only 2 major fails and a few minor mistakes. It can be beaten and I will attempt to beat it later on, but for now I feel the Stunt Jumps have been conquered. It'll require a perfect run of jumps and not making any mistakes at all.A followup to A Wheelie in EVERY Car - What was wrong, what weve learnedFriendlyBaron2018-12-23 | Watch the original video first if you haven't yet - youtube.com/watch?v=snvRBCJOgXU - Some new info, some old info, and some silly info about the wheelie system that was wrong or missed in my last video. Hit or miss me on my streams thanks twitch.tv/friendlybaron
The whole wheelie system in the Arena Wars update for GTA Online has been kind of disappointing for how wonky it is, but my last video blew up enough I kinda became the de-facto informational source for these wheelies. I think I can finally move on to other interesting stuff now too. Like which bike wheelies the best. Just kidding, I just wanna make more RC Bandito content...Special Vehicle Races for the RC Bandit, Oppressor Mk2 and ScramjetFriendlyBaron2018-12-19 | These races will be available to everyone whenever Rockstar releases them via tunables. Watch more vehicle races live on my twitch - sometimes they are special too - twitch.tv/friendlybaron
Just showing off a bit of the upcoming special vehicle races that will become available in the GTA Online Creator soon.

Last Creator related video for awhile don't worry. Though you should expect more RC Bandito I am in love with that thing.Finally getting a Prop Removal Tool in GTA Online Creator ... but not fully.FriendlyBaron2018-12-18 | This is exciting but disappointing all at once. More excitement and disappointment can also be found on my live stream - twitch.tv/friendlybaron
This pole remover, fixture remover, dynamic prop remover or whatever you want to call it has been a long time coming. Broughy1322 got his wish for it, but only slightly. This video serves as a tutorial and background info for the Fixture Remover tool in the creator.
I've got more videos coming with the Arena War update - figured I might as well since the wheelie video is doing so well. Also I need a haircut if anyone lives in San Diego and owns a pair of scissors and a bowl, hit me up.
Or join my discord - discord.gg/B4Wdbfj - its mostly for conversations but we do discuss GTA and other games too, not your usual streamer/youtube discord.
Or just don't interact at all besides watching the video, thats fine too :)RC Car 4 Life - Stream Highlights #1 for Friday, Dec 15thFriendlyBaron2018-12-15 | Taken from my stream today @ twitch.tv/friendlybaron - I don't usually make this style of GTA V content - either informational videos or much more edited clip videos - but I'm experimenting with my YouTube a bit right now.
If people like this video I'll do more, otherwise I'll cut back to weekly stream highlights with a bit more editing or back to monthly. You can see another stream highlights vid thats much more edited here for comparison: youtube.com/watch?v=e3UkQA3sHFQ
I'll be making some more informational videos like the Wheelie and RC Car one soon, and some Speedrunning videos too - but I hope you enjoy some of these FIveM Racing highlights.Remote Control Car in GTAV Freeroam! - An early look at the RC BanditoFriendlyBaron2018-12-14 | The best fun to size ratio in all of GTA V - an early look at the unreleased (at the time of this video) RC Bandito - also look at me live at twitch.tv/friendlybaron
With a little help from a friend, I was able to get the RC Bandito into my garage so I could fully customize and review it, and not just the customization/showing it drive but how it interacts in freeroam and such too. I'm hoping to slowly go over all the unreleased stuff from the update, along with possibly testing the phyiscs changes.

Watch me toil away at other fun tasks at twitch.tv/friendlybaron
I knew this video would get made and I wanted to be the one to make it. The Wheelie mechanics are pretty neat and I did some proper testing of how fast it can be too. The Arena War Update for GTA Online is kinda meh but this along with the RC Car (I'll make a video on that in a day or two hopefully) are quite fun - especially once we get it all on Fivem :) I added a little watermark over the map just in case anyone tries to yoink my video.
I did manage to get the Lost Slamvan and Ruiner3 in this compilation too, the Hermes, Lurcher and Yosemite are some of the most meme cars if you need recommendations. If you have any questions or anything else you'd like to see me test, let me know!
"Informational Parody" of Broughy1322, you can see his testing videos here: youtube.com/broughy
This is a fun little glitch with the bmx to bunny hop around very quickly, and I figured it'd be fun to show it off in this format! I calculated laptimes and topspeed same way Broughy does, as getting the math right is very important, ESPECIALLY for meme videos.
