January Update 2018 [New ideas and videos] (Patreon)
Content
Happy New Year!
Recently I came up with two brand new ideas; one for beta analysis and one for comparison.

GTA SA - Cut ability to buy furniture
As the working title for this video suggests, developers had an idea to implement pretty awesome feature. I am not sure how this feature could work, as there are only 7 strings left from this feature and two of them are shop names.
Despite the fact that these strings aren't so interesting, I have an idea to make a video where I would "investigate" this feature; going from point "A" to point "B". For instance, I can start my video saying that there was a cut feature... then show those shop names... then try to find as many in-game leftovers as possible.... It might be a good plan.
Right now I decided to contact some people and see if they can find at least something in the executable (code) and see if we can restore something. Who knows, maybe this will be the next video.

GTA IV - Consoles vs PC
Since I bought a new monitor and I asked myself a question. Can I use the second monitor to ease up some things for myself? As a result, I came up with an idea to launch GTA IV on PC and on a console.
So I started to test if I can compare these games... I also found a small list with the console differences and started capturing footage, just in case.
Sadly, there are not so many changes and a lot of them are kinda "boring", but.... I will try to find more and see if there is a point to make a video about that.... or to make an interesting story having these "boring changes". I am not sure yet. Might be the future video.

Other information
Red Dead Redemption [beta version] (information)
~~~~
Remember I said that there is a dude who has beta (preview) version of GTA IV?
You will be shocked, but it turns out there is a preview build of RDR as well! You can read about it here https://www.obscuregamers.com/threads/red-dead-redemption-2009-preview-build.23581/
Basically, you know nothing about this stuff, because no one shares this information nor sells it. So yeah... beta discs do exist, even from R*, although they are very rare and very expensive. But at least you know that beta discs might exist and there are a few lucky people in the world who has access to this stuff. (Not me :P)

GTA SA - Japanese vs International version (possible future video)
It looks people really enjoyed my "GTA VC - Exclusive Japanese content" video and I decided to look at the SA JP version as well.
Sadly, there is no exclusive content like in Vice City and therefore I can't name it "exclusive content" video. On the other hand, there are a lot of lame censorship cuts. Maybe, I am not sure yet, I will make a video about these cuts.
For instance, I heard you can't kill peds with your rotor blades.
Sounds good, right? The question is, how can I track these changes down? I asked some people to translate me some JP materials from official JP sources. As a result, I have a huge list with "possible" JP cuts and all I have to do is to check them and see if they are at least true, because it was pretty hard to translate JP text.
The real question is, are you interested to see these GTA SA JP cuts? Sometimes I can't predict if the topic is interesting or not and I can delay doing the video for ages.

100k of subs soon!
Soon enough I will hit 100k of subs on my YT channel! Damn, this is so freaking awesome! To celebrate this achievement, I want to make some posts (images) on Twitter with some cool facts/trivia about my channel.
I will reveal how did I get "verified" status on YT.
I will reveal what video I hate the most on my channel.
I will reveal why did I start making my channel and etc..
I hope, it will be interesting for you.
I will try to make these facts available here on Patreon first and then upload them on Twitter a.k.a. early access.
