Grand Theft Auto radio adverts compilation

Author

This may be a different sort of request (as its for MP3s/FLACs rather than video files), but how about about a compilation of GTA's spoof adivertisments from any of the games, so you can add them in between your MP3 playlists perhaps.

The ads are comedy gold and deserverd to be preserved (I'd compile them myself if i knew how to).

To me the adverts are 60% of the draw to the game, and are just as good as watching a stand up DVD.

Ive looked around and this idea has been touched upon yet not carried out totally. Anyone. Anybody?

Hey, that's a good ideas. I've often gotten distracted from the mission at hand because I was driving around listening to the radio. There also actual comedy stan up routines in GTA4. I seem to recall accessing the audio files of San Andreas so it must be possible. I'm actually suprised now that no one has done this. I think circa GTA Vice City they released a series of soundtrack cds that included interludes from the various radio stations.

For Vice City there were singular CD releases for each station with a few of the songs and 2 or 3 adverts along with some dialogue by the station DJ. I think they did similar for San Andreas.

However, if you own the PC versions of the games there are programs to extract/convert the radio stations. I remember compiling my own for the original GTA3 and VC. Furthermore, rips of the adverts are available around the net in torrents. Vice City and San Andreas anyway. Not sure about GTA4. Try Demonoid.

I never went past the Micro Machines-style (how far they've come!) first GTA game on the PC.  That CD-ROM you could put into your CD player to play all the music, which was pretty cool.

Thats a start. Thats what im tapping upon. Was/wasn't there a guy at Rockstar responsible for producing the spoof advertisments only (if thats the case then this would be a homage to the pure tallent that he deserves!).

The torrents are dead klockwork, as ive tried only links i can find from VC (and are,well, dead). Thats why im so desperate for this compilation. Is there anyway to hook up a PC to an XBOX perhaps, just to grab the soundtrack?????

The PISSWATER ad in IV, really cracked me up. Perhaps made me even think of this in the 1st place.

Now that you mention it djsmokingjam, did they have the spoof ads back then? I remember having a button on your controller to make you fart which was a party piece for me (which i miss). The games were pretty average, to say at best. (didnt you have to press the "gas" button just to walk?).

Vice City was the one that made the hype.

Why? Not the soundtrack alone. Guess the marketing people never even guessed this would get under our skins enough, to produce a (WARNING: POLITICAL "INNCORRECT" EXPRESSION) argh, urm, it has gone.

Also, JR, perhaps, maybe, taken Roman out for a drink ;-)

Christ, i thought this thread would die as soon as its upped!

Hooragh! Got a folder with the IV ads, how the hell?

Anymore?

Anyone else who wants em?

Dont quite get rapidshare, and remind me how i post a link in a post http://rapidshare.com/files/125288898/PissWasser.mp3.html

Also dare you not to at least grin for this one http://rapidshare.com/files/125291291/LibertyCityGunClub.mp3.html

How do i share "A" folder?

If adverts even begin to hit me like this, id (perhaps) start to pay attention to them in the 1st place! 

Though, how about preserving that Andy McDowell add for, urm, err, well..................what was it? Because she's worth it

And She is! Thats Not gonna make buy any beauty products

(Im starting to go on one again!).

Thats the point about these adverts.

Im gonna join a gun club.

yeah that would be great.

I'm sure you could archive the folder of files into a zip or rar file and upload that.

What, about me joining the gun club?

Not sure how to JR. Will share what i got upto now if RS stops pointin me to single file, rather than a folder.

But there there any ads from the past games?

I did play them (Im guilty, as much as anyone as i cant remember if all the GTA games had the spoof adverts)

Hence the preservation request.

Hang on there JR. Ive now got the ads for GTA3, San Andreas, and GTAIV. So im just short of the top down games, Vice City and perhaps Vice City/Liberty City stories (didnt play the latter two so not sure if they have ads, but going on what ive found so far i image they would have ads aswell).

This is really good stuff. Ive just played around with an MP3 track list incorperating a couple of spoof ads, a song of my choice, two more random ads, a quick radio station plug, a talk station (Laslows reprival in this case), a few more ads, then another song from my hard drive.

The ads are not cut perfectly, but this is starting to sound like a radio channel id REALLY love to listening to for a change.

I really forgot about a joke i had about Pogo the Monkey with my kids. That was a big part of bringing them up for me (urm, yeah, i let them play GTA, like all the parents who bought an 18 game recently for someone who may well quite not be technically 18). RATINGS ARE AN ARSE anyhow. How did Star Wars with scences of decapitation/torture/even mass murder get a U/PG cert?

Yeah, GTA, maybe pushing it abit with kids with lanuage, and the violence of the missions, sometimes it sits uncomfortably with me. 

But they may be trying to spoon feed a way of thinking.

Perhaps Star Wars warrents an 18 cert if it was released now, if didnt sit right with the certifaction board?

The GTA series rocks because it is a big sandbox to play in and is pure fantasy.  Anybody mistaking it for reality deserves a trip to the looney bin.

I am so Glad that ass thompson is being disbarred.  We have 5 dollar a gallon gas almost and troops dieing in Iraq and all he can do is talk about the violance in videogames, LOL.  Truly sad.

 

The best tongue in cheek moment of GTA4.  When nico kills the lawyer who says "Video Games Kill People not guns".   That nut the other Jack Thompson from the law and order show said the same, and he was a member of the NRA.  HE did not get very far in his bid for the presidency and thank our lucky stars he did not.
