Former Rockstar developer Obbe Vermeij has been spilling some of the deepest secrets of the PS2 Grand Theft Auto games for ages now, and now he's stepped in to make꧅ himself a willing scapegoat for a disastrous San Andreas speedrun.

Earlier this month, Vermeij explained the "embarrassing" bug behind San Andreasꦫ's plane crashes. Now, a speedrunner who goes by AlolaGirly says on that "I am officially one of the victims of this in the worst way possible. I was already upset with my run, and these two happened and I want to flip my table." Chec♊k out the video below if you want to see the unluckiest plane crash a video game🌳 can possibly muster. 

The other incident in that video sees AlolaG🌠irly get absolutely wasted when a police car suddenly swerves to the right, seemingly out of nowhere, while she's riding on a motorcycle. CJ eats pavement and gets busted by the cops, as if the plane crash wasn't enough to ruin the run. A rage quit swiftly followed.

"The car AI♍ was also my💙 code," Vermeij said in response on . "So yeah… so sorry…"

Vermeij has revealed a lot about the inner workings of PS2-era GTA over the past few months, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史🐟查询:unraveling the mystery of GTA 3♛'s three moons and explaining how San Andreas characters can reach out of mirrors "horror movie style" because of a nifty technique to get around a la♚ck of video m🍒emory
