I BARELY MADE IT IN TIME! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I kind of scrambled to finish the last bits of this video because of some delays caused by camera equipment and whatnot lol, but I finally finished it around 7 PM and rendering and uploading it to YouTube took almost 3 hours, so sorry about that lmao

Bully is a 2006 third-person action-adventure developed by Rockstar Vancouver, to this day, it is probably Rockstar's most unique title, which is weird to say when they have a game about table tennis, but you get the point. It is a game set in high school where you play a fifteen year old. There's only so much you can do with a setting like that, right?

Rockstar defied all odds with how much content they crammed into this game in addition to the main story content which alone is super fun and memorable, Bully is one of my childhood games and probably in my favorite three Rockstar games along with GTA San Andreas and Max Payne 3, let's talk about!

There were some difficulties faced with this video but thankfully I got by them okay, I realized right as I was about to start filming that I didn't have a santa hat, so I quickly tried to order one but they were out of stock and it was night time and I needed to get the recording done, so I used the crusty ass santa hat that I've had since I was like 12 lmao, I washed it of course but it was still crusty as hell XD

I hope you enjoy this video, it isn't as highly-edited as some of my others as there's only so much you can flash on the screen when you're talking exclusively about the game's story and characters, I also WISH I had a friggin' capture card to properly record some good gameplay for every video but for now, it's gotta be this way :( but I hope you like it either way! And let's all continue hoping and coping for Bully 2 after GTA 6 :D
