Watch Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin Cover the Clash’s ‘Train in Vain’

5 Horrible Mistakes and Bugs in GTA Trilogy
Just back in November, Rockstar games unveiled Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. The special edition release included minimal remasters of three classic Grand Theft Auto Games: GTA Vice City, GTA 3, and GTA San Andreas.
However, upon its release, many noticed many flaws within a game, from bad character redesigns to rain that looks badly overlayed with minimal editing and thought for the player.
To share some of our favourite glaring bugs and remaster mistakes in the game, we made a list of some of our favourites below.
Bad Rain Effect
The most annoying aspect of the remaster is probably the horrible choice of rain that Rockstar developed to make it appear more “realistic” and high-definition. Because of its dreadful and robust appearance, it looked like a university student made it during a weekend project. Unfortunately, this lousy choice appears to have passed Rockstar’s game testers and anyone with a sense of quality and taste.
First Person Bug
Rockstar decided to include the fun first-person camera view for players in the new remaster. This feature became more prominent in the GTA series with GTA V, commercially the most successful game in the franchise. However, it did not work out so well; the first person camera seemed to have tons of bugs that made it unplayable. Hopefully, Rockstar will fix this as soon as possible.
Arm Bug
Another bug within a game is prominent in GTA Vice City. This bug happens when players use Tommy to ride a motorbike and are about to try a wheelie. While it seems minor, the bug does make for some hilarious gameplay. This bug asks the question, how much money and time did Rockstar put into this remaster?
Hidden Wall
Glassy Games released a video that showcased a significant bug within GTA 3 remaster version. Whilst some glitches seem minor, this one seems to break the game’s enjoyment. The glitch is game-killing but straightforward, as it stops the player from moving forward due to a blank wall or a transparent object.
Getting Stuck Within
Lastly, to finalise the last small list of bugs in the new GTA release, we have this hilarious glitch that appears throughout the three games where a player gets stuck within an object or scenery. Whilst this type of thing happens throughout many video games; you’d expect Rockstar to do a little better when GTA 6 seems to be decades away.
Top 5 Most Profitable Sports Leagues To Bet On
Sports betting dates back to ancient times. It is a form of gambling that has been around for thousands of years, and it continues to be popular today. The main reason sports betting is so popular is that people love to bet on their favorite teams or players.
There are many different types of NFL lines that can be made when one is betting on sports, but some sports bets are more profitable than others.
National Football League (NFL)
The National Football League (NFL) is popular in the U.S and Canada. 32 NFL teams play professional football games during the regular season. The league consists of two conferences which are called the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference.
Each team plays 16 games against other teams in its conference and two games against each team from the other conference. These games are usually played at home and away. In total, an NFL team will play 48 regular-season games.
You can bet on the NFL using different bets such as point spread, over/under, Moneyline, totals, parlays, teasers, futures, props, etc. You can also place wagers on individual games, head-to-head matchups, quarter, half time, overtime, game location, weather conditions, etc.
When you use these types of bets, your risk level increases since you have to predict the game’s outcome. If you win, you get paid; if you lose, you lose what you bet.
College Football
The NCAA college football is the highest level of collegiate football in the United States. College football comprises 128 schools divided into 12 conferences. Each school plays its conference opponents twice during the regular season.
The bowl games include the Rose Bowl Game, Sugar Bowl Game, Orange Bowl Game, Fiesta Bowl Game, and other bowl games. College football is an exciting sport because it’s unpredictable.
You never know what will happen next, so you have to be prepared to change your bets as soon as something unexpected happens. Some of the most popular bets include point spreads, over-under, or Moneyline.
You can also bet based on the total number of points scored by either team. Another type of bet is called “over/under,” which allows you to bet whether the total number of points will exceed or fall short of a specific amount.
National Basketball Association (NBA)
The National Basketball Association (NBA) league is the most popular basketball league in North America. The NBA is composed of 30 teams divided into two divisions: Eastern Conference and Western Conference. Every year, every team plays 82 regular-season games plus playoffs.
Playoffs consist of the first round, second round, third round, fourth round, fifth round, sixth round, seventh round, eighth round, ninth round, and championship series. Teams are ranked based on their winning percentage after the end of the regular season. The winner of the best-of-seven championship series receives the NBA title.
There are various types of bets that you can make when betting on the NBA, including point spread, over/under, Moneylines, totals, parlay, teasers, futures & props. You can also place bets on individual games, head-to-head matchups, quarter, half-time, overtime, game location, and weather conditions.
Like with the NFL, your risk level increases when you bet on the NBA since you have to predict both the winners and losers.
Major League Baseball (MLB)
Major League Baseball is the top professional baseball league in North America. Major League Baseball consists of 30 teams divided into three leagues: American League East Division, American League Central Division, and American League West Division.
The regular season runs from April through September. During this period, each team plays 162 games. After the conclusion of the regular season, the division champions advance to the postseason, where they compete for the World Series.
When betting on MLB, you can choose among several types of bets, including point spreads, over-under, money lines, totals, parlay, teasers, futures and props. You can also bet on individual games, head-to-head matchups, quarters, halves, innings, outs, inning locations, weather conditions, etc.
When you bet correctly, making money is easy with MLB. Always check factors that affect the game’s outcome, like injuries, rainouts, and even the weather, before you wager.
NHL Hockey
The National Hockey League is one of the oldest and biggest hockey leagues in the world. It has been around since 1917 and currently consists of 31 teams divided into four conferences.
The NHL schedule includes 82 regular-season games and six playoff rounds. The Stanley Cup is awarded annually to the champion of the NHL.
Hockey is a fast-paced sport which means you need to be quick on your feet when placing bets. Many types of bets are available when betting on NHL hockey, including point spread, over-under, money line, totals, parlay, teasers, futures & props.
You can also bet against individual players, head-to-heads, quarters, halves, periods, goals, shots, penalties, powerplays, wins, losses, and more.
