Before TGG's voice became familiar to people looking for GTA Online guides, it was something he was afraid to share. In "GTA 5 Changed My Life", his farewell to the game becomes an account of how he found the confidence to make those videos at all.

The upload has drawn about 46,000 views in less than three hours. After several releases dissecting GTA 6 gameplay and music, this one turns towards the person behind the commentary.

TGG remembers his dad buying him GTA V on launch day, followed by nights playing online with school friends. One overheating PlayStation even ended up in a freezer. Those memories give way to a harder period: leaving university twice, losing direction and struggling with depression.

He also explains that a brain tumour affected his voice and hormones, contributing to the insecurity he felt about recording himself. "I have a brain tumor. Still do," he says. It is a direct account of something viewers hearing his assured commentary might never have understood.

The turning point came when he left his job and committed to making videos in 2019. GTA Online guides became the foundation; his "Rags to Riches" series and growth during the pandemic helped turn that decision into a career. In the comments, viewers pick up on the contrast between fearing his own voice and becoming recognisable for it. Others share memories of growing up alongside the same game.

The later chapters show where that work took him: Los Angeles, Miami, conversations with actor Ned Luke and an invitation to Rockstar Games in Scotland to see GTA 6 early. A closing montage puts old streams beside travel footage, trophy celebrations and photographs with friends. The farewell is to Los Santos, but much of what TGG is looking back on happened beyond its streets.
