Solved

A series of submissions that were denied yet a variety of them were sourced multiple times

Good Tuesday,

I am understanding several submissions were declined on the premise of "unable to verify" but there are a number (all of which I will note by their reference # later) where there were several noted videos to display the examples, as well as other excerpts from various modes of content uniting in proving this exactly:

* 1 #250112-215551-664000

*2 #250113-032819-555000

*3 #250112-095549-998000

*4 #250111-105408-361000

I also note that the last one had an especially exhaustive list of demonstrated examples in videos that were all the immediately available

Along with this to add context, especially as #250112-095549-998000 had the #2 declined column in the twice fate as it is now, I also made a statement to share all these details are exactly what are matched from the game developers statements and what they have noted, including when asked about specific game content:

Mission-specific:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgRaCAkCvuk (2:42)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbJnLpeDSGw (among several occasions, Dan Houser has noted a number of films have inspired each game and some being unquestionably obvious compared to others)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3LcSRJtYBI 

https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/gaming/gta-6-release-date-trump-election-rockstar-houser-b1192379.html (satire-based game planning notes from Dan Houser)

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/10/arts/video-games/q-and-a-rockstars-dan-houser-on-grand-theft-auto-v.html (the controversial satire standpoints involving subjects was also confirmed by Dan; the same notes Dan also details that print and screen literature and TV goes into the game life pathway along with the continuous movie references)

Though this 2012 link above notes Dan Houser has not watched The Sopranos, it still goes to vividly compare The Sopranos influence markers in the earliest games such as GTA III where it not only featured the inclusive TV cast, but also the story throughout ( https://screenrant.com/gta-trilogy-gta-3-cast-famous-voice-actors/ ) 

Along with comparisons that noted here still relate the steady flow of literature in each of these references, along with 

https://screenrant.com/grand-theft-auto-3-easter-eggs-mob-films/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JGmLsmUmz4 (11-12 minutes, 12:56-14:00 and on where Lazlow covers what the Internet includes, ranging from spoofed websites and the variety of content)


These notes are also connected to the related "Pending" as a way to continue the universal map on the content and subsequent background into these trivia clues

https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/red-dead-redemption-2-interview - This also relates to once again covering, in addition to others, how each game starts with the same ambitions that each note was tied to Dan and Sam Houser and also Lazlow (" Some teams might come up with beautiful-looking ideas, but if they can’t be put into the game world in seamless ways then those ideas will be dumbed down or cut entirely.")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Bb49dU6oY (5:55 to 6:08 also comparable to the culture each game would relate to in having the location be NY, NY, and 8:00 and to 9:30 and continuous to 11:00, 12:08-12:13, 14:40-15:05, 30:40-31:05, 55:56-57:18-30,58:52-58)

https://www.inverse.com/gaming/gta-6-rumor-rockstar-founder-less-edgy (detailing the raunchy ambiance that goes into especially the pun, satire and supercharged themes into the game: "The way GTA depicts women, in particular, has always been “edgy” — which is to say it’s also problematic. The humor is often defined by the male perspective (and the male gaze).")

https://www.ign.com/articles/from-gta-to-the-internet-of-things-what-lazlow-jones-did-next "Lazlow worked with Dan Houser on pretty much every Rockstar game as a co-writer, coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas to satirize whatever place and time were the focus of the development team's attention. Dialogue, quest design, even Easter eggs"

The Wall mural: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v-YSR4z4ZM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTfJ4NiqLMk (3:25-340, relatable Lazlow quotes that compare to the game and its ever-present raunchy influence of anything the games show) 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfSBLC2LIWw&t=1083s (47:00-49:00, 18:40-19:00, 23:00-23:46)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz2Za5cyWv8 (3:00-4:00)

https://www.pcgamer.com/rockstar-made-millions-selling-scotlands-natural-export-dark-comedy/ (noting the always intended brutal, dark adventures, content, humor and "morally bankrupt")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKsxxdPVz-0 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OMrMG4gkxs and https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Lfprvzg0aQE (links relating to several of the mentioned websites as an additional perspective)

------

To conclude, each angle of content is entirely free of any speculation and had a specific intended origin including in what has now been shared above related to the Internet content, etc

I had analysis whether simply to resend them all again or add specific notes on each as I have here but considering there are bulletin items in several, this was not possible to retrieve so easily and it was easier to list them all here and have them accessible from the other technical end instead.

Cheers in advance,

^v ^ Addition at 2:AM CDT:

I also want to add onto another currently pending reference #250113-105338-557000 with the additional to include as a context cushion: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4CueOgIdtI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1ifmtF9FLw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLRSfc92mDA

In addition there are two anecdotes that reflect on the high-volume of culture, pop culture and other noted components into the games:

Along with 2021 mentioning exactly this including the raw grade it goes into:
