It seems we’re just as obsessed with taking fictional selfies as we are with snapping real ones.
In a stroke of genius, open-world action game Grand Theft Auto V allows its three main protagonists, Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, to turn their smartphone cameras on themselves.
The 18 awesome self portraits in the gallery below, all posted directly to Rockstar Games’ Social Club from the game, would raise a few eyebrows on Instagram.
The pool boy is going to have his work cut out this week.
Trevor enjoyed being ironic.
Franklin was particularly pleased with his new ride’s ‘park anywhere’ feature.
“It’s time to cook.” Seems even Michael wants to pay tribute to the greatness of Breaking Bad.
This seems a pretty reasonable reaction to encountering a mime.
Michael wasn’t sure he’d ever look at his bike in the same way again. Chalk it up to the drink.
Chop’s over-enthuastic behavior was a constant source of embarrassment to Franklin.
Michael left the movie theater feeling somewhat dazed. Maybe he shouldn’t have brought Tracy along.
Trevor’s duck face needed work.
Well, it got in there, so it must be able to come out again. Right?
Trevor had heard about the ‘realistic breasts’ in GTA V and was somewhat disappointed. Typical games media overhype.
“Grraahhh….mraahhhh….mraggh……”What the heck do zombies even have to talk about?
Yep, it’s definitely a shark.
Trouble seemed to follow Michael around. He could deal with it.
When Trevor was around, you just knew something exciting would happen.
Michael was having his ‘L.A. Story’ moment. Not sure Steve Martin ever got that message.
Trevor was an adept pilot, often landing on the smallest of airstrips.
Michael enjoyed cosplay. Today he was rocking a Max Payne vibe.
