Watch the video above for an almost perfect frame-by-frame reinterpretation, now complete with blocky graphics. Rockstar released three trailers offering a closer look at Grand Theft Auto 5's three protagonists — Michael, Franklin and Trevor — last week.

The newest Grand Theft Auto 5 trailers, released today by publisher Rockstar Games, give us a closer look at the game's three protagonists, Michael, Franklin and Trevor.
Rockstar first revealed last December that Grand Theft Auto 5 features three different playable characters, and then introduced the men in the game's second trailer. Michael, the oldest of the group, is a middle-aged former bank robber whose family is driving him crazy. Franklin works for a business that repossesses cars.

The ever-looping video includes facts such as "trees talk, but only some people hear them" or "sperm does not exist." The video was posted with the following message:
