Happy birthday, Leslie Benzies! If your life were a GTA mission, we'd say you've already unlocked all the best achievements. From crafting unforgettable cities like Vice City to Liberty City's gritty charm and San Andreas’ endless adventures; every pixelated chase, ludicrous stunt jump or questionable NPC behavior owes its hilarious chaos to your brilliant direction.

Here's hoping you celebrate in true Rockstar style—no police chases required! May your next year be filled with fewer pedestrian roadblocks but remain wildly entertaining. Thanks for giving gamers everywhere joyrides they'll never forget. Keep leveling up because you're clearly still wanted: five stars forever!
