Have you ever pulled a gun on a convenience store clerk, but then found yourself stuck because some schmuck walked in for a Ding-Dong and a Slurpee before you could grab the cash and leg it out the back door?

Have you ever pulled a gun on a convenience store clerk, but then found yourself stuck because some schmuck walked in for a Ding-Dong and a Slurpee before you could grab the cash and leg it out the back door? Hey, it happens to everyone now and then. Fortunately, Rockstar has the cure for what ails you.

I am of course talking about the Grand Theft Auto 5patch 350.1, released today, which fixes a number of bugs, crashes, and other issues that keep crime from paying like it should. Behold!
