driving a futo was not my finest decision, but I only spun out about 500 times!

one of the things i’m noticing with running to the hills in these is that while it seems like a good idea it almost always kills alex.

46:30 seeing the back of the same white and red car that initially spotted him, was like seeing the tail of the Xenomorph

At 27:10 a car jumps off the dirt ramp up onto the main road while the Alex reads the camoman task out……

So I guess what we have here is… The swimcident.

You can tell that Dangerman was pulling them randomly because the first one wasn't 'Get into a fuel tanker'

What a great way to start the year. I really enjoyed the STH live stream.

My phone ran out of signal at the start. Also with the present, Santa uses Amazon OK. That's why it was going to, not from the airport. I tried my best OK, it's hard.

Whenever Alex is on foot you know it's over 😆. The AI are definitely behaving (more) oddly since the last update, it's not just the snow

New strategy, don’t wait in the hills like a dingleberry…. You waited, they consolidated their forces!

When you got the snowball one, I was about yelling "go to the beach"... so many people walking in an area cars don't go. As for going to the hills, well... you learned something. If you want to dump a car you need to make sure you get far enough away from it for it to despawn... like jumping out and letting it roll down the hill or something. Once you were committed in that area on foot, you were already done.

I haven't even finished the Christmas survive the hunt....THIS IS GREAT 👍

Its funny when Alex goes all quiet when he's trying to be stealth and a hunter drives by

I think this episode already needs a discussion video. So many close calls.

the "only left turns" one should be based on number of intersections rather than amount of time, like for example "only make left turns in the next six intersections" or whatever (that way you also have to go around in a circle which makes the task even more challenging, or likely to be spotted rather)... also, all the timed tasks are way way WAY too short! half a minute or even a minute is absolutely nothing in this game mode; it's a blink of an eye and it's done.

Did really well right up until you got scared to step out from behind the house, Problem is there's not much pedestrian traffic in the hills so you need to move from house to house quickly or get in a car. it almost would have been better to go back to you car because at least it had speed and bullet proof tires.

@16:50 - that drift from the orange car was clean AF

@6:40 theres a thousand things that go wrong every survive the hunt, make sure this is one of them

Already cannot wait for discussing the hunt....

I like this taskmaster series - you're finally given a good challenge this time. The past few traditional STH's have been just a bit _too_ comfortably won as skill was improved (although the hunter organization seems to have vastly improved too!). I think now, the challenge and intensity are brought back to those initial levels. Can't wait for that first taskmaster win, I bet it will be as satisfying and wild as the first traditional STH win was!

STH: Team mode Two leaders trying to survive being hunted by the other team.

We not going to talk about how he didn't really try to avoid Leather's bullets and not trying to return fire?

I do always love the task hunts versions of STH. I’d love to see it implemented more often

You can be honest now Alex: the "no awd cars" rule for the hunters was really only instated so Laddo couldn't drive his beloved Stratum/Red Leader ;)

The discussion of this episode is going to be surely epic

Here's an idea to modify the difficulty of the hunt as needed: benefits given for prii's blown up. Like, Alex blows up a prii and gets 1 use of a prox mine, with the caveat that any hunters blown up by it do not get removed from play. Or a hunter of Alex's choosing could interfere with the hunt for a short time through chaos, subterfuge, etc. Could add penalties too. For example, Alex can leave the city to escape without blowing up any prii's, but the penalty is that he must leave the city with a car he carjacked from a hunter. lol not likely he'd try that last one in particular, but the idea is an easy framework for adjusting the difficulty as needed, or just simply to spice things up. It's rather like taskmaster in that way, only with a bit more control in Alex's hands.

I love this series. Should be a task like shoot down the blimp or drive around in an emperor for xx mins.

Such a great show. The tasks should have a difficulty score. If Alex doesn't manage the fifteen tasks we could add up his 'points' for this run and compare it with previous runs. Once Alex manages to do 15 tasks they could then make 'easier' tasks rarer to increase the challenge.

Excellent way to start a new year. The random task format is a fun change up. Many laughs.

*BREAKING NEWS!* Outbreak of 'Seasonal Assault Disorder' in Los Santos! A series of strange events in Los Santos earlier today has apparently left the LSPD baffled, as a gift-wrapped muscle car was seen proceeding at high speed across Vespucci Beach. Several hours later, a long male was seen engaging in an unprovoked snowball assault on several pedestrians in the vicinity of the Los Santos central bus station, before being engaged in a high-speed chase through the storm drain system by vigilantes. An armed man was also seen dripping in several backyward pools near the Vespucci Hills. Commissioner Seagoon's office confirmed that the events appear to be related, but refused to speculate on a possible motive. Senior FIB Agent Hercule Grietpippe-Tiéme was heard to half-admiringly describe the apparent perpetrator as "you silly, twisted boy you!"

I really love the taskmaster version, more of these! The tasks get you into so many weird and nerve-wracking scenarios!

Game sound seems to be really quiet

I get a sense of deja vu

Man thank you so much for making the newyears one a task master. When you said in the Livestream "there will still be a survive the hunt on the first" I was filled with hope it'd be a taskmaster. 😲☺️

Happy new year!! So excited for a new survive the hunt 🤍

27:09 That guy is on a damn mission

I love the STH vids, could you turn up the game sounds a little next time ? It's strange watching and not hearing.

39:21 RIP to that guy who took a snowball to the back and fucking died.

It would be interesting if there were two lists. S list of normal tasks to be completed at next convenience, and a separate list of immediate completion tasks on a 5 or 10 minute clock. This way even the normal challenges can be messed up. Regardless, this was a great start to the year. Looking forward to the races, rolls, Nd hints of 2022.

39:25 funny thing about gta is people in chairs are almost always 1hp for some reason, you can see the last snowball victim actually die lol

I really enjoy this format, and AI being derpy as hell only made it better to watch. Not sure how much of a distraction it was for the hunters though, and if it helped Alex in any way, but at least I got a few laughs. Happy new year everyone!

I think the snow in LS is just awesome. I recorded as much as I possibly could. And now it's gone back to normal weather I miss it. Thanks again for another awesome video. Survive the Hunt is so much fun! :)

First time watching a failrace video in over 18 months, guy still doesn’t know map… and it’s not even the entire map. Will revisit with interest in 2024. Happy new year, wishing everyone a better one.

Fully enjoyed watching the first one of the year. Huge thanks to Alex and everyone for taking part making it a great start to the new year. Happy New Year everyone ✨

Alex: This traffic is a problem. Traffic: You are the only problem I see here.

Welcome to the show

I'm surprised that none of the hunters seem to have picked up on the 'impromptu race' notification after all this time, the biggest giveaway if they don't see another car bombing it along the road that they have just passed by their prey.

As always, this vid is the highlight of my month! Thanks Alex and the Failrace crew.

49:44 I love how you just turn around and casually walk back to cover like "ok shoot me already, DO IT god dammit you've been at it for a while now" lol

I want to join one day!!

With the way these NPC's are acting, you've gotta wonder are they called A.I because they're artificial intelligence or artificial idiots! Lol.

Happy new year to Alex and all the Failrace crew

A wonderful winter Hunt. It's going to be another great year for Survive the Hunts and this channel in general.

Keep up the amazing work

What a delight to see this! Love this series.

great episode, really good format, thank you Alex and the Failrace team happy 2022

I see I click and I like! Question does gta count snowballs as damage to vehicles?

Idea: taskmaster where the taskmaster has to be kept alive in your car similar to a hostage, and perhaps they are a hunter who wants you caught but can only do it by giving tasks

beach would have been a good area for the snow ball challenge. Could have swam in the ocean too, but there's no way you could know what was next. Great video!!! Also, thanks for the super stream of Survive the Hunt you did last week! That was amazing!

I have become a survive the hunt addict. These are great. I am setting aside time to watch the over 5 hour long livestream one. Shouldn't be hard. Got omicron and stuck inside. I find this better then Netflix.

Am I the only one that wants to see things from the hunter's perspectives?

I was listening this at work. I sat down for a min an got to watch u sneak that present car along the beach, around the docks, and into the airport. That was epic, nice.

Alex, never get out of the car in the Hills. NEVER.

I feel walking on foot isn't utilised as often as it should be, also, changing cars more often isn't either, because driving a white Comet across the map, passing through different areas, seems unwise.

1st. Here we go with a New Year's STH! With the "take a selfie" task, you should be able to do that inside a car. Another great STH, can't wait for the next one.

That “Christmas” car is unironically one the most British looking cars I’ve ever seen in GTA 5 lol.

keep it up man! looking forward to 11 more of these in 2022! happy new year all!

Sir I gotta say, everytime I see your videos I get extremely happy and I wanna thank you for being you

Happy New Year Alex!!

Love the taskmaster survive the hunts! This was really great to watch!

The decision to voluntarily go into the storm drains for no good reason was probably not your smartest one ;) Happy new year!

Love the taskmaster version of this

The monthly Survive The Hunt is literally the only reason I switch on the internet.

Best day of the month 🎉🎉 happy new year fail race crew

31:15 Alex Zoolander can't turn left.

"Im pleased with this working...as long as it continues to work."

really enjoyed this newyears episode !

I would love to see this series done on FiveM, it's so much better than vanilla GTA

yes

One task should be one time to take down the blimp

happy new year alex and all the failrace film crew

Fun episode! I hope you'll take another crack at this before we have to wait for the next Winter.

Another great episode of STH

Great episode, tough call to either camp behind the house or try to boldly stroll away. Likewise having to choose between swimming in a pool or swimming in the sea in a risky escape attempt. Sod’s law you were found sneaking around the rail yard by a Hunter as well.. I’d have gambled hiding behind the bridge support on the other side of the storm drain. Also very lucky not to get spotted entering or leaving the customs too, the Sultan served you very well though.

These are so enjoyable to watch

Another great hunt! Happy New Year.

Happy new shenanigans 2022! 😁🚗💥

All the best FailRace Happy New Year and have a good one peace out.🤘

Can you turn the game volume up so that we can here a bit more background noise

Happy new year Alex and FailRace crew!

What would be a really nice thing to do is, announce on discord when your filming and select a few viewers to enter a chat with the taskmaster and he/she selects the tasks to relay to Alex from the viewers 😁

For the love of God, put a scope on your combat MG! It may look dumb, but your character will hold the gun to his shoulder like an AR, making it much more accurate when firing, which will make it easier to defend yourself with it

I love the term "farted around" it's even better with an accent

Game sounds were super quiet in this one..... :(

I always enjoy a good survive the hunt

Happy new year. Another fun one.

I like that you are struggling to finish the tasks. In the later STH - you became OP - they couldn't get you. Now you have to change your style again. Couple more, and you will be untouchable again!

Hunters are getting really good. 👍

Clique play was amazing

What a fantastic ending
