GTA V: behind-the-scenes look at the world's only dedicated GTA V countdown monitoring centre

Tomorrow is a big day for gamers. It's the day that the world gets its first look at GTA 5. We're pumped. Beyond hyped. Out of our minds and close to being sick into a bucket. It's our Christmas Eve. Ever since the intangibly exciting GTA 5 countdown clock appeared last week and started counting down and stuff, we haven't taken our eyes off it. We're not even joking. Look, here's an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of our GTA 5 countdown monitoring centre. We're pretty sure it's the only GTA 5 countdown monitoring centre in the world:

As soon as that countdown clock reaches zero on all the dials... IT'S GTA 5 TRAILER TIME!!!! And where can you watch the debut GTA 5 trailer? You can watch the debut GTA 5 trailer right here! We'll see you tomorrow. Bring a bucket.
