Until 2 years ago, I used to be a PC person. I had a giant tower desktop computer with fans with flashing lights. I replaced that with a maxed-out MacBook Pro so that I could start traveling and work from anywhere. The problem is, since then I’ve missed PC gaming. All that startup stuff gets so incredibly boring after awhile, and we need to destress. Why even leave your computer screen to destress when you can do it ON YOUR COMPUTER? YES! YES! FREEDOM OF REALITY!
So let’s browse the games in Apple’s App Store, well, they’re not so great. It’s kind of the iOS type stuff but then for OSX. Pretty very very shit.
But that’s stupid, because the MacBook Pro 15″ has two graphic cards, and they’re actually pretty powerful. And the MacBook Pro 13″ and MacBook Air have on-board graphic cards, but they’re fine to play PC games from a few years ago (like Skyrim). So it’s a bit of a shame, we can’t play games on it. And well, destress.
How about GTA V? It’s come out for PC a few months ago, so I wanted to see if I could get it working on my MacBook Pro. I was pretty sure I couldn’t, but I still wanted to try. I mean I’ve been wanting to play this for years, but never had a device for it. I mean, YOU NEED TO PLAY THIS, RIGHT?
I know you can run Windows on Mac with Parallels. But it’s a virtualization app, so it’d never run it with any high performance as the graphics drivers are virtual (software emulated) and not native (hardware). Try it with any game, it’ll probably crash even before playing it, or it’ll be extremely slow.
But then there’s Boot Camp, which lets you run Windows natively (without virtualization) and with high performance on your Mac. After it’s installed you’ll have to reboot to switch to Windows, but that only takes half a minute each time.
**Since Apple doesn’t like Windows, it makes it REALLY EXTRA SUPER hard to get Boot Camp to work. Obviously cause they hate Windows and never want you to use it. I get it. But that means it’s full of stupid bugs that you have to figure out yourself how to fix. It took me 10 days. Yes. 10 days of tears. Maybe that’s why I don’t know anybody using Boot Camp. So to save you all the PAIN and time, here is my tutorial with all the tricks to get it working.
**

What you’ll need
- 16GB USB stick (not an SD card!), I tried a 8GB one as Apple recommends it, but it wasn’t big enough, yup WHATEVER!
- Windows 8 ISO file, in a perfect world you’d buy this from Microsoft, but they make it really hard and want to ship you a physical CD (what the fuck, it’s 2015, let me buy an ISO), so just find an ISO file of Windows somewhere (okay fine, Microsoft, I guess you don’t WANT my money)
- Steam account to buy GTA V PC (it’s about $50 I think, worth it because you can play it online if you buy it legally)
Prepare Boot Camp
First search for Boot Camp Assistant on your Mac. Click Continue and you’ll see this:
If this is your first time, select ALL boxes. The first one makes your USB stick loaded with Windows and OSX’s boot camp loader, the second one is the Boot Camp drivers it adds, the third one sounds weird but means it’ll partition your drive to set up Windows.
So now click Continue:
Select your Windows ISO file and continue.
It’ll take some time to copy the Windows ISO to your USB stick, and then download the drivers from Apple that are compatible to your Windows version.
When it finishes, you’ll see this partition window. This means it’ll divide your hard drive up in two pieces, one drive for Windows, one for Mac’s OSX. Here it gets really dodgy, because it actually doesn’t work properly EVER.
You need to choose how big your Windows drive should be. To calculate the size: Windows needs about 20 GB to function, then you need some space for your game. GTA V takes 65 GB, so that is 65+20=85 GB. To make it performant I rounded it up to 100 GB. But it depends on how big your games are etc. Skyrim e.g. is less than 10 GB. So you’d need only 30 to 40 GB probably.
But then it doesn’t work
The reason I said this is dodgy is because it’ll probably fail. You’ll see this amazingly descript error probably like me and my friends did:
It took me days to figure out how to fix it. But it comes down to this: (1) free up space on your drive and (2) if it has disk errors or not. Aim to get about 50% free space. For me that was insane because I have a 1TB drive, with 100 GB free, so I had to free up another 400 GB. It helps to just put stuff on an external hard drive while you’re setting up Boot Camp, you can put it back after.
The non-blue stuff on Macintosh HD is my free space, not enough obviously. Make sure you get about 50% free space on your drive. So if you have 256 GB drive, get 125 GB free. At 500 GB, 250 GB free. At 1 TB, 500 GB free. You get it.
Now fix those errors
Even after clearing all that space, Boot Camp will probably still whine and fail again, like it did for me.
That’s because it’ll run into some weird errors on your drive. Those weird errors are because off, well, I have no fucking clue. But they’re there. How to fix this? Well you open Disk Utility.
Click “Verify Disk” and it’ll check your disk. This might take awhile. I got this crazy scary error. If you didn’t get that and it’s verified, then just skip this part.
I was like “wait WHAT? NO!”. My SSD drive was broken? Why did nobody tell me! I rebooted into Recovery Mode (reboot and hold CMD+R). There I opened Disk Utility in there to verify my disk. If your disk is encrypted like mine, you need to unlock it first by right-clicking the disk, selecting Unlock and entering your password.
Then I verified it again, repaired everything and it worked fine. There were no errors. Odd right? Who cares! Because after this it worked. I rebooted into normal OSX mode and started Boot Camp Assistant again. This time I only selected the last checkbox:
Let’s try again
There we go, partition it:
After partitioning, Boot Camp Assistant automatically restarts. And then BAM!
Now Windows doesn’t like our partitions
Yay! It’s Windows! On a Mac! Don’t celebrate too early, because this is where hell starts.
See what that says? “Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3”. Wait WHAT? WHY! Boot Camp was supposed to fix this shit, right? I was supposed to not do anything and Boot Camp would put all the files in the right place, to make it work on Mac, right?
NOPE!
Then you press Format on that partition. And it seems to work but no it doesn’t because it says:
“The selected disk of the GPT partition style”
COME ON!
What does it take for a (wo)man to get a Windows around here?
Well, a lot. After hours of Googling, I figured it out.
You need to reboot back into OSX. Exit the installation. Then hold ALT/OPTION and select Macintosh HD to boot to. Then go back to Disk Utility:
Select your BOOTCAMP partition and go to the Erase tab, then under Format select ExFAT and click Erase. Make sure you’re erasing the correct partition (BOOTCAMP not Macintosh HD).
After that reboot your MacBook into Windows by rebooting and holding the ALT/OPTION key and selecting your USB stick (I think it’s called EFI). It’ll load the Windows install again.
Try selecting the BOOTCAMP partition in the Windows installation again, you can recognize it by the size you made it. For me that was 100 GB (it showed as I think 86 GB). If it still gives an error, go last resort. Remove the BOOTCAMP partition within the Windows installation by clicking Delete.
Then add a new partition by clicking New:
Try installing it on that partition. If that still doesn’t work, you’re out of luck, cause I have no idea either.
And then…it works
You’ll see this.
The problem is that there’s a good chance the Boot Camp drivers for Windows to understand your MacBook (e.g. use WiFi, sound, etc.) aren’t installed. Luckily they’re on your USB stick. In the Start Screen go to search and type File Explorer. Then try to fin your USB stick. Open the Boot Camp folder and find an Install app, open it and let it run. It’ll probably reboot.
Now with all your drivers installed, most of the stuff on your MacBook will work on Windows now. My friend has some problems with the Bluetooth keyboard, but that was an unofficial keyboard. My Apple one worked perfectly. As did my Logitech wireless mouse.
Now let’s make Windows suck less
Okay, so Windows 8 is obviously the worst interface any person has come across. Like Windows 8 itself actually feels pretty solid, if you get out of that insane box square maze mayhem they call the Start Menu now. It’s insane. Who runs this company? So incredibly stupid to do this. My dad just switched to OSX because he couldn’t understand this Start Screen. Biggest fail of the century.
We have no choice though. We want to play games! Find or replace text excel. So to get your start menu (from old times) back, install Classic Shell.
Then set this image as the start button in preferences:
Yay! Now to disable that stupid Start Screen, right-click on the Task Bar, then click Properties, then click the Navigation tab, then check “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start”, uncheck “When I point to the upper-right corner, show the charms”.
Now install Steam
I’ll let you do this as it’s pretty easy. Go to Steam and the top right click Install Steam.
Then search for GTA V. Click Download.
Here’s the problem, GTA V is 65 GB and that will take awhile. You obviously don’t want to be stuck for hours in Windows. The trick here is to install Parallels in OSX (if you haven’t already). Reboot to OSX (hold ALT/OPTION and select Macintosh HD) and set Parallels up so it uses the Boot Camp partition. Open Parallels, select Boot Camp on the right and follow the instructions:
After installing, try playing GTA V. Customize the graphic settings a bit. You can’t play it on super high settings, but you can go pretty far on a MacBook Pro 15″. Like I said, it has an actually really powerful graphics card, so it can run GTA V fine.
Yay!
Now you can use your Boot Camp partition within OSX with Parallels to download games/software and continue working. Then when it’s finished, reboot to Windows and play your PC games.
It took me awhile to get back into playing games when I did all of this. I mean, it’s like it has to compete with reality, which is already insane for me, and so GTA V felt somewhat “fake” to me for days, until I accepted it was a game, and nothing I did in there would be an actual accomplishment. See, that’s what startup life psychology does to you. And on a serious note, that’s why we should all play more games. Because it helps you get out of your filter bubble.
Going outside to walk your dog? Naaaaaah, why would you! There’s GTA V!

Our GTA Online Nightclub guide for the After Hours DLC will take you through everything you need to do to start one and run it successfully.
With the addition of the GTA Online After Hours DLC, there were a number of new businesses that you can own in the game, one of which is Nightclubs which are a great way of earning money, and also a great place to store some of your vehicles.
GTA Online Nightclub Guide
The option to own a nightclub comes after you have downloaded the GTA After Hours Update. There are 10 different nightclubs that are available to purchase, the main difference really is the location and price. They all have pretty much the same business options and interiors so it’s going to down to how much you want to shell out in cash to buy one and what location suits your game the best.
Here is a rundown of the 10 nightclubs available and their prices.
West Vinewood Nightclub – $1,700,000
Downtown Vinewood Nightclub – $1,670,000
Del Perro Nightclub – $1,645,000
Strawberry Nightclub – $1,525,000
La Mesa Nightclub $1,500,000
Mission Row Nightclub – $1,440,000
Cypress Flats Nightclub – $1,370,000
Vespucci Canals Nightclub – 1,320,000
LSIA Nightclub – $1,135,000
Elysian Island Nightclub – $1,080,000
Changing Nightclub Name
One other thing to note it that you can change the name of the nightclubs at any point, one of the names are free, but the other name changes come at a price:
Omega – for free
Galaxy – $33,500
Gefangnis – $33.500
Maisonette Los Santos – $33,500
Paradise – $33,500
Studio Los Santos – $33,500
Technology – $33,500
The Palace – $33,500
Tony’s Funhouse – $33,500
Nightclub Business
The nightclubs as your first or only business it not such a great option as even when it is at full popularity you’ll only be able to earn the max daily in-game profit of $10k. To maintain the highest level of popularity you have to regularly run promotion missions. You’ll also need to collect the daily profit from the safe yourself. So in terms of it being an efficient way to make money as your first or second business in the game, it’s not that great and will consume too much of your playing time for the return that you get.
However let’s not give up on the idea of a nightclub right away, with our GTA Online Nightclub guide you can learn that it’s great when used in conjunction with other businesses that been unlocked already. Check out the nightclub’s PC management tab to see the kind of things that you can do with your nightclub based on what other businesses you have unlocked.
You’ll find that you can make a tidy daily profit from the nightclub and it’s pretty much hands free.
Nightclub Raids
One unfortunate thing about running a nightclub in GTA Online is that it will get raided, regularly! So basically if you are inactive for 4 hours or have 20% or more available stock stored you run the risk of being raided. You can however opt for the security upgrade and this will double the hours and stock capcity before you get raided.
Your nightclub only runs the risk of being raided if during those 4 (or 8 with the security upgrade) hours you don’t do anything related to game missions.
The security upgrade is definintely something essential for your nightclub if you are aiming to run it as a money making business.
Warehouse Technicians
If you want to use your nightclub in conjunction with other businesses and start producing items, you’ll need technicians. You can up to 5 technicians working in a nightclub and their cost variers from 100k – 300k. Trading journal spreadsheet. Technicians are assigned via the Warehouse Management option. You’ll also need to make sure that your nightclub has enough storage floors for all these techicians, so make sure your number of floors are maxed out to make sure you make the most profit from your nightclub.
After you have added technicians you’ll need to purchase the raw products for them to turn into saleable goods. We recommend that you get the equipment upgrades as this will reduce the production time of itmes.
All in all, if you are maxed out in terms of the number of technicians and they are all producing you can potentially make roughly $40k every hour from the nightclub business.
In addition to this and assuming your nightclub is at full popularity you’ll also be able to withdraw 10k from the safe in the warehouse daily.
Equipment Upgrades
Upgrading your equipment will reduce the time it takes for you to make each product. The initial cost of the upgrade is very expensive, but in the long run, you’ll be producing everything twice as fast, therefore making double profits. This is a no-brainer, and something you should definitely do if you are running your nightclub as a business.
Nightclub Profits
Each of the goods you produce using the nightclub warehouse facility will earn a different level of profit and take a different length of time to complete. While it looks like you are better off just allocating all of your space to just the most profitable product, it’s not really the case because you’ll be stuck when it comes to fulfilling special orders.

Value – $1000
Normal Accrue Time – 30 minutes ($2000/hour)
Upgraded Accrue Time – 15 Minutes ($4000/hour)
Coke comes in as the most profitable business, but you don’t really want to just produce that, keep it varied to help you fulfill special orders.
Selling Goods
This is quite simple, just go the Sell Goods menu and check out the options available. It’s easier to sell everything at once, but it may not always be the best or most profitable option. Check out Special Orders to see if there are any specific requests that you need to fill. Completing these will often give you a bit of a bonus so they are worth looking out for. Another thing to bear in mind is that Gay Tony will want his slice of the pie, so be prepared for him to take a 10% cut of your sales.
Nightclub Storage
When you get your nightclub, it comes with one level of storage, you can upgrade this. We recommend that you max out your storage upgrades, to get an extra 4 levels of storage and 3 10-car garages! What better place to store all of those vehicles that you’ve unlocked that in the back of your very own nightclub!
Even if you don’t decide to run your nightclub as a business, using it as a facility to store your cars is a great option and a cool place to have them all so you can find them easily.
