Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



 
It has to be said that Roman Bellic is one of the many joys of Grand Theft Auto IV. His determined optimism and love of beeg American teetees know no bounds, and I find him one of the most likable characters in the game.
 
What better way to enjoy the company of Roman even more than by actually enjoying his company in person? Yes, now YOU can rent a Roman of your very own to call you cousin and talk about the land of opportunity. Watch the above rather brilliant video to find out how.
 
[Thanks Tazar.]

This guys fucking hilarious, and he does a great Jack Nicholson impression.

He's actually a part of the comedy troupe "The Post Show," and you can see a shitload of their skits over at superdeluxe.com

That was great. Also, he looks a LOT like Jack Nicholson... a rather pudgy Jack Nicholson... Especially when he smiles. Freaky..

Dude this guy is great. Not only could I listen to him for hours saying random crap with the Roman voice, he looks so damn much like Jack Nicholson.

Funny stuff. I like the disclaimer at the end saying the promotion has no affiliation with Rockstar or GTAIV, except, ya know, the fact he's one of the main characters in it, haha. Gotta love legal bullshit.

I want to rent him... forever.

I called. It was an outreach center. I chose to donate a vehicle.

When I was transferred to an actual person it was a verrry, very awkward silence.

Funny video, the nosebleed was hilarious, but I won't go beyond calling cousin Roman for anything else other than a cab.
