As many readers are no doubt keenly aware, we are—as of today—two weeks out from the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. To celebrate its impending conquest of the collective attention economy, Rockstar has released a launch gallery of new GTA 6 screenshots showcasing the breadth and color of simulated life in Vice City.

Totaling 39 new screenshots, the launch gallery has a bit of everything: It's got night life, it's got wildlife, and—most importantly—it's got plenty of protagonists Jason and Lucia holding guns and making their serious 'I am involved in violent crime' faces. You gotta have those.

Of that bunch, I'm particularly interested in the screenshot of a gun-toting, tactical-geared Jason seemingly having stepped off a military aircraft and into a firefight, because there appears to be a dog in the background equipped with its own combat gear. Could Jason and Lucia get access to their very own D-Dog? At this point, we can only guess.

Vice City being Vice City, the launch gallery features plenty of partying, showing off dance clubs, dockside dive bars, heavy drinkers, and general debaucherists of all ages. Including your Margaritaville types.

Rockstar took the opportunity to flaunt the variety of its Florida Man representation, revealing all sorts of colorful individuals worthy of the mythology. In one screenshot, a scarred man with heterochromia has two varieties of dead reptile within arm's length. In another, Jason is menaced by a sort of knife-wielding human mullet. Even the cops are a form of Florida Man: There aren't many places nowadays where you can flaunt that sort of moustache/aviator combo without a hint of irony.
