A
thread on reddit based on information on 4Chan points to information
allegedly found in the leaked Xbox 360 edition of Grand Theft Auto V
suggesting there is code already in place for an eventual PC port of the open
world action sequel (thanks
Blend Games). They link to a Pastebin
dump of an XML config file showing setting for the PC as well as the
PlayStation 4. This is all unconfirmed, though the number of GTA5 stories on
this site show our confidence that Grand Theft Auto V will not be the first
installment in this series that skips the PC.

Steam News announces
that early access is now available for

god game from 22Cans and Populus creator Peter Molyneux. Here's word on the
release: "Well here it is, Early Access Beta of GODUS. First of all thank you
for downloading the game. Our reason for using early access is so that we can
get as many of you to play the game and for us to learn from what you enjoy and
hate. In that way over the coming months develop GODUS into a GREAT game, that
is our passion!" And here's word on how this is "not just a new
game": GODUS is a great idea made in a culture of openness and
co-operation. All along we've shared our passion as the worlds, the people and
the godly powers have been developed and honed. We've received imaginative
ideas, passion and support back many times over. GODUS isn't just a new game,
it's a new way of making games. We're loving the process and hope you will join
us!

It's an all football weekend at the BlueTower, as we headed up to West Point
yesterday to watch Army play Stanford, which was not as ugly as it could have
been considering it was an unranked team versus the number five team in the
nation. A cool thing was that John Elway was there on the sidelines watching his
alma mater intensely. John gets to save on travel time this week, as he won't
have to go far today to see his Broncos in the Manning Bowl #3. Here's hoping
the weekend turns out to be a split for him.
