PC Grand Theft Auto V Evidence?

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.

Godus Early Access

Steam News announces that early access is now available for Godus, the upcoming 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!

Out of the Blue

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.
