GTA IV on PC: Cover created by the author
I had signed up for some kind of alert on Google Alerts, and finally therewas some good news: Grand Theft Auto IV is being released on PC, apparently due out on 18 November 2008. That’s certainly getting marked down on my calendar.

I wonder if the graphics are going to get any better. After being spoiled by my Blackbird 002, I went back on the couch for some Xbox 360 GTA IV while I was waiting for my tomato sauce to heat up the meatballs. I realized that the graphics just really weren’t that great. Everything looked so fuzzy compared to what I’m now used to.

I’m mostly looking forward to GTA IV on the PC for the mods though. Cleaner graphics would be nice, but a mod that lets you join Liberty City’s finest would be awfully fun. Playing on the other side of the law would be fun as well: perhaps there would be a gang mod of some sort. I’ll have to see if there are any advantages to the PC version before I go and buy it at full price: I’ve already purchased the Xbox 360 Limited Edition.In other news, Gmail is down with a 502 error at the moment. I always envisioned that Gmail would be reliable, but apparently not.Also, I’m currently working on an article. I have to find Unfaithful and Eyes Wide Shut. I shouldn’t have got rid of those movies after I was done watching them…
