I’m not going to lie to you guys today. It’s a slow news day. The yanks have wheeled out war veterans to tell all the kids on Facebook that they’ll never be as great as them, and any work on video games right now is practically non-existent. Which left us with time to do some research. Research that led us to a shocking discovery. Tinfoil hats, ACTIVATE!
Take a look at the cover for recent Grand Theft Auto games, from the third core title onwards. Notice something eerily familiar? No, not the universal cover design. I’m talking about the helicopters. See for yourself. Here’s one in Grand Theft Auto 3:
And Vice City:
San Andreas:
Liberty City and Vice City Stories:
Grand Theft Auto 4:
The expansion pack cover for Episodes from Liberty City:
Hell, even the latest GTA game has submitted to the aviation conspiracy:
Is Rockstar secretly in cahoots with helicopter manufacturers, as they further an agenda to make air-based travel via smaller and more manoeuvrable vehicles into a monopoly at the expense of airlines? And why did Chinatown Wars use a motorcycle instead of a chopper?
The answer to all that, is maybe. And also, jernalizms!

Though I must admit, on a keyboard and mouse it was semi hard to fly, it would’ve been cool if the flying was made easier like they did in the old battlefield games. None the less, still damn fun.

You want a conspiract theory? Something just dawned on me about our dear friend Mr Molyneux’s Cube reward/prize/PR stunt/hoax/disappointment, Godus was Kickstarted right?
So what would have been in the centre of the Cube if Godus wasn’t Kickstarted? Or was Godus always going to be funded somehow and Peter decided they needed to get some extra cash so that he can make his next disappointment his greatest yet? The mysteries……….
