Rockstar Games has officially announced Grand Theft Auto 5 as the next game in the award-winning video game series. The announcement came in suitably mysterious style. Logging on to the Rockstar’s websiteleads to the above image … and not much else. Eagle eyes will notice the game’s trailer is set to hit on Nov. 2. Rockstar is also promoting the hashtag #GTAV to build social buzz.
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) gained tremendous acclaim — and a fair bit of notoriety — for its violent, open-world gameplay. Players can steal cars, kill innocents and rise in the ranks of local mafias and gangs. Grand Theft Auto is largely credited with popularizing open-world gameplay where players can deviate from a central plot to take on side tasks like driving a taxi, mini-games or simply wandering a digital city. Grand Theft Auto 5 will be the first GTA game since 2008′s Grand Theft Auto 4, which followed an Eastern European immigrant’s rise to power in New York City Liberty City.
With the announcement of Grand Theft Auto 5, the “Internet” has gone into high gear trying to make predictions about the game. The “5″ is clearly designed to resemble a paper bill but cash has always played a huge role in the GTA games.
Some are guessing GTA5 might be based in Hollywood though that, along with similar speculation, is more of a wish than a fact. http://mashable.com/2011/10/25/grand-theft-auto-5/

A Travesty of musical justice has occurred
A word of warning to all musical artists out there, be very very careful who you give your music to!
You may find that submitting your music for one purpose could lead to it being used for something else entirely, Like a satanic ritual (just kidding), and without your permission, or without following the correct procedures. So guard your precious hard work with your life!

Stock markets around the world rallied after the US Federal Reserve said US interest rates would be frozen for the next two years, and hinted at more economic stimulus to stave off a global recession.
The FTSE 100 in London climbed 64 points to 5229 in early trading, up 1.25%, This added to Tuesday's gains, when the index rose 96 points or 1.9%, its first increase in eight days, in anticipation of Fed measures designed to prevent the US economy sliding back into recession. The Dow Jones industrial average surged nearly 430 points to 11239.77, a gain of almost 4%, on Tuesday, a day after suffering its worst point decline since 2008.
Asian markets also rose, with Japan's Nikkei climbing 94.26 points, or 1.05%, to 9038.74 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 495.16 points, or 2.56%, to 19,825.86.
The Fed lowered interest rates near zero in response to the financial crisis in 2008. Since then, it had been saying that rates would stay low for an "extended period". On Tuesday, it modified that statement to say that this would continue until at least mid-2013, as the economy was expected to stay weak for two more years.
America's central bank said it expected "a somewhat slower pace of recovery over coming quarters than it did at the time of the previous meeting". It added that it had discussed "the range of policy tools" it could use to boost the economy. There is speculation that this could include a fresh round of bond-buying, known as quantitative easing, or QE3.
"If there is such a thing as an aggressively dovish approach that's the route the Fed chose yesterday," said Gary Jenkins, head of fixed income research at Evolution Securities. Paul Dales, senior US economist at Capital Economics, said: "The US Fed's decision to pledge to keep interest rates exceptionally low for much longer than previously is largely a symbolic gesture designed to reassure the financial markets rather than boost the real economy. More interesting is that the Fed considered other forms of policy stimulus, perhaps even QE3. The chances of QE3 have increased a bit, but the rebound in core inflation and the growing division at the Fed mean it is more likely to come next year than this year."
For all the TWILIGHT groupies...

AMY Winehouse may have been dead for up to six hours before her body was discovered lying in bed.
The star last spoke to her security team six hours before she was found at home in Camden, North London, and medics said she'd been dead for several hours, The Sun reports.
And police sources told the paper there was no evidence of drugs in her apartment.
The paper also reported Winehouse was given the all-clear when her doctor examined her the night before her death.
Another source told The Sun: "The doctor was happy with her condition. When he left on Friday night he had no concerns."
Security guard Andrew Morris found Winehouse's body about 4pm local time, the report said.
Earlier, Sunday tabloids in the UK claimed Winehouse was seen buying drugs from a dealer in Camden just after 10.30pm. It was claimed she bought narcotics including cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine.
But the singer's family labelled the claims "nonsense", The Sun reported.
A post-mortem is being carried out today to reveal the exact cause of death.
Winehouse's heartbroken mother thought her daughter's death was "only a matter of time" when they met just 24 hours before she died.
"She seemed out of it," her mother, Janis, said. "But her passing so suddenly still hasn't hit me."
Winehouse's mother said she instead preferred to cling for comfort to her daughter's own parting words at the end of an enjoyable day they had spent together on Friday.
As the pair kissed on the doorstep, Amy told her, "I love you, Mum".
"They are the words I will always treasure and always remember Amy by," she said.
Last night, Amy's father Mitch, who famously predicted she would die if she failed to quit drink and drugs, said he was devastated by her death but has vowed not to crack up for Amy's sake.
On a jazz tour in New York, Mr Winehouse said: "I'm coming home. I have to be with Amy. I can't crack up for her sake. My family need me."
Winehouse won international acclaim with her albums Frank and Back to Black.
She won a clutch of prizes, including five Grammys in 2008, and was best known for the single Rehab.
