Groot’s Dancing Ain’t So Family Friendly In GTA
The joys of mods: they have the power to ruin, yet paradoxically improve the things you love. Here’s a GTA IV mod by indirivacua, played here by YouTuber taltigolt, which takes Guardians of the Galaxy’s Groot, and lets him loose on Liberty City. Groot goes on to terrorize GTA, and even takes a quick pitstop…

Despite Rumors, Grand Theft Auto V‘s PC Version Not Canceled
Late last week word began to circulate that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V was in big trouble because “Rockstar never wanted to release a PC version.” This led irate fans to, among other things, hack a marketing firm’s website. Rockstar, however, says our precious PC version is safe and sound. The original…

The Ridiculous Things You Can Do With GTA Online‘s New Plane
“Use the eject button to look like a fabulous dolphin.” This all comes from Grand Theft Auto Online‘s new Flight School update, which just dropped yesterday. It brought with it the popular new Besra jet (with shenanigan-friendly cockpit karate chop action), new planes, new modes, new missions, and a whole host of smaller tweaks and…

‘The World’s Worst Grand Theft Auto V Stunt Montage’
Their words, not ours. Yeah, yep, those were… pretty bad. But then, in a world where pretty much every possible amazing GTA V stunt has already been done, I suppose this is all that’s left. It’s a solid gag, even if it goes on approximately a hundred years too long. Watch and chuckle. Or perhaps…

Now that’s what I call retro gaming. One inventive soul hooked up new (and new-ish) games like Watch Dogs and Grand Theft Auto V to a TV set from the 1970’s, and the results look surprisingly cool. This gives the hipster in me so many ideas… imgur via Reddit

Modders Add A Zombie Apocalypse To GTA Online
Who knows, maybe Rockstar will add zombie DLC to GTA Online—but modders aren’t waiting around for it to drop. Instead, they’re going ahead and just adding zombies into the game themselves. While there are a few floating around on the web, this particular zombie outbreak mod comes from Chr0m3xMoDz. It’s not the most elaborate, fleshed-out…

If the Civil War Happened in GTA V
Most of the mini-movies players make inside of Grand Theft Auto V are filled with goofy jokes or amazing stunts. Not this one. This one recreates a little snippet of the American Civil War. And it’s not funny at all. The folks in GTA Online‘s BranberryMuffin crew gathered to tell the tale of three brothers…

Players Turned A GTA Online Glitch Into A Deadly Game
Players find new ways to create chaos in Grand Theft Auto all the time—and glitches can definitely be a part of that. Take, for example, this weird grenade launcher glitch in GTA Online. Turns out, if you punch a car while holding a grenade launcher, it will explode in a random number of hits. Folks…

Huge Terminator 2 Game Does Not Exist, Which Is A Damn Shame
Yes there are actual Terminator 2 games, most of them (arcade gun game excepted) garbage. This, sadly, is not one of them. Instead, it makes use of mods to turn Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas into…machinima? Art? Either way, it’s one long love letter to James Cameron’s 1991 classic. This was actually released last year,…

Earlier this week, we wrote about the Reaper Lords—afascinatingcrew with hundreds of members that roam the streets of GTA Online.

The Sopranos‘ Opening, Remade In Grand Theft Auto V
Tony Soprano and his family might not live on the West Coast, but 8-bit Bastard‘s remake of the classic opening of the show in Grand Theft Auto V makes me want to load up the original again. This time Tony’s not driving from New York to his home in New Jersey, but from Los Santos…

Hey, It’s Spider-Man Swinging Through Grand Theft Auto IV
Until Grand Theft Auto V comes out for PC (soon!) and starts getting modded, we’re going to have to be satisfied with GTA IV mods. That means no West Coast Avengers dashing through San Andreas just yet. Nope. For now, we’ve got Spider-Man swinging through Rockstar’s New York. This mod comes to us via GTA…

Inside The World of GTA Online’s Intense Biker Gangs
Of course people playing GTA Online have formed digital gangs—the “crews” feature, which allows everyone to assign special roles and ranks within a group, is practically built for this. But damn, some people take crews in GTA Online really seriously. Take the Reaper Lords, for example. They are a biker gang that only exists inside…

GTA Online Glitch Lets You Walk on Water
Bugs in the online component of Grand Theft Auto V have let players walk underwater before. Now, a new glitch lets them amble over Los Santos’ bodies of water. As documented by YouTuber Big Spaz, the glitch looks simple enough to replicate. It doesn’t let you heal the lame or resurrect the dead but you’ll…

In GTA Online, Today Is Basically ‘America, F*** Yeah’ Day
In many places in the United States today, the Independence Day holiday will be marked by solemn speeches and somber remembrances about what it means to be American. Not in Los Santos. Folks in GTA Online have already started driving monster trucks, shooting guns and firing off their fireworks. Looks like fun! Rockstar dropped their…

GTA Online Music Video Is About Getting Rich. Of Course.
What else is there to do in Los Santos, really? A hit Pet Shop Boys song gets the GTA Online treatment in this machinima music video from YouTubers Vader2K and TK7554. Something about the long shots of suited-up dudes walking and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous-style glamour pans reads as very 1980s to me.…

Please Don’t Ever Fix the Physics In Grand Theft Auto V
Nine months after release and Grand Theft Auto V is still pregnant with ridiculously impressive stunt potential. In the latest from Nomad Union, absolute insanity happens. I’ve actually put my Grand Theft Auto V plans on hold, pending the release of the PC version of the game. I see a video like this, imagine what…
