We do know that some of you were disappointed with GTA V’s absence from yesterday’s Take-Two conference. A lot of gamers believed that we could be getting a release date, but as you may have guessed, that never happened. And even though Rockstar has already stated that GTA V won’t be present at this year’s GamesCom, something is definitely going on in the background. How we know that? Well thanks to the Epsilon Program Website – a website that is home to the biggest religious cult in San Andreas – that was recently updated.

Valve has made some changes to its Subscriber Agreement (you know, the agreement you quickly pass on when you’re registering for an account on Steam) and to be honest, we’re a bit shocked with some of them. With this new Agreement, Valve disallows class action claims, but still allows individual claims. What worries us here is the fact that Valve has managed to neuter large-scale cases from Steam users, particularly ones that might arise if the service were to ever shut down or block a mass number of users from playing a game they’d paid for. In other words, this new Agreement further proves that you’re basically renting your games on Steam. You don’t own anything. Not only that but if you decide not to agree to Valve’s binding arbitration clause, you lose all your games.

Boris Vorontsov, creator of ENBSeries, has been working on a new effect for Skyrim called ‘Sky Lighting.’ Sky Lighting is basically a fake ambient occlusion effect that is introducied to Skyrim but according to the modder, the default Skyrim ambient colors are set wrong and look awful with this new effect “sky lighting” (fake ambient occlusion) of ENBSeries. That’s why Boris released a new mod for those using his ENBSeries mod of Skyrim – called Weather of ENBSeries – that can be downloaded from here. In addition, Boris released two screenshots to show off this new, graphical effect, that can be viewed below. Enjoy!

GTA IV’s modding community is importing to Rockstar’s sandbox game literally everything. After Portal 2’s bots, here comes Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse. This mod/custom character is created by modder ‘indirivacua’ and can be downloaded from here. You can also find a video from it below. Be warned though – this is a violent Mickey Mouse, meaning that he’s using guns and shoots at people. In other words, this mod might destroy your childhood. Just don’t watch it when your kids are around. Yes, it’s a taboo thing and should not exist in this time and age, but you never know, right? Enjoy!
