The new trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV has been released. Entitled 'Looking For That Special Someone', it will take you a little further into their brand new world, Liberty City (their very own version of New York City). The game uses Euphoria, a fully procedural animation package that has been created for them by NaturalMotion. If you dig the track playing out on the trailer it's by a New York based band, The Boggs. It's called 'Arm in Arm (Shy Child Remix)'.

Things get a little weird on deadline. Nick and Muzz get lumped with our editorial and we ask for miracles. Not something that goes down to well.... Best thing we can do is feed them beer and candies, numb them designer brains and let the gold flow. Here is Nick on deadline, using his latest method to get them spreads right, the ski-goggle-effect. Can't see shit, but it seems to work for him so whose to judge? If you thought he looked weird, check out what the printer guys look like. Strewth.

Not one to be shy of the camera is the latest edition to the 4PLAY signature range, Dallas Singer. “We hadn’t figured on Dallas having a signature board this quickly but what can you do when he rides that well”, says Team Manager and Technical Director Reon Fisher. 4PLAY prides itself on having a range of signature rider boards that represents the elite level riders in the sport and Dallas has quickly carved a notch for himself at the top of the game. Dallas landed his second cover in France in 6 months (see attached - riding his new board in Tiger prawn colours). Add that to covers over here in AUS and the kid is going off with more media attention than Paris Hilton and a better driving record... barely....
He may not have the years behind him like Damian King and Andrew Lester but this boy lacks nothing in talent or style. Dallas is one of the leaders of a new generation of riders that is coming through. Almost making it through to the PIPE Finals in Hawaii last season capped of an enourmous season for DALLAS, he has been getting photos in every mag around (even chicks mags... Yeah he is a pretty boy). He has scored numerous editorials and a full section in the latest DVD "LEROY" from the super talented Waldron brothers. Further to that he has just returned from a trip to West Australia filming for the next installment from the Waldrons “Theres no I” where apparently they scored pretty good so keep an eye out for that when it comes out.
"Dallas wanted a board that would suit his aggressive yet fluid style of riding, it also needed to be perfect for his trademark massive inverts so we spent a while fine tuning the template to be just right" says Reon.
"Yeah im really excited to have a signature board this season.." says Dallas. "Working with the 4PLAY guys has been a good learning experience and these boards are great. Last years Pipe contest was really good for me to be able to compete with the top guys in waves like that, I’m looking forward to next years comp".
"Dallas knew what colours he wanted straight away, the "Tiger Prawn" board is really slick!! We also managed to get his sega inspired graphic looking really sweet on the boards, I reckon Dallas's mum must've been playing sega while she was pregnant, cause he loves it!!” Laughs 4PLAY's Design manager, Stracky.

He seemed nice enough but we don't usually post reader-contributed shots, this morning was different though. Like when we bought coffee we got the guy who doesn't burn the milk, and it was just generally one of those days when everything seems to go alright, good parking spots and all that. So if you want to send us some shots for the site go ahead, if we get the good coffee guy then maybe we'll post them. Maybe.

Check this little stop motion clip of the human skateboard, it fully looks like this guy is skating this dude. What you're really watching though, is two dorks with a digi-camera and way too much time. Funny thing is though if everyone keeps viewing this clip, they'll be those two guys on Oprah telling everyone their 'how we became famous on YouTube' story. Jokes on us huh....
