Warning, Will Robinson: CNN reports that North Korea unveiled what appeared to be a submarine-launched ballistic missile yesterday at a night time military parade in Pyongyang, the capital. And yes, KIM JONG UN was there as well. Not a good sign, since KIM has said things in the past like "No matter who is in power in the US, the true nature and the true spirit of the anti-North Korea policy will never change," Kim said Saturday. "The development of nuclear weapons will be pushed forward without interruption."

But that could be ending, since rumors are hitting the internet that not only is a sixth version coming, but that you'll also be able to play as a woman --something that's never been possible before. The folks at Rockstar Games, however, have not said anything about sequel, but we'll see.
