The next Minecraft update brings achievements and weather effects. Looks good, but odd going from rain to snow and back again. Still working on it I see. (via)

Akismet Asteroids
Akismet, the anti comment spam service run by Automattic recently announced that they had stopped 25 billion spam messages.
It’s quite an achievement of course and worth worth celebrating with a game of Asteroids. I’ll let you find the game yourself, it’s not hard to do so! 🙂
Painkiller!
No, not the podcast, but a Polish game released in 2004 and it’s on gog.com now. Yesterday it was priced at $3.99 and I jumped at the chance after watching the Zero Punctuation review and a couple of Youtube gameplay videos. Looks very old school like Quake, Doom or Serious Sam!
It’s back to $9.99 now however.
Battlefield 3 news coming tomorrow
Two days ago a Battlefield 3 PR event was held in London according to this thread but you won’t be hearing about it until tomorrow as there’s a news embargo until then and I guess nobody is as big as Techcrunch so they won’t break it. Nevertheless…
Ok, so they didnt let us near the machines to play it as its pre-alpha code (and even in the demo it crashed occasionally).
Also, they wouldnt talk about certain aspects. (boooo)
And they have embargoed the whole world from talking about until the 8th (Friday). So, until then, all I can really say is “wow… it looks awesome and I seriously think I might play this”.
I have answers to some of your questions but they were quite tight lipped but I’ll tell you what I know come Friday.
DeV.
Keep an eye on the Battlefield forum at boards.ie tonight then!
