I logged into my Minecraft server yesterday evening to see a stunning WordPress logo up on a hill. It was created by Thorsten. No it wasn’t. Author remains unknown. I wonder who created it?
I really must get that Minecraft commmentary done so I can show off what he and everyone else created in this world..
If you’ve jailbroken your PS3 then you probably shouldn’t go online until you reverse the jailbreak. Sony has started banning users who use jailbroken PS3 consoles online! The ban is permanent and worldwide.
you cannot use the PlayStation Network with this account (8002a227).
In the old days it was only Microsoft who were banning their users en-masse but now Sony have to do it as well. I wonder if Nintendo will ever do the same thing?
A rather odd (fan made) advert for Minecraft. (via)
And you thought Minecraft wasn’t exciting?
Colin reposted a video by Chuck Bittner, a disabled gamer who is collecting signatures in support of his petition to get game companies to allow remapping of controller buttons.
Here’s the petition and a FAQ about it.
Even if you don’t care about other gamers, then sign it for selfish reasons. If this became a standard (and hell, back in the 80’s you could remap the keys used in almost every game. It’s not rocket science!) then you’ll be able to customize every game you play just the way you like.
I just signed the petition and so have over 40,000 others. If you play games please sign it too.
NyxQuest looks like a fun platformer and the PC/Mac version can be bought for only $1.99 on their website, but only for this week.
I haven’t played it yet but at that price it’s a no-brainer and I’m looking forward to trying it later, especially after seeing the positive reaction to the Nintendo Wii version on Metacritic.
Minecraft was used to propose marriage! Shame about the creeper..
The most excellent World of Goo is only $0.99 on the iPad today. Go get it! NOW! Do! Don’t delay! Unless you don’t have an iPad.
TNT in Minecraft can be very useful, and not just for blowing up huge holes in the ground! (see here too)
A single block of TNT takes out an 8×8 cube of blocks. Burrow into a cube, plant that TNT and step back and you clear away stuff at a decent rate! You’ll want to read this wiki page on the subject too!
Paul posted the launch video for a new Battlefield clan, Bravo 2 Company, I’ve joined him in the clan and next time I fire up Bad Company 2 I’m changing my clan tag to B2C. Haven’t played an FPS in ages though, I’ve been too engrossed (and exhausted in the evenings) in Minecraft.
Check out the clan homepage where you can register and join up if the want!
