I often come home to find my boyfriend with 10 tabs open on his browser filled with various treasures he’d found on the Internet throughout the day that he thought I would enjoy. I cringe at the fail compilations and laugh at the cute animal videos, but one day he showed me the absolute gem I’d been waiting for: The skirt that looked like a Nintendo controller made by Go Chase Rabbits. Not N64, not SNES, but the original NES … Continue reading

Although I’d love to sit around and play video games all day, I have to make an income somehow. I do that by working at a very unique company in the market research world in a very unique situation. Most of my co-workers are located in Spain, working 9 hours ahead in time. One particular co-worker has had to stay up late on multiple, consecutive nights, ignoring the wonderful nightlife in Madrid, to program some landing page or extra parameter … Continue reading
We’ve all seen Disney’s version of Robin Hood and how annoying King John was sucking his thumb while rationalizing that stealing everything from his citizens was okay. That bratty lion would take his citizen’s life savings for his own use, such as stuffing his mattress and pillows with bags of gold coins before bed.

Las Vegas was great, Minecon was all right (could have been better)…but what people don’t know is about Steve’s down and dirty night on the Las Vegas Strip. Here’s the real story about how Steve enjoyed his time in Sin City. Needless to say, Steve was a little … Continue reading
Joel Levin has become well known in the Minecraft community as the “Minecraft Teacher.” He is the reason teachers and schools have implemented Minecraft Educational Programs in schools across America. In fact, he is developing a new project with the help of Mojang to make almost like a white label of the game for the education sector.

Minecraft has officially been launched by Notch and the Mojang team at Minecon in Las Vegas. I literally had to sprint to get my seat in the 10th row back from the stage and must say, it was well worth it! Minecraftchick, Mojang’s “Director of Fun,” emcee-ed the 90 minute launch in front of 5,000 players at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Check out this video of the launch! The Minecraft Pocket Edition was also announced at the launch, and … Continue reading
We made it. Treepunch and I have been in Vegas since 9:30am and things are GOOD! We had a lot of time to kill today and ended up getting temporary Creeper tattoo’s on our wrist so we can look even more awesome when we meet Notch tomorrow. As for Minecon Day One: We just picked up our Minecon tickets and are ready for tomorrow. Our cute little Creeper Backpacks have paper doll Steve’s and creepers as well as a Minecraft … Continue reading

Here is a video I did on the difference between a ‘creative-survival’ and an ‘anarchy’ Minecraft server. With the help of ‘treepunch’ from Treepunch and ‘zerg960′ from Kreatious, see what kind of server you’d like to play on. Game on, players. Tweet
