Minecraft 1.2 is OUT!

Granted this is the first Minecraft Update I've been excited about in a long time, but the list of features that have been added to the game is amazing! Now you can build twice as high, there's stone golems, and it goes on!

Who's the Strongest Character in Video Games?

Minecraft guy can sprint with 11k tons on his back, Doom got nothing on him!

The inspiration for this one was a thread on reddit about how the Doom guy was the strongest character in video games for sprinting at 50kmph or so, while carrying several hundred kg of gear. I beg to differ. :P

Breakfast at Tiffany's, Minecraft and Sci-Fi: An Update

Truman Capote is one of my favourite authors so I got the audiobook to Breakfast at Tiffany's. I'm thinking of doing a joint review of the book and movie later on.


Also working on the Minecraft series. I love how Minecraft allows you to improvise and recreate any setting of a movie/novel/etc. So more experiments will follow ;)


Also some Sci-Fi Movies I'd like to review:
Blade Runner
2001 A Space Odyssey
History of the World: Part 1
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Dune


I'm going to be watching some of those movies for the first time, others I've already seen, but I think it's gonna be fun to re-watch. Tell me if you have any more ideas that would fit the general theme. 

Minecraft Video Update 02

Here's another video of the progress on the series. From this one it should be pretty obvious which Von Trier movie it is ;) 

Minecraft Video Update

The second part of the series is taking a bit longer than expected but here's some idea of the progress and a small challenge. ;)

Can you guess the set of which Lars Von Trier movie I'm building right now. Let me know in the comments. 

Cubichrist: A Minecraft Lars Von Trier Parody

Here's the first video of the Minecraft series. I wanted to do something simple to test out the new youtube settings, since I haven't used it in a while as well as the recording/sound etc. Enjoy ;)


This may be a bit duifficult to appreciate for non-fans of the director, but let's just say his movies always start with classical music and feel a bit weird to watch. 


Parts 2,3,4 will be covering the actual movie, throughout this week. I don't think I'm going to stick to the plot at all, which should be even more fun to make, and hopefully to watch. :D Let's see where this goes.

Coffee with Minecraft: an Update

Now, Minecraft is a game I used to be majorly addicted to when I started out. Nowadays I don't play as much, and generally I like to play around in Creative mode, building mob traps and such for the fun of it. I'm thinking though since it's a good platform to knock ones self out with creativity, and since I've wanted to start a youtube channel to complement the blog, I'd like to start with a series on Minecraft. So I wanted to ask you what would you like to see in a Minecraft series. 



I'll leave you to think about it with this amazing ASCII art of a creeper I've just made:
