This weekend I finally got to play around with an idea that has been in the back of my head for a while now, doing a “Let’s Play” video in Minecraft. I have become a big fan of some of the more popular YouTube series based around Minecraft, so I thought I might try doing it myself. What you see here is more of a trial/test video to see if there is any interest from you in me doing more of these and also a test to see if I’d like to do more of them myself.

4 Best Minecraft Series
Thanks to my addiction of playing Minecraft, I have found a lot of good (and some not so good) video series on YouTube based around the mining adventure game. So, with a little free time on my hands I thought I would share with you some of my favorites video series I have stumbled upon the last few months.
Digging Terraria
Ready for another game where you dig, build and explore? Terraria is by far much more than just a Minecraft-like game. The developers behind it take the idea of exploring and building and put their own unique twist on it that makes it an enjoyable game to play.
Nintendo 3DS – Launch Games
Continuing my initial thoughts on the new Nintendo 3DS, I thought I might also mention a quick note about the launch title games I decided to pick up. I got Steel Diver, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, and Pilotwings Resort. Not to say the other launch games didn’t interest me – however these three seemed to offer the most unique experiences so I wanted to give them a shot first.
Nintendo 3DS – First Impressions
The long wait is over, finally got my Nintendo 3DS yesterday, and have played around with it for a few hours. So, with that said – I am not a master of the technology just yet, but I thought it might be fun to give you some of my first impressions of the interesting little device.
Play Katamari in Your Browser
Want to play a little Katamari in your browser? I have found a bookmarklet that will turn any webpage into a quick game of Katamari Damacy. For those of you not familiar with that game, you play as a little guy who rolls a ball around, and the larger the ball gets, the bigger stuff he can pick up.
Minecraft 101 with Coe’s Quest
I have been playing a lot of Minecraft lately. It is an awesome little game, that can be very addictive if you are into the idea of surviving in a world all by yourself and building this, that and the other just because you can. However, jumping into Minecraft with no guide at all might be a little intimidating to some. Thankfully though I have found a great tutorial series by a man named Coe that will help guide you through the world of Minecraft.
Tetris Powered by HTML5
Want to take a look at what HTML5 can do? Not only is it able to give us slicker user interfaces and more tools when it comes to setting up websites, it can also be used to develop really awesome Tetris clones. Ok, Torus might be a little ‘bit more than your average Tetris clone because it sports a nifty 3D interface.
Super Nintendo Retro Review
Here recently I have been playing games like it the mid-90s all over again. How? Well, I thought it was about time I bought myself a replacement Super Nintendo. My old SNES bit the dust the last time I tried plugging it in (it served me well) so this time I picked up one of the newer models – well as new as a system built in 1997 can be.
Minecraft
I found a new obsession this weekend, and it’s name is Minecraft.
Minecraft, simply put, is a game where you go around building things for fun. If you want to go out and build a 400 foot monument to yourself, go for it. If you want to go dig a house out of a mountain, you can do that too. From what I have seen there really is no right or wrong way to play the game. You pretty much sit down, figure out your goal and do it.
At the core of the game, you gather resources to make things. For example, when you start out – you can go punch a tree down. Yes, this is as awesome as it sounds. You can then gather the pieces of wood to craft something else. You might make a crafting table, so then you can create a pick axe. With the pick axe, you can start mining for coal to make your torches. Then you can build a shovel to dig faster in the dirt. Before you know it, you will have an entire fort built for yourself with animals randomly spawning in your second floor (as you can see from the picture above).
You can download this amazing little game and play it again and again for only about $20 or so (technically, If you pre-purchase now during beta, you pay €14.95!) My entire Sunday was lost in Minecraft and I am sure more productivity will go down the drain soon. How else will I finish my 200 foot tall stone badger monument?
