Yesterday we got the house started, so today – I figured we could go ahead and put a roof on it. It might be a little stereotypical to put in a skylight (seems like everybody does it). However, I jump on the band wagon and do the same. Let me know your thoughts on how the house is shaping up and remember to subscribe on YouTube if you want to see more Minecraft shenanigans from me!

Minecraft World Wallpaper
It has been a while since I have featured any wallpaper here, so while I browse through the internet looking for something to decorate my desktop with, I found this:
Yes, more Minecraft wallpaper! I kind of wish the game would allow you to live on a planet like this – it reminds me of a mix of Minecraft and Super Mario Galaxy as a mater of fact.
This Minecraft World wallpaper can be download over at wallchan.com.
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 – 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.
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.
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?
Greatest Wallpaper of the Past 365 Days
Over the past year, I have reviewed a lot of fantastic wallpaper. So I thought today, rather than looking forward at a new wallpaper to download, we might take a look back at some of the best wallpaper that has been featured on Mitchelaneous in the last 365 days.
Top 10 Popular Posts of 2010
I have written about a lot this year. From great wallpaper to superb marketing tips, this blog has served as a catch all for my interests that do not fit into either of my other websites. I hope you have enjoyed the Mitchelaneous journey I have taken you on throughout 2010 and I figured there is no better way to look back at the best than to give you the top 10 most popular posts I’ve written in the past year.
Have a Wii Party
While looking for more group-based games for the Wii, I stumbled upon Wii Party. As long as you don’t set your expectations too high – this is a great group-based game for the Wii. Like the Mario Party games before it, it is meant to be played with a large group of people rather than by yourself, and will take you through several types of games to play – with a few mini games thrown in for good measure.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow didn’t have to work too hard to beat the last free roaming 3D Castlevania adventure I remember, Castlevania 64. This most recent reboot of the Castlevania series far surpasses that mess, and actually delivers a really awesome game. Now, some Castlevania traditionalist might miss the old look and feel of the other Castlevania games, but I like the fact they are trying a different approach.
