Race for the Wool: My OTB is open for bizness

Hello sports fans. I’m not feeling well so I apologize in advance for the following nonsense. This is indeed another Minecraft post, however it is not a post in the traditional sense. One of the more novel experiences in the game of Minecraft is the creation of games within the game. Early on in development [...]

Minecraft: It’s here, but is it truly finished?

Friday is a big day. It marks the 93rd anniversary of the end of the Great War, it is the release of a horror film I really don’t care about, and  it’s the official release date for Minecraft. But Enosh, haven’t you been posting about Minecraft for like a year now? Ah, yes but if [...]

Minecraft: I’m bored with dogs, lighting and pistons

So, I love Minecraft. There is no disputing this. Notch made an awesome game. He’s focusing on the adventuring aspect of the game now. This could become the most important part of the game so it deserves his full attention as the “week after 11/11/11″ launch date creeps ever closer. The trouble is he has [...]

Reddit: Great for Minecraft, hit or miss for comics

I’m new to Reddit. I wasn’t there in the beginning and I don’t know anything about its purported decline. I have no dog in that fight. After a few weeks of fiddling around with the site I have found it surprisingly addicting. Though I suppose I should not be as surprised as I was. After [...]

Terraria: More like Metroidcraft

Okay, fine, I admit it.  I have an unhealthy addiction to infinite sandbox games.  Plop me down in front of a totally sweet building/digging  world and leave it just open-ended enough to guarantee that there’s no real end to it, and I’ll sink countless hours building imaginary worlds and blowing up as much as the [...]

Minecraft: Yes, it’s still an awesome game

So for those of you keeping score at home, you may have noticed I haven’t done a game review in quite some time. Like the middle of November. That’s because during that time span I’ve only played one game. Well, there were a few days in there where I finally downloaded the RDR zombie expansion [...]

Boxer Hockey: The worst of friends play the weirdest of games

Enosh is busy putting the finishing touches on his submission for Notch’s Minecraft texture pack contest this week, so I offered to do double duty this week.  He’s been working on it pretty non stop since the contest was announced, and seems rabid obsessed with finishing his custom texture pack to make his reproduction of [...]

Minecraft: The best incomplete 8-bit game ever

As I’ve mentioned before, I grew up a naive PC gamer. I was partial to the LucasArts games, Day o f the Tentacle, X-wing, and the like. There’s  nothing like a machine with more input buttons than letters in the alphabet. Not to mention the PC was high-definition with full anti-aliasing before it was cool. [...]
