USS Enterprise-D Rebuilt In ‘Minecraft’ at 1:6 Scale, Doesn’t Let Its Small Size Get In The Way
“That’s a negative, Worf!”
Star Trek’s Next Generation is my jam, but Minecraft is, too! What a conflict of interest! No longer! We now have a finished version of Picard’s Enterprise-D at one-sixth scale, wrapped in an elaborate texture pack to complete the illusion.

Rockstar Releases ‘Grand Theft Auto’ Soundtracks To Spotify, iTunes
Okay, you’ll still need to exercise some discretion when finding the official albums, but they’re not hard to find.
I don’t know if you ever looked inside your Grand Theft Auto IV case beyond merely retrieving the disc, but that instruction manual? It has a lot of credits. Like, tons and tons and tons and tons. A huge chunk of them are for all the licensing they had to pull off to get as many songs into the game as they did, literally a soundtrack per radio station in the game. Rockstar just unveiled their soundtracks for purchase or streaming on iTunes and Spotify respectively, but you’ll find, as I did, a few too many missing memories.

Amazon Bribes Would-Be Kindle Fire Developers With New Virtual ‘Amazon Coins’
Oh great.
It seems odd at a time when Microsoft is rumored to be ditching their fictitious and consumer-unfriendly Points system in favor of hard currency, Amazon is ready to step on with their own surrogate payment system.

Of course, they’re promising some great things for app developers.

CityVille And Other Facebook/Social Games Need A New Genre: The MOMCOT
CityVille is a MOMCOT.
With the rise of Facebook and other social games, mostly strategy titles, like CityVille, War Commander, and Cafe World, we’ve encountered a new breed of game that’s never existed before, one that pines for your dollars in ways never before seen or lets you live with waiting hours for a vital resource to recharge so you can continue to play the game. We’ve come up with so many different ways to brand them, but nothing so distinctive as to accurately pinpoint what kind of a game they are until you’ve already invested far too much time – or potentially given out your credit card number. From the same guy who brought you the November Release Death Schedule – or NeRDS – to describe the onslaught of games during the holiday comes MOMCOT, the new name for what we commonly call Zynga-likes.

You mean it’s not another retread of an already old plot device? Wow!

Kik Messenger Hits 50M Users, Doesn’t Give An Eff About The Competition

Kik Messenger filled in and we’ve been using it ever since. A mere five months after adding app “cards” to their messenger to share sketches (usually of poop and butts) and videos, Kik is now reporting they’ve hit 50 million users.
