Still Playing Minecraft: Trial of the Amiaba Ruins – Part 3!

That’s right everyone we are still playing Trial of the Amiaba Ruins. The fun still hasn’t stopped as we make our way through the final areas before the finale. Nick gets me back by lighting me on fire, we give up on a puzzle and play baseball with each others bodies. You don’t want to miss what we get ourselves into this time.

Hotmail Gains Outlook View, Doesn’t Quite Win Over This Gmail Fan

Microsoft wouldn’t come out and say it, but Hotmail is becoming Outlook; a Metro-themed extravaganza without much of Hotmail’s muchness. The new Outlook web portal eschews most of the crap that had been caked onto Hotmail over the years, especially after their Live services launch years back. The new look is fantastic, if perhaps simplistic to the point of being barren (something that underserves the sophistication of Microsoft’s products at times) and comes with a clean Messenger client and Skype calling right in the panel. If I still used Hotmail regularly, this would probably be the best news ever. But I don’t.

World Of Warcraft – How It Has Almost Killed MMO Gaming

World Of Warcraft, the MMO Juggernaut which was created by Blizzard all those years ago is one of the most successful video games in history and is, without doubt, the most successful MMO – or Massively Multiplayer Online – game in existence.

Challengers for the title have come and gone over the years but none of them have managed to come close to taking the belt. This is because World of Warcraft has gone a long way toward destroying MMORPG’s.

Moonrise Kingdom Review: Everything You’re Expecting And Maybe A Little More

With Moonrise Kingdom we get to see Wes Anderson at his Wes-Anderson-iest (I’m sticking with that horribly unimaginative adjective until someone shows me a better way to describe his work), which is to say, this film is a lot like the rest of his films. That means Moonrise Kingdom is chock full of gorgeous cinematography, obscure ‘60s music, deadpan performances, dry comedy, and Bill Murray. Wes Anderson fans will praise it; Wes Anderson haters will despise it. Regardless, this movie contained everything I’ve come to expect from the auteur.

Let’s Continue Playing Minecraft: Trial of the Amiaba Ruins – Part 2!

Welcome back to the Trial of the Amiaba Ruins! I still don’t know how to pronounce “Amiaba” but who cares because we are still running through everything. We pick up this episode trying to figure out if it’s a chicken or a duck in Minecraft. I said it was a chicken and of course I was right, I mean when am I ever wrong? We get stumped in a wool room with a giant Steve stabbing the ground. Nick decided to light everything on fire which in turn almost catches my laptop on fire. Read the rest of this article…

Ok, Yeah, So…We’re Pretty Much All Dead.

I’ve come upon the knowledge that a Japanese company called Suidobashi Heavy Industries is going to kill all of us with giant robots. That isn’t to say that they are going to do the killing directly but they are making the robots, which are available for purchase by the public, and the robots are going to end up doing the murders.

Paranormal Activity 4 Trailer Released Today

Ah the Paranormal series. After the first one it kind of went into a weird direction and was the same movie over and over. In Paranormal Activity 3 we kind of see what was behind this entire thing but it was a little confusing and not that satisfying. It looks like they are trying to take it in a newish direction with Paranormal Activity 4. Now it’s a teenage girl who is filming the strange things that are happening ever since the new neighbors moved in. You may recognize the guy in the webcam, it’s Matt Shively, who we interviewed for Noobz. Take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think. Read the rest of this article…

Strikefleet Omega Review: Great Space Strategy For Your Android Tablet

I’ve been dying for a fun space strategy game on any platform for ages and recent offerings have been a bit flat. But the fact that are so few decent non-tower defense titles on phones/tablets kills me because the touch screen is perfect for that style of game. Strikefleet Omega is, reduced, a freemium tower defense game, something that would’ve thrown me off if someone had explained it to me that way, but instead, I’ve found a flashy little game that’s super fun to play and willing to swallow up your free time… if you have a tablet, that is.
