5 Things Vanilla Minecraft Needs To Have
You can’t tell the image quality because it’s already 8bit, hahaha!
Minecraft vanilla is great and all, but it’s missing some things that should be core features and honestly don’t understand why they aren’t. Everything I’m about to talk about can be achieved with mods, but I shouldn’t have to be a server administrator to run a multiplayer server or pay high fees to run a Minecraft server.

Hey Take-Two, America Is PRIME MMO Territory!
Is there a market for MMO games in the U.S.?
A few days ago I read an article in which Take-Two Interactive’s CEO – Strauss Zelnick said that America is not a good market for MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games and that they would be focusing all of their MMO efforts in other countries. Of course, all of the major media outlets like Polygon, Joystiq, The Escapist, Gamespot etc… immediately jumped all over this story and started leg-humping Take-Two for a few quotes and scraps of knowledge, but when I read about it, I just facepalmed.

Penny Arcade Turns 15, These Are Their 15 Funniest Comics
Ominous.
I doubt Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik would realize a decade and a half ago that their quirky, immature antics, laid out in a series of JPEGs, would inspire thousands of other comics, build an empire worth millions and earn them untold accolades. While I was only reading the comic for fourteen of those years, I like to think I have a firm grasp on their best offerings. Timed conveniently with the wind-down of their Strip Search web series, I went back through the archives and highlighted the very best. If you have some of your own, be sure to drop them in the comments below.

30 Seconds To Mars’ “LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS” Review: I’m Kind of Done with Jared Leto
Ever since I caught his performance in Requiem For a Dream, I felt a certain amount of indifference towards Jared Leto, so when he decided to start a rock-band, I was curious. Not knowing fully that he’d decided to pursue music at the same time he was planting his acting roots, it seemed like an interesting twist. When 30 Seconds to Mars came out and I heard “Capricorn” for the first time, I was intrigued by the name, and the music wasn’t half-bad either.
Now it’s 2013 and I’m sure where experimentation has been the leading drive for the band’s work, I’m quite certain that this latest album is driving me away from their music entirely.

M83’s Top 10 Best Songs
Anthony Gonzalez is now the sole driver of the Good Ship M83 and his journey’s been long and adventurous.
French electronic group M83 has grown a lot since their 2001 self-titled debut, but one thing has always remained consistent: the artistic direction and core of Anthony Gonzalez. Yeah, I gave him some trouble for a pared down soundtrack for Oblivion, but he has a long history of making me excited to start up my music player and plow through the celestial cosmos he weaves through every one of his records. Here are my top 10 favorite songs from the electronica dazzler.

5 Reasons Why Instagram Is Better Than Vine
Twitter wants your video, but how well does Vine do?
It almost seems like a petty fight, but hours after Vine arrived on Android – finally – we get to see how it really fares against existing social networks (it piggybacks Twitter, but is separate, know what I mean?) like the still new-ish Instagram. Sure, it feels like an apples to oranges comparison, but they’re also similar enough that we can draw severe comparisons and dismiss one entirely. Namely, Vine, because it’s silly.
