Thoughts on the Xbox One

Most people I know that own an Xbox 360 use it to watch Netflix. Most of the people I know that own a Playstation 3 use it primarily as a Blue-Ray player. Sure, they bought games too, but they really dont play them. Attempting to call the Xbox One an entertainment system that just so happens to play games, is a brilliant move by Microsoft. After the conference ended, Reddit was quick to complain they wanted a new console, not a TV remote. The fact being overlooked is you still are getting a con

A Look at CivCraft, a Minecraft Mod

It’s hugely involved, with you mining the ground to gain resources to trade for coins to claim your land. Like a proper game of Civ, major construction involves clicking on the ground and watching the buildings extruding upwards. They’re functional buildings, allowing you to enter and use them, and enhancing them to provide the bonuses to the land.

This feels like the next natural stage of evolution of Minecraft.

Even the WSJ is Making Xbox Predictions

Mostly fluff, but there is something to be said about a publication like WSJ covering the Xbox. It’s a little astounding how far video games have progressed for a new console release to be covered by mainstream culture.

A Metroid Password That Breaks Everything

One password, discovered over 20 years later, long after the Metroid password system had been completely reverse-engineered, does not grant you all items. This password just crashes and resets the game:

How Gameshark Codes Work

I still remember when I would get the monthly flyers from Game Genie in the mail with the latest discovered codes for games.

How do GameShark codes work?This has always boggled me. Obviously GameShark and Game Genie never got inside access to place their own cheats into every game. I don’t think any developers gave them the source code to pour over...Arqade LoveAndCoding [http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/76858/how-do-gameshark-codes-work]

TF2: First Entirely Community-Created Update

This update is 100% created by the TF2 community. And when we say everything, we mean everything—the in-game content, the update hub website, the animated short, the comic, even the splash images in the Steam store. Even better, everything you created avoided the classic trap of using other companies’ intellectual property.

Valve has done something no company has done before; they outsourced the work of an entire update to the very people playing it.
