Jack Black Cast As Lead In Minecraft Movie

Jack Black Cast As Lead In Minecraft Movie

, , , 9

This just in: Jack Black has been called forth to play all the video game characters that Chris Pratt isn’t playing. The long-in-development Minecraft movie has picked him up to play Steve, the lead character and one of two people you can be in the game (the other’s Alex, the girl). The casting comes hot off Black’s performance as Bowser in the Super Mario Bros Movie. As Bowser, Black delivered a passionate ballad of unrequited love for the princess he frequently kidnaps, called “Peaches.” As Steve, Black will perform the ditty…..uh, actually, what would Steve sing? What would Steve DO? Who even IS Steve? He’s got the blankest slate of any video game character I can think of, except for the yellow square in Atari’s 1978 game “Adventure.” I guess they’ll have to figure something out. The Minecraft movie does not have a reported writer, and I hope for their sake they aren’t seriously putting it off for the last minute. Everything else is set up to go. All the

Featured Art by: https://www.deviantart.com/breath-art   What makes an awesome animation series?  You may have many answers, but among them, My Three-body series could possibly provide the most legendary answers.   What is the Three-Body Problem Trilogy?   The Three-Body Problem Trilogy is one of the most famous contemporary Sci-fi series worldwide. The trilogy describes the interaction,confrontation, cooperation, and continuous struggles between Human Civilization on Earth and alien Three Body Civilization living in harsh conditions in the universe. Besides, it also focuses on the rise and falls of diverse eras and the mysteries of the vast universe. The Three-Body Problem Trilogy was first serialized by Cixin Liu in 2006 in the Chinese science fiction magazine Sci-fi World. In 2010, the series was completed and published in three volumes. Later, it was translated into English by Ken Liu. Before 2015, it was only popular among science fiction fans. In 2015, Book One of the Three Body Trilogy won the Hugo Award. It was the first time for an Asian author to win

Why Is Minecraft Story Mode $99.99 On XBox 360?

Why Is Minecraft Story Mode $99.99 On XBox 360?

, , , , , , , 0

If you go to the XBox 360 marketplace this week and look up the serialized video game Minecraft Story Mode, you might get a little sticker shock. Okay, more of a lighting bolt frying your brain — $99.99 is the tag. That isn’t the price of the entire series, it’s just one individual chapter. Each chapter costs $99.99 and there are thirteen chapters in all, so to purchase Minecraft Story Mode on the 360 these days, one would need to spend $1,299.87. Just charge it. Why exactly is this game — the digital version, no less — worth so much now? It isn’t. The ridiculous price is more of a preventative measure than an offer. The game is there, but technically Microsoft can’t sell it, and due to the strange way this aging marketplace (founded in 2005) works, this is the only way they can keep people from buying it. Minecraft Story Mode was made by Telltale Games. Telltale Games no longer exists, and their Minecraft license is void. The

The Minecraft Movie Is Back On

The Minecraft Movie Is Back On

Warner Bros. has made a mint off The Lego Movie and its subsequent spinoffs. Now they’re looking for the next hit, and the stereotypical execu-think is to find the most similar thing possible. What’s popular and closest to Legos, mechanically speaking? Minecraft! WB purchased the rights to a Minecraft movie in 2014. Ideally, they would have had a movie out by now, but the Hollywood machine doesn’t always run smoothly, and what’s been stalling the Minecraft film is a common problem: they can’t pin down a director. Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney, and even Steve Carell have been attached to direct at some point (yes, Carell was going to direct). Now WB feels they’ve found the right guiding hand: Peter Sollett, director of the critically acclaimed “Raising Victor Vargas,” but more commonly known as the guy who did “Nick & Nora’s Infinite Playlist.” Vertigo’s Roy Lee and Jon Berg are listed as producers, and Mojang, the creators of Minecraft, will oversee for authenticity. The news was broken by Variety, who also

Three Spiffy Nintendo 2DS XL Models Introduced

Three Spiffy Nintendo 2DS XL Models Introduced

, , , , , , 0

This week Nintendo revealed some great-looking 2DS XL models due out this summer. Right now they’re only announced for Japan, but they’ll work in any region. The first is the Mario Kart 7 model which is decked out in a red and black scheme with embossed racing stripes. It comes with a digital copy of MK7 inside. The second is this Animal Crossing model that I can already hear the Stateside fans begging for. It, too, has a related game stored in its memory; the upgraded amiibo-compatible version of New Leaf. The most interesting model is the Minecraft Creeper Edition. Dressed up like a Creeper, it utilizes the blocky graphical style of Minecraft quite effectively. From the pictures, though, it looks kind of hard on your hands: The bigger implication is what this represents: Mojang has been a Microsoft company for several years now. Microsoft makes the XBox One, a competing product, and yet here they are licensing one of their own properties to help sell a Nintendo device. One

E3 2018: Telltale Announces Stranger Things Game

Telltale Games have become world-renowned experts at taking story-rich properties and mining them for their full potential, whether the property is as obscure as Fables or as permanently zeitgeisty as Batman. Now they’re going back in time (no, not Back to the Future…they already did that one) to the early 80s — the era of creepy creatures, mirror dimensions, children with destructive psychic powers, and shoulder pads. Ah, the memories. Yes, Telltale announced a Stranger Things game this week. Just the announcement was made, with no other information. If it’s like their others, then it will probably be a point-and-click adventure game released in chapters, and at some point you will read the words “Eleven will remember this.” There’s more: Telltale is working with Netflix in more than one fashion, developing a series of “interactive narratives” for the streaming service. They’re half-shows, half-games where you decide what happens next with your remote. There already exist a few of these on Netflix, with titles like Stretch Armstrong: The Breakout and Buddy

New Minecraft Update Improves Water Environments And Adds New Content

New Minecraft Update Improves Water Environments And Adds New Content

Minecraft is set to receive one of its biggest ever updates next Spring. The Update Aquatic will completely overhaul water environments within the game, making the oceans a much more compelling space to explore. According to the developers, one of the main changes that is being made is to how enemies, objects, and material is generated. It will also add support for new types of encounters, such as treasure hunts, and introduce new mobs such as dolphins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAapz_nIC_Y The news comes alongside an announcements that the “Super Duper Graphics Update” and cross-play functionality for the Nintendo Switch has been delayed until early 2018. Both push backs are due to Mojang wanting to get the updates working perfectly before they are released to the public.

The Netflix original series Stranger Things has taken the world by storm so it makes sense that it would combine with the gaming world’s phenomenal runaway success. To that end, players can now download some exclusive DLC for Minecraft. The Stranger Things Skin Pack brings skins for practically every character in the show – with a total of 50 items included in the download. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vin5fjzjRww “Hold onto your long blonde wigs, kids,” said Minecraft developer Mojang. “because the whole cast is here! Break into a classified facility with Hopper, kick off some Dungeons and Dragons with Mike or heck, why not go totally telekinetic with Eleven?” There’s even an announcement trailer if you fancy a game of ‘Guess which beloved Stranger Things character is represented by this particular collection of squares’.

E3 2017: Sony Talks Blocking Cross-Play

E3 2017: Sony Talks Blocking Cross-Play

, , , , , 1

There were some major surprises in terms of cross-platform play at E3 2017. Minecraft was revealed to be getting a free “unified edition” that would allow players on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and all mobile platforms to play together. Then, Rocket League was announced for Nintendo Switch, and would also support Cross-play between Xbox One and PC. What you might have noticed is that PS4 is not listed on either of those titles. Turns out, Sony blocked cross-play between those games. Turns out, Sony didn’t want to hurt their current fan base, as SIE global sales and marketing head Jim Ryan said to Eurogamer, “We’ve got to be mindful of our responsibility to our install base.” He went on to specifically talk about Minecraft: “We have a contract with the people who go online with us, that we look after them and they are within the PlayStation curated universe,” he said. “Exposing what in many cases are children to external influences we have no ability to manage or look

Wynncraft Mod Is A Huge MMO Built Within Minecraft

Wynncraft Mod Is A Huge MMO Built Within Minecraft

, , , , 0

Fans of MMOs and Minecraft are in look, as a brand new mod called Wynncraft has been released as a free download for the PC version of the game. Built entirely within the hugely successful world building title, the mod is a fully fledged MMO, including questions, NPC characters, bosses, and even guilds. Wynncraft has been in development for four years, with several of the team behind it putting in full-time hours to get it released. It’s also entirely free to download and play, as long as you have a copy of Minecraft, with the developers relying solely on in-game item sales for funding. An idea about the scale of the world that has been created can be seen in this map, which shows the in-game location of 4000 x 5500 blocks. You can see a trailer for the mod below and get details about how to download and install it at the official site.

Minecraft Now Runs On Dreamcast…Kinda

Minecraft Now Runs On Dreamcast…Kinda

, , , 0

Since its introduction, Minecraft has been made playable on every machine capable of playing a game….but what about machines of the past? Since it uses deliberately simple graphics, couldn’t you get it running on past consoles as well? Mozilla will never release a version of the game for the Sega Dreamcast, but somebody by the handle “gamebabla” made it happen. The Dreamcast is the most homebrew-friendly console for two reasons: one, it was created with the help of Microsoft and runs off a version of Windows, and two, the Dreamcast will run burned CD-Rs without modification. All “gamebabla” had to do was port code written for a high-end Texas Instruments calculator onto a format the Dreamcast could read, and it started running. This isn’t Minecraft exactly — it’s a homebrewed knockoff called “Crafti.” And since it was originally made for a calculator, there are no sound effects. The game also lacks the presence of enemies. But you can do a lot with it that you could do with actual Minecraft.

New Minecraft Boss Mode Contains Plenty Of Bugs

New Minecraft Boss Mode Contains Plenty Of Bugs

Earlier this year, Microsoft revealed that they would be releasing an update for Minecraft. Called the “Boss Update”, it would add a variety of new content and features to the experience, chief amongst them being the ability to use a new add-on system that operates in a similar way to mod support. It is currently only available on Minecraft Pocket and the Windows 10 versions of the game. Unfortunately, the launch of the latest update hasn’t gone entirely smoothly. Complaints in the official forums for the game indicate that many people are suffering with a variety of problems, primarily performance issues that make the title crash if played on mobile devices. It also seems like many of the official add-ons do not work as intended, with the enemy AI having trouble moving around the map effectively. Many were also frustrated that the add-on system doesn’t allow players to create their own mobs or creatures. Instead, users can only change existing values rather than introduce brand new ones, limiting the usefulness
