If you have ever played Bastion, one thing that immediately stands out is the game's narration. Thanks to none other than Vareide, we now have the answer, in the form of this short film! With solid cinematography, clever script-writing and a killer delivery, Vareide gives us an entirely new way to experience Minecraft, narrating everyday occurances in the game world, lending them an air of distinction and power previously unheard of in the game - check it out!
In our previous installment, the Dead Worker's Party covered their final run through the Shipwrecked adventure map. Today, the intrepid trio delve deep into the Quest for Gallell, in which they explore all that is Gallell, their curiously convenient sibling relations (and the possibility of cloning, and/or twins), and more. Will they rescue the princess? Can they traverse the numerous deadly traps? Is "pentacle" even a word? Is the princess even real? Watch their latest adventure, and find out! ________ Entry into the Star Wars Content Contest is now closed!

The Dead Worker's Party is back, with the finale to their Shipwrecked adventure series! This week, The Shaft tries to find Minecraft heaven, the end of the adventure, and answer a quiz based on their prior exploits (which they may or may not cheat on), intermixed with bouts of physical assault. Do they ascend to heaven? Do they make it through the quiz chamber without suffering a death-by-punching? Take a look and find out!
First-person shooters have been immensely popular for over a decade, catering to an immensely broad audience of gamers in all age groups. So, it's no surprise to see this genre creep into Minecraft, as has been done in this tongue-in-cheek spoof of Call of Duty. This video features working firearms, custom skins, operational vehicles and more - give it a watch!

We recently had the pleasure of taking time out this holiday season to play a bit of a particularly entertaining adventure map, Questworld - Shipwrecked, made by smenx and ssankoo. Given the immense popularity of this particular gem, it's no surprise that there are a lot of Let's Plays and walk-throughs out there. Today, I'd like to focus on one in particular that I liked, done by the team at Dead Worker's Party - known for their highly popular podcast, The Shaft - consisting of Brent Copeland, Eric Fullerton & Wes Wilson.
The one thing that becomes immediately clear when watching these men at work is how comfortable they are with filming; improv comedy, interactive humor and attention to detail on-the-fly make their videos entertaining to watch. There are so many points of interest that I want to cover here, but anything I can say on the matter would be better served by seeing it yourself. I will say this though - there is an abundance of pirate voices, torch theft and cow murder. You'll see what I mean.
Questworld - Shipwrecked is already a highly entertaining map, with solid architectural design, clever writing, and a strong puzzle-based progression system. The idea is that you've been stranded in a shipwreck (if the title didn't already make that clear), and you must make your way through a strange new place, discovering secrets and interacting with NPCs that seem to prefer the written word over actually being anywhere. The rules of the map are sensible without feeling overly restrictive, and many an hour was lost to me trying to work my way through this wonderful creation.

We often feature recreations of popular games, but today we have something very different - Cake Defense! User Disco_ has devised a clever single-player game, which pits users against waves of monsters, 12 rounds each, with incrementing difficulty! The game is clever enough in its own right, but it also comes with a remarkable custom display of its own, housed inside a giant mouth. This strangely addicting game is definitely worth a look!
