Why Minecraft Gamers Choose 42U Servers!

minecraftMinecraft is a highly visual game where the characters break down and rebuild with blocks in their world. If you have played this game, you understand how visually stunning and mentally engaging it is. You work with your peers to build structures to protect yourselves from nocturnal monster attacks or to create something for its sheer intrinsic beauty.

The graphics in this game are intense, and that intensity falls back on you since you need to make sure your computer is up for the challenging of running such a graphically demanding game, especially for the duration of time you might end up playing at any given time.

Twitch Plays Pokemon

Over the past week there has been a wide event taking place over at Twitch.tv called “Twitch Plays Pokémon”, or “TPP” for short. It is an online play-through of one of the classic Gameboy games “Pokémon Red”. But it’s not just one group of friends playing the game and commenting on it. Twitch Plays Pokémon is literally 70+ thousand viewers including you if you watch it, playing through this game using only commands that you typed out on your keyboard. TPP takes the concept of a thousand monkeys in a room full of typewriters, and replaces the typewriters with one Pokémon game. The results may actually surprise you.

Game Time Episode 1: Contra

Game Time was an idea I had back in summer 2013 that was going to combine the use of video game reviews and a dry (almost non-existent) sense of humor.

Glass Tower World Review (Google Play)

While browsing the Google Play sore I came across this game called Glass Tower World. At first glance it looked like a pretty straightforward and interesting game. With a bright and colorful background and a simple concept this game was proving to be more interesting by the minutes.

So let’s dive into the world of Glass Tower World and take a look at why this games cover shouldn’t be taken judged for the better, but for the worst.

Gog Game Website

Gog is a video game retailer website that sells classic pc games for an affordable price. Although they do sell classic games there is something unique about this website and that is when they give games away for free. Sometimes the games they give away are simple RPG’s (Role Playing Games) from around the past era much like Ultima VI or Dragonsphere. But sometimes, once in a blue moon you can get the old Fallout series for free. That’s right, a couple of weeks prior to this recording they had the classic Fallout series going for free. The reason it was being given away for free was because of the expiration of Interplay’s rights to the fallout series. Sometimes expiration can be a good thing.
