"On May 17, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack comes to Minecraft: Wii U Edition as a free game update. After downloading the update, players who own the Minecraft: Wii U Edition digital game, which launched last December, will have immediate access to new skins, a Super Mario-themed pre-made world and a set of Super Mario-themed music and item textures."

If you were looking for one of the coolest Minecraft updates it might be coming to the Wii U. The Super Mario Mash-Up Pack is going to add a ton of really incredible Mario themed gear in Minecraft making this version pretty compelling. I imagine you can get similar stuff on the PC with mods but this comes for free and automagically available to Minecraft Wii U owners.


Firaxis released the trailer for it's upcoming turn based strategy mega franchise Civilization VI. Voiced by Sean Bean this trailer shows off a look at the best parts of history and teases some of the new game. It's light on details and heavy on fluff and if film history is our guide somewhere in this game Sean Bean will die. Firaxis has stated that new features are coming to the game, but again nothing terribly concrete right now.

"Civilization VI offers new ways to interact with your world, expand your empire across the map, advance your culture, and compete against history’s greatest leaders to build a civilization that will stand the test of time."

Are you interested in another Civilization game and perhaps more interestingly why do you think Sean Bean dies in his movies more than most actors? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Generally speaking video game movies ain't great. Don't get me wrong, I have a special place in my heart for The Super Mario Brothers Movie & The Wizard it's just that.. most of them are not amazing. So I have a bit of trepidation that come with the new string of video game movies coming out. That said, the new Assassin's Creed trailer that dropped looks really good. I know there are more than a couple Assassin's Creed fans here so what do you think, does this look like something you will watch?


The Old Gods is out and with it come a bunch of new decks and strategies. In this episode I open the final 10 free Whispers of the Old Gods packs(spoiler alert, I open a Legendary and 2 epics) and then play some matches with my new Warlock Zoo, Pirate Warrior and C'thun Rogue.

I also recently crafted my first legendary Sylvanas Windrunner. She has been a great addition to my decks and it was well worth the dust!


If you were wondering how Heartstone works this animation explains it pretty well.

My apol... ASTOUNDING!


A couple days ago I posted a series of Lego Star Wars Force Awakens prequel shorts and it seems they were created to setup Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The upcoming game features voice actors from the original cast such as Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa), Daisy Ridley (Rey), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), John Boyega (Finn), Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata), Max von Sydow (Lor San Tekka) and Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron).

Happy to see Disney make a solid effort to keep these stories in proper cannon but also allow the whimsical nature of the Lego universe so we can hear Han Solo say "Wookie cookies." If you love Wookie cookies then make sure to get Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens on June 16th on the PS3, PS4, Vita, 360, Xbox One, Wii U, 3DS or PC.

Shadows of the Empire is a classic Star Wars game that until now was only available on the Nintendo 64. Today Lucasfilm brings it to PC for the first time and, for now, it's only available on GOG. It's fun watching the trailer and realizing Dash Rendar is acted by the same person that voiced Jim Raynor in Starcraft.

If you have been waiting to re-play this game on your PC check it out on GOG.

"In Far Harbor, a new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost?"

If you have completed most of the quests in Fallout 4 and are death clawing for more stuff to explore the largest Fallout DLC to date drops May on 19th. Far Harbor seems to be a very dark sea tale. Fun to see the Children of the Atom as I believe we haven't seen them since Fallout 3 in Megaton. Far Harbor launches on PC, PS4 and XBox One May 19th.

Metal Jesus Rocks and Reggie made a great video i've used as a base for my list of Gameboy Advance games I want to collect. Like most Metal Jesus Rocks videos this covers all the models of the Gameboy Advance and associated hardware. They also make some recommendations of some classic titles such as Minish Cap, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Metroid Zero Mission & Fusion and more. If you are like me and are slowly collecting all the great classic titles or simply want to watch a fun video about some great video game systems then you should check this out.
