Did you hear that there's going to be a Minecraft movie by Napoleon Dynamit e director Jared Hess? And it's going to star Jason Momoa? I know, I know. You're probably thinking, “what the hell?” I was pretty dubious about the whole idea until I remembered that I felt the exact same way after seeing the LEGO Movie trailer for the first time, and that movie wasn't so bad! And there's plenty of lore and RPG servers that the Minecraft movie creators can borrow (or steal) from.

Sometimes you can find poignant wisdom and sage advice in the most unlikely places, like Persona 3 or Metal Gear Solid. Twitter account @VGAdvisor (Video Game Advisor) does an excellent job documenting all the amusing times video games were unexpectedly wise. Who knew important lessons about consent were woven into Mario & Luigi? Even more proof that video games are an underrated art form. We've collected some of our favorite examples from @VGAdvisor, but be sure to check out the account for mo…

Before Elden Ring, I had a social life. I would go to parties once in a while. I'd go out to dinner with friends. I'd occasionally go see a movie. Now my life revolves around Elden Ring, and I've barely ventured out of Limgrave. I'm a pathetic level 30 and Margit is the only main boss I've defeated so far. At this rate, I'll be playing Elden Ring for the rest of the year. But to be fair, I only play a few hours at a time. It's not like the old days when I'd come home from college in the summer…

Is Nintendo okay?

I had never really played Minecraft before the year 2020. Sure, I'd watched my little cousins play when I was in my early twenties and thought I was too good for video games that looked like they were for babies, but what did I know back then. I never could have predicted that Minecraft would inevitably become one of the most important and fulfilling video games for me in the worst of times. In June of 2020, I was totally miserable for reasons I'm sure you can guess. I was unemployed, quarantin…

Gaming memes worth pressing pause for

Some games feel like they're designed to stump you. Like the Dark Souls games before it, Elden Ring isn't exactly forthcoming with hot tips or guidance, which adds to the overall feelings of frustration, paranoia and hostility. Even when there aren't any evident threats around, it's really not smart to let your guard down at any moment while playing. You will often find yourself questioning whether or not it's a good idea to pick up seemingly innocuous objects, or embrace enigmatic women offeri…

Happy Friday, gamers . We've got another dank collection of the best gaming memes on this side of the internet. You probably need a little break from whatever you're playing anyway. Whether you're annihilating zoomers in the new fort-less Fortnite, dying for the 80th time trying to kill the Tree Sentinel (pro-tip: get a horse first), or enjoying a nice little fishing mini-game as Kirby, you're sure to love these memes for every kind of gamer.

Ever feel like your DM is just kind of making stuff up as they go along and likely put zero effort into the prep? Chances are you're probably onto something. But sometimes you just have to ask yourself, "am I having fun?" If the answer is yes, then who cares about the rest?

Did you know that a collective of mad lads who call themselves Build The Earth - UK are creating an entire replica of the United Kingdom in Minecraft on a 1:1 scale? The group's YouTube channel was created in 2020, so they've been building the UK in Minecraft for at least two years. Their channel shows how much progress they've made so far, and it's pretty impressive. As if you needed another reason to love Minecraft, right? We can't wait to see what other insane things people do with the game…

Everyone loves a fishing mini-game, and players will be able to unlock Kirby's favorite catching spot on March 25th, when the game is released to the public.

Greetings, gamers . I don't know about you, but Elden Ring has me fighting for my damn life every night after I get off work, and I won't rest until I beat the game so that I can finally start playing the game.

Get the elf his ring! But seriously, these gamers are here trying to help Elden Ring players advance.

Greetings, gamers . There are so many games to play and so little time, and yet there are still millions of active Minecraft players worldwide. Why is that? Because Minecraft is so simple and yet it can be any game you want it to be. Minecraft has the potential to be the greatest RPG of all time, depending on whose server you're on. It can be a virtual art museum or library of information censored in the real world. It can be The Sims or Call of Duty. It can be a place for friends to meet up du…
