Upcoming Games: Angry Birds Star Wars II


Just when you thought the fun is over, this was announced: Angry Birds Star Wars II is coming!

Angry Birds Star Wars 2 will be based in the times of the prequel trilogy (Episodes 1,2,3) and will feature all new characters including General Grievous, Lando, Anakin Skywalker, Jango Fett, Emperor Palpatine and...NOOO!!! WHY DID THEY PUT JAR JAR BINKS IN THE GAME!!!

Anyway, in Angry Birds Star Wars 2, there will finally be a feature where you can choose to be part of the Light Side, or "Pork" Side.

A "Telepod" being used


"Telepods" made for the game look like the respective Angry Bird Star Wars characters, and when you place them on your screen, you can play as that character and butt into some peoples! "Telepods" will be out in toy stores, but if you can't find them, then go get them on Amazon or eBay.

The game will be out on September 19 on App Stores (most likely on iOS and Android first), so go get it the moment it's out! May the birds be with you!

Upcoming Games: Minecraft PS3, PS4 and PS Vita Editions

A year ago, it was rumoured that Microsoft had a contract with 4J Studios, which stated that Minecraft will only be available on one console gaming platform...the Xbox 360 (and Xbox One).

But today, 4J Studios proudly shared this message to the world on Twitter:

Happy to confirm we're developing Minecraft PS3, PS4 & PS Vita Editions for Mojang, as well as Xbox 360 & Xbox One Editions! -4J Studios

I am very happy for the Playstation gamers out there and I hope you will enjoy the game, but with 4 Minecraft Editions in 4J Studios' hands, they must be working their brains out. Hopefully, the Playstation editions of Minecraft will be out in a few months time.

Minecraft PC 1.7: The Biome Update???

Recently, Jeb posted a few tweets and pictures about Minecraft PC 1.7, and now we know that 1.7 will definitely feature new biomes...3 new biomes: Clay Mountains, Redwood Forest and the Cliff.

Here is our description of the biomes:



Clay Mountains
Basically a clay heaven which looks like a canyon. The exterior of this biome is made out of nothing but hardened clay, stained clay, and dead bushes.





Redwood Forest
Just your typical European forest (and looks like Slender's forest in the night) Unofficially dubbed the Redwood Forest, it is a pretty biome made out of spruce trees, dirt that cannot grow into trees and other stuff.

A new block called Podzol (a yucky version of grass) is introduced into this biome.





The Cliff
This here biome is a stone heaven. Most of it is vertical stone, but it looks more or less like the Extreme Hills biome. 

When you are mining in this biome, remember to watch your step!

Back to the Old Template

Hello my dear strangers from the WWW!

This is important news! We are officially back to our old website template (that we had previously removed in May 2013) as we have realised that using a simple custom template is better than a fancy one created randomly by someone else from DeluxeTemplates.net

Our own template (the one that you now see) also blends in more with our DKS logo and we do find that text is easier to read with the simple white, blue and dark grey colours.

By the way, Blogger powers this website and if you are interested, you can always hit this link (www.blogger.com).

Thank you for your understanding.

Minecraft Xbox TU12 MYTHS

There have been way to many ignorant people going around telling the people (who know the right stuff) that they are noobs who don't know the new features.

Okay, here's the features that will NOT be available in Minecraft Xbox Title Update 12. There will be no Wither, no different types of NPC Villagers, no trading system with villagers, and no carpets. 

If you don't believe me and ask us,"What happened to the trading, wither and carpets?"(and we will not answer that question). Now here is all the proof that we have from 4J Studios' official Twitter page.

  1. No, the Wither won't be in until a later Title Update. Just the Mob Heads for now...
  2. That is WOOL, not carpet (carpet will be taller than the surrounding blocks)
  1. For all those asking, we are working on TU12! It'll be based on Java version 1.2.3, with a few features from later versions.
(Java (PC) version 1.2.3 has no trading and carpets. TU12 will also feature a few 1.4 features though.)
