WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!

The pain of finishing piles after piles of worksheets throughout the bitter nights have been done; time for some Minecraft, don't you think? AWW YEAH.

When we had the time, we worked our ass off on replenishing the website, secretly to celebrate the 1st Anniversary of Dumb Minecrafters. Yes, we are not The Dumb Kid's Stuff anymore, because we started to feel that that was quite a crappy name.

New posts will be regular as usual so don't worry.

And now we shall go into hibernation...again

Well, we are now in the awful time of the year where we spent our hours and days preparing for the upcoming exams. It's sad to say to say this, but we will not be posting anything on this website for the whole of October 2013.

We do know that it is a bit irresponsible for a news website to not post anything for more than a week, but it will be more irresponsible of us to not prepare for the exams.

See you again in November 2013 and sorry for inconvenience caused. :-(

Is Minecraft Violent and Gory?

Look, I have gotten quite sick of my friends' parents saying that Minecraft is violent and inappropriate just by looking at the game for 5 seconds, so I am going to write this here, once and for all:

Minecraft has NO notable amount of gore and has 100% no blood in the game (unless you download modifications made by third-party creators). In the game code, there is 100% no foul language unless other players are using vulgarities on the chat panel (which I will further explain later).

Although Minecraft has a 1st person shooter view (as if it is Call of Duty or some bloody game), the game is mainly about building structures and surviving in the wild.

The only time a bit of "violence" comes is when monsters come after you at night and you have to protect your structures, and when you go to other Dimensions such as "The End", where you have to defeat a boss creature before collecting extremely rare items.

In Minecraft, there are also Mutiplayer servers where players can play creative games that others make, and some people might use foul language on chat panels, although some server creators know how to edit the code and censor all foul language.

If that is not enough, here's a Let's Play video from a Minecraft player:

Mass Effect Mash-up Pack for Minecraft Xbox 360!

The secret is finally uncovered: 4J Studios will release a Mash-up Pack for Minecraft Xbox 360 based on the fear-filled game, Mass Effect.

It will feature a map based on Mass Effect 3's Mars Facility, a Mass Effect texture, a Mass Effect user-interface, 36 Mass Effect skins and 22 Mass Effect songs from the game's soundtrack. It will cost about US$4.00, or 320 MS Points (hmmm...sounds like a pretty good deal to me).

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!
