Villagers used to be almost entirely useless, but with the introduction of the emerald trading system, villagers have become an integral part of the minecraft economy. It’s easy enough to corral your villagers into stalls (because of their tendency to cluster in small, but desirable buildings with all the glee of cows heading off to slaughter). Unfortunately it is this very habit that makes creating a charming village with villagers actually living in each of your hand-built houses, all the harder.

Sending a love letter is a way for your sim to court other sims and pique their romantic interests. Every time you click on your mailbox, you’ll see the option to ‘send a love letter’. You can also ‘send a love letter’ from your sim’s pc, or by clicking on the object of your sim’s affection in the friends menu.

No Writing Surface Available

This simply means that your sim has nowhere to sit down and write. This problem can be solved with a writing desk (not cluttered with a computer) or a kitchen table.

As part of EA’s ongoing mission to destroy games as we know them, it has been decided that Sim City 5 will require an always on internet connection. Not only that, but it will also save your games to the cloud. In other words, if a beaver chews through the internet cables near your home – or, god forbid, you leave the house and travel somewhere without wi-fi, you can’t play your game.

EA is, of course, pretending that the ‘always online’ requirement isn’t dystopian DRM at its worst, rather it’s a feature. The feature being that you can play online. With friends. As long as their internet connection stays stable.

You will not be able to save your Sim City 5 cities unless you are online. Which is okay, because you won’t be able to play them unless you’re online.

Oh and it will likely be Origin only, EA’s super hackable attempt to emulate Valve’s success with Steam, without any of the charm, goodwill, or basic account security that Steam provides.

Batman: Arkham City GOTY begins with some excellent hand to hand combat achieved by a combination of strikes and counter measures, but the intro deteriorates into Bruce Wayne being hit in the head. A lot. If this game were making an attempt at realism it would have been titled BATMAN: CONCUSSION.

This is largely caused by the fact that every single guard in the Arkham City Prison (because Gotham has decided to give up on life and turn the CBD into a battle royale thunderdome arena of death for high risk prisoners,) is trained to subdue unruly inmates by bashing their heads into the nearest solid object. Other inmates get in on the action by punching and stomping Bruce in his tender cranium.

I’m not exaggerating when I say Bruce Wayne sustains more head injuries in the first five minutes of Arkham Asylum than Mohammad Ali did in the entire course of his career.

The major selling point for this map is the fact that it is sideways. The perspective is all wrong! Up is left and down is right and I don’t know where I am, but it feels good and oh, here are some colored blocks of wool to add a sense of meaning to this place of addled mystery.

Playing this minecraft map is a little like falling off the edge of the world. Jungle vines grow sideways along the trunks of tall jungle trees likewise heading off into the horizontal ether.
