The first time you played Minecraft - Derpcraft cartoon
So you heard about this thing called “Minecraft” because everyone and their mom is playing it, so you reluctantly bought it (no you didn’t) and load it up.

iPhone iMessage vs BlackBerry BBM - Video
TiPB and CrackBerry get together to bring us a side-by-side showdown of iOS 5 iMessage and BlackBerry’s BBM. iMessage proves to be the victor here, having SMS, MMS and Apple messaging tied into one, and BlackBerry having multiple apps.

According to Shadow 13th, who supposedly received information from someone who undiscreetly broke an embargo about Bungie’s supposed Halo Anniversary August celebration, a “new dark threat” is about to plague the universe, and it’s about to noneother than Master Chief himself to uncover the mysteries of the Forerunner planet Sigma 7. — Details after the break!
