While Chris Roberts and his team are plugging away on Star Citizen, I have been looking for something to satisfy my space sim desires. After a long time waiting, we finally have a release date for the next X game: November 15th. I played some of the previous games in the series and really enjoyed them, but it looks like they are taking the world to a whole new level now. Check out the gameplay video below to see how things will be even better this time around:

John Carmack delivers his keynote at QuakeCon 2013. An very interesting keynote as always.
Back in Planetside 1, Hossin was my favorite place to go. It was a lush, temperate continent with low-lying hills and boggy swamps that provided tons of opportunities for infantry to get an advantage over the heavier vehicles. It looks like the remake is staying pretty faithful to the themes of the original.
The Minecraft Server has been updated to 1.6.2, which includes 1.6.1 (the horse update). There is no official build for Bukkit yet, so we are running an early development build that supports 1.6.2. There might be issues, bugs, and crashes. Let me know if you run into any problems.
If you have 30 minutes to kill and played Ocarina of Time, I suggest checking out this pretty cool video of a runner finishing the game in 22 minutes and 38 seconds live on camera for charity. The runner gives us a nice history of the Ocarina speedrun scene such as who discovered what skip and points out the tricks he is using to bypass significant portions of the game. Now I just have to fight the urge to break out the Nintendo 64 and give Ocarina of Time another run. It has probably been 12 years or so.
