Last June something I never expected happened. I found myself speaking before a crowded room of European Union members, think tanks, NGOs, industry representatives, policymakers and their kids about my books and the incredibly influential game Minecraft.

ESPN has received a copy of a letter sent out from Jace Hall to the participating teams in the H1Z1 Pro League to let them know that "the 2nd Split has been suspended indefinitely, and that a second league season will not be renewed or scheduled at this time".

Deloria Online has a long history that goes all the way back to the early 2000s. After several years in hibernation, the game's developer, Jeffrey O'Blenis, restarted development a couple of years ago. Thanks to his efforts, Deloria Online is finally ready for open beta testing. From now through November 26th players can take part in a special launch event to celebrate open beta.

Bless Online is getting a new update next week that will see the addition of a new Level 50 dungeon called the Ruber Ossuary. Each faction has its own entrance and a five player party is definitely recommended to tackle the bosses inside and to grab some new gear and other rewards.
