Minecraft Trading Card Boxes With Exclusive Inserts Are Up For Grabs At Amazon

Panini's 2024 Minecraft Trading Card products are in high demand, with many retailers sold out or limiting sales. Amazon has restocked two primary Minecraft card boxes: Blaster Boxes and Mega Boxes. The Blaster Box contains six booster packs (36 cards total) and features exclusive Cubic Parallel cards, while the Mega Box includes 12 booster packs with a higher likelihood of obtaining numbered cards. The complete set has 221 base cards, including 25 rare inserts for Minecraft's 15th anniversary. Availability at major retailers like GameStop and Walmart is limited, but local card shops may still have stock. Panini's offerings are strictly for collecting, not a trading card game. The recent interest may be linked to the success of the Minecraft film adaptation.

This game about being trapped on a spaceship overgrown with a jungle that wants to eat you is basically Project Zomboid in space, and it looks absolutely terrifying

Dandelion Void is a video game set aboard a derelict generation ship that has become overgrown with alien flora and fauna since its departure from Earth in the late 20th century. The ship's ecosystem is hostile, with life forms attacking creatures with fewer than seven legs. The game, developed by Manzanita Interactive, features survival elements such as repairing spacesuits and navigating radiation-filled corridors. The creature designs are influenced by the remains of the ship's deceased crew. The game has been in development for a couple of years, but no release date has been announced. Additional information is available on its Steam page.

Modder Luke Yui has released a Duos mode mod for Elden Ring Nightreign, available on the Elden Ring Nightreign Nexus for PC users. This mod allows players to team up with a friend without needing a third player, addressing player demand for a feature that was missing from the game's initial design. Elden Ring Nightreign was primarily designed for three-player co-op or solo play, leading to disappointment among fans. Game director Junya Ishizaki acknowledged that the duos option was overlooked and hinted at potential future support for it. The game is available on multiple platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

‘A Minecraft Movie’ sucks, I love it

“A Minecraft Movie” is a 100-minute film that debuted on April 4, featuring a disjointed plot, lackluster script, and minimal character development. The film takes viewers into the “overworld” of Minecraft, where characters attempt to return to reality but face a rushed narrative that prioritizes action and comedy over coherent storytelling. Jack Black stars as Steve, with Jason Momoa as Garrett Garrison, showcasing strong chemistry. Supporting characters, including siblings Henry and Natalie, lack depth, and Jennifer Coolidge’s subplot feels inconsequential. Despite critical reception, the film has grossed over half a billion dollars, driven by the popularity of Minecraft and viral snippets of dialogue. Audience members engaged with the film during screenings, indicating a level of enjoyment despite its flaws.

Report: Microsoft Gives Windows-Based Gaming Handhelds the Priority Over its Own Xbox Model

Microsoft has decided to prioritize enhancing Windows 11's performance for third-party gaming handhelds over its own Xbox handheld project, which may delay its launch originally planned for 2027. The company remains committed to developing its Xbox handheld in the long term but is currently focusing on optimizing Windows 11 for devices like ASUS's upcoming “Project Kennan.” This shift may be influenced by the competitive landscape, particularly the rise of Valve’s SteamOS, which offers advantages such as being free for hardware manufacturers and providing a user-friendly experience. SteamOS is currently supported on devices like the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go S, and Valve is working to expand its compatibility. Jason Ronald, Microsoft's VP of Next Generation, indicated the company's goal to create a seamless Xbox-like experience on PCs, but the competitiveness of Windows 11 against SteamOS for gaming handhelds remains uncertain.
