The Week in Review: Porn Stars, Blizzard, and Invisible Tanks

In this week's edition, Skyrim gets a Team Fortress 2 makeover, and Minecraft "leaks."

Minecraft Update "Leaks"

An early version of Minecraft's 1.8 Adventure Update found its way online ahead of its official release. But it became clear very quickly that the "leak" was the work of Mojang itself. Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson confirmed that Mojang had uploaded the files for "expert users," and said that anyone who downloaded it should "remember to report bugs, and to feel slightly bad."

And with "Uploaded for expert players", Notch actually meant: "I totally just got like 3 million unpaid playtesters to find the bugs for me".
Not that I object */runs away from an Enderman*

Who wouldn't do that? Pleasing the fans, getting almost free publicity, and getting free playtesting. No possible downside that I can think of.

Well I didn't mean it in a negative way
