Minecraft Themed Wedding

Matt and Asia are a cute couple that bonded over the popular game Minecraft. They built a house together in the digital world and have been inseparable ever since, both in the game and in real life. Matt even proposed to Asia up on stage at MineCon with the help of the game’s creators. So it was no surprise that Matt and Asia would plan a Minecraft themed wedding, and wow, did they ever.

They worked hard and put together an incredible event, which truly reflected their love for Minecraft, ahem, each other! In case you thought they blew a whole lot of money on a bunch of decorations that they would only use once – they didn’t. The decor came by way of the folks at MineCon, who were kind enough to lend them all of the props that they needed for their Minecraft themed love fest and to give them the Minecraft Jones Soda.

Gaming is Good for You [Infographic]

Our latest infographic goes over some really great things video games are responsible for.

The other useful thing I took away is that moderation is crucial to healthy gaming. It makes sense. Video games have very real benefits but too much of the same thing, day in, day out, actually ends up hurting you. As a dad, it’s a relief to hear that if I have to, I can still yank the plug and point to the door. Check out the inforgraphic and see what good gaming can do for you.
