Here’s how Microsoft’s device partners are investing in our planet Every year in the month of April, we celebrate Earth Day. Living in the Pacific Northwest, as the snow begins to melt and the landscape brightens, I reflect on what a privilege it is to live in such a beautiful place.

2022-04-06 KENNETH 0

Fresh DLC brings new adventure with Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog races into Minecraft in updated downloadable content that’s now available. “From the creative masterminds at Gamemode One and SEGA, this update brings back the Labyrinth Zone, a level from the 1991 game that taught me a) exploring ruins is awesome and b) don’t trust gargoyles,” writes Sophie Austin on Minecraft.net. “Armed with a new mission, you’ll have to dodge obstacles and navigate traps as you try and stop the Master Emerald from falling into nefarious hands! And if that’s not motivation enough for you, then should I mention the new character skins?

Or visit Minecraft.net first to find out more. [ more… ]
