Remember the Minecraft-playing couple who got engaged at MineCon back in November? Well, yes, they have now been lawfully wed and kissed and no man put asunder and all that goes along with the big day — including an outstanding Minecraft-themed throwdown for the reception. Chickens, sheep, a creeper, everything.
Special effects artist and designer Greg Aronowitz has posted a very cool, thorough rundown of his process making the life-sized Minecraft characters that populated last week’s Minecraft-only convention, Minecon.
Minecraft — you may have heard of this game. Recently Mojang’s phenomenon finally went into 1.0 full release, and at Minecon, during a developer’s conference, the team released some numbers which showcase just how popular Minecraft has become.
Minecraft is out. Yes, finished and out and on sale. So get to it. Go buy yourself a copy right this damn minute. It’s $US26.95.

The hapless hero of Mojang’s sandbox construction phenomenon gets a first-class trip to Sin City in this video made to promote the first MineCon. Created by H.A.T. Films, the clip’s been peppered by the avatar skins of the ‘Craft community, as culled from the participation detailed in this post.
Part of me feels like I shouldn’t be surprised, but part of me is: There are no more tickets available for MineCon, the inaugural MineCraft convention to be held in 18 days in Las Vegas. When Notch first floated the idea of a con back in May, the response to it did not suggest such a strong response.
