Minecraft: Pocket Edition players know that Mojang is working on true online multiplayer that could arrive as soon as the 0.6.0 update if all goes well. However, up until now, and until that update comes out, we've been trying various ways to create a true Minecraft: Pocket Edition server whether it be hosted off your device or on a PC. We've seen a few projects aiming towards this goal but now it seems one has actually accomplished this and it's called PocketMine-MP.

While we sort of take it easy today in preparation for tonight's New Years Eve celebration here in Las Vegas, we did stumble upon something rather neat that Square Enix recently slipped quietly onto the Google Play store and that is the official Chocobos Live Wallpaper.
