While the title may seem a bit sarcastic, or humorous depending on your sense of humor, no doubt a lot of people have been following what has been going on with OnLive over the past few days since rumors began that the company would suddenly be closing its door to massive lay-offs and it being bought out. Since late Friday, after all the dust settled, we knew more about the situation and the impending buy-out of the game streaming service.
So as the dust settles through a flurry of rumors and half details earlier this afternoon, it seems as though some sense is now coming out of the whole OnLive fiasco. Rumors from OnLive shutting down today and entire staff lay-offs, Bankruptcy filing and pretty much everything else you can stuff in there have been floating around.
Moments ago a wild rumor spread across the Twitter space about OnLive apparently closing their doors today out of nowhere and that they were laying off their entire staff. The rumor also suggested that a new company would be formed but all OnLive staff would be laid off.

It is interesting in that this is coming from Epic Games and the statement goes as far as saying that right now mobile is “starting to competing with current consoles”.
Back when Minecraft: Pocket Edition first came to Android, we ran a series of articles called Minecraft Structures, geared towards showcasing reader made buildings, and whatever else, built completely in Minecraft: Pocket Edition. We had a lot of pretty impressive stuff sent in at first but after awhile the submissions died down as everyone got more involved in Minecraft: Pocket Edition in other ways including building, surviving, crafting and modding the hell out of it.

One thing that iOS users have had for awhile now is the iCade, a mini arcade cabinet you can hook up your iPad to and play games just like you would if it were a full arcade cabinet, with a joystick and a selection of buttons. One crafty Android user however has built his own iCade style cabinet for his Android tablet.
