Telltale Games and Mojang Announce Minecraft: Story Mode
Earlier this morning, Mojang released a pretty funny little interactive web app called "Info Quest II." Those who played through it were rewarded with a special announcement: Mojang and Telltale Games (The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, Wolf Among Us) are partnering up to make a Telltale-style adventure game set inside the Minecraft universe.
Telltale is well known for playing well in other people's properties (see all of the games I listed above), although their games recently have been very...adult in nature. It seems like they'd be a poor fit for a Minecraft game, until you take into account their point and click adventures from years ago. Anyone who's played the new Sam and Max games or their Strongbad game can see they'll have no trouble adapting to the more family friendly Minecraft. And the game should still be very funny. The only real question is how they'll find a story in a world that is designed to be a blank canvas.
We know only one thing for sure. It won't involve Steve.
Poor Steve.

There's No Such Thing as Date Rape. by Raven Knighte
There's no such thing as date rape.
Let me clarify - I'm not saying that I don't believe rape happens. I KNOW it happens. But it's either rape or it isn't. The label "date rape" is complete and utter bullshit and we need to stop using it. Just saying, it really pisses me off whenever I hear this label applied to a crime.
Rape is a crime. It happens to both women and men of all sexual identities, although rape crimes against men by women are largely under-reported, as are rapes in the LGBT community. I had a male friend who was raped by a woman. He was a 6-foot tall man who was training to be a martial artist. She was a tiny 5'2 woman who barely came to his chin in sitletto heels. He reported it. It went to court. She was found not guilty. After a period of depression and being victim-shamed, he killed himself.
When I was 17 years old, I was raped by someone I had known and trusted for quite some time. For purposes of this article, I will refer to him as Dude.

J.K. Rowling Has Written a New Harry Potter Story!
In honor of the World Cup, or possibly just because she likes tantalizing us, J.K. Rowling has made her first return to the world of Harry Potter since the end of the seventh book. Die-hard Harry Potter fans have been playing with the website Pottermore for years now, solving puzzles and reading pieces of the book in a new way. Today, Rowling paid off their patience by releasing a new work of fiction, staring the grown-up, 34 year-old Harry Potter.
