Maximum Port

It has been a tough week for PC gaming news for me. Last week Movie Bob declared PC gaming dead. I won’t link him purely on the fact that I feel that every time someone says “PC gaming is dead,” they’re just panhandling for web traffic. Following that up...

A Four Number Combination Lock

This video shows off a working demonstration for my four number combination lock in Minecraft. It’s kind of boring for those who don’t know or care much for redstone circuits but, if nothing else, you can make a drinking game out of it. Every time I say...
