Today is the 17th. That means we’ve had this little terror of a puppy that my dad wanted but refuses to take care of for exactly two months. Oh, the video game? Sorry, I’m blank there.

• One of Minecraft’s stranger native species is the creeper, an electrically charged predator with a haunting mug. The game's creator didn’t actually set out to design such a monster; he was trying to create a pig, but accidentally switched the figures for desired height and length when inputting the code. The result was the monstrosity that players know and love
