2 PAGE 2 DRAGON GAZETTE VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1 Gamers Guide Are you a serious gamer? Well this guide will teach you a lot about the most popular games. Minecraft: Minecraft is an addictive game that lets you build anything. From statues to theme parks to castles, this is on the top ten game list. If we want to learn about the game, we need to learn Minecraft s history. In 2008 Markus Persson, a.k.a. Notch, invented Minecraft. Minecraft wasn t always called Minecraft. Its original name was Cave Game. Notch later changed it to Minecraft because it was the name of another popular game. Mobs: The creeper is the most popular Minecraft symbol around. The creeper was accidentally created. Notch was trying to make a pig but epically failed. Fun Fact: In the 1.4 update of Minecraft, the creeper somehow snuck its way into the A in the Minecraft logo. There have been many mobs but a lot have not been added. There were floating statues and giant zombies but you can still spawn them in with a command in the pc version. I m pretty sure most of you have heard of the mythical HEROBRINE! To this day, no one really knows much about Herobrine. People think he is someone who won t reveal himself to the world, while others think he is just a bug. For most people, he is just plain creepy. By Ethan
