One of those impossible antics is now very much possible in Minecraft's Java's latest snapshot updates: Ghast airships are real, and they have a lot of potential.It started with April 8's snapshot, a preview of features coming to all Minecraft...
Bloober Team unveiled its new project Cronos: The New Dawn in 2024 with a cinematic trailer that I quite liked: Man in badass spacesuit plays chess with nice old lady and also blasts away at Dead Space-style creepos in a different time/space/dimension/whatever, and then when he loses the chess game he offs her anyway.
