Here's three awesome things Notch has done for Minecraft

Today is Markus Persson's birthday, the creator of Minecraft and founder of Mojang. He's known as Notch by the Minecraft community, and even though he doesn't work on Minecraft anymore he is still a huge figure in the gaming community. Here's five awesome things he has done for our favorite game. Told AVG Antivirus to screw off - Almost a year ago, Notch was approached by AVG Antivirus to bundle their program with Minecraft.

Poll: We want to know how you play Minecraft on consoles!

A while back we did a poll for Pocket Edition players, asking them how they played the game. We were able to get thousands of responses, and with that amount of data we could judge which platforms were more popular, what gamemdoes were played the most, etc. Now we are doing the same for Minecraft on the Xbox 360 and PS3. If you own either of those games, we would love if you could fill out this short poll. After the responses stop altogether, we will make a post outlining the results. Thanks in advance!
