Ok this post is probably going to cause hate mail, but you know what? this is the internet, if you don’t like what I write then you should cancel all internet access because I have news for you, the internet if FULL of people who have a say in everything (just like me).
So Steve Jobs died yesterday, I’ve read so much on this already that its making me sick. The worst part of this is random people on Facebook crying that Steve Jobs died...
Since when did the human race become so empathetic? Since when did you cry for the old lady begging for money outside in the rain? Since when did you cry over the little girl who has no home and has to beg in order to be able eat? Since when did you cry for the woman getting raped in war torn countries? Since when did you cry for the thousands upon thousands who die of starvation every day? Since when did you cry for Susie who lost her father to Pancreatic Cancer?
I hope you get my point and don’t take this the wrong way, death is tragic... I’ve tasted it like nearly every other person has, I just don’t think we should glamorise Steve Jobs as a revolutionary because you hold an iPhone in your hand right now...

Mojang vs Bethesda
So this is a basic rundown of what has happened quoted from http://www.gamasutra.com/
-----------------------
Minecraft developer Mojang today received a notice from a Swedish court, stating that Elder Scrolls publisher Bethesda is going ahead with the infringement claim regarding upcoming title Scrolls.
Last month, Mojang received a letter from Bethesda accusing the Swedish studio of infringing on Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls trademark with its in-development digital card game Scrolls.
"The Scrolls case is going to court!" revealed developer Markus Persson via Twitter.
-------------------------
I think this has gone out of control for no apparent reason, I've been an Elder Scrolls fan since back in the day and I made no association with Scrolls vs Elder Scrolls. This just seems like a case of "wait we can make more money here!".
What on earth gives Bethesda the right to challenge the fact that someone is using the word Scroll in their title? My gaming senses tell me that Bethesda are scared to lose customers to Mojang just like Blizzard has. I say harden the f##k up Bethesda, if you’re scared of competition you should stop making games because you should know that the gaming industry is one of the hardest industries to be in. Instead of wasting money on lawyers Bethesda why don’t you just do what you do best... make games!
