Stones and Bones: This week I bring you some amazing penmanship work done by DZO Oliver. I came across this guys creations through a DiDiPi episode from Vsauce2. On the project page he explains that being out of paper for a short amount of time, he decided to turn to stones and bones as a canvas. His creations are amazing and he does it in such high detail even in small places. You can view more of his work on his website here.

TwitchPlaysPokemon: A 24/7 livestream of Pokemon Red/Blue popped up in Twitch.tv. As you can see on the image above, people watching the livestream can enter button commands for a bot to pick up and translate into the game. Meaning everyone interacts with the game to control and progress through the game. The real fun is in the fact that there's about 60,000+ people watching and throwing commands in at once. Along with the delay between when someone says a command and when the bot picks it up, you get some interesting gameplay. I highly suggest taking a look at the stream and seeing the madness. You can also read these articles here and here for some insight on what exactly is happening and how people have managed to get as far as they have.

Blue Monkey: A Youtube channel that features many animated Minecraft shorts. The animation is well done and each one has gotten laughs out of me. He released a new animation today called "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" and I suggest taking a look at it and see how you like his style.
