From the minds that created Minecraft, Mojang has recently released a trailer for Scrolls, a game that focuses more on collectible cards, will come out on beta mode starting June 3.

Gaming Betas reports that, to access the beta version, players have to preorder the game for $20. This isn't a bad deal, considering that you not only get to play the beta version, but you also get the game at a cheaper price.

TechCrunch adds that Scrolls has been in the drawing boards for some years already, and it took the settlement between Mojang and Bethesda for it to see a public release. With the success of Minecraft, hopefully a second strike on the gold mine is in the cards for Mojang.

Check out the trailer here to see some of the screenshots of the game.

Curiosity Cube: What happens now that someone has won?

It took quite a while for any progress to be made or reported about Peter Molyneux's Godus. Why? Because fans, players, and curious people have been slowly tapping away at the Curiosity Cube, chipping away to destroy cubelets in the hopes of being that one person to reach the center and find out the life-changing secret within.

And this time, one person has found out what it is--and it's a teenager, Bryan Henderson.

According to Wired, the prize for destroying the last cubelet is to become a god in the game Godus. The game is technically having the power to rule over your own world. But with his life-changing reward, the rule-all god in the world will be Henderson.

The reports continues that Henderson will be working with 22 Cans, wherein he will be putting his rules and moral codes into the game, which will then affect the entire running of the game as well as other players.

As if that' snot enough, Henderson can also profit from the game, as he will have a share in the sales of Godus.

So what does Henderson have to say about all of this? Well for starters, it was anything but expected. "People are going to hate me for this," Henderson said to Wired. "But I only registered for the game earlier this morning, about an hour before I won the thing."

That aside, it seems that he is slowly realizing the extent of influence he will have and the profit that he can make. The game is experimental to say the least--from the teaser portion down to the actual implementation of community rules from the mouth of one ruler, but one thing's for sure: you can consider Henderson's life to be completely changed.

Nintendo & cloud computing: Into the next gen?

Since the reveal of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, it seems as though Nintendo has fallen far behind as its competition race beyond the horizon and into the next generation.

But it's likely that the company is realizing that it has to step up its game if it wants to stay in it, now that reports show Nintendo being interested in cloud computing.

According to N4G, Nintendo's subsidiary, Nintendo European Research & Development team (or NERD), are currently putting out job listings to hire researchers experienced in cloud technology.

In an interview posted on Nintendo's website, it seems that NERD is giving time for its HQ to start work on the platform, so they have taken it up on themselves to explore the possibilities of the cloud.

"I think the first goal we have is to become a key element within the Nintendo group and to prove to Nintendo that it made the right decision by bringing us in. That's why I want to make sure that the very ambitious projects we are currently working on are successful."
