Interesting Amateur Sketches of Mario and Co.
I was checking out some Reddit and came upon this guy’s (BansheeIndian) compilation of sketches. Not too shabby. (click to enlarge)
Minecraft Super Mario Land In Stop Motion (and more!)
I came across something quite astonishing. I’ve never played Minecraft, but upwards of 18 million blocks plus a faithful recreation of a classic level completely blew my mind. Enjoy: Link’s Awakening: Tetris: via youtube (MinecraftA2z’s channel)
