Okay, I admit it: I've been slacking this week. Unexpectedly having duty and some busy days at work have sapped most of my energy, and I just haven't been coming across as much cool stuff to post this week. Check out a week's worth of Dumping after the fold.

Who likes Minecraft? Everyone!!! So today is a Minecraft video extravaganza.

• If you liked Freddie Wong (mentioned in GD#2), then you'll probably enjoy Cardboard Warfare and Cardboard Warfare 1.5.
• Have you seen the trailer for Dead Island? A Minecrafter made a spoof.
• One of the oddities I picked up from Portal was a strange fascination with cake. Not cake in general, mind you, but I like seeing video game-themed cakes. Some fo them are so cool it makes me jealous that my beloved mother stuck to either plain white and chocolate mixes or bought them from the grocery store bakery. For example, this Angry Birds cake comes with a slingshot and little frosting birds to shoot. The fact that I'm not much a fan of the game (it's just a cartoony rip-off of good catapult games like Crush the Castle) doesn't make the cake less awesome.
• While I'm not exactly a huge champion for indie games, I do have a sizable collection of links for flash games I can play at work (take that, stupid taxpayers!). One of my favorite sites is Armor Games, and especially the works of jmtb02 (This Is The Only Level, This Is The Only Level Too, Achievement Unlocked, Achievement Unlocked 2 all have an elephant as the main character). The latest, Elephant Quest is a type of RPG-shooter that is much larger and a lot of fun.
• Wikipedia humor: WikiProject Antarctica Highways. If you didn't know, WikiProjects are collaborations of editors to improve articles within a certain scope, some more narrow than others.

• Manufactoria: assembly-line puzzle game where you have to read, sort, and write programming for robots going through the line. It gets tough pretty quick, unless you have a knack for systems engineering.
• Do you play Minecraft? If so, you'll probably enjoy this video.
• Freddie Wong is a Youtube celebrity who posts videos (usually action videos) that he's edited and done stunts for himself. They are a lot of fun, and he maintains a second channel for the tutorials and behind the scenes stuff.
• A Portal speed run. Whoa. I don't normally watch these, because then I get hyper-jealous, but I'm impressed.
• This photo isn't so much geeky as it is just plain cool (unless you're a tactical geek).
