Storyline of the Adventure Map
My name is Steve Morrison. I was a military. In my years in the army, I helped to find several crucial enemies and headquarters, In many places such as Iraq, Taliban, and many others.
Now I'm not in the army anymore. After 5 years I finally came back home and got a job as office assistant in a local business.
It was just a normal day like any other. After work, I went to that bar, the "Mermaid Cove". I saw that girl by the balcony, she seemed special. Had a special brightness in her eyes, and her lips were the most intense that I ever seen.
I thought that, as I got nothing to lose, I could try my luck. I went to the balcony, just next to her, and I asked "Hi, can I buy you a drink?"
She totally accepted, and was so friendly that it seems she was waiting there for me. I had some drinks with her. When I went to the bathroom, she wasn't there anymore. It was late, so I just went home. On my way back, I started feeling dizzy and I just fell in the middle of the street.
Today, I woke up In this strange place. And the only thing here besides me is this annoying robotic voice, telling me what to do.
I hope I'll surivive this, and find out all the story behind what happened, and that mysterious girl.

Date for minecraft PAX version release
Jeb tweeted the release date for the "PAX version" of minecraft.
"The plan right now is to release the "PAX version" of Minecraft ASAP, but there is some crucial work remaining. Sep 8th is a good guess"
So, the release date for minecraft is (almost certainly) September 8th.
(Maybe they just want to have some fun with students)

Why No Steam, Notch?
Original post here
At PAX, I got asked why we’re not on Steam with Minecraft, and I had to answer the question straight out for the first time. So I’ll repeat what I said on here, because openess is awesome.
Steam is the best digital distribution platform I’ve ever seen. I’ve spent incredible amounts of money on it, and I own a crazy amount of games on it. It runs great, offers great services like that shift+tab stuff, and it remembers my credit card details so there’s no barrier for me when I want to buy a game. The only downside I can think of is that offline mode is a bit flimsy, and that the game list is sometimes full off DLC releases for stuff I don’t even own, and those are some tiny complaints!
But..
Being on Steam limits a lot of what we’re allowed to do with the game, and how we’re allowed to talk to our users. We (probably?) wouldn’t be able to, say, sell capes or have a map market place on minecraft.net that works with steam customers in a way that keeps Valve happy. It would effectively split the Minecraft community into two parts, where only some of the players can access all of the weird content we want to add to the game.
We are talking to Valve about this, but I definitely understand their reasons for wanting to control their platform. There’s a certain inherent incompatibility between what we want to do and what they want to do.
So there’s no big argument, we just don’t want to limit what we can do with Minecraft. Also, Steam is awesome. Much more awesome than certain other digital distribution platforms that we would NOT want to release Minecraft on.
Pax Finished
Notch is going back to the mojang offices to finish up 1.8.
So it seems we are getting the Adventure Update in a few days. Great!
