A retrospective list of stuff I'd add to Minecraft

As of now I'm just venting while I wait for an episode of Pokémon Advance Battle to finish buffering.

Minecraft is without a doubt one of the best games to have recently blessed my gaming life (in my opinion, at least) but I feel there's so much more that could be added, so I suppose I'll wishlist this stuff on my blog because I haven't made a post recently.

- Zombies previously had an odd chance of wearing armour. This did not affect them at all and was later removed from the game, so pretty lame... My first proposition is zombies should have a 15% chance or so of wearing armour, the type of armour being completely random as is how much armour they wear. This means you could get all sorts of obscure combinations, a zombie in a leather helmet and diamond boots, one with a golden chest plate, maybe even chain armour on the rare occasion. Heck, maybe it could have a 5% chance of having a random enchantment! This time, though, the armour actually will affect the zombie's health and will work as normal armour does for the player. Upon defeating the zombie, it's armour is dropped, sustaining any damage it may have taken from attack. It could not only make zombies more threatening (considering them smashing doors isn't threatening at all since they take bloody ages), but also add opportunities for unlucky players to gain a bit of ground.

- Now I'll try to get away from the text wall. Give skeletons say a 30% chance of wielding a random sword instead of a bow. Maybe have them drop their sword on the rare occasion upon defeat.

- Give skeletons a small chance (say 10%) of having an enchanted weapon (this includes the aforementioned swords).

- A rare species of creeper which will have the explosion force of full TNT making it far more deadly than a plain old regular creeper. Maybe have it drop TNT instead of sulphur.

- Name the upcoming sky world the Far Lands after the old end of the map which disappeared when new world generation was implemented.

- Zombie Cowmen, Sheepmen, and Chickenmen. I'm fucking serious.

- Be able to dye redstone in order to make wires which will not connect when placed next to normal redstone.

- Redstone + slime ball to make sticky redstone which can be placed up walls.

- Crossbows that automatically fire arrows at maximum speed however have a limit to how often it can be fired (i.e. it needs half a second or so to recharge). Basically the classic bow but less cheap. Uses pretty much the same enchantments as a normal bow.

- Give skeletons a small chance of wielding crossbows instead of normal bows.

- Potion of Home which upon consumption will teleport you back to your spawn location.

- Potion of Hell which upon consumption will teleport you to the nether (without a portal).

- Have a rare chance of incomplete/destroyed nether portals spawning on the overworld.

- Testificate castletowns which are far larger than the average village.

- Desert wolves, a mob found only in deserts which are passive until you get close to them, at which point they will turn hostile and begin to attack.

- Arachnid Dimension (tentative name), an eternally night dimension inhabited by spiders with the odds of spiders and cave spiders spawning are extremely high. Also features a new mob, the Titanic Spider. Description of which is implied by the title.

Well I could go on but I'm bored. I guess I'll find something else to do until this video loads.

Damn DSL...

Like an Alienware x51 but with an actual moniter and no LED crap

Just thought I'd let people know I've selected the parts for my new PC. They total around £700 and have near enough the same specs as the Alienware x51 meaning I'll have a tonne of power once I have it all assembled. I'm budgeting right now. With any luck I'll have the budget together by as late as my birthday (May), have the parts bought, and assembled.

Yay!

I've lost all hope in some people...

Well... To be honest, I never had hope in them to begin with... But when a person just does something so idiotic or so bad, and claims it's a masterpiece... you've just gotta wonder... are they seriously that idiotic or are they just trolling?

I'm sure certain users know EXACTLY who I'm talking about since I just paraphrased the person but I'm not accusing this person to be the only offender either.

Forshadowing?

So I was checking ESRB's website today. Remember a few years ago the rating for Earthbound was supposedly removed? I searched for it and was suprised to find it's ESRB rating was there for Wii. It's been added again at some point.

Odd... Anyway happy new year. Will have videos up again soon!

Guess what! I'm employed!

Yep. This means in a couple of months or so I'll finally have enough money for a brand-spanking new laptop and I'll be able to throw the netbook in the skip, take a shit on the skip, burn the shit in acid, neutralise the acid with alkaline, drink the water produced, piss out the water, flush the piss, eat the flush mechanism, shit out the flush mechanism, burn the shit in acid, neutralise the acid with alkaline, and so on.

So the laptop I'm looking at is VERY powerful, has all the necessary sound support I need for LPing, and is only £550! It also means I'll finally be able to play that huge ass library of Steam games I've got.

So yeah...

LPing again soon?

So you may have noticed a lot of my recent videos have been VERY filler. Long story short, since the incident that hit me a few month ago I really haven't felt like putting the effort to LP in. I've decided it's high time I get over it. We're slowly approaching the xmas season and I'll probably have some free time on me very soon. Also, despite the fact I only have my built in microphone to work with at the moment, I've been messing around with my audio input settings and should now be able to get a higher quality of input on my recording sessions. I haven't tested this out yet due to illness and me assuming I'm going to sound all funky if I record but watch this space. I've tried it with Stereo Mix input and it seems to be very good.

I'll try to get a recording down when I feel better but right now I'm suffering with a horrible cold and non-working medicine.

So yeah...

This is not a hint and/or spoiler to the future...

Just completely disregard EVERYTHING you see in this post. Particularly the picture. It is not currently, nor will it ever be relevant to anything I get up to here on the internet.

So good.

Custom music... Port a soundtrack?

So recently I've been considering porting a soundtrack from start to finish (ie including aranging the pieces, etc) for use in SMW. Soundtrack projects seem to be something that many porters are getting their claws into so I'm thinking why not?

Most likely I'll be porting the Mother 1 soundtrack. Why have I chosen this soundtrack? Simple! The music is great!

Also I can get down to this:



That is all...

Lookie! Minecraft 1.9 Pre-release! New Lunar Magic! Other shizzle... Makes for a big update!

Well do you recall me saying GOP and I would LP Minecraft till 1.8? Well check it out! We're finished before we started! I hope you enjoyed our extensive LP of Minecraft. There have been some amazing times. Remember when we didn't record that one time?

I've had a few PMs recently too and have been reading a lot of comments... A reccuring question is 'where can I get the pre-release 1.9?'.

Well if you've really never thought of checking the home page of the minecraft forums, CHECK THEM!

Quite a heafty update too so you're in for a real treat! I made an army of snow golems! I blew up a netherbrick fortress using infinite TNT!

Yeah Notch and the gang have sure out-done themselves this time.

Also we have a NEW Lunar Magic! Yay? Well... Maybe... I'm still using an out-dated version... Why? I dunno. I guess I'm just waiting for an overhall... The new LM boasts a completely new Map-16 interface along with the familiar level designing capabilites.

Compatibility issues? As yet I'm not sure of any. I may have to redo some Teamhackerz1 tutorials due to the overhall.

The final thing I want to point out is lack of uploads...

Remember how I uploaded that Mario Kart video yesterday? Well that took me half an hour to upload near enough... This basically means every second of the video takes about 1 minute to upload at my current speeds.

I'm looking for an upload booster since I really want to flex my longer video limits. It'll mean I don't have to rush in Mystery Dungeon anymore!

Also yes, Mystery Dungeon is still on...

Well I guess that about covers the wacky blathering bullshit consuming my life for the moment.

Peace out y'all!

If I were to marry any item from Mario Kart...

Definetly the red shell:

Hiatus?

You may or may not have noticed my mini hiatus. Either way, I'm back now so there's no need to worry.

Where's Minecraft?

So a lot of people may be asking where the Minecraft LP is. Two words: Blame GOP.

Basically we made a test recording (which was basically me buttfucking his world with masses of TNT) and he's been having rendering problems with Sony Vegas so he is looking into alternative editing software.

So watch this space I guess...

Missing videos? Longer times! Sort of update on Minecraft.

You may notice that a few older videos have gone missing. I decided to delete some content ID matching videos that I really didn't care about anymore. I'd been meaning to do so for a while now so I finally got round to it!

I kept two videos matching 3rd party content. These were the two I felt still had a place among my videos. The first video is the Legend of Miyamoto video I recorded from Newgrounds a while ago. The second video is The Fresh Prince of Subcon. This was my Fresh Prince of Bel Air mashup I made.

Any dedicates of my videos should notice which ones have gone missing.

After checking off those videos, I went to upload my update video announcing this blog properly and noticed that I have qualified for the unlimited time limit! That means I wont have to cut things from my Minecraft LP with GOP.

Speaking of which, we were discussing the LP today and we decided, rather than just stop at the nether, we'll carry on going until the 1.8 update when Minecraft gets it's complete makover. We'll also do a few episodes in the 1.8 update to show off the new stuff such as the Endermen, adventure mode, and the none-zombie pigmen NPCs (if they are actually added in).

Instead of making each episode a single day/night cycle, we've decided we'll set mini-targets for each episode and carry on filming until we've acomplished that episode's mini-target. We're going to start recording tomorrow, fingers crossed and will still be uploading weekly.

That's a very nice Let's Play you have there...

Well I might as well come out and say it. I'm planning on starting a new collab Let's Play with GOP1994GOP. What are we playing? Well if you haven't guessed from the title of the post, we're playing Minecraft! We're going to be doing multiplayer survival. As for how far into the game we'll play? We're going to try to visit the nether at least once (which will probably end in disaster). We'll be prerecording in bulk and release the episodes weekly (or however we see fit) on both our channels. A single episode will consist of a single day/night cycle.

We should be starting the first set of recordings tomorrow if everything goes to plan. We'll soon see!

So, here we are hey?

Yep looks like I finally went and made a blog. Now you can keep up with all the random blathering bullshit that goes on in my life. I'll also post info about videos here so keep tabs on this here blog!
