EDIT: Done now. Nice to see some of yous!

Good to see you online again :-)

Oh cool. I missed the stream, but here's a recording. off i go...

I just got down to the office. I like Vioki's streams. Hopefully he will pop up tonight, although even if it's not a holiday for his people, it's a bit late over there.

Two popular Yt'ers video ( I recognize them, anyway) explain why they won't be able to produce a promised BTW series. (Spoiler: They are awful and suicidal).

The shaking drumsticks are brilliant!

I used to read and follow all that stuff on talk.origins (on Usenet) back in the day. Doesn't seem like much has changed. Overly smug TV Scientist vs. Old-fashioned, but harmless belief system.

HC spawn is hard man :( I just delete worlds where I hcs too far away. I know I'm never going to make it back to my base anyways, so why keep playing there? I just start a new world I hope I don't make the same mistake again. Yer missing the point. HC spawn making you start over and build new littl...

There was one video from Voicki (sp?) that had no voice. But it was the recording of him mining to find enough resources for a compass and trying to find his way from HardcoreSpawn. So it had a definite plot and tension to keep you interested. And don't worry too much about the sound of your own voi...

First time I used a millstone, I saw the "grinding completion" icon in the gui, showing a half-blank gear. I assumed this indicated that the millstone was wearing out it's wooden gear, so I spent the rest of the play session making more gears and trying to "install" them into the...

I don't think there is black dye, is there? I would really like that, since I'm from Pittsburgh so have a genetic imperative to fly the Black 'n' Gold.

The bridge to your farm looks like a death trap :-)

If they don't spoil any plans you have for the future, I'd love to hear what these rules are!

There were a couple clues in FC's post....

I find that I am subsisting quite happily at my base without chickens or animal breeding. I eat pumpkin seeds all day and hoard fish (I fish whenever it rains), mushrooms, and the odd bits of meat that I can obtain when exploring. I haven't started grinding hemp for windmill sails quite yet, but I'm...

That guy actually has some pretty profound things to say about movies, when he's tired of screaming into the camera.

Sargunster.com has also recently been added to Barracuda's category list under "Gaming Sites." So, yeah, welcome to the big time :-)

Pittsburgh PA, United States Verizon FIOS I have been experiencing random problems with Youtube video. Videos load OK, but will frequently just stop randomly during playback. Not buffering or pausing, the video just stops until some random time period passes or I hit the pause/play button a few time...

You are far better off using those diamonds for a hoe and settling down with some chickens. I just found one of those temples. Didn't have any diamonds, but I made my hoe from some of the gold I found there. Considering the modest size of my current hemp and pumpkin farm, it seemed like a good use ...

I farmed (and ate) a mushroom today. I might not starve :-)

Well, looks like it's time for a new world tonight. And there I was, dangerously close to building a windmill. (Never did find a village, though)

I've built a lot of PCs for the office over the years, and really all it requires is basic screwdriver skills. Look on youtube for videos so you can actually see if once before you have to lay hands on parts yourself. Probably any pc magazine or enthuist web sites will have tutorials and "best ...

Looks like CartographG or something similar.

Ok, so funny ending to my story. I started up MC and started a new base and tools and food supply to mine down to get iron and redstone to make a compass and some armor to survive a walk home. I had to pause the game to take care of some household matters, but when I checked back, it turned out that...

So, it's supposed to work like that? I wish I would have known that, it would have saved me from a lot of frustration. I thought something was broken or the Fates were conspiring against me.

I'll just start back up again and bury myself in the snow until the sun comes up...

Predictable?? I'm currently re-spawning in the exact same creeper-bomb ridden skeleton-infested spot that I've respawned in after getting killed (cause it's night and/or raining I have no protection or weapons) the last 6 or 7 times. Add another half-dozen times respawning in the same snow biome aft...

Well, following ImSheroPsu's suggestion, I generated a world based on "Temple" seed. The big arch (trying think up a cool name for it) looks great and gives me a natural landmark to start off with. I have a small base in the forest at the mouth of a cave that leads back up to the surface i...
