Re: BTW Playing Habits

And yeah, despite my rants about Stephen King in Icy's recent 7 Days videos, I must admit that's one time he got the ending right. Ha, that's probably the greatest part, too. The ending of the movie is different from the source novella, which ends pretty much ambiguously. The ending in the movie wa...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Would you do it if you were already obscenely wealthy though? My impression of Notch is that he already has more than he knows what to do with. Not sure he'll be so easy to purchase as a result, but will be interesting to see how it turns out. I thought about that and you know what? I probably stil...

Not happening. Microsoft has nothing to gain from adquiring a publisher that has already released it's product to other competitors (i.e. Playstation 4, Iphone, Android, PSvita).

Re: Game Design: Skipping failed missions

In a multiplayer game or an MMO, I recognize the need for direct competition toward completion of game content. I also recognize the human psychology that says that you will value the game accomplishments more if there is no "skip" button. Still, I ultimately believe that if I spend my ha...

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Don't misinterpret that as me saying I *will* implement an amplified terrain type. Wasn't thinking that, no. I should clarify it was more of a beat-skip really. You've been more than clear on your stance on terrain gen. yet it seems to be the thing that people are tripping the most over at present....

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

The amplified bit is just an option that has very little to do with the new terrain gen, and would probably be exceedingly simple to implement. Just had a Morv moment reading that. I've seen that they changed it from 36a to 36b already when I reloaded my amplified world, different biomes, different...

Re: Auto Vine Farm - Exploity?

I'm actually surprised it was as complex as it was. Does the Saw-on-turntable-powered-from-above setup no longer work? I haven't kept a world around long enough lately to have gotten to that point.

No, I had no idea :) I play with default textures and don't really follow pack development at all. Looks awesome though, I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks!

Related but slightly offtopic: Panda, it looks like you're using the same texture/resource/whatever they are now pack as ItchyFlea from MCF is. What pack is that? The night sky is awesome in it.

Re: Video game soundtracks

The entire Final Fantasy Tactics OST. Incredible composition, very atmospheric. Adds stress when you don't need it and joy when you do. Even the music in the menu screens never gets old, despite you hearing it for hours and hours in a normal playthrough.
