Minecraft 1.7.3

Okay I need to say two things, I have heard rumors and watched videos about the upcoming 1.7.3 update for minecraft, and I don't know if I should say the people at Mojang, are crazy, bored, or just having fun. Recently they have added fishing back in a sense, we all know it was always there, but we didn't actually fish much, except perhaps pig and ghast fishing (If you haven't tried these they are fun, ghast fishing is more known, it is simply hooking ghasts pulling them to you, then attacking them as the try to run. The other is my favorite, it might go by some other names to, but you simply build up a tower or find a tall place to stand and look off (the taller the better, unless you can't hook the ground.), then simply hook a pig, a mob, or an animal, then reel in... Why? Well... Who doesn't want to see a pig flying through the sky until it falls to its death. It just allows all those pigs with good dreams of flying get to go skydiving. Even if it is without a parachute. Think thy will notice. Anyway now enchanting fishing poles with new enchantments on an enchantment table, pufferfish, salmon, and of course treasure (who doesn't like carrots, saddles, boots, etc.) add to fishing and seem to bring it back out of the dark, making it a big thing to do again, a fun way to get food and prizes. But this new update continues the fun, of course all those bug fixes, etc. taking away all the fun from those who realize them and find a way to use them to their advantage. If you haven't done that try it, sometimes it is amazing what you can do(especially with potion effects). But now they are truly going crazy with the updates, they are kind of fun, like chicken jockeys and rainbow sheep. Who doesn't want to see baby zombies riding chickens like madmen, and sheep died multiple colors? I of course do, then again I would also like to see miniature dinosaurs wearing clothes and reading books with British accents ("Alcatraz" by Brandon Sanderson reference). The point is I'm crazy and I love stuff like this.

McEdti and your Minecraft building experience.

Oh McEdit. I love it, but if you are anything like me, it takes some getting used to, I still am. Mcedit is not a mod, used to be, but now its not. You don't have to install it like a mod into minecraft, it is simply its own program that can run with minecraft. If you have ever played any awesome adventure maps before, like the ones by blamethecontroller and vex(don't blame me if i spelled it wrong) it is probably at least partially made in mcEdit. This program basically lets you make gigantic well detailed formations and buildings quickly. Whether you are making an arch that looks like it could have spawned that way, making an exploding volcano, a huge mountain of tnt, underground fortresses, floating sky islands, buildings, spikes rising out of the ocean, want to flatten land, make a pond, caves or a mine, this is what you want to use. The hardest thing to get used to in my opinion is using w, a, s, d, I am already used to but also using j, k, l, and i at the same time can be tricky. IF YOU HAVE NEVER USED THIS PROGRAM GET IT NOW! PLEASE, ONCE YOU FIGURE IT OUT YOU WILL THANK ME. So, just as an example I will explain how to build an arch.


  1. Open mcEdit and make sure Minecraft is closed.
  2. Make a New world or open the one you want to change.
  3. Click The second tool (I think), it should pull up a properties like window to the left of the screen, change it to a sphere and choose a reasonable size (and if it is what you want, I suggest using stone)
  4. Stack speres merging one into another to form the shape of the arch.
  5. Save, and close mcEdit and load in minecraft to make sure it can generate it.
  6. Close Minecraft and load it in mcEdit again.
  7. Change to Rectangle and make a slab of sand above the arch only a couple blocks thick.
  8. Now Close mcEdit and go back into minecraft. Destroy one block of sand to cause it to fall over the arch.
  9. Rather destroy the excess sand by hand or in mcEdit
  10. Now open back mcEdit if not already in it. highlight the arch (all of it) and use the third or fourth tool i think (called fill and Replace) and choose sand, then click replace on the settings on the left, then choose dirt or whatever and click replace.
  11. Thank me Later. You can buy me something in the future(like a minecon ticket.)

Minecraft Building Skills

Ok, don't yell at me yet, when i say this, but chances are if you are playing minecraft and not making maps, or sometimes even when you are your building skills probably suck. This is how it is with most people. When you start a world, don't immediately look for food or mine, first get a bed then lots of wood, cobble, and sand to make into glass. then you can make a decent house. NEVER NEVER NEVER make a house out of dirt unless you are planning to detonate it the next day... Never have a house that isn't lit up, even if you use charcoal (it is it's only useful use in my opinion).

  1. And NEVER go your first day without a bed, I mean even in creative it is nice or time set, but survival is vital, most people won't ever survive the first night if you run around like an idiot gaining exp like a madman until that one creeper walks up behind you while you are typing good-night to yourself and blows you up! I have seen this so many times especially in hardcore, and guess what? Good Night Level! MAKE A BED that is the first step to survival building and a strong suggestion to creative building if you don't want it to be night or to use nightvision.
  2.  Anyway the second step is NEVER flatten the land, use the environment to your advantage, build with it not destroy it, trust me it might make it more complicated, but it looks a billion times better.
  3.  Third NEVER make it perfectly square, most minecrafters are rather sick of squares or should be, be creative make it a cool shape without it looking like a piece of crap.
  4. Fourth, don't keep it only to that shape... make some indents or something, make something to look at, make a frame around your walls or something like that.
  5. Fifth, make some kind of roof and balconies. Whether they be inside or outside stepped or flat, make them something to look at. If you want a flat roof that bad, make a railing out of fences or something, most minecrafters are sick of flat roofs.
  6.  Sixth, find villages, and steal some of their ideas and play with that, look at others creations and copy some of their ideas and designs.
  7. Seventh, oh how I love the number seven...  don't use super flat unless they will never see the outside, I suggest not using it anyway.
  8. Eighth, find cool seeds, find something that people want to explore, not something that they will always want to be inside.
  9. Ninth, put some adventure into it, make it something people want to explore, make hidden chests full of your extra dirt or cobble or lapis you don't need. Lapis is useless...
  10. Tenth, try, try, again. Trust me, if you don't wake up tomorrow it is probably due to you giving up in minecraft. Or maybe you never watched blue's clues and winnie the pooh as a kid, and should go look it up on Netflix before the Grim Reaper comes to suck out your soul like a dementer. wooohewoewoowho! My point is if you ever give up you are screwed.
  11. Eleventeenth tip is pillars and supports. especially if your house is floating or built into a mountain or on the ocean, give some kind of supports, usually fences, and make them look good. This is a vital rule in bridges, docks, and mountain buildings, plus pillars look nice too, especially if made of quarts slabs, stairs, and blocks.
  12. Twelveteenthish, know what you are doing and explore on it a little bit. Making an execution stage? Use leads, hang chickens, make it cool.
  13. Thirteenthteenth, MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL!!! Don't just let it sit there and do nothing. The only reason I usually hate creation maps more than adventure maps. Add some adventure, dive into redstone a little bit, add monsters to fight, and spawners, and chests! Add ghast fights with fishing poles, let me earn a freakin' awesome fishing pole of doom! Let me find an amazing battle axe, do something with the Custom NPCs mod, basically make it an adventure map, or a survival map, or a game, or pvp map.
  14. Next use the Custom NPCs mod. Really no jokes, this is one of the best mods I have ever seen, for servers, maps, everything, this one is required. Please help me get enough people using it that Mojang will decide to throw it into vanilla.
  15. Seventh... Use MCedit, this is not a mod techniquely it is its own program that works with minecraft maps. Try it out its both fun and amazing, and it will save you A TON of time. If confused or wanting to see how to both use it and be better at it, look up blamethecontroller's videos on youtube.

League of Legends

I hate League of Legends

Sharing The Planetside Dream

Planetside 2 is taking the world by storm... Yet it still seems like it has a somewhat small community. Do you love Halo? Do you love Call of Duty? Do you love Battlefield? DO YOU LOVE ANYTHING?! Whether you answered yes or no or not answering to any of these questions, you should play Planetside 2. Are you still reading this? Is Planetside downloading in the background? If not, what are you doing right now?! Go... anyway Planetside is probably one of the best nearly unending games I know. It rarely starts over... Only when one of the teams reach an unfair advantage. Anyway my first suggestion when  you start is try to get some turret or something on your ATV it is the easiest vehicle to get and once you get used to it, you can completely dominate with it... I don't know what else to say right now, so go play it, or you may not wake up tomorrow! MWA HA HA HA! MWA SDHFAIAK  JEFKLNAKGNDK JIEJGKASHA! MW329 2385JIW J93JQAW!!

The Kingdom Hearts Legacy

    Kingdom Hearts is easily the best rpg game ever invented. In my opinion it ties or might even out do Minecraft, and might just last as long. As a kid my older brother would always play it, and even though it fascinated me and I loved to see the Disney characters I would recognize, it confused me and I never understood any of the plot or the point of you running around killing shadows with an oversized sharp edged key. Yet over time I remembered the game and built interest in it again. The odd game that stood out to the world, yet sounded odd at the beginning, I mean really, DISNEY and SQUARE ENIX together?! Really? Sounded Like a Joke the first time.
I'm pretty sure the entire gaming world was shocked by this game series, those who haven't played this game Really shoULd, so stop reading this now... GO! GO BUY THE GAMES AND ALL THE CONSOLES NEEDED TO PLAY ALL OF THEM, then let me borrow all the ones I haven't beaten, Thank You. No Seriously Go! Just Kidding,

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

When most people think of this game they usually see it as the one Kingdom Hearts game they rather haven't played or just the do missions and eat ice cream on a tower game in the series, but in my opinion it is much bigger than you would think. I don't want to spoil the game for anyone who hasn't played it... Okay that was a lie. I REALLY want to spoil it for you... so if you don't want it spoiled go play it now! Stop reading this, get off you bottom and go get it NOW! But for any of you that want it spoiled here you go: Roxas is Sora's Nobody if you didn't know that you should probably go play Kingdom Hearts I again... No seriously. He was created as an after effect of the remaining light in Sora's heart when turned into a heartless, he was given a new name (Roxas-mysteriously Sora mixed up with an X) by the organization who tries to harness the power of the legendary keyblade he can summon, if none of this makes any sense to you go play Kingdom Hearts I and Chain of memories again. Xemnas (mysteriously Ansem mixed up with an X) who leads the organization brainwashes most of them into doing his bidding so he can take Kingdom Hearts mysterious power through Roxas' keyblade and the hearts they release. But now things get sticky, first of all I'm a noob, so if i mess anything up, it may just be my noobish opinion, don't get angry at me for that, anyway Organization XIII allows a fourteenth member shortly before they head to Castle Oblivion ( I know what you are saying right now, if you know who they even are A FOURTEENTH MEMBER OF ORGANIZATION THIRTEEN, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON! IF YOU ARE READING THIS JUST BECAUSE IT IS CAPS, EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING, STOP IT! Anyway They allow Xion, who I will ruin for you SHE'S A PUPPET created to copy sora and roxas' abilties of the keyblade, who ends up finding Riku, then trying to kill Roxas and herself to give Sora back the memories both of them had currently been taken, When that fails Riku kills Roxas himself and somehow gives him a new life in Twilight Town, meanwhile Axel starts to like Roxas, Sora, and Xion and ends up getting suspicious about the organization. Anyway if you haven't played it you probably shouldn't be reading this, you should probably be getting a DS to play it on if you don't already.
