  1. That's why villager conservation is so important. Something about their physiology makes them immune to the zombie plague. They are our only hope against the zombie epidemic. With time, we will someday derive a cure from their unique genetic makeup. Only when this cure is found, will we be able to burn them all in a fire without forsaking ourselves at the same time. Oh and the zombies are supposed to be dead players, which is why they look like the default "Steve" skin.
  2. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    Ah. Well I hope that with only half a book to adapt they will have an easier time next season. Let me know if you do come by one of those time continuum disrupting devices.
  3. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    Yeah. That just happened. This whole season was a mess, so I'm not surprised it ended like one.
  4. Killing the ones who stray isn't that big a deal. The ones remaining in town will repopulate.
  5. Last time I checked about 9 of them were stuck inside the nether portal glass dome on the town square side opposite of the entrance. I have no clue how they get in there in the first place, but they wanted out. I made a tunnel leading back to the town square, and they flooded through it. They have since returned to their usual slamming of doors, and occasional breeding.
  6. I doubt ender chests will be a problem... just don't leave stuff in it if you dont need to. It's not storage, its a way to move stuff around. Also... Elmuerte's riddle.
  7. Minecraft

    Correction... In the Enchanting UI. The cost of the 3rd (bottom) enchant will always be the allowed max strength for that enchanting table (depends on how many bookshelves you have around it - again the new max is 30). Finally. No more refreshing the window for 5 minutes looking for a 45-50 enchant !!
  8. Minecraft

    Snapshot 12w22a is out. http://www.mojang.co...apshot-week-22/ Villager Trading. Villagers may now require multiple different items (usually emeralds + something else) for a trade. This works well with the fact that Priests (purple villagers) will "enchant" items for you e.g. trade some emeralds + iron pickaxe for a low level enchanted iron pickaxe. Also Emeralds can now be crafted into decorative Emerald Blocks. Works well as compact storage for all your emeralds. Echanting. New max level for enchanting is 30 (down from 50). Max level enchants (30) are now more likely to provide multiple enchants. Doing random stuff gives players experience now.. using furnaces, mining "rare" ores (anything rarer than gold it seems). No doubt so the peaceful playesr can get their enchanting on. Jungle Temples. Made of cobble and vines, these temples have a chance of generating in jungles. A few chests in there, one behind a lever activated piston door, and a few tripwire activated arrow dispensors for the authentic Indiana Jones experience. Tripwires. Players can now craft tripwire hooks, and run string from one to the other (max length 18). String can float through the air. Crossing through the string blocks will cause a redstone current at both hooks. Adventure Mode. Players can now play in adventure mode (/gamemode 2). This is for community made adventure maps. In adventure mode players can't break/place blocks, but can open doors, operate levers/buttons, and eat like normal players. Cute shit. Cauldrons caught in the rain will slowly fill with water. Rain will now drip through tree leaves. Nether portals will (rarely) spawn zombie pigmen in the overworld. That portal to hell in the basement wasn't such a good idea after all. Let the invasion begin!
  9. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    I'm just repeating what I heard. That doesn't mean it will necessarily be the last episode. They may just do what you said.
  10. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    I knew I made the right choice when I saved Doug from those zombies.
  11. Game of Thrones (TV show)

    It's good when you consider how many people actually pay for HBO. Way less than people with basic cable. As for all the ASoIaF spoiler talk above... Benioff and Weiss already said that the third book (A Storm of Swords), being even longer than the second, would be impossible to fit into HBO's strict 10 episode season format. They confirmed that it will be split over two seasons. The scene I think Orvidos is eluding to ( ) has also been confirmed to be the big season 3 closer, which is a perfect fit... it happens about halfway in book 3, and it has some broad repercussions on the story. I'm looking forward to seeing what they will do with more time. Season 2 feels rushed compared to season 1. I thought they did a good job adapting the first book to the 10 episode format, but the second book (being longer) took a lot more cutting, and cramming. Which has led to some poorly paced, poorly set-up scenes throughout the season. Now season 3 has less book pages to adapt than the first season, so I'm hoping they can capitalize on some solid scenes/character moments, and have less "let's push this story forward" dialogue.
  12. Neptune's Bountiful Pride 6!

    I'm going to rest on my laurels for a bit (aka not push my luck). Maybe next time.
  13. Ooh a quest. I'll give it a go on the weekend.
  14. Far Cry 3

    Pre E3 Hype trailer.
  15. The Binding of Isaac

    Just play it for a bit before buying the DLC. As you pointed out, there is lots of collect and see in vanilla Isaac already. Isaac is a love it or hate it game for me and my friends. So it should be clear soon enough what you should do. Obvious advice is obvious.
  16. All you need is two, and just breed the shit out of them. The villager kids spawn as a random type, so you don't need to get one of each type to get all the trading options. So don't kill yourself trying to haul a bunch cross country. Plus you can haul off the extras to the iron farm.
  17. The Binding of Isaac

    Loved Isaac. Thanks for the reminder. Going to pick this up this weekend.
  18. Then explain to me why when I read your posts it sounds like rolling thunder in my head. As for the castle. I don't mind making a castle. I'm more into it for the co-op build experience. As for ideas, I'd like to put out the following ideas... floating (start at cloud layer, no silly land mass underneath), lots of spires, asymmetric with some interesting play with verticality, and most importantly modular so when interest wanes we end up with one unfinished structure among other finished pieces, instead of a giant unfinished project.
  19. I had the same thought initially, but I do believe it is something every Minecraft player needs to get out of their system. It is as if people can't see the innumerable build possibilities hidden behind the mighty ramparts of their dream castle. And we should give him the benefit of doubt. Maybe he has a really cool idea for a castle.
  20. Neptune's Bountiful Pride 6!

    Today is a glorious day for all Purple Bearded Space Slugs across the galaxy! First off, I'd like to thank my common law space partner, the Yellow Angry Space Crabs, for their relentless support as we each conquered our respective side of the galaxy. The victory is as much theirs as it is ours. Congratulations Yellow Angry Space Crabs! Also I'd like to apologize to the Red Spiky Tentacle Beasts for not respecting our Technological Trade agreement. We could no longer honour our arrangement, nor could we admit our new alliance with Yellow, we hope you understand. Though, without your initial range tech we would never have been able to colonize the far reaches surrounding our homeworld, and the galaxy would have been far worse for it. Thanks. To all other surviving sentient space-faring beings.. Congratulations! Your mind control collars are in the mail. Serve us well, or be turned into nutrient rich paste. Good Game guys.
  21. What kind of castle? Got something specific in mind?
  22. There already are quite a few large builds in progress. Some more finished than others... maybe somebody could use some help. Though it's likely most people are making it up as they go. So it would be hard to split the job. That said, if the server isn't resetting any time soon, I'd be up for another large build. Do you have something in mind?
