my screenshot was on the server, Jared's obviously isn't because it's alpha.

Just finished Enslaved. This is a serious must play, the game is simply awesome. It's a bit short though. And there are a few parts in the game that really suck. But for the rest it's absolutely great. Great environments with quite some variation, the fighting works quite well and isn't over complicated with ridiculous key combos. The fighting isn't as good as in Arkham Asylum. Movement is ok, not as good/smooth as in Uncharted, but it's not a PITA. It has nice boss battles, and an awesome end fight. And like most games, completing the game will reward you with a very nice ending. There were 3 things that I hated, and they were basically short dashes through the game with instant death situations. So, I had to redo those parts quite a few times. In order:

not enough green

I want to build something, but I'm out of ideas. I was thinking about creating a massive spire, but that's not really original, nor very interesting.

since when? because I've been making fire since this world started

I did the same for the haunted hill in the previous world. btw, portals are still broken right?

Q4 2011 will easily become Q1 2012. Specially for companies like Blizzard and Valve.

considered! I think you should move it about 6 blocks to the left

I started mining from scratch (i.e. no inventory at all). Wandered off into a direction until I found a hole in the ground. Chopped some wood and started mining. Man this stuff is fucked up. Made a small base in a cave system. But it's quite horrifying to explore the cave system. Around every dark corner could be a creeper. I'm halfway through my health... how do I fix this under ground? No animals, no way to create bread? Any ideas?

Diablo 3 will be released in 2011?!

I've only played the first game (as I'm not buying Ubisoft games since 2010) but yes, Assassin's Creed could have used some assassination techniques.

did you get the cake?

Congrats, it's well the deserved. Idle Thumbs is on all positions in my top 5 podcasts.

The last scarecrow encounter is the best I'll bet there isn't a single one of you that didn't yell "fuck" or similar when that encounter started

we need more zoom levels, the markers are difficult to read. Who's been turning Haven into a glass house? I like transparency, but this is getting too much.

They should hire some people that can write code. Seriously, the bugs are really inconsistent. Things that are pretty much the same, but with different values for texture and hitpoints behave quite differently.

I extended the skyroads. And I lost the diamond pickaxe. I don't know why. First of all, the usage meter rarely dropped, and at certain points it was gone, as it was brand new. During digging it suddenly disappear even though there was no usage meter.

Ok, the demo definitely didn't do the game any good. So far I'm really enjoying the game. It has a good mix of fighting and platforming, with an occasional puzzle. If only the movement was as fluid as with Uncharted. The pacing of this game so far is better than with uncharted. I do miss the free-look ability in this game. The camera is quite fixed.

yeah... it's like a creeper.

/spawn doesn't work well, right now I'm teleported to something else

No I learned Japanese. That one was actually obvious to me. Library with books... some guy speaking Japanese... Must be some book out there. Specially after struggling with with the birthday cake thingy it was a no-brainer for me. Right now I've got all achievements exchange the costume quest (see what I did there) one.

Creating the stairway to haven, and haven itself, took a bunch of moons. Most of it I did myself, and a few others contributed. There really isn't much to it. The trick is to reuse as much as you can from the existing environment. The start is always slow, but once you've got some basic supplies like a safe spot and torches you can harvest and build constantly. Using the day to harvest things look wood or find new open coal. And the night to build interior and prepare for the next day. The thing we've been doing on the Idle MC server is just building cool things to show others. It's not about crafting, but about building. The mobs add an extra challenge to building, and so does working hitpoints. And there's exploring cave systems. Haven't done that yet in the new world.

MERRY RemoTMas

sounds probable, I did find the hot cave though jep, that was it; lame island
