Mein Thumbcraft—IdleT Dedicated Minecraft Server
elmuerte replied to MrHoatzin's topic in Multiplayer Networking
Yes, there's some path finding. But zombies are still dump and take the shortest route. So, make a bridge with water on in, and a bridge further away without water. My worst moment of today was a midget zombie which spawned in the mob spawner below the city. It killed me by surprise (because there was only 1 block open). When I returned that damn zombie had my sword. I survived it with only 1 heart left. -
Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

It was going so well... until I misjumped and landed in spike traps -
Nah... I have the problem with all the tables. The ball simply moves weird, not very natural. Also... holy crap you've got some high scores on those tables.

I had a major score while spelunking below the city, so the stable has 2 saddles and iron horse armor for anyone interested. You can try your luck in finding a horse to the south west of the city. -

I was doing really well. But then I became careless and ran into a tiki trap when I retrieved the idol. (video should be ready about 12 minutes after this post) -
The Business Side of Video (Space) Games EXCLUSIVELY ON IDLE THUMBS
elmuerte replied to Henroid's topic in Video Gaming
Carmack finally leaving is not much of a surprise. Creating games was never Carmacks passion, it was the technology. Id has been failing to deliver worthwhile games, and the new technology has been unsuccessful for years. Carmack has always focused too much on small parts of the bugger picture. This simply doesn't work well in the current size of game engines. Or at least, not when you want to make a successful business out of it. When Carmack announced he became CTO of Occulus recently it was clear for me his days at id were numbered. Once the Occulus Rift has matured I'm sure it won't take a long time before Carmack leaves, unless Occulus wants in different technologies. Carmack is a person you should put in a R&D department, that's were he can shine. So with Carmack leaving id, there's nothing holding back Zenimax to assimilate the remains. Given the fact that id software hasn't done much the past years I think the brand will also simply disappear. -
Which elbow/knee would you give up, given the choice?

Yeah.. hollywood writing. Programmers need legs. How else are they going to get coffee?! -

I did quite well today, reached 2-4, almost made it to the ice caves, but a tiki trap got me. -

I beat 1-1 \o/ And died on 1-3, around the same location as Jon. I'm such an idiot. -
Be aware that these seagate hybrid drives have a long history of issues depending on model, firmware, OS and harddrive controller. You risk data corruption, severe slowness, not working at all. Or it might simply work ok.

Yes, it was brutal. I didn't even clear 1-1 (again). I was at the end, and decided to get the damsel. But I forgot I didn't set off an unfortunately placed arrow trap which launched me into a spike trap. -
The opening Mr. Tasty race also has some lovely moments

I've got some nice moments of yesterday I'll put online later today. Best moment would be Toblix' finishing move during the Prison Rocketlauncher match.

Practice has helped. Although I still carelessly prepared my own death. While planning to pick up the idot I forgot that I put a spider close to me.
