The Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure : Episode 3

With starvation no longer a risk, I decide that my most pressing need is to learn a little more about my surroundings. Time to head to higher ground for a better look.

What do you think my next move should be? Drop me a comment either here or on YouTube and let me know!

Mods Mentioned:

Thaumcraft. While I’m still a good way from becoming a Thaumaturge, it is good to know that I have a Silverwood tree nearby. [...]

The Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure : Episode 2

Continuing on from Episode 1.

At the end of Episode One I had a basic shelter, and some stone tools. Not a bad day’s work, but I was beginning to starve to death. In Episode Two I venture back to the forest in search of sustenance.

I’m starting to get the hang of things again, but I need to turn the Minecraft volume down a bit for the next episode. Some of those monsters were being rather rude, and [...]

The Magical Modded Minecraft Misadventure : Episode 1

In which, like any first episode of a Minecraft series, I punch a few trees, make some basic tools, and make a shelter for the night.

But who (or what!) dwells in the house by the river? And where is all that thunder coming from?

It’s recorded in HD, so should look fine in full-screen. You can increase the quality using the little cog icon.

I’ve obviously left it far too long since I made a video. I was [...]

My Adventuring with Ark Minecraft Build

I’ve more or less finalised my Minecraft build for the promised videos. It took a little poking and prodding of config files to get everything working together properly, but it wasn’t terribly difficult. I needed to wait for a few vital pieces to update to Minecraft 1.5.1. That happy event has now occurred, though some are pre-release versions, meaning there’ll be no shortage of bugs to discover as we go.

I should note that I have not dipped into many [...]

Minecraft: The Return

Many moons ago, a young adventurer journeyed through a strange land, punching trees, and dying in a variety of embarrassing ways. Creepers, mostly, as I recall. Some of those adventures were recorded for posterity, and they were kind of popular, at least in comparison to most of what I do here. Took me rather by surprise! Alas, health and other distractions took their toll, and new episodes became rare, and then stopped forever.

Until now. Circumstances have conspired, and the [...]

Defiance TV show will be on iTunes

Trion’s upcoming MMOFPS, Defiance, will be launching twinned with its very own television show. Alas, not all of us have access to the SyFy channel (I can’t take them seriously since they did that to their name), so may have been contemplating “other” means of viewing the Defiance show.

However, as I just learned from a tweet by Defiance writer Clark Perry, it turns out that it will be coming out on iTunes. I’d have preferred Netflix to avoid having [...]

Sim City compensation package is revealed.

I have resisted the urge to post about Sim City, thus far. Suffice it to say that I am deeply displeased, and, anyway, mainstream game journalists are doing a surprisingly good job of covering how broken it is. However, we just got some information on the compensation package, and I thought it might be worth mentioning.
