Ported games are never the 'real' thing. They're always a variant version because all the console companies have their own requirements and stances. And when I say modding will be actively discouraged, I mean it will be discouraged in this form. Any mod that will be downloaded will have to come thro...

As someone who works with the Xbox LIVE department, I can confirm that Minecraft is indeed coming to XBLA, and that modding will not be supported, and in all likelihood actively discouraged.

Yay! Happy Birthday Sargunster! Only awesome people have August birthdays. Like us.

From an aesthetics point of view, I would love to have this. However, from a practical point of view I do not exactly see the point. The only block I'm aware of that needs intermittent power is the bellows, and even if there are more blocks that need it in the future, the turntable already adequatel...

He was playing Mount and Blade. Apparently it's one of the most realistic medieval combat games about, and he mightily enjoys that fact. ;)

finite8. The twin tales of your attempts are just... adorable. :)

This is actually decently relevant. Do the turtles or forum mods have ability to take this on?

How the hell can you stay up that late man? xD I can't manage it. Maybe I need to come by and steal some of your coffee.

If nothing else, I look forward to what the Better Than Wolves seed will look like in 1.8

I think you should take it as a compliment that you've inspired people by what you did, and also that people are requesting that you do it instead of notch should tell you something. Believe me, FC is very happy that he's inspired people with his work - he's commented on that more than once. Howeve...

Isn't that what the Off-topic forums are for?

I don't want to discourage discussion on this, but there is a thread titled BTW: Design Philosophy that you should check out in this forum. There is a lot of discussion similar to what you are talking about in there. :)

Yeah another FlowerRant :) ... God damn it! After all the work I put into this thing, and all the nonsense I've had to listen to from the community, I think I've earned the right to force-feed you guys my rambling nonsense every now and again ;) Now to insert the subliminal messages....I will have ...

Worse than creepers when his anger is aroused!

The very first song I can remember that entered my consciousness that was not a children's song as "Take On Me", by Ah-ha. I liked the race cars. >_>

This sounds tricky to code for me. It sounds like it could lead to full storage containers (jars) within storage containers (chests). I know many games do not let you do this, and technicalities are often cited as why.

Just my two cents.

No candle recipe yet. I wonder if we're going to be using it as lubricant later on. Refer to the "The Endermen Come" thread in the off-topic section for details. ;D ... Brain, broke... omg! lol But to answer the question, I think tallow is still slated for a later release. Probably someth...

Application Testing

Pottery?!! *squeals* That sure as hell looks like a kiln to me! I can't wait to see what we can do with this!

Pretty pots... dye pots? Colored pottery.... ceramics... useful in forging ;) Oh dear. *squeals*

I no longer have my first few worlds. They were lost during a computer upgrade, sadly. However, I know I am just beginning to have better design credentials. At least on the inside. I still build boxes. I don't like that but I'll fix it eventually.

Yeah... I've seen better. Oh well. lol

Is it wrong of me that I now have a desire to see these oh so wrong pictures? The sad part is that I can't seem to find them on my own... >_>

I'm not paranoid. Honest! Why ever would you think that? *loud noise* *defensive crouch twitch*

But seriously... I'm kind of a forum noob. I'd never seen a google bot or anything like that before, and didn't know about them. Now I know. And knowing is half the battle.

GI JOE! :D

As far as real life dyeing goes (a hobby of mine), this is actually semi-accurate. Dyes are often applied to cloth and other materials by disolving them in a liquid, heating said liquid, and then soaking the material in the liquid dye. I've dyed various things in a stock pot on the stove before. :) ...

Wonderful video as always, Battosay! Good voice, and it really does make it more understandable and easy to follow.
