Pretty Scary Update Trailer!

Minecraft: 1.4 The pretty scary update!

Minecraft: Two new Weekly Snapshots!

The new weekly snapshot is finally released, and we got 2 this week!
Here's the changelog:

12w41a

• Added a new Anvil Block for repairing, merging & naming items
  • Three different damage states: Anvil, Slightly Damaged Anvil, and Very Damaged Anvil.
  • Anvils can not only rename tools and armor, but any item.
    • Renamed placeable items will not retain their name if placed.
  • Anvils can merge enchantments! The system is complex
    • Items with two different enchantments will give an item with both
    • Items with the same enchantment will increase the level of the enchantment if they have the same level or take only the highest if they don't
    • Some enchantments can be lost during the merging because of incompatibility (ex: Sharpness I + Smite I)
      • The first item seems to have the priority (the lost enchantments are on the second item)
  • Anvils can also be dropped in a similar manner to Sand, Gravel, and Dragon Eggs.
    • When landing on a mob, the anvil will deal damage relative to the distance it fell.
• Renamed Chat Settings to Multiplayer Settings
  • Contains the old chat settings menu
  • Option for cape-owners to hide their capes ingame
• Tweaks to debugging
  • F3+H now shows tool and armor durability on damaged items - On maps it shows the zoom level
  • Now shows which cardinal direction the player is facing on the f value
  • The pie chart on the F3 overlay is now shown when opening it using shift+F3 instead of vice versa
• Mobs no longer forget that they are aggressive against a player in Creative mode after a few seconds anymore
• Creepers now can have custom explosion radius and fuse timer using edited mob spawners and NBT tags (ExplosionRadius & Fuse)^{reference needed}
• Effects given by the Beacon will be less intrusive on the screen
• Level-up sound now only plays every 5 levels and has been tweaked.
• Gaining experience from breeding animals.
• More tweaks!

Sethbling's new enderpearl trick

Thought you guys might find this interesting.

That's it. In a few day i'll show you all the project that i'm working on, when it's finished, bye guys.

Minecraft: Better ways of farming!

Hello guys, today i wanted to show you some efficient ways of farming wheat and sugarcanes, and compare them to the most used ones.

Most popular Wheat Farm:


This is the most used wheat farm in minecraft, a row of water, and then a row of wheat.

Most efficient Wheat Farm:


You don't actually need every grass to have water adjacent to it, all the grass in that zone will get wet.

Most popular Sugar Cane Farm:


This one is not as incorrect as the most popular wheat farm, since you do need to have every grass block adjacent to a water block, but if we think about it a little more, there's a better way of doing this.

Most efficient Sugar Cane Farm:


With the help of this little pattern, we can get every glass block to be adjacent to a water block.
Here's a better look at the pattern:


Extra tip: Use lilly pads in your farms so you won't fall to the water!

HAND THING

I'm learning to play guitar!

Hello guys, i realized i haven't been making many entries lately, so i decided to make one, telling you the big news in my life.

There was supposed to be an image

of a guitar right here, but blogspot failed :(

Yeah, as the title says, i'm learning to play guitar, something i wanted to do since i was a child, but for various reasons i couldn't.

That's it, bye!

For all the guys who hate Final Fantasy

In the time i've seen quite a while of people who says "I hate Final Fantasy", and that makes me kinda sad, here i'm going to explain why.

I can't decide wich one is the best.

The first game of the saga, Final Fantasy I, was released in Japan in the year 1987, and since then there has been more than a hundred games in the saga! The saga in his beginning was really great, i mean, Final Fantasy I established a great concept wich we now see in almost every RPG, Final Fantasy II used that concept and made a great story with deep characters, after that, every Final Fantasy after the other was a great deep story, lots of secrets and lots of fun.

That was, until the release of Final Fantasy IX, that was, for me, the moment in wich the Final Fantasy Saga started to become something completely stupid and different from what we have been seen.

That is the reason because there's a lot of people that hate the Final Fantasy saga, because they have just played the newest ones, and haven't tried the old great ones, such as the ones from the SNES, and the great ones from the PSONE.

Breading Cats: The new cat sensation

You may have already notest that i really love cats, you know, i post pictures of them all the time, and even, my last entry was about cats! So i decided to show you something i really love about cats. And bread.

The website is the one from the image, and a lot of people with cat is doing it! What you have to do is take a slice of bread, cut a hole in it and place it in your cat's head without including the ears, it looks amazingly cute! I wanted to do it myself with my cat, but he won't let me :( If i ever get to do it, i'll make and entry about it. So, i don't have much to talk about, so i will just post here some more pictures about breading cats that i liked.

6 reasons why cats are better than dogs

Click it. Now.

1: A Dog will open his heart for the first person he sees and to everybody. You have to win a cat's heart and it will always be yours.

2: A dog LOVES when you comfort it and NEEDS it. A cat LOVES it but doesn't need it.

3: Just look at them, are you going to tell me that there's any dog in earth that's better than earth? I don't think so.

4: A cat is always funny or cute to watch, that's why there are so many photos or videos about cats.

5: You don't need to wear gloves or any kind of protection to play with a cat, doesn't matter how big it is.

6: Sand. Box.

6 Nintendo games that you should own.

Noticed that the title doesn't say "top", that's because this isn't a top list!. In this entry i decided that i could list some repetitive Nintendo DS games that you should own. That means games that you could play a million times and never get bored of it or that just are games that doesn't have an especific ending. You know how it goes.

Disgaea DS

This is an addictive grinding game with a really funny story. You don't need to know much about this game before you play it anyway. Consider this is the worst version of this game, but it still manages to be great, so if you liked this, you should try out the PSP or PS2 version.

Pokémon

Pokémon, any pokémon will do. Pearl, Diamond, White or Black. If you want to see the new Pokémons choose Pokemon White or Black, but if you want to keep seeing the classic ones, you should choose Pearl or Diamond, because absolutely all the Pokémons from White and Black are the ones from the last generation.

Advance Wars

It doesn't really matter wich one of the two you choose, they're both similar and the both are adictive and exactly what i'm trying to focus on this list. Anyway, if i have to say it, i'll say that Days of Ruin is my personal favorite.

Air Traffic Chaos

You play as an air traffic controller, one of the most stressing jobs and with the higher rates of suicide. It may not sound so entertraining, but you have to believe me, it really is.

Contra 4

The fourth game of this amazing and incredibly hard saga, you can spend lots of time trying to beat this game in the harder difficulty, and after that spend time trying to beat all the challenge, and you can even unlock all of the classic games Contra games! That's a lot of playing time for just a game, so this is a game that i'm forced to recommend to everybody.

Elite Beat Agents

A music game that can keep you playing for a good while. Try not to break the screen with your stylus, please.

"You need to do X before you can comment X"

A huge photo of a parrot. Enjoy.

Hello guys, i wanted to talk to you about something completely different of what i usually talk about, and this is an argument that i've been recently hearing and wich makes me totally mad.

The other day i was discussing about musicians with a friend and when we get to a point when it was clear that i won the argument he said to me "Hey, yeah, he may suck but... can you do better?" and it seems to be "clear" among some people that you have to do something before you can comment about it. I hate that. Even to the minimum expression.

I mean, we wouldn't be even discussing this if that was the deal, that argument is just completely retarded and the people just make it seem like it was a freaking fact.

I hope you guys from the world that are reading this entry right now don't ever do or thing something like that, i tell you guys, you should just hate people that make that, get mad, change the things that people tend to believe, please, just don't get stuck in what people think, try to think different from the things that they think because if you don't have yourself you don't have nothing. Please, do it, not for me, but for yourself, don't be just a puppet.

Top 5 Minecraft creations!

Hello guys, i'm going to make another entry, yes, another top 5. I kinda liked the last one, so i'm making this one about minecraft creations. To rank the creations i'm going to base in originality, power, creativity and usefulness! I will only rank creations that have a video in youtube, so don't get mad if your creation doesn't show up here, i want to make the entry more beautiful!

5: Programmable Drum Kit by FVDisco

FVDisco always surpraise us with his creations, i think this guy makes his creations so awesome because he's talented in music, enginering and art, this, though is not one of his best creations, but it still deserves a spot in the fifth place

4: Automatic XP Farm by xisumavoid

If i was just rating the creations by usefulness, this would definitively take the first spot. I know there are out there some XP farms that are much faster than this, but none of them is automatic, this one was an incredible improvement to the XP farms everybody knew.

3: Foosball in Minecraft by sethbling

This one amazed me for the simple yet functional system sethbling used. Also, he seriously deserves a spot in my rank, he's made many creations like this one, so, don't only watch the video, but also go check out his channel.

2: SUPER Pig powered slot machine by FVDisco

This one, this is the absolute greates creation of FVDisco, and is even addictive to play, no matter if it is in Minecraft, you can keep playing once and another.

1: Mineception by CodeCrafted

We get to the number one, and i assure you, this one definitively deserves it. I don't think i need to explain it too much, because... look for god's sake, is minecraft inside minecraft! You can even place blocks in it and stuff like any other 2D minecraft clone, but this one is inside minecraft.

Well, i don't have any idea of how this guy actually created this, but it is totally awesome, and even the... wiring? looks cool! Please, please, please go check it out right now.

What i'm planning to do here

A picture of a cat. Enjoy.

Okay guys, i started this blogs a few days ago and this is my fourth entry since then, but the last 3 ones were kinda confusing. I mean, the first entry made this blog look like it was all about Minecraft, that i was going to post mods, seeds and other Minecraft stuff, but then i do an entry about... a casio calculator? what the hell?

Well, this blog is about nothing, it's just a general blog about my life, the reasons because i made those entries is just because that's what my life is about, i play minecraft, i use calculators, i play indie games, so it's only logic that if i have to talk about my life this is what i will have to say.

But Minecraft and calculators are not the only thing i'm planning to talk about, i'll talk about maybe other videogames or maybe something completely different like books, cellphones or even just discussing some arguments i had with someone a day, i'm not planning to do any project nor anything like that.

Also, i'm going to try to make entries at least two times a week or more, but i can't say for sure.

Top 5 great indie games!

Hello guys, i wanted to do a top 5 list about this theme, so here it is. Make sure you read the description of every one of them! Some of them are in that exact spot for a reason.

Anyway, more than a top list, here i'm going to show you 5 great games i really like.

5: Minecraft

Okay, okay, don't get mad at me! I now, this is a great popular indie game and probably the best out there and it should be on first place, but we can't let that hide all the good indie games out there, we have to move on and look for some new ones, that's why Minecraft is in fifth place.

And if you don't know Minecraft... are you a caveman? have you been hiding from society for the last two years? Minecraft is a great game that generates a totally random world for you to play with and create really amazing interactions either PvM or PvP and... you should seriously check this game out.

4: One Chance

You have one chance to save the world, or to die happy.

This is seriously a game you should try out (once in your life lol) because it doesn't take too much to play, you can play online in your browser without having to download it, and is free! Check it out right now!

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/555181

If you like it, you can play other games from the same guy in his profile.

3: Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Amnesia is a great first-person survival horror game wich takes you to a seriously scary mansion. There's really nothing much to say about this game, first-person, scary, indie, great game. Go play the demo or buy it.

2: Braid

This game is totally awesome! It has great gameplay, great levels, and the thing that i like the most from this game: Great graphics, not like the ones in 3D games like Crysis, Metro 2033 or the ones from your last generation console, but a great 2D graphics wich give a great feeling of art to your game.

If you're into indie games, this is a game that you should seriously check out, it only costs 10 dollars in desura.

1: Dwarf Fortress

This is seriously one of the best games i've ever played in my life, and is my personal favorite one. So, you're a hardcore gamer, you don't need things like tutorial or manuals of any kind uh? Then play Dwarf Fortres. And die. And then die again. The image pretty much explains the game itself and its great difficulty, if you want to play this game you have to make sure you have enough time to do so, and that you prepare yourself with many tutorials and the DFWiki, because this game is going to beat the shit out of you.

This game is absolutely free, you can download it from here: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ But i recommend you to search for the lazy newb pack if it is the first time you're playing.

Awesome casio calculator tricks!

Hey guys, i just discovered this weird trick that makes your calculator do some matrix-like effect.
If your calculator looks like this:

Then you probably can do it.

So here's the thing:
First, we want to make sure our calculator is on the default state, so we press Shift+Mode, 3, = and then = again.

After that, you press Mode, then the option for "Reg", and then the option for "Inv", you will probably have to press right for the last one.

Then, you press 1 and start tapping "M+", it will say "n=1" and that number will get greater every time you press it, until 40, then you press M+ again, and it should say something like "Data Full" or in some calculators "Math error", you press M+ again and it will give you two options: EditOff or Esc, you choose Esc.

After you've done with that, you press UP and it will say "Freq40=1", with that you start pressing 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0 repetitively until it's full, it MUST finish with 3, if it doesn't you typed something wrong and you should start all over again. With all those 3s and 0s you press = and it will give you the message "Data Full", so we press = again, and then 0, and then 1. Now, you will get an error, it can be Syntax, Math or Stack. If you get Math Error then you can be sure it will work, the other ones works sometimes anyway.

Press Left, and now, if you get back to the 3s and 0s, you can't do this trick, but if instead you get a lot of weird symbols, get to the next step.

Press Shift+Del and start pressing Left until you find the 3s and 0s and place the cursor EXACTLY to the right of the last 3, then start pressing Del and it will start to clear the 3s and 0s until your cursor gets to the left of a "P" symbol. Then press Shift+Del again and Delete 5 symbols.

Move the cursor until the end of "P"s (or P.Cs in some cases). Complete the sequence* by filling in "P.P.P.P" or "P.C.P.C" until the cursor jumps slightly to the right.


(*If the sequence is 'P.P.P.Pmpmpmpmp' or some other crap like 'P.P.P.Pkmpmpkmp', make it to be 'P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P...' instead of 'P.P.P.PP.P.P.P'. It must be one P, one dot, one P, one dot. Same goes for the 'P.C.P.C' sequence.)

You can get Ps by pressing Shift+X and Cs by pressing Shift+Divide. Dots are the decimal under the button 2.


Once you're done, move the cursor all the way to the left and press Shift+Delete+8. And that's all, enjoy your Martrix effect.

Two great survival island seeds!

Try to survive in this two awesome Minecraft island seeds!

This one is the easier one, since it has two trees, some sugar canes and some diamond not too deep.

167466437

This one is more difficult than the last one, since it only has 1 tree, and it doesn't have as much materials.
 Remember to switch Generate Structures to off or there won't be any tree.

A tip: There won't be any sheeps in these maps, so you will have to make wool out of string.
