I’m waiting for Planetside 2. What game are you waiting for?

If I had to pick one it would probably be Planetside 2.  Diablo 3 would probably be next on my list.  Money matters.  What game are you waiting for?

Minecraft Farming Structures

I have been working on setting up quite a few farming structures in Minecraft lately.  I have followed some tutorials courtesy of DocM77 and have set up a Golem and Ender farm.  I have posted some pictures of the farms below and have included a link to Doc’s Enderfarm Tutorial.  Both farms are working great.

This is the main hub of the Golem farm.

Golems are produced here and pushed through a tube into my castle.

 

 

 

 

 

The tube flows above my tree farm and drops them in a container for harvesting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the Enderfarm I created with the help of my girlfriend. It has both kill mode and XP mode. Very fast leveling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again Doc for your tutorials!

Poor Lydia.  Always tries to do her job but doesn’t always make the right decisions.  Guess its time to reload.  Is this when you reload the game?

Skyrim: Creation Kit and Hi-Res Texture Pack now Available for Download

Bethesda has released its Creation Kit and Hi-Res Texture pack for Skyrim!  They are available through the steam client.   There will be a rating system as well for everyone to download and rate mods!  I personally applaud Bethesda for releasing this kit.  It will allow easier access for modders and the end users alike to enjoy newly created content.

Minecraft: Had to start building a new Castle this weekend

I decided to start building a larger structure in the mountainous regions away from our SMP town.  This is what started to take shape.

I’m definitely more of a builder of utility than outside appearance. 

The large room on the lower left will be a large farm which will have trees, melons, pumpkins and reeds.  I will probably create another room that does cactus by itself though as I can funnel the drops into the big room.  If there is room I may also try to get wheat in there as well.  I will use pistons to harvest the reeds, melons and pumpkins as it can be done fairly easily.  I have yet to figure out a way to collect the items after auto-harvesting (without re-planting).  Stay tuned for updates to this minecraft construction.  Please let me know if you have figured out a way to collect the harvested items with reasonable efficiency.
