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!

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. 

 

Minecraft: Favorite Let’s Play

There are many Let’s Plays out there for Minecraft, and it would probably be impossible to put together a full list.  I have compiled some of the more known (to me) Let’s Plays and assembled them.  Please vote and leave a comment if your favorite isn’t on the list and I’ll add it.

Who's your Favorite Minecraft Let's Play?
