Minecraft: 1.1 Patch made me play this weekend

Minecraft patch 1.1 patch came out on the 12th and it had me playing this weekend.  I backed up and updated my SMP server and got to work.  One of the biggest updates for me was that bows can be enchanted.  This had me fixing my spider spawner trap and getting my levels up so I could enchant some things.  They also fixed the sheep not regrowing wool.  It seems that I now can expand my barn and farmyard to include sheep of every color, so I can repeatedly clip them.  There were quite a few other updates and I will post a few below along with the link to the update notes.

Bows are now enchantable, with four new enchantments specific to bows: Power, Punch, Infinity, and Flame.
Sheep eat Grass (converting it to Dirt) and Tall Grass to regain their Wool.
Sheep only drop 1-3 wool per shearing.
Leaves now have a 1/200 chance of dropping Red Apples.

SWTOR: Leveling with the Girlfriend

My girlfriend and I have just landed on Balmorra and are getting ready to start our quests there.  We group up about 50% of the time, and do separate crafting and story-line quests on our own.  The Marauder and Sorcerer work fairly well together although at times a bit squishy without a tank.  So far there really hasn’t been a battle that we couldn’t handle.  We will probably step into the PVP zones after we are a little more comfortable with our characters.    What class combos are you using with your GF/BF?

Too many games… So little time… What game do I play today?

January 7, 2012 / posted in PC Games / No Comments

I got up from bed a while ago and sat down on the couch with the Laptop.  Stared at the game icons for a bit and couldn’t decide what to choose.  Here is my list of games (currently installed).

Skyrim, SWTOR, Minecraft, Doom 3, Half-Life 2, KOTOR, FEAR, Fallout 3, LOTRO, Conan, Starcraft 2, NWN 2 and HOMM3.

What shall I pick?

When I take a break from other games there is always Minecraft

When I’m done swinging my lightsaber in SWTOR or firing my bow in Skyrim, I always come back to Minecraft for some relax and building.  For me personally there just isn’t a game that is comparable in this aspect.  I just grab my pick and away I go.

SWTOR: Wishlist of things that should be there

January 6, 2012 / posted in The Old Republic / No Comments

I have been having a great time with this game.  I am a casual MMO gamer and now have 2 characters, Level 17 Sith Sorcerer and Level 14 Mercenary.  However, there are some enhancements that would make the game a better experience for me.  Here is a short list:

Galactic Trade Network:  No minimum Buy Price
Galactic Trade Network:  No Search by Drag and Drop Item
When Full Health do not consume medpack
Dispatch Shuttle will not take me to my ship

Please let me know which items you think should be there now.

I have been running through the land with this dark elf character named Soth and I have been very pleased with his sneaking and archery skills.  What race and skillset do you favor in Skyrim?

Everytime I want to play on my server I get the error.  I follow Notch on twitter and he talks about working on new games and such but…..  Will this get fixed soon?

Does your Girlfriend Play SWTOR?

Well I have talked my girlfriend into playing SWTOR.  She has played WOW and plays Minecraft currently, but this will be a change.  I think she will like the game.  Who out there has a girlfriend that plays, and how do they like it?

Skyrim … Final Thoughts of a Bandit

December 28, 2011 / posted in Skyrim / No Comments

 

 It was hard getting up today. I hope more fools will be coming up the trail soon.  I need to pry the purses from those dead fingers so I can afford more wine.  My head still throbs from the wine last night.  Did I just hear something?  Now the throbbing is a splitting pain… why is my vision going black….

I happened to run into this fellow in Skyrim a few nights back, and he didn’t see it coming.  I am very much enjoying this game.  The graphics are pleasing and the gameplay is great.  Archery may be a little over powered at my level but it’s still fun.  Not too many bugs to speak of.  What are your impressions of Skyrim?
