Morning Discussion
If you like the idea of the agricultural life but find Farming Simulator 2011 a touch too hardcore for your tastes, I can highly recommend Red Dead Redemption. It's the most fun I've had herding cattle since... a game I can't quite recall. You know the one. The mainstream game which had a cattle herding mission for no real reason. Please, tell me what it is because I'm doing my nut in trying to remember.

Have you played Demon's Souls, Hemtroll? It's very good!
The 1-3 boss was defeated on this day, felled like an old tree by the capable hands of my character Bior, an NPC who has demonstrated his ability to totally outclass my shit heap weakling of a hero. I hid in a corner while he lopped massive sections off the boss' health bar.

We had it and it sucked: the ngage.
Hopefully someone like Sony can step up to the plate and deliver something. The reason I say Sony: nintendo probably won't make a phone and Microsoft can't seem to help themselves from screwing up mobile devices. Maybe winmo7 is step in the right direction, but I won't hold my breath.

Wait for this whole latency thing to be fixed by Notch first before worrying about changing your plans =)
On another note, could one of our lovely admins spawn me a load of RAW lava (ie without the buckets)? Thanks to the 'bucket fix' Notch put in, I find myself unable to finish my current project now that lava is finite... and no, im not about to go off and find 200+ worth of lava source tiles in the world and transport each one to my project. -

He probably tested jumping in a minecart and riding it around a little. Chunks not loading is one of a hundred possible things that could break. He's not going to test it all by himself when he has a perfectly good alpha test - if the players will put up with stuff like this, his time is much more efficiently spent this way.

Angry jealous admin gets too serious about his minecraft server not getting the attention it deserves compared to MercFox's, erupts in rage in a chat thread spewing personal insults at the other server admins, is not heard from for a long time, then returns to downplay the importance of his previous obsession.

Zelda LttP Update!
Well I wasn't going to release updates but someone did like seeing comparisons so... why not!
Here we have the Eastern Palace!
http://imgur.com/Pcy2W.jpg
Sides are not done, haven't felt like laying them out just yet. Mountains are so time consuming and boring. I changed measurements on statues to 4x5 from 4x4. This allowed for a better statue design, and really didn't get in the way of the landscape at all.
Thanks to all you guys helping out with flattening and covering the lake, you guys are awesome. I logged on yesterday, saw someone fixed the grass that hopd onto EP. Then I saw the stone border someone put up. Fucking awesome! Best group that's helped me with a project :). I know laying dirt and flattening mountains can get boring so I don't mind if you guys vanish and work on other stuff for a few days to take a break.
Also, there is now a railway from Maddogs giant M to my place. He said you guys thought about putting it in links how so I think the next step in the project will be expanding south. I don't think it will cause too many problems if you come up from between lake hyrule and desert palace. There is no dungeon there in light world, I'll just double check for any secret holes, pretty sure there is none tho.-

ah forgot about gravel, might use that. I been trying to avoid using sand because of the desert... and... well... must be just me but I don't want to use sand because of that for other reasons as well. However, gravel is open and hasn't been used yet, hmmmm.
There's a few things I could try... I'll gather the gang when I deal with it, see which way they like best.

Yeah you can spend a good while on Merc1 just wandering around looking at cool shit. The other reason I warned you off MP temporarily is that this week's patch introduced a number of pain-in-the-ass bugs (blocks reappearing, crashes if you right-click with no block in your hand). Hopefully these will be fixed soon.

For exploring purposes: http://216.139.192.52/~djr/mc/gmap/ <--- N is to the top-right
When in-game, clouds move S-->N, sun and moon rise in the east. You can also use /compass and /getpos to figure out where you are on Merc1 due to a mod we have on there. -
