Morning Discussion
A collection of Czech and Polish posters for Godzilla and other Japanese monster movies. They're very stylish and cool, though 'Son of Godzilla' is curiously unsettling.
Branding blog Brand New takes a look at THQ's new logo and concludes that while there are a few problems, "it is a bold improvement over the previous one."
A video trip down the London sewers, complete with gawping at fatbergs and sniffing out how posh an area is. Pleasant lunchtime viewing.
Telephones ruin society, Wondermark discovered. Not your 'iPouch' or whatever it is you crazy kids gush over, but those old wired telephones (you don't believe me but these genuinely did exist). Back in 1889. It's been downhill since then, we can all agree.

Wooot! I will come back soon. I've been taking a break to catchup on a backlog of games. I've managed to get through quite a lot too: Halo Reach (solo legendary, yeah baby!), COD4: MW, Mirrors Edge, Crysis, GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony and finally playing through Stalker: Call of Pripyat right now.

Shadowdane's Server -- Reset Tonight
Alright with the BiomeTerrainMod becoming dead and no longer working with Beta, I've decided to go back to Vanilla and reset the server. I know a few of you have some large projects on the server, I'm going to put a .zip online so people can download it if they want. Half the fun with the Biome mod was exploring and that is basically gone, with the mod being discontinued.
I'll make a post in ER tonight when I have the server online with the new world..-

He beauty about Borderlands is the zone structure that works, IMO, better than Towny. Your don't have all the fluff like Towny, but the zones you can set up and add rules gives you some really nice flexibility. You also get popup warnings when people move in and out of zones. I really like this plugin. It's what I want to use to protect the Maze.

lol just as I speak... someone updates it --- http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=136843
Hmm now to decide if I want to continue using this -

Getting a new computer soon and after asking round on here was told my graphics card options were shitty for gaming (not to worry, PC gaming was never a primary or secondary use for this computer) but MineCraft has been intriguing me for a while and i assume (from its looks) that it doesnt have very high system requirements so maybe this is a game i can try out :D

i wanna play it, ive been readin shit about it and reading you guys talk about it and it looks and sounds like a lot of fun!
does it need a reasonable (if any) graphics card?
i imagine my processor and ram will be more than enough. im considering leaving the 2 GC options and getting one later on.
the mobo has Integrated ATI Radeonâ„¢ HD 4250 GPU. if that is enough i will leave any reasonable graphics card for now (its a mini PC so limited options) but the best option they give is a1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GT430 (which i was tld sucks and should get a different one, which i probably will in a couple of months)
But i wanna play minecraft, dammit!! -

mroizo, did you ever fix caves rendering through snow? You can see it on my Textured Render in the snow section to the south.

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Coal_(Item)#Charcoal
Charcoal was an addition to Minecraft in version Beta 1.2. Using Wood in a furnace creates Charcoal, which has the same uses as Coal, including making torches, and smelting objects. This will undoubtedly make it easier to survive your first night as you only need two wood to make charcoal (one for fuel and one for the actual smelting). Charcoal does not stack with Coal.

"Six pieces of Charcoal can be obtained from seven wood blocks by breaking one of them up into planks. Each plank smelts 1.5 items, four planks smelts 6. Seven wooden blocks would smelt 10.5 items normally, or 42 items if broken into planks, but the six charcoal you can produce will smelt 48. This is a six block increase from seven wood blocks, although it requires waiting for the six logs to become charcoal. "

This partially corrects the issue that previously that one log gave you as many smelts as one plank, where as breaking a plank into sticks gave you less smelts that the planks. Now, if you turn the log in charcoal you get more smelts from the log than if you turn it into planks.
So previously, breaking a log to planks gave you higher smelting efficiency, but breaking the planks to sticks lowered the efficiency (but is still better than the original log).
Now Logs turned into charcoal is the most efficient, and each stage of breaking down the log loses efficiency.
