Re: Minecraft
I've been working on something pretty sweet. Through the random level generation, I found a large valley not far off from my spawn. I've been working with that and I've created a giant bowl/fortress. It's pretty awesome because each cliff has a waterfall coming off of it and into a large pond in the middle. When I'm done I'll make a video to show it, and post it here.

Re: Minecraft
I'm back. I haven't read all, but it looks like Minecraft is quite popular here. Haha. I too enjoy it. Can someone summaries what's going on?

Reminds me of my landscaping adventures. Just recently I connected my home to an outpost nearby via my "man cave".Thire wrote:I've been working on something pretty sweet.

Lol, sounds awesome. Post pics you guys, I, and I assume everyone, would be interested in seeing the GT community creations.

I've been thinking about buying a server.

Re: Minecraft
Actually they don't have to be bought. You just need a dedicated PC with a decent amount of ram. You can download the server software at the bottom of the download page here. There are tons of tutorials around for doing it.

Re: Minecraft
Makes sense. It'd be interesting to have a GT server up. Maybe make a few videos of that.
Speaking of videos and shameless advertising, I reorganized my vids in a playlist:

Re: Minecraft
Churning it around still on Linux or windows server and costs... will update once I have all data together. I guess 4 gigs ram on 2 procs would be ok-ish. Would people want modded classic or ?If I set this up I will end up creating a gametoast minecraft site of course hehe

Re: Minecraft
I'd vote classic because I get pissed off when I'm building something and have to stop to deal with hostile mobs. However the hostile mobs do add quite a bit of tension, which is half the appeal for lots of people.

Re: Minecraft
I would do Survival, though probably on Peaceful. Classic IMO is extremely boring.

Re: Minecraft
Survival no doubt. With mobs. It'd just be so much cooler- the aspect of community would be lost in classic/peaceful.

In Peaceful it wouldn't. Of course, in the server I play on, everyone knows each other and everyone is an admin/op.Grev wrote:Survival no doubt. With mobs. It'd just be so much cooler- the aspect of community would be lost in classic/peaceful.

Re: Minecraft
It would be. We'd build stuff, but there would be no thrill in the exploration. Perhaps as a community we could build something, but an aspect of adventure and thrill would be lost. Exploring caves as a group would be a bore. Imagine: you're exploring an enormous cave with some GT bros, and you find diamond. Would it be cooler to:Fluffy_the_ic wrote:In Peaceful it wouldn't.

a) just mine it (hint: mad boring)
b) battle the spawn of the deep to with your friends to reap the rewards of the underground (hint: mad legit)

Re: Minecraft
Well, IMO building is the best part of Minecraft. Online with my friends, nobody every actually searches for materials, we all just use the /give command and just screw around, trying to lure each other into traps, or trying to build the awesomest house, or just travel looking for an awesome place to create a huge explosion to make room to build a massive house under-the-radar, then upon finishing it, creating a stargate to link it to the rest of the world. Cuz our server has Stargates.Grev wrote:It would be. We'd build stuff, but there would be no thrill in the exploration.

Re: Minecraft
I used to do that with my friends in Classic. We were justice mete-ing builders in the Freebuild.net server. Then my friends and I bought survival, and we forgot all that.Fluffy_the_ic wrote:Well, IMO building is the best part of Minecraft.
