I just recently started a brand new survival world, and I spawned in a taiga biome. I got the basic tools and such, and I went into a surface cave right next to spawn. I spent a total of 2 hours in this cave and got about 6 stacks of iron, 10 diamonds, and various other resources. I also found a skeleton dungeon.
For some reason, I always get this glitch where the item in hand goes black when I look relatively down.
I came out of the cave, and set on a journey to find a cool place for a base. I wandered about 500 blocks and found a small ocean (I'm calling it a lake) I has a forest biome and mountain biome bordering it. I found an area that interested me, and I began terraforming. I soon built a nether portal and various other utilities.
The small island that has a bridge leading to it is where I plan to build my house. I also want to build a mob farm soon and maybe a larger base. Also, I want to make a 4-way minecart intersection at the coordinates 0, 0. One goal I have is to link all the biomes with minecart tracks in the overworld. Those are currently a few of my many goals for this world.

Looking good so far. Keep on updating this, I like seeing other people's progression and building styles.
Ever since 1.9 came out I started a survival world and got all diamond in a matter of three days... Then a couple of hours ago I was ambushed by mobs and lost it all. That's what my day has been. I immediately deleted the world afterward.

I am a unicorn barfing a rainbow. Your argument is invalid.
Also, since I found him I've traded around 90 diamond pickaxes, representing 270 diamonds out of about 2,000 mined since then (this sounds like a lot but I've spent nearly 21 IRL days of playtime since then, averaging 4 diamonds per hour and 13.6 per session; these are all based on stats from a couple days after I found the village), and a reduction of more than half of the diamonds I've had to use. I normally use about a quarter of the diamonds I mine, which drops to less than 1/8; this is about the same percentage I'd use if I used Fortune instead (although Fortune would more than double the number of surplus diamonds, from around 1,500 to 3,900). Both combined would result in only about 5% of diamonds being used, less if diamonds from mineshafts are included (not sure exactly how many I get from them but it is relatively low). In any case there is little use to having more diamonds than you can use; this was one reason why I added a much rarer ore and related gear in TMCW.
I'm curious. What kind of a storage system do you have? It must be pretty good considering how much you mine.

It actually isn't that complex; it is a set of corridors underground, with each one containing 16 double chests, which are able to store 497,664 resources as blocks, or 55,296 of other items in stacks of 64:
I've got separate corridors for coal (2), iron, redstone, lapis, mossy cobblestone, and rails (I recently extended this to 32 chests, it is separate from the others), plus a combined corridor for gold/diamond/emerald/wool/other, and another for things like horse armor, music discs, and other miscellaneous stuff. The main area, with 112 double chests, measures 20x34 blocks, so it isn't that large either (my entire base, as measured by the wall around it, measures 104x82 blocks, my actual "living area" is an irregular 27x18 blocks and a naturally generated NPC village occupies most of the space; you can find screenshots of it here (World1)).
Also, I've filled up 68 double chests so far (I put up signs saying "Full" above filled chests), including 39 with resource blocks (1,213,056 resources), 2 with wool (27,648 string crafted into wool), and 26 with rails and mossy cobblestone (89,856). There are 332 chests in my entire base, including 312 in the underground storage area (if this doesn't cause lag for me then it is even odder that 1.8+ causes so much lag in a new world, or tile entities like chests and signs (a total of over 400 tile entities including furnaces and a few others) are not so demanding; my base is also entirely within the spawn chunks, including the entity-processing chunks).
This is certainly a lot more compact than what thebugguy has done; if I did this I'd need either a cube 42 blocks on a side with some left over, 18 and a half 16x16x16 cubes, or a 16x16 tower nearly 300 blocks high (above the height limit) to store all the coal that otherwise fits in 22 double chests (a chest can store 1,728 times its volume. The corridors I store them in measure 16x4x3 blocks (6 blocks per chest), which is still a 288-fold reduction in space):
I've recently started a new survival world on my 1.9 server that my friend and I play on. We've done the usual bit for starting (resource gathering, basic materials, etc). Once we got a bit more time into the world, my friend built a house that I think is amazing and I worked on polishing up our mineshaft/strip mine.

Once we got a bit more time into the world, my friend built a house that I think is amazing and I worked on polishing up our mineshaft/strip mine.
Grabbed my donkey and went and dug 18 - 19 stacks of sand so I could continue my new underwater tunnel that will currently be replacing the old one underneath the bridge, expect in a new location. I also updated the giant map at home so it now shows underneath.
That's as far as I got before I gathered the sand.
I am now past the buoy (Red thing in the ocean). In this next bit is under water before I did a lot more of the tunnel last night. You can just see a single dirt block marker on top the temporary dirt tunnel - that where there's still water in the tunnel up to that block. The rest of the tunnel all the way round to the church is dry after the dirt block marker.
I've just taken these pictures to sure you how much I've done after last night and how near the marker I now am!
This temporary dirt ring where the marker was is what I had to at least get up to!
I'm currently back in the home-in-a-mountain, trying to remove the last leg of that water from the tunnel start to about halfway across.

I think this is the 4-5th one I've seen in this world, after about 112,000 mob kills (on average, 1 in 2,333 armored mobs will have diamond armor and at maximum regional difficulty there is a 15% chance of armor, or one in 15,551 mobs. Zombies alone account for at least half of all mobs I kill).

Whoa! I forgot mobs could spawn with diamond armor. A long time ago, I once saw a zombie villager with a diamond helmet and chestplate, but I was in creative and I was experimenting with mob spawners. I thought it was a weird thing that happened with spawners. (I was still kind of a noob then) The spawners were in full daylight and I thought this was like some special zombie god it would spawn with a helmet on in daylight. Lol. I later realized it emerged from a cave nearby.

I just played in servers with other people, made some animations, experimented a little with some commands and played survival with a friend
We already had a saved world, we made a house in a cave, but the next day, I looged in into that world with his account, so all of my data transfered to his account, every single item, so he lost almost all he had(because I had nothing but just trash) We had keepInventory true, some horses, a donkey and a lot of Iron (In HIS inventory, so we lost all of it), then I decided to recover the iron by going into mining frenzy, he destroyed my bed and placed it in my side of the house, so my spawnpoint was deleted(and also HIS spawnpoint, because we shared the data thanks to my little error) so it was late night, I died 5 times and tped to him, he also did the same to me, but one time, both of us died at the same time, we lost everything, or great cave, or house, and most important of all, our donkey
We searched for our house all day, but nothing was found, so I deleted the world(We were playing LAN in my house)

I just found a skeleton in full diamond armor today. It's my first time ever seeing one in any world. To add to that, some of his gear was enchanted. I've killed 24,796 mobs.
EDIT: I have actually killed far less "normal" mobs, because almost 20,000 of my mob kills are from grinding at my endermen farm.

Armored mobs in general are less common since 1.8 due to changes to regional difficulty; on Easy mobs will never spawn with armor, which can happen even on the first day in 1.6-1.7, and 1.5 and earlier always had the maximum chance. Not only that, while 15% is the maximum chance of armor on Normal or Hard in 1.8 it can actually be up to 22.5% on Hard in 1.6-1.7 (the regional difficulty multiplier goes up to 0.5 on Easy, 1 on Normal and 1.5 on Hard; this is multiplied by 15% to get the armor chance). In 1.8+ it scales from minimum to maximum over the range 2-4 (as displayed in the debug screen, which is internally rescaled to 0-1). The chance of each type of armor material is independent of difficulty in all versions.
Also, I did modify the regional difficulty calculation so it starts at 50% and rises to a maximum of 100% in half the time (25 hours, otherwise 50) so as I explore new areas it starts at a reasonable level (unlike 1.8+ regional difficulty is only based on inhabited time and moon phase so will start at 0 in a new chunk; 1.8 added a factor for the total time in a world).

Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
