I decided to build my own computer, aimed towards Gaming (Minecraft and WoW) and Graphic Design. Now, I have very little knowledge about building computers, technical softwares, ect. Hope you guys can lay a hand on suggesting parts I would buy for my Ultimate PC here. I been to newegg, watched a informational video on build computers, and browsed abit. Here what i have so far that I like. Feel free to critizied and suggest parts for my benefits. Oh and parts that are reasonable prices below $150 please. Thank you for your time.
I think the 2012 idea is cool, but the whole awards and info on it is not so cool. We all know it wont happen, so there is no point in following some stupid rumor that everyone believes (why?! the world was supposed to end so much times...)
Maybe if it was a map on 2012 and you would have to get all these types of puzzles and find clues around the map to figure out how to stop the end of the world?
Let me explain further:
What if there was this huge, and I mean huge, chamber full of tnt, and all of this was a time bomb that was linked with redstone. It would have a time displaying clock that would count down like normal time. The player would have to find clues around the map that would soon all fit in to one major puzzle or riddle. All of these clues would be put together to learn how to disarm or pause the huge tt bomb that was meant to blow up the world.
You should make a frog that is two times the spiders size ( do you mind having a mod with limitless sky? :biggrin.gif:) and have the frog having its tongue curled around one of it's legs looking as if it was about to swallow up the spider. Now that would be boss.
I will not be posting the adventure tonight as a symbol against SOPA and PIPA. My blog will be officially blacked out until 8pm tonight. Down with SOPA.
This blackout will also give me the time to work on the the next adventure entry and have the one after that ready as well. Expect a good one tomorrow! I hope you all enjoy.
The blackout on the blog is over, so feel free to check on it. Working on writing the next two pieces, have all the pictures already. Studying for midterms while doing this is not such a good idea but I love you guys :biggrin.gif:
You assume that we cannot do both. Almost every person on here who has admitted to cracking has followed it with an addendum along the lines of "I eventually bought it".
In order to steal something, it has to be something capable of being 'taken'. While you can take a candy bar, and you can even take virginity, you CANNOT take data. You copy it.
Why dont YOU look at it from the companies position? many MANY artists have found a way to profit by using the internet, and just because some market influences are still stuck in their luddite ways, it doesn't mean we should give any credence to their complaints. The boys behind self helpless as well as Louie CK have all explored digital distribution and actually *GASP* turned a profit. Saying you are looking out for notch is a really shortsighted thing to say when you have no idea how he feels. Maybe if you read that link up there, you might see things from his perspective.
Oh and one more thing... just because Notch said that it is not theft, that does not change my perspective on things. I respect him and always will, but he is not some idol that I have to agree with on whatever he says. I sir, have my own opinion and I stand by it, no matter what others believe.

I hope you realize that companies that makes games lose millions of dollars in profit when their games are pirated. And I don't care what type of form of taking it it, taking chocolate, a girls virginity, or something online, if it has copyright it cannot be taken. Notch may allow it but don't try to convince me that many others do too. Each game pirated is money lost that should have went to were it was supposed to. You said you cannot take data, instead you can only copy it. Now explain to me the difference... You "copy" someone's work is the same thing as stealing. That is why you are not allowed to "copy" on tests, essays, SAT's etc. http://www.insidegamingdaily.com/2011/12/31/top-pirated-games-of-2011/
"Top PC Game Downloads on BitTorrent in 2011
Crysis 2 (3,920,000)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (3,650,000)
Battlefield 3 (3,510,000)
FIFA 12 (3,390,000)
Portal 2 (3,240,000)"
For example, Modern Warfare 3 had around 3.6 million pirated versions. If each copy sells for around $60, the total income that the game producers lost due to pirated games was $216,000,000. If you think $216,000,000 is nothing to worry about, you are obviously insane...
So your telling me people "copied" $216,000,000 worth of data.. When I look at it in your perspective it does not make me feel guilty at all. Thanks!... :dry.gif:
I am starting a new minecraft survival series, where I will write posts similar to journal entries on my everything about Minecraft blog and in those entries I will also be adding pictures.
I have decided that I will also share parts of them here, but I will not have everything here because it takes a while to post all the pictures on the forums and getting everything reorganized. Basically, once I get further in the series, I will not be posting the entire entries here but I will obviously be housing them at my blog.
This first entry is almost complete like the one on the blog, but it is missing some things that may or may not be important.
Here it is:
Where am I?
I have just woken up from a comfortable long sleep, but to my utter surprise I have no idea where I am. I am trying my best to recollect my thoughts and memories, but the fear in my heart is not allowing me to think clear. I am in a really bad situation, and worst of all I can’t think straight.
I know that if I want to survive, I will have to gather resources. I don’t have any tools so it looks as if I will have to do this the hard way… with my fists.
I have to get a good look around my surroundings. I just got on top of the tallest tree in my area, and took a good look around. At least I am starting to know the environment.
The sun is coming down fast, without any real shelter I have no other choice than to survive the night in the tree. Hopefully there are no predators around here that come out at night, because that would cause even more problems. Thankfully, I have only seen chickens and cows which will provide me with a steady source of food.
What I have feared most has come true. Not only do predators come out at night, I have no idea what they are. They seem intelligent and some have their own weapons. Using dirt that I have collected during the day, I made a small shelter right in the tree to protect me from whatever those… those things are. I hope they are not aggressive, but I am expecting the worse.
Worse possible scenario: I am basically trapped in my own small temporary shelter and this black figure is staring me down. The fear is overwhelming, I feel like giving up. It is trying to get at me, and I am terrified. It can’t get inside my shelter so I will try to get some sleep and recollect my thoughts. Where the hell am I, and what have I gotten myself into?
If you enjoyed this and would like to see more, or if you just love Minecraft, please do me a favor and check out my blog and tell me what you think. Its just one click away! :smile.gif:
I think it is completely unfair to crack the game especially because people actually put a long time into make this happen and you should show some respect by buying it. I am surprised that they sell the game for such a low cost given that it is such a success. If 4+ million were able to buy the game then others should be able to as well. If you can't afford the game, what gives you the right to steal it? That is not moral and unethical. I understand that we do not wear clothes made of gold, and I am just a teenager, but I save money to get what I want. I don't try and find the easy way out of things. If I have to buy it, then I have to buy it, not buts. It is the same as going to a store, and taking something and telling the workers that you have the right to take it free of charge because you can't afford it.
Go into Mojang's or any other game company's position. They take so much time to get things right for us to enjoy and we just steal their work from them? For example, Skyrim took years to make and has a really high pirate rate for PC. That is the reason why not many games are made and ported well for the PC, because since we have the ability to get something for free, many people take advantage of it...
If someone was to go to my blog and copy and paste my posts and post them to their website I would flip out. All my hard work would just be taken from me without any reward.
To do a complete re-install just completely uninstall minecraft from your computer, and then install it again like you normally would. Hopefully you have not put to much work into the worlds.
I think I know what happened. If you installed a texture pack or a mod, you may have accidently left minecraft running while installing the mod or texture pack. This results in constant crashes etc.

Tell me your budget and I can make you a system that will last for a while.
