Generating lots of crazy terrain will use up tons of RAM, and if you don't have enough it will cause lag. Same reason Amplified mode requires a good computer.

Dude, quit worrying about your height. You're only 13, at average height for your age, and you're still going to grow for the next couple of years. You will be fine, promise.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm 15, male, and only 5'2". It hasn't really affected me at all.

I live in Illinois.

+ We got Chicago.
+ Gay marriage is legal.
- Winters are really, really cold.
- Thunderstorms everywhere.
- Tons of crime in Chicago.
- Some people are total dicks.

Nice cape, but it doesn't go well with my (red) skin. Guess I'll get a new one.

I got tickets in Batch 2. I'm from Chicago.

Well, thank god it's no longer Microsoft exclusive. A Wii U and 3DS version could potentially be next in line, but I doubt it'll happen, with Mojang's attitude towards Nintendo and the Wii U's abysmal sales. Cross-platform play would be nice, too.

I really wish Mojang had organized this better. It was an absolute madhouse, and the vast majority of people had no chance to buy a ticket. I'm extremely lucky that I managed to get any at all, as my Internet connection is really unstable. Next time, they should rent out a bigger convention center, so they could house more people. Or, maybe as compensation Mojang could give one extra code to all people who are going to the con, so they could give it to a friend who wasn't able to.

Keep refreshing. There's still a chance.

If you don't make it, there's always Batch 3. Just to make sure that you don't miss it again that time, I recommend having both the countdown page and EventBrite page opened up in tabs, and once the countdown finishes, spam F5 on the Eventbrite page. That's how I got mine.

That means the tickets are with other customers, that are entering their info but haven't actually purchased the ticket yet. Sometimes a person will cancel an order and the "buy" button will pop up, so just keep F5ing and hope for the best.

"Swag" is just another buzzword for this generation. Swag is a thing you own, if you possess swag then you are "cool".

I honestly don't know how swag became popular, but I don't care and I've never looked into it. I also don't know why some people hate it enormously. It's just a word, it's not like it's gonna kill your family.

I don't have any "swag" because I don't care about having any.

Wait. $150?

Crap, I thought it would be $99. Looks like I might not be going... If I do, then I'll be by myself..

I got a new wireless card and router a few days ago, to concide with my new gaming PC build. It's not the fastest here, but it's still really smokin'.



And this is only when the router is at the other end of the house. It's a huge difference from my previous speeds of ~5Mbps.

Sky isn't that bad of a dude, and I can tolerate him and his videos. But his "army" of 10 year olds screaming "LE BUDDER XDD BAD SQUIDD!" just ruins everything.

I hate the super-smug "smart" people that only use their intelligence to win (and start) arguments and berate other people for their shortcomings. They act like they're part of some uber-cool elite club, and it [SWEAR]es me off to no end.

I also hate people who suddenly erupt in a fit of rage when somebody disagrees with their opinion.

I ALSO hate the kids who seek attention because they're a kid and they do non-kid things, e.g. playing old video games, or because they're smarter than other kids their age, which doesn't really help your reputation when you're flaunting your intelligence like some kind of medal. I admit I was like this once.

I could go on. Let's just say I hate lots of people.
