I've known about Minecraft for so long and it's been so ubiquitious around the places I haunt on the internet, I honestly couldn't answer the question.
You know, although it's purely speculative some people
Meaning who? You?
have wondered if she had a hand in starting the Yogscast **** talk. Looking at this girl's LP videos she has to have her face on screen at all times. It's not even like she's hosting a clip show or doing a review, and even when people do that they leave their faces off the game footage. It's like she thinks people want to watch her giggle and mug for the camera. It's a sure sign of someone who is really, really full of themself.
Although it's not as popular with the gaming community, that's a prominent and completely legitimate style of vlogging. People do this all over Youtube, and in fact most non-gaming vloggers that I've encountered do this: The vlogger looking at the camera and addressing their audience directly, with perhaps some images or video spliced in for illustration. Although I wouldn't say she pulls it off very well, it's extremely rude and thoughtless to accuse someone of being conceited for using a different style of vlogging. There's nothing inherently conceited with wanting to connect with your audience in a more personal manner rather than droning on into your headset while you punch down trees.
I could easily see a girl like this while under immense stress feeling like she's been overlooked for her hard work on Minecon and becoming upset no one knows who she is while there were other more well-known Youtube Minecraft LPers around.
You're making wild assumptions about someone you don't actually know and using those assumptions to try to start an ill-founded conspiracy theory. :/
Most sites I want to buy from accept them, other than minecraft.net. Also it was a birthday present. And to be honest, I don't want a credit card. I can't afford to pay the thing back if I had one, so I find it easier to just get prepaid cards. They're actually not bad if you can find a site that accepts them. You just have to buy it, activate it on the gift card website, then use it like a normal card.
Fair enough. I guess the appeal is as a gift card that works anywhere, including online, correct?
I had a prepaid visa gift card that wouldn't work. I assume due to the currency?(It was in USD.. and I assume a gift card doesn't convert over). I also couldn't figure out how to get the money from it on to paypal itself, so I asked someone I trusted enough to buy it for me. I sent them the money from the card, to their paypal account, and they got me a code for minecraft.
I had to have a paypal account. Set the card up on paypal. Then send the money to someone via paypal. They got the money on their paypal. Bought the code on minecraft.net. And sent me the code. I don't suggest doing this unless you have someone you can trust enough to do it with.
I'm kind of curious why people use those things anyway, they just sound overly complicated, a lot of places either don't accept them or have problems ringing them in, and they're not very popular. A Visa that's not actually a credit card because it's prepaid, except it's also a gift card. Wut?
The next version is not 1.9. The 1.9.x numbering system was used to number the pre-releases for the full game release. The full game release is numbered 1.0.0. New updates past the full release appear to be labelled even more strangely...
Nope. The onus to make mods (which have nothing to do with Notch's vision of the game or the product he wants to put out) compatible with the game is not on Notch. That's the modder's job.
I've heard talk of ways for Mojang to offer Minecraft mod support and make the modding community's endeavours a little easier. I'm not a programmer so I have no clue how they'd do that, but it would be nice of them.
I'd heard about Minecraft around the 'net, occasionally saw screenshots while browsing sites like 4chan and reddit. Although the concept was interesting because I'm a huge lover of sandbox games, I initially wasn't interested in it because of the unattractiveness of the game's graphics.
I ended up playing Terraria with my boyfriend for a few weeks on the recommendation of one of our close friends, and heard a lot of people mentioning that Terraria is basically Minecraft with 2D graphics. I was okay with Terraria's graphics because they're cute and stylized, however Terraria eventually got boring.
Finally, I stumbled across Ben Yahtzee Croshaw's review of the game and got a much better idea of what Minecraft actually was. I was significantly intrigued but still not enough to get over the unattractiveness of the graphics, and Minecraft got pushed to the back of my mind for a little bit longer.
Finally, a couple of friends ganged up on me and convinced me to buy it. We play together on a private multiplayer server and enjoy talking about the game together and showing off our creations. Now I use custom texturepacks and I'm not really bothered by the graphics at all. :tongue.gif:
I fully agree, what i don't see is how people can claim that Yogscast must have handeled Minecon perfectly without doing anything wrong at any point whatsoever. Even when they did apologize for dropping f-bombs on the show.
Everyone makes mistakes, mojang sure made many related to minecon, the minecon organizers seems to have done their fair share too. So why can't people admit that also the Yogscast can make mistakes? Honestly i couldn't care less if the yogscast did swear in front of a kid or not as they defenetly wouldn't do it on purpose. But swearing is natural to them (after all they ARE British :tongue.gif: ) so why are people so determined on that they can't possibly have accidentaly sweared in front of a kid while signing something. It's not like it suddenly make them bad people or anything, it just makes them human...
THANK YOU.
The issue isn't black and white. It sounds like a big mess across the board to me...
