A sharp sphere.

Uh, that would be a fragment.

Subaca (I don't post much here, so I don't know what you'll find)

Subaca is pronounced like "Chewbacca," but with an S at the beginning instead of Ch. It's actually Ukrainian for "dog."

What the hell is all this mapmaking crap?

I'm Polish, so I really like Borscht. My grandmother makes the best.

On the contrary, MY grandmother holds the ability to make the best borscht around

According to the wiki, there's already beetroot soup. That's very similar.

That's like calling French fries "fried potatoes": It's just a name taken literally from the ingredients. I'd be happy with a simple name change from "beetroot soup" to "borscht."

I saw on Minecraft Wiki that beets may be added to the PC version of Minecraft (I think they're already in Pocket Edition). If this is true, I think that Minecraft should have some delicious borscht http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht to eat! If you look over that Wikipedia page, you'll see that borscht is a soup made primarily of beets. My family is part Ukrainian, so borscht is a food that we enjoy rather often. We usually add smetana (sour cream), which can easily be implemented in Minecraft through milk buckets, and potatoes, which are already in the game. I think it would be awesome if we could use beets, potatoes, sour cream, and maybe even some other ingredients to make hearty bowls of borscht in Minecraft. It would heal many hunger points and have high saturation (just like real life), but on the downside it would require many ingredients to make. What do you think about this idea?

Since I started this post, I have been using level 4 mipmapping. I like it because my resource pack makes leaves look . . . jagged? . . . from a distance and mipmapping smooths it out. I see no difference between anisotropic filtering off and the highest setting. If anything, having it on cancels out the effect of mipmapping.

I hate it when they post a video with a title like "Minecraft 1.7.2 Minecart Glitch!!!," and the video is literally 25 minutes of them talking random bullsh*t, then 5 seconds where the title of the video occurs, then another 10 minutes of more bullsh*t.

On second thought, I've never seen a strictly-Minecraft YouTuber whom I actually like. Death to them all!

Yes, you can, but over time it will significantly slow down your main drive, which you do not want. I personally did this for a year in my laptop (which, granted, had terrible build quality), and the drive slowed down so much that I could no longer record to it because it couldn't write the file fast enough for it to be above 20 fps (which is bad). If it's in your budget, I recommend getting this: http://www.amazon.co...0?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's a very fast, affordable, and compact USB3 drive that can hold more than enough footage at one time. Using this will assure you do not damage the performance of your internal drive, which will make your computer last a lot longer between OS reinstalls.

This is EXACTLY what I wanted to know. Thanks! But by the way, what are these OS reinstalls you speak of?

This only works if he has a USB3 port. If he does not, the speed of USB2.0 won't be enough.

Yes, I have USB3's.

Those wd external drives are just scorpio blue drives with a sata to usb converter. I found this out when my wd passport broke and i took it apart. Inside was the converter dongle and the hdd. hdd worked fine still but the converter was broken. I threw it in my main rig and found out it was fat32. so i had to re format it in ntfs.

Well, is that good or bad for the product he recommended?

I have this hard drive for general storage and a separate SSD for my OS and various programs. My question is whether I can play the games stored on my hard drive while recording to the same drive without causing issues. I've never really recorded before, and I want to test Nvidia ShadowPlay, which I heard is amazing and only requires 15 megabits per second of write speed. So, what are the effects of simultaneously recording and playing off one hard drive?

I buy physical disks for just about everything. I just upgraded my crappy DVD drive to Blu-Ray, too. However, you should be careful when shopping, as I was told that my drive had playback software when it did not. I was forced to "obtain" the necessary software.

What do these settings do? Also, what effect do the different levels of each setting have? Please don't give me a definition; I need to know what they do in Minecraft 1.7.2. Thanks.

Much appreciated!

well, for 1, if you plan to watch blue-ray movies, youll need a blue-ray codec for windows 8, or a blue-ray movie player software (will have a built-in codec, but will only work in that software)

Yes, I will make sure any drive I might buy has software included. I'm referring to installation only.
