MineTV Debuts Tomorrow, with special guest: Marc Watson!

Everyone loves a good mod spotlight, texture pack review, or awesome video - what could possibly be better? How about all 3 at once, and more, LIVE? If the idea of high-profile guests, the latest in Minecraft entertainment, community interviews and features interests you, read on.

MineTV - a new livestream show - will be shown every Wednesday at 9:00pm EST (GMT -5), starting this Wednesday, July 25th! This isn't any ordinary livestream, however; We have hand-built a TV studio, complete with stage, working green-screen, and stands for audience members. Users will not only be able to watch the interviews, reviews and more on the stream itself, but limited numbers of people will be a part of the live studio audience as well!

We mentioned guests on the show, but what kind of guests? Anyone the community has an interest in, of course! High profile video makers, modders, texture pack makers, and more - this week's special guest is none other than Mojang's Marc Watson!

Want to be a part of the live studio audience for the first episode, and get your name forever written in the annals of livestream history? Shoot us an email at [email protected], with the following information filled out:

In-game name
One question you would ask Marc Watson of Mojang, if you could

Optional Info:

Age
Country of origin

That's all you need to do! If you are accepted, you will receive an email with all the info you need to connect to the studio server.

Want to take a tour of the studio before the show? You can visit us on the studio test server all day today! Details are below - we look forward to seeing everyone, and thanks for supporting MineTV!

Well, guess everyone needs to clamp buttcheeks together for 1.3

Anyways, not hating on WoW, heck I played the game for 5 1/2 years, but seeing how WoW has kind of spiraled downwards since the end of WoTLK and Cata, I don't really care for the new expansion.

I wish they would fix the bug with half-slabs. I like building with stone slabs, and it's not working any more at all.

And the bug report thread says they don't want to hear about it.

mmmmm wtb creative blocks available in vanilla :/

As for the Poll:
The latest WOW expansion put the final nail in the coffin, as far as I'm concerned. I canceled all 6 of my WOW accounts, and the rest of my gaming group did too (A total of 38 fully paid accounts cancelled) We now spend our time between Minecraft and Old-fashioned 2nd Edition D&D.

WOW began to lose me when they introduced Cataclysm. Constant nerfing of classes to make everyone "balanced" has taken all the fun out of playing any of the classes.... and a Death knight heal? come on, really?!? It took me a total of 7 hours to take my Paladin from level 80 to 85...

WOW has made a huge blunder with this latest expansion. They need to roll back the whole game to Pre Burning Crusades.... then, maybe then, I might possibly briefly consider giving them my money again. A snowball in hell comes to mind....

Why did you even need 6 accounts in the first place?

I am not upgrading until SPC, OptiFine, TMI, and Millénaire are updated for 1.3. I can do without the other mods. You're probably wondering "Why SPC?" To whom I say:
1.) SPC likely has more commands then what it's allowing.
2.) So I can use the commands on already-created worlds.

Ok. Cool.

My FPS is generally fine but every minute or so, I get a mini-lag spike, and then whatever button i was pressing at that time becomes permanently pressed down (virtually) and stays like that until I either press it again or go in and out of my inventory. It's quite annoying, and I've fallen off cliffs several times because of this annoying bug. It better not make it into 1.3.

There needs to be some EXTREME performance improvements. I haven't had my FPS this low since Beta... on all lowest settings except for render distance so I can actually see. I hope Optifine updates soon. That has literally been my only hope for playing Minecraft.
