I like MvM so far. I use pyro mostly, but they are darn near useless - or maybe it's just me - when the tank comes out, and I can't seem to get close enough to the giant demomen to do much damage. I also usually can't get close enough to the sniper bots as pyro to take them out... but that usually is just me.

TBH, I find it a little annoying that you only come on GTM to advertise your server. Just my thoughts, while they're relevant.
(edited out long-winded explanation) Point taken. I'll stay away unless I have something else to say.

Apart from the really old stuff
As if the mob nerfs weren't enough.
It's creative in the sense that there is no destruction--no griefing or PvP, and creepers still explode but don't destroy blocks--but you still have to work to build things. FB (TrixyFrog) and I have been working on that ziggurat for months, since we first joined the server, and it's still not done.
I would call it "friendly survival". Not normal survival, but not creative mode either. I'm happy with it--it's really nice having protection from griefing.
I'd call it cotton wool.
I'd call it social survival. It's as much about the community as it is building and fighting. If you like combat, try the new mob arena or go spelunking, maybe in the nether. If you like hanging out, build a home and get to know everyone. If you like to build, dig a mine to get the materials and build away. I'd have to ask why such a server is considered sad. What do you want? No building at all? PvP only? Perma-death? About the so-called mob nerfs; we prevent creepers from blowing up your stuff, so I guess you like rebuilding time and again? It's not like playing offline where you can almost always control whether creepers blow up on your house. With multiple people on at all hours, someone can accidentally (or intentionally) have a creeper blow up near your stuff and leave you to log in to a hole in your wall. That happened to me a few times before the 'mob nerf.' Creepers can and will still kill you so it's not like the explode in cookies or something. I also have to ask what on Earth 'cotton wool' is supposed to mean in reference to the server. That was completely out of left field.

Fun times: Essemm and zsturgess made a cool video touring the MaMinecraft server. I think they did a great job, personally. My friend Floata and I are also making news broadcasts from the server from our new TV studio. They're kinda crappy atm (partially because I have a speech impediment). I did add a green room to the studio for the  of it. Oh, and you know what's allot of fun? ICBMs in Minecraft.

I used to play with the FOV maxed out, but it gave me a fish-eye view of the world. It either works funny or I don't know the proper FOV for my 16:10 monitor. Probably the latter.

Oh but its so great when you do disguise as somebody, walk right in front of them as they ignore you, then stop and stab them as they walk past.
That'd happen to me. "Oh look, someone else has my name. How funny!" *ded* I can be a little dense sometimes.

Here's one of my favorite dumb videos I've made for Chaos is Gaming's Team Fortress Thursday. It's tongue-in-cheek on purpose. I've done a few and this one in particular was fun to make. It's a Do's and Dont's video, but they're not all realistic.

It started out vanilla, but it's been modded since. Core gameplay is vanilla but the big features allow you to build elevators, there's a casino, a /home command for getting home, a residence claiming feature and a mail/postal system. So most of the mods are peripheral and just extras. They're primarily quality of life mods, to be honest.
Oh, and creepers can't break blocks. That's a popular one. They can still hurt/kill you, but they can't destroy your buildings.

Here's a tour of the MaMinecraft server. Enjoy!

Hey just an FYI: we're opening up MaMinecraft to the public, so stop by and take a look around! Talk to myself (Budaniel in game) Zsturgess or Esssemm about getting promoted and be able to build. Rules are here for your perusal. See you online!!

I don't use single player mods except Optifine, which I load through Magic Launcher. I'm more into Bukkit mods for SMP. I really can't do without Essentials anymore and I enjoy using DeathTPPlus for it's death signs (signs that mark who died where, and how). Features I like from Essentials include: - Creepers can't destroy blocks, but can hurt people. It's so handy it's amazing - it doesn't make creepers trivial things, but they can't ruin your buildings anymore.
- A command for getting home quick, good after a long play session
- A command for getting around to landmarks or mines
- A command for putting yourself out when on fire. I originally had this off but it's saved my server members allot of stress
- A command for warping back to your last location before dying or warping away
There's more, too. I also - obviously - have anti-grief plugins and a permissions plugin. Lastly, I had to install a world size limiter because someone was wandering off to infinity and beyond, more then doubling the server's file size. This is probably my least popular mod but I need it to keep the server within my host's limits.

I - and this is stupid of me to admit but what-freaking-ever - am suckered in by 'cute' voices so I follow certain actresses from show to show. I'll watch dub or sub, depending on the cast. Monica Rial or Cherami Leigh will usually get me to watch a dub, but if Kanae Ito, Aky Toyasaki or Rie Kugimiya (especially Kugimiya) are in it? Sub all the way. For example: I usually like Luci Christian's work but when she dubbed Elsie in The World God Only Knows she had no chance since Kanae Ito nailed that role the first time around.
Right now I'm watching Acchi Kochi (Kaori Fukuhara and Rumi Ookubo are in that one) and Upotte (can't miss an Iori Nomizu performance).

I know this isn't technically music or a video, but I didn't think it belonged in the Computer Hardware section so I'm posting it here. I was epically bored one night so I broke out one of my old character voices from my youth and recorded... well, I would best call it a 'rant.' It's not particularly funny or educational. It's just me ranting about Brontosaurs. Rast'van, the chara I'm (attempting) to inflect is from New Jersey. He was born there and has never crossed the state borders so no one knows where he got his phoney-baloney accent from. It's best described as 10% eastern European, 10% Asian, 30% Midwestern American English and 50% Cookie Monster. Make of that what you will. My voice was hushed a bit since I was trying not to wake the entire house (at 3 in the morning). I think it's dumb but I'm good at dumb things so there ya go. Enjoy (if you can). Anyone got an opinion? Bring it on!  lol

Hey, I've posted and updated the world map for AA Gaming Hub's Minecraft server. You can see it here.

Hey, in case anyone's wondering, AON2 still lives. I'm up to heat 13 now! You can check it out soon at (it's currently uploading - give it about ten minutes). There are only about three more heats before round two!

I saw that the upcoming patch includes 'big biomes,' so I wondered, how big? I made a world with the weekly build and was placed on the corner of a desert. I could see other biomes on two sides of it and quickly found a third. Not seeing the fourth, I opted to fly (in creative mode) to the far end and time my way back. Just getting there told me it was pretty darn big, but timing my way back told me how big. It took me 2 minutes, 46 seconds of creative mode flight time to get back to my starting end. I didn't know what that meant in actual size, and nowhere I found would tell me the creative mode's flight speed. So, I made a test track and timed flying 150 meters (each block being a meter, of course). It took me either 15.1 or 14.9 each time, telling me that it was about 10 meters a second. Putting that to the time I got and that desert was about 1,660 meters long (or over 1.5x the size of a full Xbox Minecraft map). Maybe. My math sucks, so it all might be wrong. In any case, that was definitely a big biome.

For one, it's not an MMO. It's a singleplayer/co-op dungeon crawler from an isometric perspective.

Here's my angle of the same race, slightly different style.

Played Xbox Minecraft round my friend's house yesterday (local multiplayer, three people) and it was surprisingly fun, easy to control, and other than the incredibly small text in the inventory, the size of each screen doesn't hinder much (that I could see). The small text could be due to the size of the screen you were using, coupled with the fact that you were on split screen.
The screen definitely makes a difference. I recommend at least a 30-35 inch display.
