Bigger is Better

Not a lot of submissions this week.  I blame a social life which every now and then I like to pretend I have.

But besides that I'm wondering if constantly throwing games at the internet is a good idea or if I should slow down and submit a few more thought out ideas over longer stretches of time?  I don't know, its hard to say if that's a good idea or if I should just stop burning myself out so fast from one thing to another.  Anyway, some more citycraft soon, promise!

If fate gave you a lotto ticket...

I've not much time but I want to get my thoughts out before they vanish, if only so I can look back on them later.

An offer has come to my attention today, an offer that may actually boost my traffic on youtube.  To me it seems like a lotto ticket, a chance to win big or remain as I am.

The demands are resonable and they have results to back up their claim with a quick browse of the internet.  All I have to do is agree to make money, but thats the problem.

I went into this thinking that I would never make money, that I just kind of liked messing around with adobe as something to do and always just loved people looking at my stuff but now that theres a lottery ticket in front of me that sais I could actually win something, all I have to do is try do I want to try?  If I scratch the ticket, win or loose it suddenly becomes about money and legalality of my content.  Doing it just for skills sake doesn't usually result in much a backlash legally so long as you're not making money.

This is just a quick thought but it's something thats been lingering in my head the last two days.  Do you scratch the ticket, admitting its about money, or just go on in obscurity refining your talent? 

Maybe I'll just tell myself that being with an organization will help refine my skills since they did promise to teach me stuff...  I think I'll scratch the ticket before long.

When to Ban from minecraft

So you'll probably hear on my next episode of minecraft that we had to ban someone. 

I'm curious what you think it takes to ban someone from a server or what others who are reading this might have been banned for that seemed unfair.

Basically the man wasn't participating with the rest of the group as was the point of this co-op minecraft scenario we where running.  He explored large chunks of the map against the server host advicement because it makes the server more difficult to backup.  He did this to loot all the chests nearby.  he went into the twilight area alone without recording and killed the fortress. 

All of that is just kinda jerkish but not bannable in my opinion.  The one that did him in i think was when he kept trying to use a mod that currently crashes the server several times, each time being warned not to use it.

Admin said that we can do better for our server which I believe but made me wonder what it would take before I ban someone from a server myself.

New CityCraft! Lots of mayor stuff

f
Just seems like stuff never stops to slow down in this new series!  Day 3 and we've already got a mystery on hands revolving around the mayor.

Also, been getting more comfortable with adobe but I think I'm lacking, wondering if anyone knows any good sites to get sound effect stuff or anything they think this is lacking.  I feel like as much as I do I'm not doing something right or forgetting something I'm not sure.  Just nothing ever feels finished for whatever reason.

CityCraft Ep 2 - Roads and Black Robes

f
So here is the next episode of our minecraft 'CityCraft' where I find out that we may have a bit of an evil wizard problem.  Also spend some time straightening up my build.  There's now a front to the house with a road, yay!

Hello!

So I've joined a group called Midcore Gamers who I gota say are a lot of fun.  They've showed me a fair amount of material and editing tricks as well as taken some of my stuff to make our videos overall better.  Most of all it's great having some creative and enthusastic people to play with!  We've started work on a new series for minecraft called CityCraft.  If you want to learn more about it then just watch my first video, the links seem to be a bit funked right now so this is all I can link here instead of a full embeded video

Besides this I'm thinking if I want to kick up my Don't Starve series again.  it was a lot of fun and some of the guys from Midcore Gamers where thinking of giving it a go so I may get back into it.  The dark souls series I've been posting doesn't seem to have taken to well with anyone so I plan to slow down on it, maybe one upload a week or something like that it's hard to say.

There are just to many games I want to play.  besides minecraft and Dark Souls, theres Don't Starve, Gnomoria, Terraria, and more and more the more I think about it!  BLAH!

Also want to do more interviews and comics.  What would you ask content creators like youtubers or video game makers if you could ask questions?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's here, it's here!  Thank god it's finally here!

And no, that's not finnally here like I couldn't wait 2 days for it to come in the mail, that's it's finnally here after years of saving, watching my savings vanish time and time again to utilities, suprise bills, the car and supernatural events the defy sanity.

After all those years of saving I fiiiiinally got the new system!  yay!  I tested it out today and it records like a dream, it handles games flawlessly and I haven't even stuck a good video card in it just yet!  It records great and processes video in a fraction of the time.  I hope to have my first new video up within a few days after I finish meddling with the computers setup.

It is windows 8 and I don't like all the changes but I'm quickly figuring out just how it works and It's really not 'that' bad when you get into it.  within a few days I'll probably not even notice all the insane changes they made.  We'll see, and maybe I can play a game where I die a lot for everyone's amusement.
