The video game thread

i wouldn't have bothered buying it for xbox anyway. i only wanted it because it was a pretty pc game

Yesterday I bought Portal 2 for the PS3 (I rented the other copy I mentioned the other day). This way I can play it on the PS3 and get the included PC copy, and sell the other one second hand for the same price that I bought it for. You could sell anything second hand out here.

So, what's the plan for Minecraft 1.8? I played a bit of the single player, I don't mind losing le castle if we were to move to an upgraded server, I think I could do better anyway

Haha, then I see the tumblr post entitled 'the plan'. If you cna move it go ahead, if not don't worry cos I don't mind doing something newer and more better. If we can move it, I'm gonna change it quite a lot into something a bit more pretty I think.

could we get summers/peeks to change the banner to minecraft mutiny? or posibly just the serve ip

iv generated a 4km by 4km world in a square. unfortunatly, with only the standard 128 height (theres problems when the server and client world have different heights)

this is the world, i'm just uploading it now, im not going to be around to migrate stuff now but feel free to get settled and shiznits. go and claim an area, don't take anything from anywhere but where you settle.

Where abouts is spawn? Is it in the middle?
Also are we able to extend the square? I went exploring last night but was fearful that I'd gone too far so killed myself. Is there like an edge of the world?
I found an area I quite liked, but I'm a sucker for caves and what I want to make involves a nice big flat area, preferably with lots of trees.
Looking at the map, do you not think there might be too much sandy area? Is anyone planning on a sandy area?
Can we see glass through glass yet?

spawn is in the middle
i had planned not to but should everyone want it expanding a bit, we could do that.

as for glass, the old way is still the case, however it worked before

You know how summers does a skamutiny pod cast thesedays.

Want to record like a 5 min skype conversation about mine craft/ants/dawfs/feltch and post a link to it on all summers facebook posts?

ants?
you know im always for messing with summers

You've got me stumped at ants too.

Earth defence force perhaps?

oh, of course, now i feel stupid

speaking of minecraft

edf

Who has settled yet? I found a village and wasn't sure if it was somebody's. I checked on the map and there's a place to the south (bottom right?) of it that I like. It's by a deep lake and has some hills but is also quite flat. If nobody has claimed it and it's not too near spawn, I'd like to go there.

sorry i didn't reply to this in good time, however this should never be a problem again!

That is amazing. I went on last night and couldn't build anything in my area though. It said I do not have 'permission to build here.' I haven't tried it yet today so the problem may be solved.

ah, shit, i'll look into this

all fixed

if theres anything people want to build in creativemode, how about you put a proposal up on the tumblr? it would be cool if people want to build communal buildings, a big statue by spawn, that sort of thing, good idea/bad idea?

How would that work? Would we create it on our own in creative single player and then paste it into the server?

nah, i'll just switch your account to creative mode while you work on it, you get infinite of all blocks and can fly.

im on building the railroad up to your house feltchy, i was planning on having the rail move through the desert and around the village near yours. unless you have any objections it'll stop by the river east of your house. The stop itself will be very basic but feel free to make it bigger/better.

I would be up for doing some of this sort of stuff, a big dam looks cool and it'd be nice to somehow make a rickety bridge over a ravine like in Holy Grail
