Ah, one of the things Notch said on the site is that basically sound is down due to the overstrain on the server. So the sounds will be back when he gets the new server. |

Playing Minecraft while it's free for now though I probably will buy it if it's cheap as it's a lot of fun surprisingly. I'm having quite a hard time finding iron or higher though, I've dug a gigantic hole in the ground that's easily 70+ cubes deep and I've only found one little pile of iron so far that I used to make a breastplate. Good thing too because my first encounter with something that attacks was some archer blindsiding me at night and I nearly died with the armor on still. |

Question: How do you know what your items are? I've been collecting all kinds of weird blocks and ore and I don't know what is what. And not knowing what it is makes it near impossible to figure out what I might be able to craft with it. |

Fuck this game. I dig myself halfway to hell, collect a bunch of new ores and shit only to be mauled to death by zombies who come at you from nowhere on the way back up. I had to have been at the gates of hell I was so deep into that fucking cave. |

I restarted a game after falling into a hole and getting swarmed by skeleton archers. I went back to my body, killed the archers after picking up my dropped sword. . . and fell into ANOTHER hole, taking fall damage, then ANOTHER hole while trying to get back up. And there was another skeleton archer at the bottom. Who killed me. I don't even know how I could've gotten out of that place, much less back into it alive given all the fall damage. >_< |

When mining I just turned it on Peaceful after dieing over and over and losing all my stuff and respawning half a year away from the cave where I was. Good thing too because mining the vicious pit of total oblivion is hard enough as it is. Finally got a few diamonds and made a diamond pick-axe. Diamond is unbreakable! |

Bought Minecraft and finally cleared out that never ending cavern, at least all the main veins in it. Edit: Holy shit is it just me or is this game almost scarier at times with the sound on now? This game was already scaring me half to death more than anything else ever has and now I'm hearing creepy music when I suddenly approach a cavern entrance? I'm practically pissing myself at times how things seem to just jump out at you from the darkness without warning. Also is there no way to kill Creepers? I'm trying to get some gunpowder but they just keep exploding in my face, I can't seem to kill them fast enough. Archers can go to hell though with their super accuracy, my new iron weapon and armor are practically totaled after one night of killing things. Oh and I tried but I have no idea how to make a server, at least at the moment. |

You have to time the hits for creepers. Like when they rush towards you, swing your sword, then wait for them to get knocked back by the hit, then wait on them to come back, then swing again. Repeat until they're dead. Or set them on fire. Actually a good way to defend against huge mobs is to have a forest fire. they walk into the burning trees, catch on fire, ???, profit! And for skeleton archers, you can make your own bow and arrows and give them a taste of their medicine. And you have to rush and dodge their arrows then beat them down. Each creature has their own pattern of attack. |

I have my server up for Minecraft. If any of you have the game just send me a PM for the server. Had a lot of fun with GZG building fortresses and mining out an incredibly fun mine. |

I'll have to get that server info. I'm confirmed for a purchase now. I spent a lot of the day today rebuilding after my last defeat; getting knocked into a lava flow by an archer after finally amassing almost a full set of iron gear. Lost everything. So, I revised my strategy. While building my initial cave-base, I stumbled upon a massive cavern complex almost immediately, and had been exploring too deeply in there when what happened happened. This time, I moved a section at a time, clearing an area of monsters and using my excess rock to build walls while I renovated and mined each section. I was almost back to my corpse, in fact, and the precious redstone I'd noticed in the last three seconds of that life, when I decided to try something different. I had an iron breastplate again, and an iron sword, along with rock and leather everything else. I felt strong, but I wanted a new cave to explore as well. So I set out on an Adventure. Unfortunately, Adventure seems synonymous with getting fucking lost in this game. I followed the valley my home was built in until it reached a sea, but night was already falling by that point. I tunneled into a hill to wait the night, but after a couple minutes decided that my arms and armor were enough to weather whatever dangers the night might hold. At least I was right on that point. On everything else. . . however. . . no. I tried to retrace my steps, but instead of the valley I found a volcano. Thinking I must have noticed that my first time through, I turned around, and dodging zombies while killing skeletons, proceeded until I reached a beach. Assuming this was the beach I started on, I went miles up the coast both ways, but failed to find anything familiar. So I turned around again. This repeated for another full day/night cycle until I realized I was never going to find home again without respawning and giving up all my hard-earned gear. I even finally had all the string I needed for a bow! Luckily, I was saved at the last minute by my graphics driver glitching because my laptop started overheating without my notice. I had to CTRL+ALT+DEL Minecraft without saving and shut the computer down. Now my only problem is that I'm not sure this even helped. After all, my last save was after another total wipeout anyway, and now I have to clear those sections of my home cavern again. >_< As for Amnesia. . . that sounds freaking amazing. I love good survival horror, but I haven't played one I've been 100% happy with since Fatal Frame 3. I might have to give this one a try. |

You can actually find out the directions manually and theres also a Compass that you can build too. And the clouds always move north. And Sun/moon is west/east etc. You need 4 iron bars, and a redstone with it in the middle with iron bars on the cardinal directions. Played some on badboiu's server, it was awesome and fun even though the inital starting location was in the middle of the ocean on a isolated sandbar. We ended up going deep into the earth and finding a lot of iron and diamond and having nice lava baths. Also we mined a lot of obisidan... We still have to make it out of there XD. |

I never checked those directions to begin with, actually, so that didn't help me when I thought of it. It was either on a beach to the far east, or to the far west, because I could see the sun set and rise from my valley. But I don't know which! T__T |

I think the issues with the game freezing was the update itself, things in the game were changing while we were in it. After logging back into the server after a while the sound was back off. Minecarts are still messed up too. My tower is starting to go up but damnit Notch fix the damn buckets already! We don't have enough coal for this shit. |

I meant GZG and myself in the server game last night. Something was overloading the server or something and both of us had our games freeze. I originally thought it was GZG burning down an entire forest that was doing it but I don't think that was it. Anyways you're going to have to join in some time. We only have a few structures up so far since a lot of my time was spend building bridges and erecting a huge tower. |

Posted Image I'm glad you're so pleased with your work. Posted Image This is why we can't have nice things. In hindsight though I really wish I had taken a picture of it from the horizon, it looked amazing seeing an entire mountain on fire. Posted Image In retrospect at least we won't need wood...ever again. |

I may have lit the blaze, but having to tunnel out of GZG's death trap and getting hopelessly lost in those woods is what made me start it. *shakes fist* I swear you engineered that dungeon specifically to drive me crazy! |
