Minecraft Adventures – Episode 24 – Castle is DONE!

In this episode of Minecraft Adventures, we are putting the finishing touches on our castle. This includes roofs on the front towers and building a Nether Portal in one of the side towers. Perhaps there will be a little more in the future, perhaps a 3rd tower on the back wall, but for now it is a complete structure. Now the trick will be keeping the ogres from messing with it. Even with the End Stone core walls, they could do some pretty decent damage to the first layer of stone. Or god forbid I run into another Big Golem… not sure if End Stone can stop them or not (and I don’t want to find out). If you enjoy . . .

Minecraft Adventures – Episode 23 – Castle Progressing Nicely

In this episode of Minecraft Adventures, you can see some of the progress I have made on the castle, I have two towers built and the main surrounding wall. I am now working on the main entrance which will have the main throne room above. Also, made some Redstone lamps to help illuminate the main courtyard, which has had a problem with mob spawning. Not seen (as I lost some video files) was me constructing the outer walls – they have an End Stone core to prevent ogres from busting through. I also have a nice ‘cellar’ below the castle, thanks to the ogres (hence the ogre proof walls now). There is also an underground access shaft in one of . . .

Piston Xi3 Open for Pre-sale

After months of speculation and intrigue, Xi3 is opening pre-sale on what was initially thought to be the official Steam Box. We have since learned that it isn’t, though the Piston is a Valve approved third party solution. The Piston is Xi3′s updated variant of their Modular PC line. The system is built upon an AMD 3.2Ghz Quad Core (R464), which is a 3.2GHz quad-core with built-in graphics processor rated as a Radeon HD 7660G, and paired with 8GB of DDR3 Ram. While not going to win any performance awards, the setup should be able to run most games with modest settings applied. That could make this a nice gaming solution for the living room, having a small foot print . . .

Minecraft Adventures – Episode 20 – Portal Home

In the last few episodes of Minecraft Adventures, we have been traveling around on our ever constant quest to find a NPC village on this server. And although we have yet to find it, we did find some other cool stuff. For instance, in the two episodes, we battled an Ender Lord and then farmed it’s palace for valuables. In those valuables, I got bunch of Obsidian and I decided – it is time to go home. Of course, that means I have about 4000+ meters to go on foot. If I travel via nether portal, though, that is cut down to about 500 meters, so I headed off to my buddies nearby redwood house that has a portal in . . .

Minecraft Adventures – Episode 16

In this episode of Minecraft Adventures, it is time to go home. I have been out in the wilderness searching for a village for days now (ok, maybe hours…). I haven’t found one and I am out of food. I can’t find any animals to eat or plants, or anything… other than rotten Zombie flesh. I am low on health and can only travel during the day for fear of creatures attacking me. On my way home, the server decides it isn’t going to cooperate, so I end up falling through the map. After several attempts to teleport myself, I make it back to my buddies home base. Unfortunately, the server is still treating me poorly so I log out . . .
