Topics I've Started

Domestic Beer

29 August 2013 - 07:00 PM

I was down at the local Safeway buying myself a six-pack of Jeez-you're-cheap Busch Beer when I noticed a sign for Domestic Beer.  "hmmmm...." me thinks, "they've managed to teach beer to clean house. How can anyone not want to buy some?"  Apparently I was under a misunderstanding.  A "beer connoisseur" assured me that domestic beer, is that rather crass everyday beer that bozo's like me drink.

 

Apparently there are beers that are "non-domestic" that make you soooo much more high-faluten when you drink them.

 

Who knew?

Wow. I thought I was a minority when I finally realized that I have grown less tolerant child-run servers.

 

I can see that we oldies, (or wrinklies as someone else said), are not such a small group.


If Notch agreed to personally add two changes to minecraft, what would yours be?

26 August 2013 - 10:09 AM

I know mine.  I would want redstone to be in the blocks instead of on top of them.  That way it wouldn't disfigure a great build, and it would be easy to run up and down as well as in the cardinal directions.

 

My second change would be better track switching for minecart tracks.  I don't know how this would work.  I would like to be able to create tracks that can be switched from inside the minecart, so one time I might want to turn south, and maybe the next run on the track I want to turn north. In addition, a X crossing track would be great. That way a north/south track can cross a east/west track.

 

What are your two changes?

 

Edit: Use the wrong word in the title, and you are frog milk! It should be *two*, not to.


What do you use for build inspiration?

26 August 2013 - 04:12 AM

Some of the things I use are historical buildings such as the City of Petra.  I've also been inspired by the Chicago Worlds Fair, White City. The historical society has quite a collection of photos, and actual measurements of the buildings.

 

I've even searched the internet for haunted houses, abandoned buildings, and mansions.

 

I've even thought of doing an underground build inspired by the burial tombs of the Pharohs.

 

What do you do?

While I'm waiting... REDSTONE!!

25 August 2013 - 10:53 PM

Well, someone mentioned loving to play with redstone in their application, so I thought I would share the story behind the GREATEST REDSTONE CREATION EVER (In my mind at least), and how I created it!

 

On the server I currently play on, I have a large chestshop.  I enjoyed having people buy stuff, but I absolutely dreaded having to check each chest to see if it was out of stock.  Sure, the server would tell me when a chest was out of stock if I was on, but it didn't tell me about any that might have gone out of stock while I was offline.  I was frustrated.  Sooo.... I put on my thinking cap, and after much sweat, smoke, and sawdust, the Chestshop Out of Stock Light, or COL was born!  Rather than describe it, I will share a link to my youtube tutorial.  You'll actually get to hear me speak.. I think I have a tiny lisp, and sound sort of like Sylvester the Cat in parts of it.  Enjoy!
