Exactly. Also your chicken thing made me laugh lots.

This is the reason I've as yet avoided it.

fuck fuck fuck

fuck fuck fuck. I had the whole folder on ignore for this very reason. Then I noticed a couple of interesting threads when I was reading while not logged in. So I took the thread off ignore...and this is what happens! (fail)

I rather suspect that I'd waste a fair amount of time, achieve little, and get thoroughly bored, TBH. Overall, I far prefer masturbation as a way of passing the time, if it must be passed.

(oh, and I'm with you on phone threads)

:D

Of course masturbation is always preferable but there's only so much you can do without getting sore.

I'd deffffinately rather spend my time doing nothing in a game than watching TV (etc.) though. At least it's an active nothing.

Think I need a bigger castle :'D

For some reason I really like making homes within a cliff face. I'm going to try and make my own Rocamadour.

That would be awesome.

 

 

I wonder if I'm the only one who tries to scroll around images like that with my mouse (as if I were playing)

I often find myself trying to click or hover over things in LotRO screenshots.

Haha, I tried to do that on a YouTube video earlier :'D

You know the stories about building your house on sand Kos :C

It's not /on/ sand, It's floating /above/ the sand.

As long as it's held up by one thin column of rock, you'll be fine.

 

{{unrealistic simulations}}

not in minecraft - you can build castles in the sky, no problems at all

...really? I haven't played in too long, can't remember :(

Sand and gravel both require blocks underneath them, else they fall.

Everything else can be stuck onto a wall/floor/ceiling and they'll stay there (even if the block is then removed).

(Of course, water and lava will flow downwards, if there's no block below, but the source block stays in place.)

Actually, there's a few more exceptions - organic blocks (leaves,cactus,canes,etc) have special rules about how they can be placed, or if they'll stay in place.

Ooh, ok. I can't say I'd noticed before, I only got around to very basic building in Minecraft :-$

 

I keep restarting, I tend to think I want a particular world with plenty of hills and mountains and stuff... I should stop being picky and just get on with something.

I now want to play waste several hours this evening and start making a floating shelter, evolving into a floating base (of DOOM, with lava/water around it to stop creeps and possibly automated dispenser traps). Someone will owe me a life :C

You think you'll get that done in just "several hours"? :P
