X's Funny Moments Montage
A YouTuber by the name of TheYakov2020 created this montage of some funny moments throughout my Let’s Plays. I laughed when watching it. :)
I’ve embedded the video below, but you should visit the YouTube page it’s on directly if you want to leave a comment. :)
Thanks, Yakov2020! :D
Oops! Sorry, Notch!
So it turns out Notch saw it, but didn’t read my previous blog post.
And I don’t blame him. The title I gave the blog post — “What’s Wrong with Minecraft (and How to Fix it)” — comes off (unintentionally) as, “Hey, Notch, let me fix that boring game of yours.”
Now that I think about it, I was pretty ignorant to think he wouldn’t take...
What's Wrong with Minecraft (and How to Fix it)
UPDATE: IMPORTANT: Notch has responded to this post. I wanted him to read this blog entry, but it’s clear that he doesn’t want to, AND THAT’S PERFECTLY FINE. I don’t want a whole legion of people attacking him about his decision, and I don’t want anybody else trying to get him to read it.
I sincerely thank everyone who thought my critique was valid and who were...

Goodbye, 2010, and hey, thanks.
2010 was a fantastic year for me. 2011 will be hard pressed to beat it.
“Hey, Dave,” he said, looking at me sitting at my work computer. ”This’ll be the year, Dave.”
He was right.
His name was Mike… I don’t remember his last name. He was a heavy set fellow with a warm spirit and a big, genuine heart. It was December of 2009, and I was working at a...

About my Live Stream, Fallout, Cataclysm,...
It’s been a while since I updated my blog! But there are some things I’ve been wanting to talk about, so I’ll make a quick update here.
What’s become of Fallout: New Vegas?
Well, I ran into some serious technical issues with the game while recording. One part of the game had busted polygons that would stretch into eternity and flash on the screen wildly, and I...

New Computer!
Yay, a new computer, finally! This is the first time I’ve ever had a computer that can run brand new games. In the past, my computers have always been a few generations behind.
I have to thank everyone who donated. It took me a while to actually build the machine (3 days in my spare time!), and I spent the whole last week testing it.
Before I go any further, let me give you the...

Totally Just Beat Starcraft 2
I totally just beat Starcraft 2. I will not post spoilers about it, and I do not want spoilers in the comments of this entry, so please be courteous.
I will say this, though: I loved it. It did a great job of making me feel like I was put right back into the story I played through in 1998, even though that was 12 years ago.
The campaign was fun and very interactive. I’m looking forward...

Just a Few Things
So I’m at a friend’s house, and we’re all just chilling out. I happen to have my laptop here, so I figured I’d make a blog entry. I haven’t updated this thing in a while. :)
Man I love nights like this. Sitting around a table with a big group of friends, a beer in hand. And no, I don’t drink very often at all, and when I do, it’s never very much....

Starcraft Commentary
I don’t know how many of you care about, or even KNOW about Starcraft commentary (both Starcraft 1 and Starcraft 2) but it has a very special place in my heart. Recently, some alarming things have happened in the English Starcraft commentary world that have me on edge.
It began when Klazart retired from the world of e-sports commentary. That, to me, was a hurtful blow, but I got through...
I love Minecraft, but...
I love Minecraft, and no, I’m not going to stop making videos about it.
But be ready to start seeing a healthy infusion of videos from the other games I’ve played on my channel, and maybe a couple new ones. Half-Life 2, mainly.
I’d do Castlevania for sure if I was positive I could get it set up correctly on this new laptop… getting it recorded and uploaded on the PC was...
Minecraft in 1080p
I think I’ll try making my next YouTube video (Minecraft) in 1080p, just to see how it looks and how big the file size will be.
So Close, Yet So Far
Just spent the past… oh, 7 straight hours trying to stream. It’s just not going to happen right now, I’m afraid.
There are still a couple of things I can try, but I really think the problem lies in my Internet connection and is thusly well out of my control. I’ve got 25Mb download and 2Mb upload, which is more than enough to stream gaming. And the specs on this computer...
Got Some New Hardware + Possible Justin.tv Stream?
Alright, so one of my friends was EXTREMELY kind to me recently. He flat out gave me a full-fledged Dell Laptop. The specs are not what most would call amazing, but they are better than my current PC. They are:
Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4 Ghz Dual Core Processor
4 GB of RAM
512 MB Dedicated Graphics Card (Not integrated!)
150 GB Hard Drive (Partitioned; 136 GB...
So much Minecraft!
“more half life 2 please”
“What happened to Frost Tanking Heroics?”
“I love your minecraft videos, but what happened to Half-Life 2?”
“Do you plan to play any more WoW?”
I get a lot of comments and messages similar to these, and I understand why. Minecraft is absolutely fantastic (in fact, I feel like playing it right now… I think...
The blog, she's here!
So I’ve finally started up this blog. I had intended to start it on my own domain name, but setting it up on tumblr was much easier. Plus it’s free. And I didn’t want to spend a lot of time messing with designing my own theme and scripting things in PHP… I’d rather save all that time for making videos and just generally being creative.
I’m going to keep...
