I was checking that out a couple years back, just a few months before my 18th birthday. Couldn't end up doing it obviously, since I wasn't 18 at the time. Wasn't it an hourly pay around 3 or 4 dollars an hour? Yeah, if you were even that lucky. There was a lot of really crappy stuff about it. The s...

I've played with it a little bit in the past, but I can't really say I'd recommend it. There are some jobs that pay pretty well, but they're really few and far between, and they're by far more of a pain in the ass than the .10c ones, so you wind up convincing yourself it'd be easier to do more of th...

Not too sure how the info is stored, but I don't think that it's easily accessible, so unfortunately I don't think you can add it to the game without actually putting into a book in-game. Nice test, too - the primary reason I put the calculation feature in was to get numbers on big projects like tha...

Wow, seeing this inspired me. I found the first text file on my computer, which was a story I am writing, and copied the prologue in. It's 23 pages long (In Minecraft books), and fits into one book. Did you say how many pages fit into a book? Yeah, the output is divided into books and pages, so if ...

After a bit of messing with c-strings I realized that I dislike them, and decided that simply using c++ strings was the easiest option. Program works like a charm. Here's a sample of output, //*******************// // Book 1 // //*******************// *** Page 1 *** I. The Horror In Clay The most me...

NOTE: The link to the program is in my next post (2 or 3 posts down), this one's just background and the question I asked before I'd written it. //skip down if you don't want to read my rambling background post Just today, I played with the new writeable books for the first time. And HOLY SHIT, I am...

There's nothing revolutionary in terms of this build in and of itself - it consists of only five blocks. However, the idea behind it, I think, was a pretty good one. I typically set up small outposts all throughout any cave system or mineshaft I explore. They usually contain some chests, a furnace, ...

Reading through this thread doesn't give me much of a hint towards your underlying problem, but one possibility is to try out a different Linux distro. There's also a chance that something in your friend's firewall settings may be the issue, perhaps somehow it's not allowing him to connect to the vi...

The problem with EE, as I understand it, is that your "giant all-doing factory" really doesn't need to be giant (or at least giant and complicated) at all. I believe Sarudak's point in the other topic was that once you build a huge, simple farm with high output, like perhaps a big reed far...

I can't remember for sure but I'm fairly certain it was at least one stack. Usually when I make redstone I just convert a stack of gold (therefore 9 stacks of hellfire dust, since I hadn't remembered to convert it to concentrated), which may have been the case this time as well. I'm guessing though ...

Ahh, this reminds me of a similar incident. It was especially devastating due to the fact that I had a rather nice looking building, and the fact that it was my fault for trying to remember the redstone synthesis recipe without checking. The building, pre-accident: http://i.imgur.com/58Cam.png From ...

I just started a new world as well, figuring that with all the hardcore stuff of late it'd be nice to get some new scenery to destroy. It's a particularly nice seed, you start out in a pretty large forest and there's a desert, plains, swamp, snow biome of some kind, extreme hills with lots of high w...

I hope this is enough of a contribution to the thread to not be considered necro. I actually typed this in response to a different thread and by the time I was done it was so long and off topic for that thread it just seemed better to put it here: I recently started a new map, and my experiences in ...

It's a special sensation to be sure ;) Honestly man, I don't know if I could handle it. I think if I was involved with a project of that scope I would have to just bury my head in the sand and ignore the internet whenever update time came around - if I had to actually listen to that many idiots yel...

Jesus, the level of trolling and stupidity in that thread is really shameful. I can't believe how many idiots want to waste their time arguing about which mod is best, or whether forge or ML updates first, or whatever other stupid garbage enters their minds. The most annoying thing about all this, t...

I'm a big fan of podcasts, several I listen to or have listened to are: Psuedopod - horror podcast, they read horror short stories. Usually pretty good, sometimes a bit long though. The Good Atheist - centers on issues of interest to atheists but is pretty informal and conversational, highly addicti...

Going to have a go at it, I remember being highly amused at some gameplay videos that I found as a result of the last thread. Anyone know how significant the difference between the free demo and the current iteration of the paid game is?

Seriously, it's like whomever writing the series was the only person on the planet that thought Thunderdome was the best Mad Max film Eek. This alone is enough to make me turn up my nose at the series. Thunderdome was such a disappointment. Except, maybe, for the titular Thunderdome, but that didn'...

When walking around my End occasionally thunder would sound, on closer inspection it appears that the Endermen are causing the noise also causing a puff of smoke and ending with the Enderman disappearing (could this be the way they travel between dimensions?) This intrigues me - didn't thunder soun...

Perhaps i could offer some advice based on real life experience. ... Same idea for me. Whenever something that requires waiting occurs, I just go make a new coffee or take a smoke break. No sense sitting there waiting for virtual rain to stop, you need a break from the game occasionally anyway, and...

Smoke some weed I just don't understand people who like doing it. Why? Why use drugs? Too risky. Rather just get drunk and in worst case scenario you will puke. Not really here to debate about this, but I think its pretty safe to say that the worst case scenario with weed is a lot less horrible tha...

Here's a couple of links for those who are interested: Park - A pretty average run of one of the earlier levels The notoriously challenging Night Temple level Yotta Difficult - This is probably the craziest level I've seen. Doubt that's within my skill... for now! Also the IGN Review has a video tha...

Anyone try out Dustforce? I got it in the Humble Bundle recently (always a good purchase) and have fallen very much in love. It's an excellent action platformer, one of those ones where you repeat the same level over and over, trying to complete it, or trying to get a perfect rank. You play as one o...

Completely didn't realize how often I check this forum until it was gone, must have caught myself trying to get on 20 different times. MCF was not much of a substitute, either (although seeing some familiar faces over there made things a little better). Happy to say that my withdrawal can be over, g...

Ah, ok. I figured that was the case. Probably shoulda just googled that myself lol, but thanks for the reply.
