Please pardon the mess

Blog host here, I'm just here to tell you that I have changes in the works for this, I've deleted a few posts and added some new ones, nothing really new other than that (Yet). Soon I will add some minecraft tutorial videos (and pictures) and some video game related things. I will also be reviewing music and videos every now and again, so please stay tuned for that.

Minecraft Tips #1

Always make a path from where you build something, out to where you explore, it's easy to get lost without some kind of markers to show your way, and it's a bad feeling when you search for materials and then lose your building.

Wood can burn, so be careful not to have a open fire or lava nearby.

Plant trees when you chop a tree down so later on you have more trees, instead of having to go out further and further.

Always carry enough torches, and don't carry unnecessary/valuable items.

Light the area around your main base/bunker so that monsters can not spawn nearby.

 You can get monsters to fight each other, sometimes its easier to have them fight each other and then pick off the winner.

Mega Man X Review

Mega Man X was the first in a series of games made by Capcom that was released late 1994/early 1995, it was the first Megaman that was released on the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) and later on the computer, and was the first of many games not to feature the original Mega Man and Wily, instead this game was a new part of a vast story with new characters. The game changed how you played, allowing you to switch between the 8 weapons instantly, gave you armor upgrades which gave you new abilities like dashing (instead of sliding) and to break blocks with your feet/head. It let you charge your shots like in the later mega man games. Gone were the energy cans that filled up your life, instead you got 4 sub tanks that you could fill by gathering energy when your life was full. You could climb up walls and dash, the game changed how you played megaman, as I've stated before, and these changes were for the better.

The new character X could be seen as a highly advanced version of Mega Man, instead of having morals, he was given free will to do whatever he wanted to do and the emotions of a human. He was built by Light but had to be sealed away for x number of years. When he was activated in the future, he helped the humans build more like himself, but they could turn evil at any time. X helped Dr. Cain form a group called the Maverick hunters, who would help subdue (or destroy) the offending robots (reploids).

This game received a re-release on the ps2, xbox, and gamecube, and a remake on the PSP (I may review it at some point).

I give this game a 9/10, it was a really good first game in a series of great to decent games.
It's the same intro stage + 8 mavericks + 4 stages (1 of which is a second fight with all of the bosses).

DVD Review: Super Mario Brothers Super Show

Super Mario Brothers Super Show was something I remember watching as a kid, it was every kids dream, a cartoon about the two lovable plumbers, a talking mushroom, and a princess from the hit video game series Super Mario Brothers. The show itself was a little cheesy in it's humor, but what Saturday morning cartoon wasn't? It also had a cheesy live action segment before and after the cartoon part.  The original airings of this show had licensed music in the cartoon segments and many guest stars in the live action part. The DVD release of this took out the music sadly but keeps everything else the same, I'm fine with that (Though my favorite episode did take a hit because of it.) This is something I would even show my kids one day, that's how much it has stuck on me, and I recommend it to my readers.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent Short Review

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a survival horror game created by Frictional Games (a small indie game) like never I've played before. You start off as a man called Daniel and you have to remember what you made yourself forget. The story is told through various journal entries. The graphics are dark and gritty and the environment can suck you in at times. The game recommends you wear headphones and lose yourself in the game, and it's great about getting you lost in it.

I'd recommend this to people who like unique games and or is looking for a great game made by the creators of  Penumbra: Overture (I have yet to play it)
