No videos

Hey!

I am sorry to say this since I kinda promised. But There will be no videos uploaded while I am in greece. I simply have not had time to record any videos theese last few days since there is alot of things that I've had to do.

Sorry for this, but it's only 10 days!

And there is a competition starting tomorrow! Don't miss it!

fredag 1 juli 2011

Competition

Episode 5 of the Let's Play was uploaded yesterday


Though I am having some trouble with youtube lately, one thing that really bothers me is that my videos doesn't get "submitted" to my subscribers, so you can't see it on you "first page" on youtube =( anyone have any idea why this is?

IRON MAIDEN
Anyway, today I am going across Sweden to watch an Iron Maiden consert in Gothenburg (Stockholm >> Gothenburg)! Therefore you will get your technical video tomorrow instead.

GREECE
Also! on sunday I am going to Greece! to challkidiki to be precise. I'm going to be in greece from the 3rd to the 13th and I will therefore not be able to answer any messages I get during that time. Though I will try to have a few videos uploaded and on a timer so that you get videos even though I am abroad. How does that sound?

COMPETITION
While I am in greece I'm thinking of having some sort of competition aswell. What would you like to win?

What coming up?

Hey guys!

1.7 is coming soon, on thursday if we are to belive Jeb and Notch!

So what's in 1.7? let's just quote a tweet by Jeb

"1.7 will include pistons, shears, redstone repeater fix and fences on fences. It will not include the new lighting"

So what do we think of this? Well I for one love pistons! though it's going to be hard to make sticky ones since you will need slime balls... The Shear is going to be nice since you will be able to "defuse" tnt and pick them back up again if you misplace one. The redstone repeater fix I am not even sure what it is, I have not experianced anything wrong with them, have any of you guys? and then, fences on fences... LOVE IT! no more placing fance on to of block, destroying block to place fence beneth, MOAHAHAHAA!

I'll be sure to come out with a piston video on thursday!

No idea

I'm drawing blanks, I have no idea what to build at the moment. Do you have any suggestions of what I could make?

Midsummer

Hey guys!

Sorry for the slow updates but I have been busy celebrating midsummer here in Sweden. We gather around a big pole dressed in flowers and other green things, it kida looks like a penis...


And well, we tend to drink a tad bit to much so I haven't had the energy to update you ^^

Though I have uploaded some videos since the last post, the latest one is a tutorial of the combination lock that I used in the Death Track.

Pistons

Hey peeps!

Guess what? Yesterday Jeb (Mojang) put ut a video of the pistons that WILL be included in 1.7, WO motha f*cking HO!

You can watch the video below.


And one of the biggest differences I can see with the vanilla pistons compared to the piston mod is that you can NOT throw people, gravel or sand up in the air with the vanilla pistons as you could with the mod version. Good or bad? hmm haven't decided yet.

Another thing is that we finally have a use for slimeballs! to make the sticky pistons. A problem with that as that you (atleast I) don't come around that many slimes. And to get a decent ammount of slime balls you either have to find like a dozen small smiles or one really big one.

Don't forget that there is a new LP episode uploading tonight!

fredag 10 juni 2011

New video tonight

Yet another new video coming tonight. It'll be released at 20:00 CET (2,5 hours from NOW) and is based on a Etho contraption.

Between the 3k sub special and today I have released the second LP episode which way less people have watched, atleast so far. I think ep. 1 was at 2500 views after one week so we'll see what ep. 2 is on when I release ep.3.

I think that I'll atleast give the LP between 5 and 10 episodes and then see what the reaction to the series is in total.

Now I am going to go and melt somewhere, it's freaking hot in Stockholm.

måndag 6 juni 2011

3000 Subscribers!

Woho, I'm up to 3000 subscribers! I know I am the worst guy in the world to make specials... But here is a little thing for you!

söndag 5 juni 2011

Bank

As I mentioned yesterday I have made a new bank, Bank 2.0 so to say. And here it is!

Before bed update

Quick update before I'm hedaing to bed.

The bank video was released at 19:00 CET today, don't know how mamny has watched it yet, it got stuck at 302 views. Though I had quite a lot of "likes" on it!

Some people were claiming that I stole/copied their banks, which abviusly is NOT true. I made a prototype for the bank like the day after the boster tracks got implemented. I just haven't had the time to build a full scale bank until now. So everyone saying that I stole their design are WRONG, sorry but that's the way it is.

And I've been quite active on the fan-server today aswell. I've build me a cottage to live in and a PVP arena. A video about that will probably come aswell.

Time to sleep!

lördag 4 juni 2011

hmm what now

Okey so there were no fast updates from me, hehe.

I can inform you that I am currantly uploading a video that will be realeased at 19:00 CET. That's about 2,5 hours from when I am posting this.

I can also inform you that I am working on getting the server me and MedicAtk is renting up for more public use again, with more mods to prevent horrible stuff from happening.

And last of all I can inform you that I am invited to sort of a "fan-server" with Docm, Stephen, Etho and some other Youtube wierdos. I might be allowed to hold some sort of contest to let one or several of my followers to joing us on the server so keep an eye out on my Youtube channel!

onsdag 1 juni 2011

Back

Okey so I'm back here!

I'll give more updates from now on, about all the shit that is Minecraft.

Starting... NOW!

New Elevator

By the way, here is the new piston elevator I made yesterday!

I'm back!

Hey kids I'm back!

Finished my bachelor report on monday at 11:53, 7 minutes before it was due ^^

So now I am back, planning to play more Minecraft then what I've done these last few weeks. I should probably get online on the server and check it out as well.

Though I've bought portal 1 and 2 so I have to finish them aswell!

Zombie mode

I've entered Zombie mode for the 1231235 time in the last 6 days...

Zombie mode is when I'm simply just staring at the screen, reading a bounch of text, realizing I haven't understood anything and then reading it again. I have pretty much been working every hour that I've been awake during theese last 6 days with my bachelor exam, which is due on Monday... I'm dying from it atm, but god damn it's gonna feel good when I hand it in at 12:00 on monday.

Skins

Hello out there!

First off I just wanted to thank everyone that still visists the blog even though I am not very active on it. But that will change as soon as I am done with the Bachelor exam and I get my degree!

I took one hour off from studying yesterday and made this elevator prototype.



And one last thing! I feel like I need a new skin for minecraft. Since I started making videos I've used Mr. T, Chuck Norris and now I am using Mr. Spock. Any idea what skin I should use now? Post a comment here to help me out!

And don't forget to visit my youtube channel and say hello on the wall!

måndag 25 april 2011

Laying low

Hey guys (and girls)

There won't be much updating for me for a while. As I probably have mentioned before I am curranyly working on my bachelor exam. Which is due in about 2 weeks and I really have to speed thing up to get the grade that I want. So there will not be that much updates here on the blog nor uploads on youtube I am afraid!

Ofc I will keep it up, but not more then like 1 video each week.
Take care!

Two Movies in one day?!

So I made another movie yesterday, this one is dedicated solely to The Booster Rail.

Wonderful weather

It is a wonderful day in Stockholm, Sweden today!

Sunny, about 20 degrees (celcius ofc) in the sun and I am on my front lawn studying, drinking coffee and sweating like I haven't done all winter... Love it!

Pistons

As you might, and might not have seen on youtube theese last few days, I've been playing around a little with the piston mod.

So yesterday, after work, in between yelling at my friends being assviolators on me and MedicAtk's server I had a little time to do some more playing and testing with the pistons.

I tested if you could kill a player with them, so I bravely put myself between 8 pistons and activated the! Nothing happened to me though.

And yesterday a guy called muiic on youtube tested if he could squeeze some zombies to death with pistons... he could not.

I think we can safely assume that it is not possible to kill mobs or players with the pistons itself.

fredag 15 april 2011

Working hard!

Yeah as the title hints I am at work at the moment, working really hard. When you are happy to work since you are so bored of school, you are really bored. Or, I'm not tired of school, it's just so much to do and so little time left, I'm really freaking stressed out! puh. Can't wait do be done with it and get the freaking Bachelor exam ^^

Very well, I have uploaded two more piston videos since the last post, I won't post them here though, it's so easy to find them on youtube! It's another dispencer trap and a fall trap.

I also have an idea with pistons that isn't a trap. And this idea could probably be used within the fall trap to make it more efficient!

We'l see if I have time to work on them during the weekend nights (since I am working saturday and sunday 8-18)

I'll see if someone want's to join me on a mumble chat on my server aswell, while recording ofc. What would you like to know about the players on the server?

onsdag 13 april 2011

Piston Mod

So I installed the piston mod yesterday and played around a little with it, mainly trying to get some sort of dispenser trap thingy made and came up with one design yesterday, and one today.



måndag 11 april 2011

One hour

I've spend the better part of the last hour to reply to everyone on youtube that I haven't answerd yet and then cleaned it up so that I only have the most recent and important messages left. Jees I never thought it could take so long to give a short and simple answer to a horde of persons!

Most people just wanted to say that they liked my videos and such so it made me happy atleast! I am always glad when I can help you guys and when you appriciate what I do!

One more thing, how did you find out about me?
Was a friend that told you about me?
Related videos on youtube?
google minecraft blog?

Post a comment on youtube, send me a message on youtube or post a comment here about how you found out about me!

Over and Out

Applications

Hello there!

I have gotten quite a few applications from people who wanted to join our server! I'm really happy the interest is so big.

The problem is that we can't accept all of you unfortunatly... We have not decided a specific number of people that will be able to join us yet, but I think we'll start with a lower number just so that we are sure that the server can handle it, hehe.

Me, MedicAtk, Esenex, Varmkorx and Mowlai started to go through the applications late last night. But there were so many applications, and each one took so long to go through (discussions about each individual) that we had to cut before we were finished, but we will do the rest tonight.

fredag 8 april 2011

Mature players

Sometimes we are real mature when playing together on the server...

Yesterday we found out that Jambawe and Qpatch had built their own little house away from the rest of us. Ofcourse MedicAtk and Mowlai then had to go find it!

And when they did, they built this outside their house.

I especially like how the cow closest is watching MedicAtk, who took the picture,
and the other cow and the pig is watching Mowlai

Server rented!

Hello everyone!

So guess what?!

Yesterday me and MedicAtk started renting a server from a company called Fragnet , first we were thinking of renting a smaller server that would menage me and my friends, all together 11 humaniods. But then we changed our minds and upgraded it one step so that I would hold up to about twice as many players.

This means that I could invite a few of you on to the server to play with us! Unfortunatly I can't invite you all since the server probably wouldn't be able to handle the ammount of payers (I had ALOT of requests from people that wanted to come and build with me and my friends). Therefore I have to have some sort of application where you have to fill in a few facts about yourself, just for fun. No one will be judged depending on age, gender or where they live. And then the important part, you got to send me some screens of what you have made earlier on other SMP or SSP. It could be some cool invention, a heavy duty redstone circuit or a massive build.

Send me an email at rolfdavidminecraft@gmail.com where you copy paste in this application form and fill in the questions, and then add a few pics of cool things you've made before.


Application

Real Name:

Minecraft Name:

Age:

Gender:

Where do you live? :
(Country – City)

How long have you been playing Minecraft? :

What kind of minecrafter are you? :

1500 subs on youtube

Okey so yesterday I hit 1500 subscribers on youtube and made this video to celebrate it!



I currantly have a few movies in stock to be uploaded, though one of them, devided into three parts, is a video of me playing a custom map. And I don't know how fun it will be to listen to 40 minutes of me trying to get through it!

Thinking of deleting them instead...

Screenies

Here are a few screen shots from the server.

This is the Love shack, if there's some shit goin' down in here there is a "door bell" to interupt it... We don't want no  tinys here.

One of our rooms turned into a farm somehow....

But I cleaned it up real good!

Server interest

It seems like there are alot of you out theere that would like to join me and my friends on a server. Now all I have to do is to earn some cash to rent me a server, any suggestions besides the adsense adds?

Here are two videos that I recorded yesterday from the temporary server we are playing on at the moment.

Yesterday

Okey so yesterday there wasn't much going on. Or, well, I always have alot of school related stuff to do but besides that I didn't do much. I played a little on the 3rd new SMP we started...

Let me explain. We have the project SMP where we have spent most of our time. But two nights ago we started a new server just cous we wanted to do something different for a change. That save went corrupt so we made another one. And when we played on that world the whole freaking server crashed on us...

So here we are on our third new world. We are all basicly crouching through the game since Esenex has become a crazy outlaw that runs around killing everyone.

And then I played around little with cannons again! last time was a disaster....

måndag 28 mars 2011

I give up!

Okey the upload fucked up.

And for those of you who doesn't know swedish... which I guess most of you can't is says:

Youtube chanel background

Hello peeps!

At the moment I am at work, but it's really slow here atm.

Today I've been trying to update my youtube chanel with a new background. It's been tricky and I am not sure it looks okey yet either since I am sitting here with my small laptop. Anyone a nice fellah here on youtube made me a background and a banner for my chanel page, I'll credit him later when I am sure everything is looking OK.

The first problem was the size of the picture. Not the size as in how many pixels it was, rather the size of the save. Apparantly The backgrounds are only allowed to be 256K?! And both me and the guy who made it thought that it could be a few times bigger then that atleast. So he made a background that was 2,5GB big, hehe.

But that didn't work, so he made a low-res version for me to try and upload and that worked. The thing is, the low-res version is still bigger then those 256..... well well.

I'll solve that later somehow when I am at home!

And oh! don't forget to watch the presenation of my fellahs that's building the thingy with me.

Presentation

I'm working on a small video presentation of everyone that's been working on the project so far.

I'll upload it as soon as I can catch the last guy.

Movie #3

So here is a short movie where we remove the last freaking stone blocks at the dig site!

Soon finished!

Woho! as you can see we are soon done with mineing out the whole freaking thing!

Rolf-David's To Do List

I got some things I got to take care of, minecraft related stuff. Or rather, stuff that is related to my minecraft videos and publications, i.e. the blog and my youtube-chanel.

#1 Get a nice video intro for my videos, preferable 8-12 seconds long, something simple that spells "Rolf-David" in a cool way.

#2 A background for the youtube-chanel, with a connected header. The background doesn't have to look in any specific way, just as long as it's in the same theme as the header which should say "Rolf-David". Also gonna use the header for the blog as well.

#3 A new avatar that I can use on the forum and such.

Dunno how to fix all this though since I suck at video editing and I got no art skills at all, hehe. Anyone feel like helping me out?

söndag 13 mars 2011

weeeell

As you might and might not have noticed there was no video yesterday, to tired after work. Perhaps later tonight.

lördag 12 mars 2011

At work.

-Hello everybody!
-Hi Rolf-David!
(Boring Simpson thingy, you know, Dr Nick)

Well well, enough with all the boring stuff. I am at work at the moment, and as you might have figured out I am really working hard... pff at this hours we got so few costumers that I can sit here with my laptop connected to my cell phone that's acting as a modem.

The Minecraft related stufff in this post is that I'lll try to make a video update of the project tonight. I don't know if I dare to let the other guys be in the video with their voices... they might just be shouting and try to ruin everything, hehe.

Back to work now! 1,5 hours left!

OaO

Before and after

Hello!

Here I got a picture from MedicAtk today that was taken in the very beginning of the project.

You can see how we had marked out the parimeter, one third of the area was covered with water (a bitch to get rid of) and a whole lotta stone!

And now, here is what it looks like just a few minutes ago, Varmkorx just sent it to me.

And as you can see, it's a big, BIG! difference!

onsdag 2 mars 2011

Here is the picture

I am in the same library as yesterday, dunno why cous it's freaking coold... but it's really nice and quiet.

Anyway, here is the picture I didn't upload yesterday. Mowlai took this one from one of the corners of the build.

Forgot the picture

Hey guys, I've just left a mineing session with the friends since it's time for me to go to sleep now.

But three others, MedicAtk, Varmkorx and Mowlai is still going strong, they are probably just glad to get rid of me, hehe. And most of them have worked more then me on the project, I think I'll blame that on all the school work I have to do. I have a deadline that is due on friday at 12:00. And I am freaking out about it, it feels like me and my partner in the project is far from done.

Anyway, when I logged in to the server today I saw two huge holes that was not there yesterday. Varmkorx and Esenex had made a "chunk bug" each. And Varmkorx and MedicAtk have made two others earlier.

Chunk bug statistics:
Varmkorx: 2
MedicAtk: 1
Esenex: 1
Mowlai: 0
RolfDavid: 0

And ofc I forgot to put the picture that we took of the work site on my other computer but I'll post that picture tomorrow, I'll try to remember to put on my laptop before I go to school.

Hard work work

At the moment I am sitting in the school library and über searching for facts about biofuels in both books and on the interwebz. At the same time I am trying to stop my stomach from making theese strange noices... It's totally freaking quiet in here and it makes this roaring sound. Like I had some injured wolf inside of me. People aint looking at me like I am wierd yet atleast, I'll hope they are to busy studiyng.

Minecraftwise I haven't done much lately. I made the tutorial of the new repeater block just after beta 1.3 went online. And after that I thought I would try and make a new bank, a improved bank. But I didn't have any iron to make the tracks and carts for it, and I don't have time to go mining for it right now since that would take alot more time.

Instead I have used that time working on the BIG project on the SMP server. Or we are not working as much as we are mineing... There is still ALOT of dirt and stone to get rid of before we can start the acual building.

This is me in school right now

onsdag 23 februari 2011

No time!

School takes up ALOT of time theese days... have a deadline coming up. No. Time. For. Minecraft... CRAP!

Beta 1.3

If you read my post yesterday you probably have understood that the Beta 1.3 patch is out!

Here a copy-paste from Notch's blog.

* Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
* Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
* Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
* Added three new half-size blocks
* Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
* Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist ” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add ”, “remove ”, “list” or “reload”
* New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
* It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
* Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
* Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
* .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!

Redstone Repeater block

Okey so today the Beta 1.3 was launched, earlier then I had expected!

And here is a tutorial video of the new redstone repeater block!

Minecraft on iPad and iPhone

I know this is yesterdays news but I couldn't post them yesterday since I am sort of babysitting my two cousins. Yesterday we went to see Djurgården beat the crap out of Frölunda in ice hockey, the final score was 5-1 to Djurgården.

On to the news!

within a year, you will be able to play minecraft on your iPhone and iPad. If you got the i-version of the game you will not get every update that will come out. Rather you will get the updates that are neccessary for yur platform.

First I saw this on the swedish gaming site www.fz.se and later on the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet made an article about it as well.

There have also been atleast one tweet about it yesterday from the Mojang crew so it is "confirmed" and official.

Working!

The server is working again!

We are currantly online and working on it!

Khaaaaan!

Hello peeps!

We might have figured out a way to get the server map back in working condition!
A friendly soul posted a comment here on the blog and told me/us how you could fix it. A friend, MedicAtk, has done the things you had to to and tried it on singelplayer. And it worked perfectly! Next step is to send the file back to the guy hosting the server and keeping out fingers crossed that it works on the SMP as well.

Set backs

We had 2 major set backs on the project yesterday.

#1 The server got a power failure which made the world save corrupt. So if we can't fix it, we have to use a backed up world that is 7 days old.

#2 One of the guys I am building with have heard rumors about someone else that already made what we are doing.

onsdag 16 februari 2011

Heya!

Haya!

Short update of the project. There isn't much new to tell you, since we are only digging at the moment, and there isn't much to explain about digging I guess. But here is a nice picture of three of my mates working hard!


And I'm also editing a short video of the dig site as we speak that I'll upload some day soon.

We could not work anything on the project yesterday since the server went down and it is not up yet as far as I know.

tisdag 15 februari 2011

Hockey!

I forgot there was Hockey on tv today that I had to watch. Derby between DIF and AIK in the Swedish Elitserien.
More updates coming tomorrow.

100.000 views on Youtube

You know what I just realized, I just reached my first 100k views on Youtube. This isn't very much compared to alot of other videos out there that get like several million views on each video. But for me, it's a milestone! and I'm proud of it!

I am also currantly uploading the looping video onto youtube. As usual something came in the way, today it was a stupid virus called System Tool that got on my laptop so I had to figure out how to get rid of that, and it took be a big part of the morning.

Also! More info about the project coming tonight! pics and perhaps a video.

Movie is made but not uploaded

Hey

Today I made the movie about the note block signal looping but I haven't upöoaded it yet. I played some HoN instead and my internet can't handle the upload speed of a HD video while playing a game... I'll upload it tomorrow morning.

And there were some progress in the project today as well, and some, I don't know if I would call it set backs, but there were some decisions that has to be made that we haven't really come to any agreement about. And cous of the greifers I can't tell you all about that either!

But here is a picture concerning one of the problems.

Another of my beautiful post-it drawings.

But as I said there were some progress as well, we've been mineing a bit, got a nice picture of that on my stationary computer, and we have also been draining a whole lake that happend to be in the way. So we have basicly filled the lake with gravel and sand (since they both fall to the bottom) and then we've dug it away.

Pictures and a small movie preview of this coming tomorrow.

måndag 14 februari 2011

New project

Hey!

I just thought I'd log on and give you all a sneak peak of my new project that I started up today. I'm not telling you exactly what it is just yet cous I know there are alot of greifers out there and I want to get a head start! hehe

Anyway, me along with 4 friends sarted working on it today. The first part is mainly clearing out an area that is big enough. Luckely, there was an area on the server where one of the guys I am working with had dug out alot of sand for some pyramids he made a few weeks back, and also a mine underneath so it's quite hollow.

The friends I'm working with are Varmkorx, MedicAtk, SNXbear and Mowlai, and I'm ofc RolfDavid

Here is a picture of MedicAtk clearing out some of the are that we are going to need. Mowlai is there to and blew up some shit with some of his spare TNT.

And since work was really slow today, I made some bad ass post-it drawings and calculations!




This project will be documentet as good as I can, with video recordings and screenshots along with too much text that you won't read.

Bad everything

Heya!

I truly suck at giving you the updates I promise you. I really though I should have time to record the movie earlier this week but as usual the school work takes longer then I think I will. If you estimate that something should take X hours to finish, multiply it by Pi and you'll get a more accurate number, hehe.

Anyway I am, I promise you, going to do the tutorial of the noteblock looping. Perhaps tonight when I get home from work, or early next week.
I am also planning an event, or rateher a competition, a spleef competition. I am going to bribe a friend to put my main save up on his server for one day so I can hold the competition there. It's going to be a ournament pool kinda this where the looser gets kicked out oof the competition and the winner get's to continiu.
And I am also planning/just started working on a new project, a BIG project along with atleast one friend on a SMP server, I sure hope no Creepers are gonna walk inside and blow it up. But more about that when I start record movies and take pictures to show you guys.

Anyway, I'm at work now so I probably should go and do some stuff now rather then sitting here with my laptop in my knee.

OaO

As always

Hehe as usual something get's in the way of me making and uploading a new video, today I had to drive my grandma to the hospital for some sort of eye sicknes that I don't know the english name of, atleast in Sweden it's called "Starr".

I'll do it tomorrow! I have the alarm set for 06:55.

And another thing! I've come up with a really cool (atleast in my opinion) idea!
Just need some time to start working on it...

onsdag 9 februari 2011

00:34

It's half past 12 at night here in Sweden and I should be asleep by now since I have to get up, not to early, but early tomorrow to keep working on the beachelour. But tomorrow morning, after I've had a few pancakes for breakfast and a cup of coffee, I'll make a short tutorial of how I made the loops for the Breaking The Law note block song. That shouldn't take to long. A few minutes planning where to run and what to say and then a few minutes recording and then a few minutes using stupid movie maker to edit it (I really need another editing tool, or perhaps not... I have no idea really how to edit stuff).

And after that it's hard work work!

Sustainable Energy Systems

Anyone knows anything about biofuels? Jatropha, Algae and such?
Damn! me neither as it turns out...

I've been working on my Bachelour exam pretty much all day, with a lunch break that included todays episode of stargate SG-1.

But tomorrow morning I'll try to do the tutorial of how my loop in breaking the law note block song works.

Here listen to this, this is how my Paranoid version should have sounded like ^^

New contest

I currantly have two ALPHA accounts in my pocession that I bought just before Minecraft went into the BETA-phase. Simpy because they were cheaper and you were promised to get all future updates for free, which you are not with a Beta account...

I bought theese so that I could give/sell them to friends of mine that sometime would like to start playing minecraft. Though it seems that all of my friends that would consider playing it already is, hehe.

Therefore I have two accounts that I have no use for, ofc I am not going to just give them away, someone has got to work a little to get it.

But I can notk figure out what kind of competition to do, the last one was a creative ingame contest where you had to build something christmas-like. So I am not going to do anything like that this time...

I could really use your ideas out there, give me a suggestion of what you think the contest should be about (possibly something you are good at yourself?)

Tired

Shit I am tired.

The Super bowl ended like 04:00 swedish time, and I had the alarm set for 09:00, puh!
And the stupid Packers won, argh.

Anyway, I am the #53 most viewed swedish chanel on youtube today ^^ always something?

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

I've been working hard today.... no not really.

Acually half my day have been sitting on my ass drinking coffee and reading my AC/DC book. And the other half have been arguing with stupid and angry costumers... if they mess with me I mess back and show them the door.

So I was a work from 10:00 to 16:00 I had working hours to 17:00 but I could leave early cous there was nothing to do. You can't complain when you get one hours salary for free now can you?

Anyway, then I went home and ate dinner with my family and my grandma, something kalled "Kalops"

And now I am here sitting in bed watching The Super Bowl at 00:50 at night (Sweden for those who don't know) soooo there haven't been any minecrafting today!

Maybe tomorrow, if school doesn't take the whole day.

lördag 5 februari 2011

what now?

OKey so now that I have finished that stupid song, which have gotten alot of possitive responese, what should I do?

I've got two ideas of my own but none of them are new things really.

#1 Make a new bank, that is safer(some kind of code lock to enter and perhaps a code to be able to call for YOUR cart) and with more slots, and also some kinda failsafe so you can't call for two carts.

#2 Make a big ass minecart station where I implement all the things I know that can be useful. destination controls, storage for minecarts, dispencers... everything

And then I have had a request from a viewer on youtube that I should make a tutorial of how I make the signal only loop once in the Breaking the Law video.

I dunno... the requested tutorial is easy to make so I'll probably do that and one of the other ideas...

Paranoid!

Song

I have finaly finished the song!

Acually I finished it like 2 hours ago but I've had a little do do inbtween finishing it and being able to edit it and upload it.

But as we speak I am uploading it from my other computer, only a few percent to go now.  I'll make a post here as soon as it is finished and include the vid here.

I want a muffin

How bad ass isn't this guy?



The thing that sucks is that he died before I got old enough to understand what a great musican he was.

If anyone can make a decent Zappa song with noteblocks I'll build a freaking statue of you!

And also, I got a huge craving for muffins.

And also, remember not to eat the Yellow snow!

söndag 30 januari 2011

Yeye as usual

Bad updating as always. Anyhow!

I've just finished all the bass tracks for the song.

And THIS is one of the coolest things I've seen in a few weeks in minecraft!

Just look at it!



Edit: NO! where's the pic =/

No Minecraft today

There have been no minecrafting today for me, school from 8-14, home and sleep until dinner at 18, I've been sick for a week so 6 hours in school while I am not fully healthy again is not that funny.

As I said earlier, I'll try to finish the song this weekend, I mean I have three days off now.

At school

I'm writing to yo from school!

I'm curratly working on my bachelor exam, going to have to give a short overhaul of it on monday morning.

But until then I'll be off duty so to say and hopefully be able to finish the song, and start working on something else! so tired of all the plings and plongs.

söndag 23 januari 2011

Sunday sunday sunday

I've been laying in bed for three straight days now. Barly even touched minecraft or a computer at all for that matter. And most of the time I've used my laptop was when I used it to watch movies while laying in bed.

But tomorrow it's the end of that, can't be at home anymore since I have to go back to school. I am going to take my bachelor exam this term. It acually started last friday, but some dumb fuck at school forgot to send in my name so I didn't find out what date I was supposed to start until tuesday... that's five freaking days after I already started for crying out loud! I am on a hunt for the man/woman responsible for that.

But as I said, tomorrow I'll take a few painkillers and head back to school for a lecture about something that I have not yet had time to find out what it is.

We have a deadline that is due on friday where we (me and my partnet on the bachelor) need to have done some sort of timeplanning and some other stuff. Hopefully that won't take to much time each day... And hopefully I will be able to finish the song I am working on in Minecraft aswell. I have laid ot all the bass tracks up until the solo of the song and about half of the guitar tracks up until the solo. So in total I've made 1/2 of the bass tracks and 1/4 of the guitar tracks.

Well now I am off to read some papers from the lectures I've missed so I'll be sort of up to date tomorrow.

OaO

torsdag 20 januari 2011

Not alot of crafting today I am afraid

Today I won't be able to craft anything really, perhaps a short while after I get home from work if I am not to tired. I'm getting off at 21:30 and I'll be home at about 22:30.

And on the side, the chancery at myc school has fucked up, so my name wasn't on the list for my bachelor exam so now I am behind schedule after only one week of school. Shit faces.

Any way, yesterday I started working on a new song with note blocks. I'm thinking of making the complete song.

onsdag 19 januari 2011

Dinner at grandmas

I am off to eat dinner and my grandma and grandpa's house along with my sister today.

But I'll be back later tonight uploading one of the three videos I got in stock.

And I am working on a new song as well.

tisdag 18 januari 2011

Breaking The Law

I did spend a few hours today making this.

Minecraft.net down

Minecraft.net has been offline bigger part of the day, Dunno why. Whe have not gotten any explaining by Notch on his twitter either... something about kinds not eating greens and that we have to be patient.

I'm guessing they don't know what the problem is either, they probably would have told us otherwise.

RS NOR Latch

So here is the RS NOR Latch tutorial, it's the simplest memory array aviable in minecraft. Use it!

måndag 17 januari 2011

My poor body!

Jeeeeesus christ (I'm not a beliver) my body is acing (is that the correct word?). I've been to my first Judo practice for ages... My plan is to take 1DAN now, I should have done that like 4-5 years ago but it never happend, I were too lazy.

Anyway!

The what ever number video about the RS NOR latch is currantly uploading, it should be ready for all of you to see withing a few minutes. Check it out! RS NOR latches is the best!

1kk sold

This is old news since a few days back, but for those of you who have missed it, Mojang and Notch have now sold over One Million(1kk) copies of Minecraft!

Let's do some fast calculations...

Let's say the first 900,000 copies that were sold were Alpha accounts which you had to pay ~10 euro to get.
900,000 * 10 = 9,000,000
That is Nine million euro.

That would then leave us with 100,000 Beta accounts sold for ~15 euro each.
100,000 * 15 = 1,500,000
That is One point five million euro.

Add those together and we see that Mojang has made over 10 million euro on Minecraft!

Number seven is here

Yesterday it was time for video number seven in my video tutorial series of the basic logic gates which you can build with redstone in Minecraft. Number seven is the XNOR-gate!

Gotta shape up with the blogin'

I'm really sucky akeeping this blog updated, I've been that way all since my birthday like a mounth ago. I'll try to change that from now on and not only update with my new videos!

First news in this new chapter!

I have finaly gotten around to buy myself a faster internet connection. At the moment I am sitting on the fastest contection I can get to the house that I am currantly living in. Though, the housing association has decited NOT to put in fiber cables for some stupid reason... instead I am stuck with theese copper wire conections. well well, it's a lot better then before!

With this new connection, I will be able to host a server, if I can get a computer that will be strong enough to host it. I have picked in a 3rd computer that is ment to act as a server. Need to clear it from all the crap that currantly is on it first though.

Who want's to join me?!

onsdag 12 januari 2011

Had missed #4

Yesterday I found out that I had missed to upload video #4 about the NOR-gate, dunno how...

But here it is!

Slow updates

Birthdays and a new video

I know three people that is celebrating their birthdays today. One is an old classmate of mine, and the other two is my father and my best friend. 

So Happy Birthday to you guys!

I am also currantly uploading a new video up on youtube. Unfortunatly I was not able to buy a better internet connection today since the store I was supposed to buy it in was closed! I'll probably try again tomorrow or the day after that.

Anyway, at the moment I am waiting for two friends to pick me up and we'll head over to RB's house since it's his B-Day, so I'll be away for a while!

2011

So it's a new year, 2011... who cares, really? I feal no different then I did yesterday.

But I like fireworks so yesterday was fun.

Tomorrow I am taking the sub into town to buy myself a new internet connection. Today I am playing on a line that isn't enough to upload HD movies on youtube or to host a Minecraft server.

So when I come back from town tomorrow I will bring in yet another computer to my room and use it to host a Minecraft server. Gonna have some friends invited and possibly holding some sort of competition for you readers to be able to come in and play with us! how about that?

Anyway, atm I am trying to get a friend to put up a MC server that I can make some havoc on!

OaO
