Vidjagame Thing the First: You may or may not be interested in the new Let’s Play series: Chocobo Racing. (But if you’re not interested, it’s probably because you hate fun.)
Vidjagame Thing the Second: I want a version of Happy Wheels that isn’t so overrun with 13-year-olds executing basement torture fantasies. The cheap thrill of the game is very appealing, so the acres of user-created levels with names like “YOU WILL NOT BEAT THIS” and “LOLOL MURDER U PLZ RATE 5” are fine for a while, but there is a deeper sort of enjoyment to be had here, if only someone would seize it. Jesus, I am complaining about the level of depth in Happy Wheels. New low, man.
Vidjagame Thing the Third: I’m back on an all-Minecraft, all-the-time kick. 1.8 added a bunch of new features, and I’ve been taking this time getting used to things like the hunger meter and chargeable bow attacks. I think my favorite aspect of 1.8 is the more varied level generation, though. Feast your eyes on this:
That enormous dark cliff face and mountaintop lake would be the perfect setting for a home base, if I hadn’t discovered them on our soon-to-be-wiped SMP server. D’oh.
holy crap, is that mod showing hamburgers for your hunger meter?
Minecraft is very much like real life in that regard.
So I opened up Happy Wheels, picked the guy in the mine cart, entered the first level on the list (“Pokemon Gym”), figured out the controls (somewhat) and fell over, then got struck by a lightning bolt.
My man was in about twenty bloody pieces.
I left for breakfast in tears.
Yeah, that sounds about right!
… I did the same darn thing, must of been not an hour after the post went live… sad times indeed!
Since I’m still stuck waiting on Eldpack to update to 1.8, which texture pack would this be, good sir?
