National treasure/Uncharted
The closest things to movie traps would be Egyptian traps. However, they were disabled/activated by previous treasure hunters. The problem with clues is, you left looters to find out where your crap is. Burial sites had no written clues, as the religious folks taking care of it would know.

People who READ brony/anti-brony arguments. No wait. People who complain that they read brony/anti-brony arguments. Why not. People who argue over MLP.

Creeps always return home. :thumbup: I found a ravine stretching from a little harbor next to my house to gold/lapi lulzi level. From the bottom you can see a huge waterfall from the harbor flowing down the rocks and edges. I will post a pic up later, when I'm down there again. Also, is it just this ravine, or is the area around ravines hollow? Hollow as in open spaces separated by a thin layer of stone or gravel.

Perhaps check other DMVs in the area? Driving 20-30 miles for an license is worth it, in my opinion.

Today...
You mean you didn't do that? Stores often don't keep their coolers at the proper temperatures, nor do the refrigerated trucks that bring them in, so you'll frequently find that perishables like that spoil before their expiration date. I honestly never had a problem, even drank some AFTER the expiration. But I was hungry (cereal) and stupid, so I drank it.

is gaming going downhill or am I growing up?
Yes. Costs too much, companies are milking the crap out of them, and single player campaigns suck nowadays. And this is also true. CoD: Black Ops is a very good example of this. I do however like to think there are a good deal of companies that don't do this though. But, with the concept of DLC being born, gaming overall has changed forever I think. Now it's just whether the company overdoes it (like Treyarch) or are partially fair with it (Not Capcom in general, but Street Fighter 4 is actually relatively fair). I'm sure there are other examples of fair and unfair DLC milking, but those are just 2 games I personally own. Fair would be if it actually adds great new features, such as the Fallout New Vegas DLCs (but not at those prices). Unfair would be like map-packs, which should of been included with vanilla. Adding them in free DLCs would be the next fair thing. Either way, if kids can beg their parents to buy them this crap, companies are going to respond by raising the price on DLCs and games themselves. The ones to blame here are the "gamers": people who buy buy buy and don't really give a damn about it. My friends' little brother, for instance, asks his parents to buy all the special edition crap, DLCs, strategy guides, etc., and for what? The story and artistic elements of a game completely bypasses him and all he ever talks about is game mechanics and achievements, rating them as "totally awesome" or "sucks". It's pretty much the same as people judge/analyze an entire movie on it's acting cast. Directors or writers? Nope. Story, concepts, teachings? Even less.

Yes. Costs too much, companies are milking the crap out of them, and single player campaigns suck nowadays. The most important feature in games I look at are replay value. Only a few single player games can do that for me now. Most linar-storyline RPG type ones end too quickly.

Is it me, or is land surface generation bland? It usually goes like this: ------^^^^^^-------^^^------^------^^^---------______ Plains, mountains, plains, mountain, plains, ocean... Meh, anyway they released a second update to the pre-release, fixing some bugs and the dreaded mineshaft spam.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
I think so. It's like saying, "If I was in the right place at the right time, I would shoot Hitler." You can say it, but it'll probably be a hell of a lot harder if you were actually there, pointing the gun at the man. I'm not saying you wouldn't do it. But the psychological battle would be intense. :P Thinking how I'm gonna get out of there would be intense. The moment I fire a shot, the entire SS will be on my ass. No, I'll only shoot if the time traveling device I used to bring me here can send me back within five seconds. :razz: As for killing someone, I think I could with a gun. Just, bam, one shot over. I can't say if I were to stab him to death, with all the time and the screaming and whatnot. But, I suppose if he really made me mad I could...

Great question. For sure it's not going to be the 12th, as previously stated. Perhaps next week? My two complaints of this 1.8 are so: 1) Mineshafts spawn way too much. 2) You shouldn't spawn in an ocean biome. :wall: (but this is very minor :razz:)

What are your thoughts on...
I thought this was a joke thread, but I figured if three regulars and OP has 2k+ posts it has some merit. I, personally, never heard of it. I, too, am okay with it because I can control my emotions if we break up (reading UrbanDictionary, which says that's the major problem).

Renters who don't allow pets. I have to pay like 200 bucks or something to even allow a single pet, then it's some sort of monthly fee. :angry:

The Financial Mess
Can't quite see the difference here. I was pretty sure that both declined over quite a long period of time, rather than as suddenly as say Nazi Germany, though I must be wrong. Or is the connection that the Roman Empire ultimately fell violently, and the British rather peacefully (by in large). The latter. The fall of Rome sent Italy into a mess of fighting warlords and the lands of Western Europe into the Dark Ages. The nation of Rome became non-existent, if you don't count the Byzantines...which wasn't as powerful as the old Rome. Compare this to Britain where it lost superpower status, yet it had influential power. It wasn't split in two nor was the homeland a scourge of in-fighting.

How far would you go in defence of a loved one/family?
My sister vs. my friend? My friend. He doesn't have to be right, neither. My sister is an idiot anyways. As for killing bulgars? I would, but living in hippy California owning a gun and not getting charged with a gun fire is going to be too much of a hassle, so I'll just beat the crap out of the guy. If I can, of course.

Terrorists will go blow trains, boats, and cars up. Planes are too hard let me tell you. One day, only white Christians can drive a car at 16. Everyone else will have to wait until they're 21 and pass twenty different patriotic, legal, and driving tests.

Oh? Well when my hunger bar was full, holding down right click wouldn't work. Thanks for the link for the fence gate, you would think there would be an extra section in the normal fence page for it... Is it possible to convert a pre 1.8 world into a creative world?

Hold the right mouse button. Oh no, I already fell for that. :razz: I've been reading and it seems food doesn't heal you, hence why I couldn't eat the food: your health recovers naturally over time and is only used for hunger. I've already read that milk is a cure to posion? Any confirmation? ps. How do you build a fence gate??? :mellow:
