DISREGARD MY PREVIOUS POST, I SUCK DICKS.


My face
Good news everyone! It turns out I made a backup of The Rise not too long ago and tossed it into the depths of my external hard drive. Somehow I completely forgot about it, dunno how. Anyways, I decided to take a look at it and to my surprise and relief it's relatively up to date. The only things missing are the farms I was using to produce reeds (I need bookcases, bookcases everywhere) and a badly planned apartment complex. All together I think I only lost maybe three hours of work, and I've had worse things happen in the many games I've played throughout my life. I'm just glad that everything went better than expected.

RIP "The Rise" (for now, maybe)

Woke up early this morning shortly after 4 am. My sleep schedule is pretty much shot to hell now, partially because of my bizarre work schedule, the concept of work/life balance seems to be unheard of at Safeway.

With that aside, lets move on to the meat of this post.

A quick "OH GOD WHAT" update before I get some sleep.

Did a bit of f5ing on /m/ before bed and I found this:

Star Driver

So I just watched the first episode of Star Driver and I gotta say, it's pretty good. Better than I expected it to be.
Galactic Pretty Boy
Well I have to admit, I was hoping that there would be more mecha action. Instead, most of the pilot episode is just your typical anime school life deal, with all but about three to four minutes of mecha. The animation during the fight is pretty good though. Ah well, it's only the first episode out of twenty five, so I'm sure there will be plenty of fabulous mecha fighting.
DAT TAUBURN
Currently, the only subs out are [gg]'s, which surprisingly aren't too bad this time around, but expect a small dose of FABULOUS every so often. Of course, given the nature of subgroups, there'll be more groups picking this up. So if you absolutely hate [gg] and you want to watch this then you'll probably only have to wait a few days.

Final line: Since this series just started, I can't really form much of an opinion just yet. But I'd certainly say that it's worth a try. If you like it, great. If not, great. Opinions, etc.

Some minecraft screenshots

Here's a few screenshots of what I've built on my current Minecraft map so far:
A bridge going across the ice cave.

Fortress Schizophrenia

The entrance to base I've dug into the side of the huge cliff, I've come to refer to it as "The Rise".

Over 3900 hours in gimp.

Some sort of lounge area.
