 I took a long refreshing break from Minecraft, finally decided to formally announce my disinclination to continue map development, and now find myself getting back into playing the game. When I tried to boot up my latest attempt at the Axpack, I found that it was a bloated mess that crashed, even when I disabled most of the mods. So Bolz'tuit.... I'm making another one. Something far more compact, focused, and stable. It will be centered around Mekanism because I love it so and it worked this morning as the sole mods in the pack. So, here's the outline: The Essentials Damage Indicators Voxel Map NEI WAILA Treecapitator Fastcraft Obligatory CodechickenCore (NEI, Enderstorage) BspkrsCore (Treecap) Mantle (Natura) RadixCore (MCA) OpenModsLib (OpenBlocks) BrandonCore (Draconic Evolution) Selections from the Best Mekanism Extra Utilities Open Blocks Minecraft Comes Alive + RadixCore Pam’s Harvestcraft Cooking for Blockheads Bibliocraft Ruins Ocea

It's been 11 years since Kingdom Hearts 2. A long time to be sure. It was 3.5 years between the first game and the second, but they released Chain of Memories in between.... so I didn't mind waiting. Over the next few years they released four spin off titles, then the HD remixes/collections of previous games. I appreciated them. I am looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 3 and seem to be in the minority of those who have not lost hope. Why should I be concerned about this. It's a game! I don't need it! I'm not entitled to it...

Let me express my thoughts in the form of code: IF it is competed and released, THEN I'll be happy to play it.  ELSEIF it is cancelled, THEN I will be disappointed,  ELSE it's none of my concern until one of those happens. I've seen people getting huffy about it. Why? How is not playing this game (or any game) right now going to negatively aff

Thirteen hours and fourty-eight minutes: the amount of time I wasted on Goat Simulator. Did I get my moneys worth? I don't remember how much it was at the time I purchased it, but if it was $5 I paid too much. This is a dumb game, and yes, I know the Steam page even says so. So forget about Mad Max. My new gaming rubric is to overshadow Goat Simulator. This... might be more of a challenge than my previous one. Speaking of, though Half Life 2 has just eked past DCUO and Starbound muscled in, pushing Batkam Arkham Origins out of the ranking, that looks largely the same. Most of the games 13 hours and below are ones that I've completed one playthrough (Tom Braider), or multiple playthroughs but is a shorter game (Portal, American Nightmare). I know it looks bad for a Fallout fan to have logged so few hours into FO2, but that's just on Steam, mind you. The actual number of playthoughs is like 6+. Crayon physics and Shoppe Keep are larks that I didn't get all t
