PixlBit

Mostly too down to really say much but I'll say this, I do like a bit of permadeath when playing Minecraft. Set the game to not regen health, hard difficulty, survival mode and don't allow yourself a respawn. The game lasts, for me, around 25 minutes to an hour before something terrible happens and I die.

I played it like that today. I survived until I found a village. I had all my stuff set up in a house and went down into this natural cave next to the house to scout the place. Then a zombie popped out of a crevice in the wall. I took care of it and then investigated further. There was a skeleton there in a corner in the dark, and I surprised it, taking its undead life. When I turned around though, two zombies came at me fast. I swung and I chopped for all I could with my wood sword. It wasn't enough. They took me down and I clicked the controls to record the video clip. If I was using voice controls I would have said, "Xbox record that.". It was an dramatic end good enough for an b-movie treatment. I wish I could put the video up here, but I don't know how. You can only see it in the community section on XBO if you're a friend of AIwithWarpDrive, my XBO handle. 

I also discovered how to focus firepower on a single small location on the map in Defense Grid 2. If you click "x" you can see where most of the damage is occuring on the path of the enemy. Just surround that spot with the approapriate towers and nothing can get through it. I wish I could increase the difficulty of the game from easy, but I want that 100 gold medals achievement and switching would reset me to zero. I hate that the game doesn't add up medals across difficulty levels. At least, that's what I've read.

Well, onto another day. I wish I could enjoy this time off a little more but the future has me somewhat distracted. At least I got some sweet furniture from my friend Mark as he remodels his apartment.

Over and out.
