Awesome. Cubed

Short Version: Computer issues and I haven’t been able to record or edit videos. Sorry!

Long Version: Took a nap a few days ago and within that one hour my computer went to hell. Some file in my registry got corrupted and I have to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows 7. I have no idea how it got corrupt since I was napping at the time but it happened. Easy fix but I’ve been trying to get all the stuff off my hard drive before I wipe it.(Such as my save files x.x)

Anyway, Should be able to continue on Monday like nothing happened.

Oh yeah, Katherine’s and Lukes (roomy and Smp guy) laptops broke as well! Luckily I still have my phone to post updates.

Long story short we got over 300 applications within 2 days! Unfortunately, we have to close the sign-ups for a bit because we’re already reaching our capacity.

However! if you didn’t get accepted or missed your chance to sign up, no worries! We’ll be reopening the sign-ups again as soon as things settle down and we figure out a better way to handle so many applications at a time.

Oh, and a special thanks to my friend and roomate, Luke!(Vishnaborg) for running and caring for the server for me, As well as the veteran players who came back and helped with the server.

I’ve been updating my twitter with details but I’ve been forgetting to update my blog so here it is.

Long story short I got my account suspended for two weeks. Apparently I have adf.ly links in two of my videos(Which I forgot about) and it seems youtube really hates that and has zero tolerance in the matter, so no only did I get my top video taken down but I also got shut down for two weeks.

It really sucks and hurt me and my channel in alot of ways but that won’t stop me from pumping out more great videos.

Plus it gave me a chance to enjoy my thanksgiving break.

So Apparently, Two of my videos have been reported a lot recently and have been taken down (lp episode 93 and real life minecraft – time to build) Because of this, I have two strikes on my account and my account has been suspended for 2 weeks. (meaning no new videos till then)

The warning I received from youtube was really vague and basically said “Check out guide lines and figure out what you did wrong.”, Which is a lot harder to do than you would think, considering the video is completely taken down so I can’t even review it or try to fix it at all.

I’m not sure why this is happening or what I can really do about it besides trying to appeal the claims. Either way, You may not see me for 2 weeks. Longer if I get a third strike.

Been doing a bit of grindy work off camera and thought some of you would love a sneak peak before the next LP

.

Noticed I was running out of enchanted tools so I did some farming. Left minecraft on all night at my blaze spawner and hit 402 Entities when I woke up. After crushing them and hitting them with a splash potion, Minecraft crashed and I came back to this level!

Also decided to pretty up the place while I was at it, here’s some before and after pics.

First Set

Second Set

Full Set (with extras)

I’ev been trying to optimize and make my laptop run better but I can’t seem to get it to run minecraft well. I get 20-30 fps while playing normally and it instantly drops down to 3-4 while recording so it becomes impossible to play.

I’ve tried everything, including closing every program besides minecraft and fraps, even tried allocating 4gb of ram to it but nothing seems to help.

I have no idea what’s wrong, considering it players skyrim just fine.

In other words, I may not be able to record minecraft videos while on my trip, I may be able to record other games..but it simply may not work at all.

So…Things have been going pretty crappy for me this month and I felt like venting some more so I decided to post the details here..

If you remember my last post about having a bad day, this relates some what.

First of all..As you all recall from one of my previous blogs. I originally ordered a pair of tritton headsets and they never came..So I canceled the order and went with razer.

After a long wait I finally get my new headset today..I was so excited, it was like Christmas! However..after setting them up and getting on mumble..I quickly learned how bad they really were..

After tons of trouble shooting..I called razer for -more- trouble shooting..only to find out that “Its defective” and told me to send it back to get a new set, they even offered next day delivery…however being a weekend, that means getting it on tuesday..the day I leave.*sigh*

Anyway…besides that, after the first phone thing with verizon, I decided to go window shopping to find the best prices and the best plan for me. Eventually I came across T-mobile, no contracts and only 30-70 dollars a month(depending on how much you wanted) and a really good smart phone for a pretty good price.

Anyway..the phone is pretty good, an Android. Samsung Dart to be exact. Its not a bad phone…however the battery life is pretty terrible..and the worse part? Its not compatible with a lot of cool apps…such as minecraft pocket edition. *sigh*

To top it all off…I’ve been really stressed, hardly been getting any sleep, and the sleep I do get hardly leaves me rested. Not only that but I’ve been really busy, both planning my trip and dealing with a bunch of real life crap, but I’ve been having creators block so its been hard to come up with any new building episodes. *sigh*

Oh..And I don’t think my laptop can record minecraft worth a damn, either.

I had a really bad day today and its barely even over yet. I figured it would help me vent to talk abotu it on my blog so here it goes.

First of all..Today I finally got a ride to go and do stuff I needed to get done, first up was a hair cut..since my hair as been getting long and messy…However, what i got was an incredibly crappy haircut..which you’ll likely see in my next vlog.

Second…I went to Verizon to finally get a good phone and a plan, instead of the crappy prepaid that I’ve had for…years.

Anyway..I was really excited, going through all the phones..most were really pricey but finally I found the Xperia! I was really excited, even though it wasn’t as good as some of the other phones.

Anyway, it was cheap, infact it was completely free if i traded in my old phone and got a 2 year plan. Either way, things were looking good..convinced my mom to do go on a family plan with me as well so we would both save money so things were looking up!…untill they did a credit check.

They wanted 400 dollar deposit from each of us -just- for the plan…there was no way both of us could come up with 400. So I asked how much it would be for just my phone…it was 100 dollars a month for the -minimal- plan…

Long story short, I didn’t get my first ever smart phone…i’m still stuck with my shtty prepaid phone…and feel terrible.

Lastly, I decided to drop my a furniture store because I’ve been sleeping on a lump futon mattress for months and I’ve been having sleep problems because of it..however the store didn’t have any twin sized beds in stock and all the other beds they had were either complete crap or overpriced.

So yeah…very crappy day so far…plus not eating all day doesn’t help, either.

Anyway, if you see me wearing a goofy hat next Vlog its because of my crappy haircut.

Hmm I’m thinking of trying to update and progress on my mod again. If there are any experienced modders out there I would love some help.

If you don’t remember which mod I’m talking about, its the Blank Block Mod! or BBM for short. I may rework the name later.

Here’s a link to the thread.
