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.

I finally got a looting 3 sword!

I’m not really sure how often I’ll use it but its great to have, either way.

So, my internet was out most of the day so I decided to screw around on minecraft alot and this is one of the many, random things I built. Can you tell me whats wrong with it?

Status Update: Good news everyone! I made it to katherines place and am having a great time in Arizona, however I may not have a video up for another day or two.

As many of you many know, I am visiting katherine(my girlfriend) a few days before minecon so we can spend some time together on our anniversary before we go to minecon together.

However, while I made it here just fine and I have enough time to do video’s…I think i’m getting sick from either from the climate/altitude change or from all of the rude people on the plane that insisted on coughing on me…

Either way, a bit of a sore throat but I should be fine, I have my lap top and all things I need to do videos with me so you all can except brand new Tyken video’s as soon as my throat clears up a bit!

I put my playstation 3 up on ebay to raise some money for a good camera to film minecon. If any of my fans get the winning bid, I’ll be willing to sign it.

I’ll be putting my Wii up soon, too.

Good news and Bad news, everyone. I’ve been saving my money up for minecon and a camera to film it, sadly money is going to be extremely tight…So! I decided to start selling some things to help raise money for a good camera(To get the best possible footage for my fans) and a laptop, that way I can upload video’s from minecon in the same day! Plus that means the ability to record and upload video’s when ever I travel as well.

So in other words, I decided to sell off a bunch of my stuff, just so I can bring better content to you all. I’m even selling my playstation 3 and my wii, among many other things in order to pay for it.
