Off Topic / My Dad is in hospital. :c

« on: December 03, 2011, 11:51:29 AM »

I had a phone call about an hour ago telling me my Dad's in hospital, he had a serious heart attack and is in intensive care, I can't visit him for 24 hours at least and I really hope he'll be okay, my mum and dad divorced when I was very young, yet he still came every weekend without fail, he's a very caring person and I hope he'll be okay, coping with this situation is hard, what do you suggest?

Off Topic / Building a computer, what parts to get?

« on: August 02, 2011, 09:35:42 AM »

I'm wanting to build a decent-enough gaming computer, my budget is £500 which is around $810. However i need to buy parts from a site which delivers to the UK and not just the US.
The things I'm wanting at least;
64 Bit, Quad Core
4 Gigs of Ram
A graphics card, doesn't need to be too high end, just to run games decently.
I'm aiming to run games like Just Cause 2, Black Ops at high settings if possible.
If anyone can help me with this I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Games / Oblivion Controls problem - PC

« on: June 19, 2011, 07:40:32 AM »

I have bought the GOTY Deluxe edition of Oblivion on steam, it plays fine for a few minutes and then my mouse and keyboard cannot control it, I can't move my mouse around or press any keyboard buttons however the game still runs like normal, I have tried editing the .ini file however this does not work.
Is there any solution to this?, I really want to play the game without saving every few minutes and then having to close it and open it again, to load the save to play it for a few more minutes D:

Games / Alex's Minecraft Server - Mods - Bukkit update, many bugs fixed!

« on: June 10, 2011, 02:14:41 AM »

Every now and again I host my Minecraft server through hamachi for everyone to go on and have fun, since all of the server's mods are now working and are updated for 1.6.6, iv'e decided to open it up for everyone on the Blockland forums!

Things about the server;
*The maximum amount of players is 7, this was increased due to people wanting to join.
*PVP will be enabled for the time being
*You may use "cheats" such as x-ray or flying for construction, NOT for griefing.
*The view distance is around the value of 5 for now until people may want it changing.
*You should spawn around some paths, or at least close by, these lead to different areas like the sea and to housing players make.
*I'm going to be needing OP's who can be responsible and deal with any griefers, just request to be one on the server.
*TNT cannot break blocks when exploded but can damage players, the server announces if you place TNT or attempt to set it off. This goes with lava as well.


The Server uses Bukkit and includes the following plugins;
*World Edit         -Helps create huge buildings quickly.
*Craftbook          -Create all sorts of contraptions like bridges.
*Essentials          -Welcome messages, mail, jail, warps and other options.
*MCmmo             -Different skills, gain exp and have level up's
*Vampires               -Like the name says, become a vampire with an alter, burn in sunlight ect.
*Heroic Death     -Informs people how you died with a random chance of quotes.[/center]
*World Guard     -Helps keep your buildings safe.

Games / From Dust

« on: March 23, 2011, 07:46:40 PM »

From Dust

Description
"From Dust is a sandbox simulation video game designed by Eric Chahi that is currently in development. It was announced at E3 2010 with the working title Project Dust and later it received its final name. It will be released exclusively via digital distributors PSN, XBLA and Steam on the PC somewhere around 2011"

You can literally shape the world as you see fit, you can drag entities like sand for example and place it anywhere, vegetation also can grow and spread.
The game's liquid physics also seems very impressive, collapsing an island will cause the ocean to wash over it, raising will cause the water to flow downwards, back into the ocean.

So far the goal is apparently to save your people who seem to be the tribes around the island from the disasters nature causes.

Oh yes, earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunami's are all possible.

Multiplayer?

The game may possibly have multi-player but it is not confirmed.

"For the first release, it will be a solo experience," Chahi told us, explaining that, "We plan to have a major release where we can enhance the experience by adding an editor and a multiplayer mode, if the success is there."
