That feel when a soldier goes to attack you while you're eating your sammich and he blasts you in the air so you can minigun him.

That feel when you start taunting with the phlog and an enemy pyro airblasts you

If you haven't been able to get an Eon Ticket via StreetPass yet, Nintendo will be providing a serial code to download one starting this Friday

For those of you unaware, the Eon Ticket allows you to capture the Lati (Latias or Latios) not native to your game

More details as they're revealed

If you want vanilla but with some extra i would say better than wolves, but i havent been keeping track of anything about it for a while so i dont even know if its updated at all
also unless somethings changed its probably still incompatible with other mods

Wow, BTWM was the first mod I ever used, I can't believe that it's not only still around but has kept so many of the components I came to know

I mean for real I was using it around the time the Nether was added, back when certain knowledge was low and I had a secure area specially built to contain Ghasts because the rumor was they could spawn from portals

things that will add more fun to the vanilla minecaft but don't cross the line of ridiculousness, i.e. nonsensical/silly mobs and items.

OpenBlocks and Extra Utilities add a lot of things like that, though some parts of EU might be a little over the top

Bibliocraft, Carpenter's Blocks, and Chisel add some nice blocks for building and decorating that blend in well with vanilla

i'm hosting a server with a couple of friends, can anyone recommend some mods for me to get for the server, and tell me how to install them?

Depends on what kind of mods you want

Industrial? Magic? Little things?

Been playing some modded stuff now that I'm running on a 64 bit system with plenty of RAM

I've had a love affair with Tinkers' Construct for a long time and a few mod packs have introduced me to one of its best friends, Iguana's Tinker Tweaks, which does a lot of really great stuff to the mod including

- Disabling vanilla tools: can be crafted in case they're needed for other mods but won't mine anything, forcing you to use TC
- Material restrictions: certain things can't be used to make certain parts anymore, stone parts can't be used in tools at all
- Tool experience: using a tool for its intended purpose levels it up and adds random modifiers (like haste and luck)
- Pickaxe boost: pickaxes start a mining level lower and need to be used until they reach full potential (can also be augmented with a mob head or disabled in the config entirely)
- Part replacements: any fully repaired tool can have any part swapped out, letting you save your tool experience and minimizing wasted material
- Slower progression: takes more than a measly 15 minutes to get iron tools, there are many more mining tiers and each one requires a tool head made of the previous material to gather

There's a lot of other little things too including helpful tooltips, a clay bucket for that period between having a smeltery but being unable to mine iron, repairing tools in the crafting window, and requiring you to craft gravel into flint

I gave my Spy a makeover and formed a new relationship with the Kunai, as well as improving my L'Etranger's description

On one hand the Kunai lets you do things like this:



even if one or two people notice you, but on the other if anyone sneezes in your general direction before you get the first stab you die and I am really good at getting hit by things that weren't aiming at me

Post your Spies

Unfortunately my 3DS has officially reached the point where my SD card is full and I don't want to delete anything else so I'll have to wait on Shuffle, whether it's good or not

I would say Valve needs to do something about these phishing bots considering I get added by 3 of them every time I list a trade and at least once a week otherwise, but I guess they already have in the form of requiring email confirmation on every single trade and trade offer

I'm pretty sure there's a way to disable it but I'm honestly afraid of being that guy who loses all his stuff because he disabled the security measures

I've complained a lot (read: probably twice) about TF2 Outpost's lack of Killstreak Kit support: you can't search for specific ones, looking for a Kit requires you to search for the Kit type and then sift through thousands of trades looking for the little icon that corresponds to the weapon you want it on (not to mention trades are being bumped while you're looking and you have to hope it's a color or effect you want if you finally find one), but yesterday I played some rounds with the admin of a relatively new site called killstreaks.tf (his weapon had the name of his site and the description was "You're dead anyway, might as well check it out...", very clever)

It's pretty much just another automated trading site but with Killstreak Kits instead of other stuff, all the Kits are a flat price depending on the weapon and you can easily search what they've got in stock (unfortunately it's not much since they just went public in September and don't have a staggering number of users)

Killstreakified my Righteous Bison thanks to them, 10/10 would sell unneeded Killstreak Kits to if I actually played MvM

I was looking around and I think the reason the Point and Shoot is so expensive now is because some famous YouTuber called "Muselk" wears it

Kind of like how ster was at least partially responsible for the Kringle Collection being so pricey

On a related note, I now have a new load of videos to watch, he seems like a cool guy

Does anybody still use this mod?

Meat Fortress 2

That's a little too much clutter for me
