the only thing that managed to show on that page

lulz :D

What the heck? your comp really screwed it up. I'll post some pics in a bit. Here's a sneak preview:

GhostOfBetaTapes · July 05, 2008, 12:00:40 PM

Okay, rather small update!

finally got some pics of the updated house!

So, here's a pic of a stained glass window. It's not done yet, but I'm going to put the initials for the clan I eventually get into there.

an '8' stained glass window on an arch above where a gate used to be. It isn't that good a picture.

Please rate X/10 :D along with the rest of the house.
...And yes, I am using a 15-inch MacBook pro with 2.2GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT. Bones' titanic hardly puts a dent in the processor. :D

I am also in firefox, and it works fine. It's a normal webpage, I don't know what the problem is...

That said, like everyone else has said: You've got potential, but this build doesn't quite cut it. Get a few more builds under your belt, work on your skill a little bit, and you could probably make it. Consider doing builds a little less linear, with different elevations. Try building something big and cool on the slopes, it's a good exercise.

Thanks! I'll get to work!
though I have made plenty of things in slopes in my Demo month.

New pic! :D
This is a preview of my new evil temple O' Doom, but ImageShack was being an @$% so I had to cut down on size. Anyway, here it is:

Facechild · July 05, 2008, 06:20:23 PM

No.
Just no.
Its made of 1x1 bricks.

GhostOfBetaTapes · July 05, 2008, 06:28:02 PM

i'm cutting down on the size. So just wait a few minutes...

Lavish · July 05, 2008, 06:33:35 PM

Answer: No
Why?: Because there is too much spam in the buildings such as 1x16 to cover the roof, and what face said using only 1x1 and 5x1 bricks to make the build appear sloppy. Work on using as less bricks as you can such as instead of using 5x1 bricks, use 5x12 and instead of using 1x1 bricks, try using 1x10+ bricks.

Other News: Like everyone else in USSR, you do have potiental, keep it up.

Anti-Cop · July 05, 2008, 06:35:14 PM

No on both counts.

GhostOfBetaTapes · July 05, 2008, 07:34:56 PM

Okay, then... I'll show the efforts of optimization... Not quite done, yet, though...
This pic is on the outside, the first was inside.

EDIT: Fully optimized!

Is it better?

Ronin · July 06, 2008, 03:49:28 PM

Nope.

GhostOfBetaTapes · July 06, 2008, 05:42:58 PM

lol XD It's the stained glass, isn't it?

dUMBELLS · July 07, 2008, 02:51:10 PM

Oh yeah I bet it is, I mean I'm totally not ignoring everything Facechild and Lavish just said.

Killhammer · July 08, 2008, 10:20:45 AM

Why are most new members compelled to use only 1x1 bricks. is this some sort of blockland wide conspiracy?
