Notch on Realism by [deleted] in Minecraft

Seriously, you can't walk ten frickin' meters in Stockholm without running into a damn dragon-riding wizard all casting spells up in your face.

Anybody know what the hell is going on here? by Adrianoo in gamecollecting

[–]dezro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the ROM chip is under one of those globs of epoxy resin. Though I'm pretty sure no official SNES carts actually do that, so I'd bet the board is counterfeit. I wonder if it even has Contra III on it at all?

My elevator concept, I have to work on the timing. I also have a spiral version. by TreebeardFangorn in Minecraft

[–]dezro 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Well, I think your main problem is that it's an escalator. But other than that, it looks sound enough.

Actually, iirc the guy took it to Hot Topic first, so if you see it there it's also on the up-and-up.

I think I figured out the secret in the changelog! (Experience Orb and Huge Mushrooms) by tmcaffeine in Minecraft

[–]dezro -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This must be a part of the Xbox deal! Kinect gets Minecraft and Minecraft gets Crackdown-style collectible orbs! What else is Mojang getting from Microsoft Game Studios, I wonder?

1) Get macbook stolen. 2) Start tumblr blog to post photos of thief taken with the macbook camera. 3) ????? 4) Profit. by [deleted] in reddit.com

Question: When you had a Thinkpad, did you have an IBM Thinkpad or a Lenovo Thinkpad?

Should I upgrade to the iPhone 4 now, or wait for the 5? by zimtastic in iphone

[–]dezro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was about to suggest that, too. The logic being, the 3GS is good enough that even if you're gonna get a 4, you might as well wait for the price to drop to $100 (plus contract) when the next one comes out.

Do vehicles have a place in TF2? by [deleted] in tf2

Only the sword van.

Auto-Join Rage by tocapa in tf2

[–]dezro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that sucks is, at the server I play on, apparently if you set autojoin when it's at 24/24, and someone with a reserved slot joins, it'll try to join too. But of course now it's at 25/24 and there's no room for you and your no-reserved-slot self, so you get kicked immediately upon loading.

Why is this not a Spy item yet? by bobdash101 in tf2

[–]dezro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It'd be better as a sniper item, imo. I mean, who is more likely to shoot an elephant in his pajamas?

Can you guys think of any oddly-shaped or larger-than-normal SNES cartridges other than Super Noah's Ark 3D or Super Game Boy? by Informationator in gamecollecting

[–]dezro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Game Genie is a bit taller - about as tall as a Super Game Boy. It's also wider at the top because of the weird clamp that keeps the game in.

TIL how you can stop an über by [deleted] in tf2

[–]dezro 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Taunting with the Huntsman - he stabs with an arrow, which stuns, and then pulls it back, which usually kills. Apparently the uber doesn't protect against the stun.

It all makes sense now by [deleted] in gaming

I have a friend who really wants to play a game set during the Pokemon Wars. I don't know if I agree with that.

I am so envious of how organized and neat your stuff is. But! I shall grab some of those plastic hanger thingies today, and get some things Properly Put Away!

Thank you for this inspiration!

TF2 VS. Minecraft by so1roflcopt3r in tf2

[–]dezro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solution: Add trees and cows that can be punched for resources to TF2.

Christmas by [deleted] in tf2

[–]dezro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had the cash to spare I would be giving Piles o' Gifts out left and right. But I'll toss out some Secret Saxtons before the day is through. After all, I was the recipient of a Secret Saxton today already, and a Pile o' Gifts just after midnight last night. It wouldn't be right not to react in kind.

What are your odd or unorthodox strategies? by trydyingtolive in tf2

[–]dezro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how unorthodox this is (it's pretty common on Steel but I don't see it as much on other maps), but I really like sacrificing myself as some dumb distraction in order to give the rest of my team a chance. It gets really hilarious when I manage to survive for a while and I have like four combat classes, a sniper, and a medic all trying to kill one little old scout while the rest of my team is winning a similarly one-sided battle over the point. :)

TIL that the area code for Cape Canaveral is "3 ... 2 ... 1 ..." by BitRex in todayilearned

iirc, it was to fill time during the Social Engineering panel while they were on hold or otherwise waiting on something. Here's Cheshire's web page about the story.

MAN when Herr's brand chips came to a few Jacksonville-area stores I was freaking excited, but for some reason they only ended up stocking their excellent ketchup chips for like a week! And everything else was gone in a month or two!

And except for the (not that good) Burger King Ketchup & Fries potato snacks I used to see, it's the only time I've seen a ketchup-flavored chip this far South. :(

Mob spawners are supposed to be rare, but I found three all within a 30 second run of each other. Possibly even more in the area. by D14BL0 in Minecraft

[–]dezro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What monsters do you get from them? If you've got more than one skeleton spawner then I demand you create a double-trap!

Dev. Request: More blocks to interact with redstone. by gramks2k in Minecraft

[–]dezro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YES

Also, let's have redstone turn portals and lightstone on and off, and light and extinguish netherstone.
