On A Rail – Minecraft Achievement

Here I am trying to earn the Minecraft Achievement called “On A Rail”, where you must travel by minecart at least 1 km from where you started. Using all my reserves of iron to make minetracks, and raiding all the abandoned mineshafts that I could find to collect more tracks. The track has to be at least one thousand blocks long. I start with momentum from riding down a large ramp, then rely on getting a boost from gold powered rails along the way.

Path Of Exile by Grinding Gear Games

I was fortunate enough to be randomly selected to be in the closed beta test for this new computer game called Path of Exile by Grinding Gear Games. You can play a Marauder, Witch, Ranger, Templar, Shadow, or Duelist character. Players who love the Blizzard North game Diablo 2 will be familiar with the flow of game play. I highly recommend this new game to Diablo players! Wait for the open beta coming in the next few months, or watch this video to the end to see how you can download and play right now.

Full support available for Windows computers, and you can also play on Linux or Mac using the WINE Windows compatibility layer. Fight hordes of undead monsters on the mysterious cursed island of Wraeclast using magic spells, sword and sheild, two handed axe, or claw and traps. Characters are customizable so you play the game any way you want to.

The Diablo Barbarian is called Maurauder, and the Sorceress is called a Witch. If you like playing an Assassin, try the Shadow character. The Templar is kind of like a Paladin, but not really. There’s no real Necromancer player, but a Witch can summon minions. Of course the Ranger is the closest thing to an Amazon in Diablo2.

How to Make Charcoal in Minecraft

This is mostly a test of my computer’s performance in recording gameplay using gtk-recordmydesktop in linux, with a lower screen resolution. Normally I have 1920×1200 pixel display resolution, but for this video I temporarily changed it in NVidia settings to 1152×864 to see if the lower resolution would result in less screen lag.

To make torches without coal, just chop down a tree, use the wood to make a pickaxe, then get enough cobblestone to make a furnace. Then burn wooden planks to cook wood logs to make charcoal.

Thoughts on the New YouTube Homepage

Two things are missing from the new homepage on YouTube.
1. A setting that lets me see just videos in the center column instead of all activity.
2. A signal on the home page that I have unread comments or messages.

Other than that it’s nice. I like the way it guides you to new content that you may not have seen before.

My Home Page is Different

This new YouTube home page is on my screen now and I am wondering how to customize it. Is there a way to display more than six new videos in the center column?
