    What was your first Minecraft home like?

    I built a creeper proof bunker underground, then built my kingdom around it. Though it's less a kingdom and more a giant estate but since then I've moved onto my new world where I'm constructing a proper society.

    Dear Escapist: are you fucking serious!?

    Perhaps youtube could serve as an alternate source for trailers?

    Australia's Internet Filter Switches On In July

    And thus we are one step closer to our glorious People's Republic of Australia! /sarcasm In all seriousness, people are going to hack their way right around this fairly quickly aren't they?

    Gun owners, What do you have?

    Hehe, I see what you did there. In terms of Nerf, I own an Alpha Trooper, Strikefire and Maverick. As for actual firearms, I'm currently underage, and am planning to obtain a license upon my eighteenth birthday. My dad, uncles and grandfather used to use M1 Carbines in their time in the...

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    I love your enthusiasm, it's a group effort man, like hell I'll be the one. But I'll definitely try to contribute. Although I'm very sorry that we're only human, and that we're imperfect, and that in your eyes we've doomed ourselves, I'm very sorry I want to make a difference even if to you it's...

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    Well, that was a very productive discussion. Have fun believing in this plane's doom man, I'll be busy trying to do something, I might just be deluding myself, but I ain't gonna stand by and let our children say to me; "You allowed this to happen! Why didn't you try to make a difference?! Now we...

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    I simply made a suggestion man, I'm not a military expert or former serviceman, nor do I claim to have any real knowledge of war. And of course we were rewarded with death, but I think the troops knew that, that's why they tried to fight, to alleviate that feeling of helplessness, and perhaps...

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    Indeed their backyard is a warzone, perhaps the US should pull out? Or try to send in some more more 'considerate' soliders. The relevance is that, even in the face of hopelessness, they still locked horns with their enemy while trying to minimize any potential civilian casualties. They still...

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    You're a cheerful lad aren't you? While I can't deny the world is in the shitter, doesn't mean I can't do anything about, just another person on the street picking up trash, or one more guy speaking out against bad decisions made by large forces, can help make some difference. In my book, it's...

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    Of course, one human being can barely change his friend's mind about a particular brand of beer, none the less change the whole damned world. But, the collective grows stronger with the increasing sum of its parts, I say.

    Anywhere between handing out a few dollars to a charity collector, to being a volunteer within the thick of it, handing out medicine and other supplies, to being the one organizing these efforts yourself, if you wish to go that far.

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    My apologies, I can't exactly figure out everything from an avatar and a couple of posts. I hope we can agree that while a good lot of the world is in tatters, we can help.

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    If that's the case, why not pick yourself up off your bed of darkness and suffering in the world, and try to help out a bit? Maybe some donations, or a bit of charity work or volunteering(if possible). Not exactly saving the world, but it's getting there.

    5 reasons life actually does get better (and the world isnt that bad)

    I wouldn't say MOST people, I imagine a fucking lot do, but certainly not MOST. My grandfather for example, he was piss poor after the Communists invaded South Viet Nam and took away all his farming land, but he still lived a happy life looking after my mother, aunts and uncles, telling them...

    The Most Immoral Thing You've Done in a Video Game

    In Rise of Nations, I had risen to the absolute top in a skirmish, the only nations were me(Korea), my tiny ally the Chinese, and Japan. I invaded Japan, thousands of casualties on both sides, even when they begged for mercy I pressed on, and eventually the Siege of Kyoto came to abrupt end when...
