Five Nights At Freddy's

Recently, FNAF has been gaining a lot of popularity, so I decided to do something so stupid that it's sure to get a lot of attention.

That is all.

Minecraft: How to make your house kinda not bad



YAY! I can do minecraft again!



Today I will be showing you how to make a nice house in minecraft.

Firstly, look at this. You might live in this, maybe not. Either way, it's horrible and it probably smells like used gym socks.

Now, note the problems: The location, the front awning, the corners, the roof, and the balcony.

The location is easy to see. It is possible. but very hard, to pull off having higher ground near your build. Usually it gives the feeling of living in a ditch. Not nice. To fix this, you could build on flat ground, or, even better, on top of a hill. This gives an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape.

The front awning is, firstly, uneven. Usually, any feature that is not symmetrical will look strange at best and horrid at worst.  Secondly, if you look carefully, the fences supporting it are attached to a separate pillar of wood. A better plan would be to have made the awning take up the entire front of the building. Also, the fence posts making up the pillars should have been free-standing.

The corners are a simple fix. Simply replace the corners with wooden logs (I personally like spruce the best).

The roof of a house should not be flat. Period. Instead, make it peaked by using fences. Also, it can be useful to add a small overhang of one block, two at most.

Lastly, there are two problems with the balcony. The fence on it, probably to keep people from falling off, does not occupy the entire balcony. This makes it look odd and out of place. Secondly, the material it is made from is odd, considering it's location. Brick should not be used for anything past the first floor unless it is a chimney.

Coming soon is my improved version of this.

Spess EnGerS

Recently I bought a new game on steam. It's called Space Engineers, and it is all about making Spaceships. I made a couple of cool things. I chose the "Lone Survivor" starting area. It only had the basics I needed to survive and nothing more. That was OK with me, I figured I would be fine. The first few days went great. I collected ore, made parts, and basically was awesome. I soon started work on my first spaceship. She was called The Narwhal. Equipped with two drills, state of the art nuclear reactors, and a powerful gyroscope, I was quickly able to fire up my engines and get into space. I went out for a test run in the Narwhal, and I collected several hundred units of nickel. However, my storage was soon filled, so I headed back to home base.

That's when things started to go wrong.

Suddenly, an asteroid appeared in my peripheral vision. I slammed on the brakes and tried to get out of it's way, but I was already too close. I was killed on impact. I quickly respawned at my base, only to see a horrific scene. In the distance, there was the asteroid I had hit, with bits of the Narwhal still stuck in it. It had been propelled when I hit it.
Spinning.
Twisting.
Ripping through the empty space.
In the exact direction of my base.
I was killed again, with my only base in ruins.

10/10 Would space engineer again!
