Porcupine's Den

Porcupine's gaming (and other assorted stuff) blog.

The holiday season. (late, I know…)

The reason for no recent updates is because I was quite busy at the time (playing Team Fortress 2 and installing minecraft mods xD). Anyway, I downloaded and installed 2 mods (for minecraft), and theyre both brilliant. 

Fist I downloaded the Humans+ mod, which adds friendly and not-so-friendly NPCs to the game world. This mainly adds a bit of life and culture to the world, although it has a big downsidfe and a bg upside. The downside is you now have powerful daytime mobs which can spawn on the first day (very annoying). The upside is that its much easier to get certain items early on in the game because the NPCs drop them. It would be nice if the humans themselves did some more, though.

The second (and much superior, I think) mod was the Mo’ Animals mod, which many Minecraft players use, I believe. It is AWESOME. It’s so much better to see a huge, varied amount of creatures wandering across the game world, and multicolored birds nesting in a tree, which fly away when you come near. There’s also a variety of horses to tame, a block-destroying mob (ogres, I haven’t seen them in action though), and werewolves. That’s right. And they’re damn creepy, especially when one sneaks into my house when I’m not looking (!). Happened to me.

Anyway, I strongly recommended you install those mods. It’s not hard, use Risugami’s mod loader. Anyway… thanks fort reading! :D

Damn, couldn’t get a video up today. Also, LANcraft!

I tried uploading a MC video to YouTube today, but had to cancel the upload because it was taking a while and the rest of my family was complaining about the speed when it was uploading. It was going to take a whole hour… I’ll try get it up later, but I can’t make any guarantees.

In other news, I recently played Minecraft LAN with a friend for quite a while. It was AWESOME. We built a fairly large town. I’ll probably post about it soon, after we’ve done a bit more work.

So, if you ever get a chance to play LAN Minecraft, definitely do it.

This is my first blog post.

Well, hello there, intrepid viewer. This is Porcupine’s personal blog. If you hadn’t noticed.

OK, basically, this is going to be 90% about gaming, and most of that about either Team Fortress 2 or Minecraft (probs Minecraft). It’s also going to be where I post additional stuff about my videos I upload to YouTube, which I have some already done, just not uploaded. I’ll also link to cool stuff and whatever.

So, hope to see you back here sometime.

:D
