Hardcore Mode: The Desert

So that temple I found the other day was definitely worth exploring...

And yes, I did manage to explore off the edge of the map I had crafted. I didn't even realize it and ended up quite lost. Normally this isn't a huge deal, you can wander about until you find your way home. But on hardcore mode I started to get... paranoid. That in itself is a comic for another day. 

Raboci

She is quite the linguist, my girlfriend is. 

Minecraft: Hardcore Mode

I've been playing a bit of Minecraft lately, and I found that since the last time I had played, they'd added a new Hardcore mode to the game. It's different from the normal survival mode in that you can't change the difficulty at all and upon your death the entire world is deleted. Forever.

So, the masochist in me decided to start a Hardcore world and see how far I could get. The results...

I'm currently on my third go, and I've gotten much further this time. I've got a little farm going with some chickens and wheat to avoid travelling far for food. Have set up a little fortress outside my mine to shoot monsters from relative safety, and always travel with a map in tow. I'm currently dividing time between searching for diamonds and finding a village, so I can try out the new trading system.

Home sweet home. 

On my last exploratory venture I found this right before I had to go to work.

Ruddy mysterious.

Apparently, it's a Desert Temple, and although part of me wanted to explore it straight away the new careful part of my brain that has developed thanks to Hardcore mode made me stop and look it up. A good thing too, because there's a TNT trap in there that would have blown me up if I hadn't been careful. Although, that would have made for an excellent comic. 

On The Border

I got Nakita to play Borderlands this weekend. Here's how that went: 

Also, it was my birthday last week, I am now 23 years old. Yes, I'm getting older. However, I am extremely lucky to have wonderful friends who got me very very drunk on my birthday and an amazing and beautiful girlfriend who carried me home and cooked an amazing dinner for everyone that night. Also, she made this kickass Pokeball cake. I mean, look at this thing: 

And it was deliciously super effective.

I think this is going to be a great year.

Friday Night Drawin's

Stuff I been draw today. That is all. 

Crusade of the Guardian

One my favorite games when I was little, was a game called Guardians Crusade on the Playstation. It was a super simple RPG, turn based combat, bright colors, a Tamagotchi/Pokemon-like pet and collectibles galore. So, I did some fanart for it, years ago. And then some more a couple years later. 

This and Wild Arms were the games that made me love RPGs. Speaking of Wild Arms... there's a game I haven't done any fanart for a while now...

Goblin Drake Slayer

The few, the elite. The slayers of Drakes.
