Snivy, commonly referred to as Smugleaf because of how smug it looks. Funny thing, mine has a modest nature.

«Civilization 5 Achievement»
Time to stop playing Civilization 5. I have officially won. That's it. Game over. There can be no win greater than what I have achieved: the "My Little Pony" achievement. I'm hesitant to play because if I do, I may get another achievement and "My Little Pony" will no longer show as my most recent. Yes, it's that awesome.
It's actually an easy achievement to get. While playing as Russia, research horseback riding before any other civilization... But it's My Little Pony. And that makes it awesome.

«Up at all Hours»
I like it when I can really get into a game. This time it's Civilization V. However, it has a few side-effects. First one is late blog posts. Second is a totally screwy sleep "schedule".
The day I got it I stayed up all night, took a nap around 3 PM the next day, then stayed up until 3:30 AM that night. Although from what I normally do, 3:30 AM was going to bed early. How long am I going to stay up tonight? Only time will tell.

«Turn 2 Barbarians»
I bought Civilization V, I wanted to play a different type of game than TF2 or Minecraft. So far I like it, but I've had to restart several times because I didn't realize important concepts of the game, and it screwed me over later.
One time I failed on the second turn on easy mode. Barbarians came and killed my settlers before I could make a city.

«Slime Fountain»
Since Minecraft Beta version 1.3, slimes became common. I remember back before they were removed, they were my favorite "enemy" in the game. The idea behind a slime is if you kill one, it breaks apart into multiple smaller ones. The smallest can't hurt you, and if you kill them you get slime balls. In multiplayer however, they're buggy as hell right now.
Take this medium sized slime that spawned in my mob grinder collection room.

I thought he was cute, so I had him follow me up the stairs to the surface where my creeper temple is. Big mistake...
This 1 medium sized slime got stuck in the fountain at my creeper temple and drowned to death... Splitting into multiple HUGE slimes, then they drowned and- OH GOD WHY!?!

I managed to climb the ladder up the wall to safety, and look down in horror as they kept multiplying; spewing forth from the fountain. It was actually quite entertaining. But alas, when I logged out and back in most of them were gone.

All those facts are just made up like most statistics. However the last one is correct: I have indeed pre-ordered Portal 2.

«Towers Done, Temple Built»
I suppose I should give an update to what I've been doing on the Minecraft server.
My mob grinder is done. I think it's currently the largest one on the server. Since it's multiplayer, its performance varies greatly. Things like the number of people on and server lag affect the output. From what I've read, grinders always have a lower output in multiplayer when compared to singleplayer. Still; 7,500 items/hour isn't anything to scoff at. Click an image to view full.
Here's my completed sandstone mob grinding towers.
The collection room, deep underground. The floor of this room is 1 level above bedrock. The items drop out of the creeper's mouth.
Here's the temple I've built on the surface above the collection room access. There's one very important feature missing still, and I don't yet have the materials required to build it.

«Grinders, Trees, and Pyramids Oh My!»
It seems that the Minecraft server I'm playing on is marked with 3 distinct types of structures this time around.
First are the monster grinders. I'm guilty of this one. Everyone found out on the old map how useful they are, so now everyone wants their own on the new map. Not all of them are as elaborate as the one I'm building. Most are just a single-level dark room that directs monsters into lava. This greatly devalues the loot that monsters drop.
Speaking of loot monsters drop, one of the new game patches made it so skeletons drop bones. Bones can be crafted into bone meal. Bone meal can be used to fertilize trees or crops, making them grow instantly. This has given rise to the second type of structures dominating the server: giant trees. By growing many trees next to and on top of each other, one can make a giant tree. There are at least 4-5 such trees so far.
The third type are pyramids. I'm not sure if people like them because they are not just rectangular boxes or they just can't think of anything else to build. They're not the most space efficient thing to live in, that's for sure.
The sad thing is, I might end up building all 3 at some point.

Zero Punctuation: Minecraft
I take it he liked the game. The only review by him I've seen where he gave a more positive review was Portal.

«Building a Trap»
It's such a pain building large projects in Minecraft when I don't have a huge stockpile of supplies. I'm building a giant monster grinder. Basically it's a big multi-level dark tower. Monsters spawn in darkness, then fall down to the bottom of the tower and either die from the fall, or in a lava trap. Their loot is then carried by water to a collection point where I can stand. This is my first major construction on the new server map.
I'm making the effort to build the exterior out of sandstone, so it's taking a while to get the materials for it. It will be much taller than this.

It actually extends further underground than it is tall right now. That other one is going to be a second tower connected to the first one.See the rest of “Building a Trap”»

«Derpcraft Becomes CraftVille»
The multiplayer Minecraft server I play on has been reset. New land to conquer and build monuments to myself on.
Yesterday was the last day with the old map. Demolition derby! About every major building was blown up with T&T. So much T&T that it routinely crashed everyone watching, but what a hole some of them left!
On the new map I've went Northeast and laid claim to a large desert. My plans involve a lot of sand, sandstone, and glass. My first order of business is to decide where I want to build 2 giant silos that will become mob traps. Basically a multi-level dark room that monsters spawn in, then automatically die in such a way that I can collect their loot.
After that, I'm going to build expansive semi-Egyptian style ruins throughout the desert. Some will be built in-tact, others will appear in disrepair.

«Medic Jetpack»
I wish you could actually do this in-game (Team Fortress 2). I would so do it, even if it killed us both.

«Minecraft Reset»
So they're going to reset the Minecraft server I've been playing on the 23rd. All that work... Gone.
But I guess the fun is in building something, not letting it sit around after. I don't know. I'm the type that would build something out of Legos and then not tear it apart until I needed the pieces to build something else.
I'm trying to mentally detach myself from what I've built.

I stumbled across this cavern in Minecraft. It's a naturally hollow mountain. I should do something with it later...

«Tower As Seen From Atrium»
My tower in the mulitplayer Minecraft server I play on extends from the build limit all the way down into the ground to bedrock.
This is my favorite view of the tower, standing at sea level inside my atrium.

«Derpconomy»
It was inevitable, wasn't it? My roommate and I figured out how to combine Minecraft and Team Fortress 2, creating an economy on the Minecraft server in the process. The Block Emporium. We've changed the Minecraft world into a capitalist society, putting a price on types of blocks. Supply and demand, as well as the time it takes to procure the blocks is factored into the price.
What's the currency? Scrap metal in Team Fortress 2. Although we do trade blocks for other blocks that are in higher demand, then sell those ones for scrap metal. Scrap metal is the basic currency used for trading weapons and hats in Team Fortress 2.
Yes, I've started mining resources in one game, then trading them to get cosmetic hats in another game. There comes a point when one realizes his time is worth nothing, and I've clearly passed it.

«Name That Beak»
With the help of a friend, I have acquired a Blighted Beak for my medic in Team Fortress 2. I also happen to have a Name Tag, allowing me to name an item.
It's modeled after the primitive respirators worn by plague doctors in the middle ages.
What should I name this mask? The default name is "Blighted Beak". Surly there's a better name I could give it. Never mind that he's playing violin on his bone saw1.
1: Yes, I know that's actually the Amputator weapon.
