Seriously. What's the deal with people pissing all over those that use INVEdit for their structures? Sure, if it's a 10x10x10 wooden hut, it's just being lazy and cheap. But if it's a giant 5-minute-diamond-and-gold roller coaster, you're seriously going to complain it's not legit? WELL DONE, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS, IT ISN'T.

The point of building in the game is the creativity, albeit only for exceedingly large creations. I mean, do people seriously expect other people to slog it out mining and then maybe smelting the 10,000+ blocks required to build some of the amazing things out there? Is it really THAT important to spend that extra YEAR of your life probably, JUST to make it "LEGIT"?

Again, it's about the CREATION, not how you procure the blocks. It's a personal choice to use INVEdit that becomes almost a necessity for larger structures, so it's really only fair to criticize someone using INVEdit, if they're using it in situations to try and show off their work, such as having say, 10 diamond blocks. But what I don't get is when people STILL get criticized for showing off their creations that OBVIOUSLY were made with INVEdit. What's wrong with a solid diamond castle? Is it oh so "taboo" because it's unnatural? If it's so blatantly obvious that it's been made with INVEdit, flaming the person is just being an idiot. Great youtubers use INVEdit to make show off their new creations and contraptions like vending machines and man-cannons and THEY don't get any flak for it.

In conclusion, INVEdit is a personal choice, and it's sole purpose should be to show off fun creations, concepts, designs and ideas, not to cheat your way through SSP or be a fraud and claim credit for plausibly "legit" structures, when they aren't. Above all, it's purpose is TO HAVE FUN. But alas, the boundary is blurred by those obsessed people that actually DO spend days on end mining and smelting materials to make what can be made with INVEdit in a day... Comments on this matter, anyone?

GCSEs! 9 subjects spanning across 18 papers, coming right at me XD And then i have 10 days of nothingness as my last exam is 10 days before the end-of-term... Oh well. Time to get my nerd on! Now the stupid red box says I need 300 characters in this post. Pfft.

I've just realized that I've gained my somewhat pointless but still epic rank on this site just by commenting and stuff over the years. I doubt anyone actually reads these but I'm still going to throw my 2 cents out there on this XD It has also occurred to me that people can be incredibly stubborn, immature, and thick. Mostly thick. Inherently? I don't know. But on the forums everywhere there's always the "know-it-all" that, ironically, doesn't. But who am I to judge. They may not even realize it. Oh wells, just an afterthought. GCSEs this year, those 9 1/2 A*s are almost within reach =)

Well, it's been a good year I guess. New school, good results (somewhat), lotsa games that have come out or will come out that I wanna play. Sadly, no time to play em' T_T. Thinking of getting a pair of USB gaming headphones for my PS3. Well, that's pretty much all I have to say/type. If you're reading this, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! =D

Well, I'm surviving in school I guess. Spent half of yesterday out of school, 3 hours at the amusement park, 9 on the bus D:. Well the schools started a gaming club-thingamabob on Wednesdays and they opened the internet ports so that we can play online. I'm more of an FPS person, so I guess i'll wait till they get CS or COD4? =)

Just my luck, discovering Minecraft just when summer ends =\ I'm thinking of getting the Alpha, but I don't think my parents would agree to buying a game at the start of the school year XD Aaanyways, been spending some time on the free multiplayer servers, and I thought it pretty awesome and stuff, until some kid griefer destroyed 5 hours of work and flooded ALOT of tunnels. Oh well. Also, I've been encountering that black screen you get while loading Minecraft (AKA the Black Screen of Death), quite alot recently, and it's not just me, but tons of people in fact. Something to do with Java and corrupt files =\ Well, overall it's an enjoyable and addicting game, and I would recommend it to everyone. Just wish that something more can be done to combat griefers. We'll see.

Been playing it for over a month now, and I like it :D Some things bug me though =\ Firstly, the Carl-G is like the new super-duper noob tube, but flies faster, in a straight line, has potentially double the blast radius, can take out whole buildings, and has 2-3 times the ammo of the tubes in MW2 O_O Sure, it's true using the under-mounted grenade launcher on rifles actually takes skill now, but using a Carl-G sure as hell doesn't. Secondly, I was really excited when I heard that snipers would have to account for bullet drop, but that's about it. Hmm. No windage and idle sway make it a tad easy, just guesstimate, and you'll probably blow the dude's head off. Other than that, an awesome game! But people rocket-sniping M-Coms across maps, far out of the reach of defenders, and people just collapsing M-Com buildings as a cheap way to blow it up, they annoy me so D: Well, it's still an awesome game overall XD Wondering how BF3 will turn out.

Well, the holiday drones on, and I have nothing to do. Watched Inception yesterday, was pretty good. Yeah... Well, I'm now filling up space to satisfy the 300-character minimum for waffling here, hope something interesting pops up soon. LIFE, WHERE ARE YOU?! DX On a side note, I think I'm becoming nocturnal =O

Woot! Got BF:BC2 for my PS3, but i somehow managed to lock myself outta my PSN account, so i had to create a new one, wasting one day's gameplay XD. Pretty awesome game, spotting lets you snipe someone across the map with practically any gun XD. Anyways, work experience starts tomorrow, I'll see how that goes. Wow. I just realized that I've been talking to a wall. Society at its best XD

Uh. Yeah. Summer's here, and, I'M COMPLETELY BORED. Been trying to speed up my com by moving all the program files of my games onto a external hard drive, but now i can't play them for some reason when i hook up the hard drive, looks like ill have to re-install everything! Am considering getting BF:BC2 for PS3, and i can't wait for BF3 to come out! :D Meh. Anyway, this is my first time waffling about stuff here. Maybe i'll do this more often XD
