Community Update: Black Ops II, Minecraft Status and More!

Hi guys!

Mario here with a Community Update on some things you may not be realising!

BLACK OPS II WITH MARIO IS RELEASED!
Yup, I released a website to help any of you guys that have Black Ops II! It will feature classes, guides, patch updates and more! You can check it out by clicking here!

BLACK OPS II LIVESTREAMS COMING SOON!
Luckily, in Black Ops II, there's a way you can livestream games from a console (in my case, from a PS3) onto YouTube, so I'll be able to livestream some Black Ops II content for everyone! Best of all, it SHOULD render on YouTube, making the video mine! This means that I can make Black Ops II content that isn't 2 minutes long, for your enjoyment. The sad part: no commentary still, and each video will be a minimum of 15 minutes long, so if you don't like Black Ops II, terribly sorry!

SO, HOW DOES THIS AFFECT MINECRAFT?
To be honest, it doesn't affect my love of Minecraft at all! I'll still be posting Minecraft content, keeping you filled in on this website, and playing on multiplayer servers. I will just be splitting my time between the two games, plus my real life as well!

Informing you Now...

Hi guys!

Mario here with a bit of news!

Soon, I'll be getting a brand new PS3 which is coming with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Once this happens, I may not post for the rest of 2012. This is because I want to get a boost-start in BO2, PLUS it looks very addicting!

Just letting you know now, just in case...

Game Review #2: PlanetSide 2!

Hi guys!

Mario here with my second Game Review!

This time, it's an FPS (first-person shooter). This one's called PlanetSide 2, and has been published by SOE (Sony Online Entertainment). This FPS is set in space, and is a sort of King of the Hill-style game. This is first-person shooter, MMO style!

QUICK NOTICE: Do NOT download this game if your computer is too slow to handle it. My computer should handle it around 20-30 frames with 2 cores and the graphics card NVidia GeForce  7025, which could run Team Fortress 2 at a decent 22 frames.

When you first create your character, you'll have to make a choice: which one of the three empires will you join? There's the Terran Republic, the Vanu Sovereignty (Vaa-noo-sov-run-tee) and the New Conglomerate. Each empire has different colours: TR has red, VS is purple and NC have blue. Choose wisely, as this is your final choice (Note: you can make more than one character in the game, so you can try out all three empires). Then, you can sort out your online name.

The aim of the game is to capture three continents, full of bases and other players trying to hunt you down and kill you. Since this is a first-person shooter, there ARE other people. Here's the 6 classes you can play:


  • Combat Medic
  • Light Assault
  • Heavy Assault
  • Engineer
  • MAX
  • Infiltrator

You may have to play around for a bit to figure out your favorite class, but it's best to play all six.

You can also create vehicles to travel around in! Tanks, trucks and helicopters are the types of vehicle you may gather. There is also a vehicle designed to carry multiple soldiers onto the battlefield. You can also deploy yourself into a location, but bare in mind you are visible whilst doing so. An example of a New Conglomerate vehicle, the Galaxy:

The graphics are very high to my awareness, as I haven't finished the download of this game yet (around 130MB away).

Anyways, if you guys want to see more, I might post some stuff on YouTube or do livestreams, as I hear you can livestream from in-game!

My Thoughts on The End of the World...

Hi guys!

Mario here with something that has drove me up the wall!

Everyone is saying the world will end this year. This is because some people created a calendar that only went up to 21st December 2012. My theory:

These people, the Mayans, were never described as magical as far as I'm aware. They could not have bound their calendar to the Sun or the Earth's Core. Thus, my calendar goes up to December 31st 2012. That would mean the world for me would end then. People think the world will end because of ONE CALENDAR!

If my theory has been flawed by a scientist, I don't really care...this is my opinion, I'll stick by it!
