New Map Let's Play Soon!

Hi guys!

Mario here with an update on a new Let's Play I will be starting soon!

So, I was looking around the MC Forums when I found:

ocomobock's Sky Conqueror!

And I decided to do a recorded LP of it! The first episode will be out either November or December, I don't know when. This is simply because I need to buy premium Screencast-o-Matic because then I could make episodes 30 minutes long, and it would take less time to complete the series!

So, hope you look forward to it!

The Ancient Zombie Transcript P1C1

Hi guys!

Mario here with some news on something I found whilst in a singleplayer world in Minecraft!

So, I was just killing off some Skeletons and Endermen who were being annoying, when one of them dropped a scroll. I looked at the title 'The Ancient Zombie Transcript'. I began to read it:

PART 1: THE BIRTH OF THE ZOMBIE BRINGER

Chapter 1: The Era Before Minecraftia
A long time ago, Minecraftia never existed. It was just a blank space of air in another universe from where we are now. When suddenly, Notch, who was the God of this blank universe, decided to create an entire planet made COMPLETELY out of blocks. So, he did. And he made it so that it went on infinitely until the end of time. Players began to spawn on Minecraftia, and the world was peaceful as players tried to survive together.
          However, there is always an enemy in any world. Somewhere past bedrock (yes, the void), an evil man named Herobrine was plotting a lot of evil-doings for the end of Minecraftia. He did not like blocks, he did not like people and he certainly did not like Notch.
          So, one day, Herobrine finally found what he had been looking for: potions. If he combined Weakness, Poison and Slowness together, he could create terrifying monsters that would wreck the world forever. So he created a lot of main boss mobs. These were:

  • The Flesh Ripper (Skeleton)
  • The Teleporting Freak (Enderman)
  • The Explosive Engineer (Creeper)
  • The String Spitter (Spider)
  • The Poison Punch (Cave Spider)
  • The Zombie Bringer (Zombie)
          Herobrine created the Zombie Bringer last of all because he wanted him to be the most ferocious; the scariest, the boldest, the most deadly. When it was finally created, Herobrine looked at his work. It was marvellous.
          These boss mobs began to do diabolical work. They spawned monsters in every corner of the universe. They would blow up player-created villages and workshops. They would destroy chests, allowing wicked players to steal other players' items. It was a time of terror. And Notch did not find out until the full release of Minecraftia...

Well, that's all I found. I'll see if I can find another chapter by killing a few zombies! Cya then!

Voting on MCInfected!

Hi guys!

Mario here with a quick update on MCInfected!

So, I was playing on the server literally 30 seconds ago, and there was NukeTown and Downturn. FYI, NukeTown is the WORST MAP THERE IS!!! Don't care about Call of Duty, in Minecraft it is s***! And guess what won!

NUKETOWN WON!

FFS, people, start living life to the full on this server: Downturn is the 2nd easiest map to win on (aside from Hardhat), and NukeTown is the 2nd easiest to LOSE on (aside from Mission), and NUKETOWN F***ING WON!!! I'm sorry for bleeping out a lot here guys, but this is a sign that the world has gone insane. Downturn is a way better map, and yet you stick by your favourite Call of Duty map. My favourite map is Dome, and I will vote for it UNLESS there's a map you can get more cookies from! So, stop being map-huggers and start seeing which maps give cookies!

Best Maps:
Hardhat
Downturn
Space_Station

Worst Maps:
NukeTown
Mission

Just bear that in mind guys...also, pictures from my RFW progress coming soon!

New Map Series!

Hi guys!

Mario here with an update on my brand new map series that will be the most likely to be fully completed without any boredom, incompletion etc!

So, I'm going to make a whole PvP map series, with tons of PvP gamemodes that I'm going to try and think of. Here's a couple so far:

  • PvP Arena: Just a simple PvP arena, you can keep coming back when you die
  • Zombies: You will need at least 2 players for this gamemode. 1 player is the Zombie Bringer, a mystical monster who is said to bring zombies to life. The other players are humans, who have to fight off the 5-20 waves of zombies before attempting to kill the Zombie Bringer (Protection X Diamond Armor, Zombie Head and Diamond Sword with Fire Aspect I and Sharpness II)
  • Race for Wool: This is my most anticipated series! Race for Wool is a gamemode in which requires 2 teams (could play 1v1, up to 4v4 if you want it enjoyable). The first team to collect 3 pieces of wool and place them on a monument (hidden somewhere) will win! But the wool is hidden in dungeons which could have anything, from Nether monsters to EnderDragons (I plan on making an Ender RFW map) and Wither bosses.

Community Update: New Computer, Legend of Ariza and More!

Hi guys!

Mario here with a quick Community Update!

NEW COMPUTER!!! *IMPORTANT*
I recently got a new computer that runs quite a bit faster than my old one did (actually, after being on it for 20 mins, it runs a lot faster). This means all of my saves, texture packs, mods etc.  are all flushed down the loo! So, I'll prepare some new series for the channel!

LEGEND OF ARIZA CANCELLATION!
Unfortunately, this means the Legend of Ariza is deleted. I didn't get very far anyways, but I will likely still be making a map...I just haven't decided what yet (Hint: RFW...if you know what these initials stand for, you'll know what I'm making).
