Hmm... it's that time of year again. Yep that's right, con season! We're hitting the road to meet fans, hock funny t-shirts and give out high-fives!
Then after that it's straight off to Dallas, Texas for A-Kon!
Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it! (4.86 out of 5) (4.83 out of 5) (4.83 out of 5) (4.83 out of 5) (4.83 out of 5) (4.83 out of 5) (4.83 out of 5) (4.82 out of 5) (4.82 out of 5) (4.82 out of 5)(see more...)
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
So, if the societal norm for how difficult something was "you young whippersnappers have it so easy….Why in MY day we (insert activity/thing considered 'hard'/'complex' by the standard's of today's society here)"…
Does that mean Minecraft is the videogame inverse, where the young gamers of today use Minecraft as an example of pointing out that the older gamers 'had it easy'…?
I have traveled through treacherous caverns fighting hordes of the most dangerous creatures in hopes of finding a chest containing one of the rarest materials in the known world. An apple.
I have idled for a week and all I got is 4 jars of Jarate.
Y'know, you can just use buckets. Put the lava into the shape, square by square, cooling it into obsidian with a bucket of water each time. You don't need diamonds to make a nether-portal.
I've made an infinite source of water, an infinite source of cobblestone, and traveled deep into the depths of the earth for a skeleton spawner. I then methodically orchestrated the immediate (re)death of every single one with a bit of lava found yet deeper in the cave. I extracted and ground meal out of their bones. Then I sprinkled it on my crops.
Y'know, because I'm impatient.
I suggest you see a doctor.
Back in MY day, if we wanted a fireplace in our homes, we would have to go into the Build Menu and PURCHASE one. Then we'd have to make sure there wasn't any wooden furniture nearby or everything in the house would catch fire!
Kind of sucks that lost its meaning now that Jeb's adding apples randomly dropping from leaf blocks in the next release.
*looks up upcoming features* Huh, I've kinda been waiting for that. Well until Jeb adds cocoa bushes I still have to go through high hell for some cookies.
cocoa bushes?
you mean cocoa pink clouds!
Totally worth it!
I've typed for seconds and seconds
using nothing but wit
to finally be able to craft the easiest thing you possibly can in Minecraft that you can here too.
A comment.
Yeah, shouldn't Strike_low have no less than 12? On top of that, the Medic might recommend something drastic.
Inversely, I have a lot of what can be considered the less precious of all minerals sitting in my reserve:
Gold.
I can know the time of day by looking at the sky, and my rollercoaster is already complete. The tools break before you can use them, and the armour has many weaks spots, including one that makes it ineffective against skeletons:
There is nothing to protect one's knees.
hey man, that fireplace was totaly worth it
But sometimes we had to make sure there was wooden furniture nearby…
*cough*
Yeah…. e_o
HAH! Really! Back in my day we didn't build dinky houses for a virtual family. We built cities for tens of thousands of people to live in! Wasn't easy either. My city got attacked by giant robots and aliens! Destroyed whole sections of my city! And you people complain about a hole getting blown out of your house because of a… What do ya callem…. "Stalkers"?
It's finally all set up! My fireplace is…hey what the- MY HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN!
This is what I get for thinking wool was a viable building material!
I mine the land, so I can build more pickaxes, so I can mine the land, so I can build more pickaxes, so I can mine the land, so I can more build pickaxes, so I can mine the land, so I can get more cocaine…
In all seriousness though, cool post. it's just that as of late I've heard a growing number of people are being labelled Autistic for playing any game that has the slightest repetition
It goes somewhat along the lines of: "YOU DOO REPETITIVE ACSHUNS IN MINECRAFT THAT MEANS YOU HAVE AUTISM YOU SCRUB!"
Cruel
it seems to be stemming from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detai…
I have traveled across the land
Searching, far and wide…
You know, the sad part of this is that he doesn't even get to stay warmer by that thing.
Apples are not minerals!
(Maybe the golden apple is…)
It's funny because its true…
Though to be honest, it was easier than finding the clay for those bricks.
He said "material" not "mineral", silly Prof. Luigi.
Can't you just set 2 blocks of wood on fire? And instead of needing diamond you could make obsidian using lava and water buckets.
Now what were we supposed to learn from the three little pigs?
Use brick and mortar or something even better.
And beware of wolves. That blow.
You have the most excellent avatar. Capitalism, ho!
….You people took an extrospective observation of society's standards concerning difficulty….and turned it into a Sims discussion…..
Have you ever really sat down in front of the fires of hell? Eternal damnation is actually quite cozy.
Afterwards, I plunged back into the depths of hell
Traveled to a remote fortress across lakes of lava and mountains of brimstone
Hunted creatures that could mercilessly set me ablaze at a moments notice
Returned to my world to hunt creatures that could teleport away from the slightest sign of danger
Crafted relics of unspeakable power to guide me to an ancient stronghold buried by dirt and time
Unlocked a portal to a Lovecraftian world of terror, whose king is a nigh-unbeatable black dragon
Engaged this dragon in combat, finally and miraculously defeating him
Looted his (her?) most prized possession, a dragon's egg
Listened to a somewhat confusing poem
Just so I could have an impressive looking mantlepiece.
You rape our land, steal our treasure, disturb our graveyards and spirits; and yet you call me the monster.
-Creeper
It's okay. Nobody pays attention to Prof. Luigi anyway.
In MY day, we didn't even have virtual pixels and whatnot doing the work! No, if we wanted to create anything, we had to shell out our real money for a thing called Legos! We might not have been able to build much without the special sets, and all of our buildings may have had mismatched colors, but by gum, we were proud of our work!
And god forbid if you got a single Mega Block in there! You would have been shunned by everyone!
Nice pic :D
To bad we can't tear up the earth and plunder the depths for some nice looking rocks to put around our fireplace-ohwait…
Do we get anything new for killing Notch?
Diamond Grenades maybe?
oh shit! you can make a fireplace?! … guess i got a reason to play minecraft tonight :D
also i seem to need reasons to play minecraft, i don't feel the pressing desire to constantly play… i never even made my underwater utopia like i wanted… does halolz still have a minecraft server? i never got in it :-
The Holy Hand Grenade of Anti-Notch, maybe?
"something even better"
Gatling Gun emplacements?
Do things the mundane way? No.
I'll build extradimensional spheres to encapsulate horrible monstrosities to move continents, bend time and space, and create landmasses and oceans.

So I can have the perfect world. And not have to make it with a pickaxe unless I so choose.
I guess getting the princesses is overrated.
That's dedication if I've every seen it.
The price of housing is also surprisingly low!
Too bad it's mostly time shares, though.
pff you only need lava, buckets, water and flint and tinder
To be fair, that is a bitchin' fireplace.
Teach Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside
(am i doin it rite?)
in my day… ppl were resourceful making wat they could with wat they had… I now know the most valueable item besides diamond tools….. nukes….
fear the enderdragon
A……fireplace……..I went to hell and all I got…..WAS A FIREPLACE!?
To be fair though it looks great.
"It's okay. Nobody pays attention to Prof. Luigi anyway. "
It's okay professor.. I know that feeling.
(Psst, let's rise up against the others!)
;(
(I'll prepare the shotguns and RPGs)
Of course! The Holy Hand Grenade of Anti-Notch! It's one of the secred relics brother Jeb carries!
Brother Jeb, bringeth forth the Holy Hand Grenade!
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!
but if you save her you get cake. do you have any idea how hard it is to make cake?
You would expect anything less? :D
Do they not realize that that is what video games are?
Minecraft: dig blocks up, kill monsters
Just about every FPS: shoot everything, swear like a sailor.
Mega Man-style games: JUMP 'N SHOOT!
It's all repetition!
Back in MY Day we had to dodge medusa heads, flying axe-boomerangs, and the occasional random skeleton trowing bones. ALL THE WHILE Trying to kill an armored knight with a moving shield using nothing but a WHIP! AND we didn't have sissy-ass "Levels" to make it easier neither!. ; /)
Hoo hoo! Luigi's gonna mess you up.
I shall lend my assistance to you.
*Calls helicopter homie*
Yep. Yep, the VTOL. Thanks. I miss you too.
…what?
*Opens mouth*
…probably not worth the backlash.
*closes mouth*
Bitches don't know 'bout mah lava molds.
