Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

[Emrico1]

I get the feeling DICE are really focussing on this. Like it is too important to them to stuff up.

More importantly, do you think the final version of minecraft will be better/worse than the beta?

[Obble]

Not one they can spam from the hip.

Or crouch spam with one arm, as they show in the teaser vid.

I need another beer.

They should just have an assualt rifle, only the tellyban have heavy mgs.

@ rico, doubt it'll change too much, just hope it isnt such a bandwidth whore >.<

[Codex]

if theres no comp support then it will be  a failure

[nzjeebs]

Minecraft takes pretty huge steps with each update to be honest, they've barely done anything with mutliplayer so i'm sure that will be amazing when its done.

Also, Notch (the creator of Minecraft) encourages people to try make minecraft but better and only discourages people from using the minecraft name.

[Emrico1]

I suppose Notch has made his wad on minecraft and probably lols at copies

[nzjeebs]

Minecraft itself is kind of just a copy of a million other things though too, plus allowing people to copy your game is an awesome way to encourage the indie game development scene and the development of your game.

Plus i doubt any of them will ever have anything on the million + player base of Minecraft.

pokemans are awesome

Nobody really gives a shit about obble.

Sincerely,
Everyone else

 
I don't give a shit about them.

I actually prefer obble to those childish denizens of make-believe.

Nah, they won't. It'll be the same as it always has been.
Medic is always overpowered simply due to the fact that they're little pussies that can run away and heal themselves. To off set this they should not also have the most accurate guns in the game. Let alone with 200 shots in them. I don't mind the medics having LMG's at all. I just think that firing from the hip or in a standing position at all is a bit shit. They should be slow and clunky, and have to fire from a deployed position to be accurate.

It'll help enforce them to be the behind the lines support class they're supposed to be.

In my opinion.


And yeh, what codex said. It needs dedicated servers.

[Obble]

Hey riitardo, ima burn your MC house down. hurrrr

[Emrico1]

Obble, big bad wolf since feb2011

[Obble]

Was so tempting to burn raith's house last night, damn you self control.

[Retardobot]

Hey riitardo, ima burn your MC house down. hurrrr

I don't have a house yet

I have spent all up until now clearing land only to decide "I want to build my shit closer to you guys".

[Obble]

I was saving rico's house from creepers last night, they really do love it.

Also, hate the amount of water on that map. grrr.

[mattnz]

Yeah, don't think they realised it wasn't the assualt rifles that made medic OP in BF2/2142, it's being able to heal yourself and instarez you're buds. And they took away overheating, just to make it even more stupid.

Just give them a fkin SMG.

sigh, have to live on 3 gig of internet per month while i'm down in timaru. already gone... thank god tuesday rolls the cap over



anyone with telecom here? how easy is it to acquire moar dataz? rents are on the Go plan or whatever it is

[420fairy]

prepaid or post paid?

home broadband or tstick?  either way you should be able to call *123 and get it done, let me know if it isnt happening will see what i can do from my end

[Speakman]

either suits, but probably easier if it comes on the bill. home broadband


something like 10 gigs would be ideal. don't see myself being down here for too long, so prolly a one off




call isn't going through :/

[Obble]

Hey reetardo and girlz, remember that place i ate at last week with the E rating, and shat myself till i prolapsed? :p

They've been shut down, victory is mine.

fairy so helpful@above.

oh sorry hun i had logged off early.  pm me some deets.  my suggestion would be to get a prepaid broadband stick for now as majority of wireline (home broadband) are provisioned in CHCH which means you wont be getting it for a wee while whereas i can get one to you and connected within 24 hours.  the cost is shite though however could do prepaid for now log an order in for home broadband - .  or if you have a postpaid cell/prepaid cell call *123 and get them to add mobile data - plug into pc use as modem and bobs your uncle.  we used our mobiles speeds were way faster than  home net.lol.  decent ping ping too.  ill be back in the office monday.  ill ask service and see if i can "borrow" a tstick (anywhere from $199 -$299 RRP) so all youll need is $29.95 for prepaid sim for data  pm cell number and ill check during this weekend and see if i can get data added so the cost wont be so much

[Speakman]

thanks fairy i think i may give it a couple of days till the cap rolls over and see how we go.



if only i had 2 degrees' 3G service this far south it'd be all good

@Growler: What effect did the quake have on your biz, specifically your plant?

[Growler]

Dunno mate, not allowed in, and could be some time till I can....... I left quick smart to get to the kids when it happend, I know 1 machine will be siezed which will need to be replaced at $50k, unless I can get to it in the next few days it will be beyond repair. My big fucker is a wait and see, I hit the kill switch on it as I ran past which throws it into lockdown and shuts off the inks etc, so I am hoping that one should be ok.

The building looked pretty bad when i left, cracks in the floors etc, but I dont think it would be structurally unsafe.

Does anyone know if any maps are available with closed roads etc in the CBD?  I need to get to Tuam St between montreal and durham.

[Dr Woomanchu]

I'd recommend going to the corner of Bealy Ave and Park Tce, and discussing your needs with the guys at the cordon there. They should be able to let you know what you can and can't do.

Anything at all I can do to help Growler, gimme a holler.

[Growler]

building is being inspected on Monday, cordon will still be in place, but I may be able to get in to do neccessary work to stop stuff getting more damaged if the building is deemed safe, as well as the surrounding area.

Not really anymore I can do than that!

Have emailed the UCSVA to see if they will help at mum and dads, so thanks Bitchi for that info.
