Mince Craft: The Noob's Journey

Konnichiwa everyone! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving break, but now it's time for school and work again (but not for long, 3 more weeks until winter break!). Your PurpleNinja has come to report to you, that after trying to find a way to play Minecraft for so long, thanks to SkyeBlue, I can now play it! And after playing for like, a day and a half, I feel pretty noobish. Like, the purpose of the game (at least what I know from it) is to mine for certain things (like coal and iron, steel, and other stuff like that) and create new items from it. I heard from Hardstyle21 that there is a boss battle with a dragon, but I don't know. I just want to mine in a cave without dying in lava.

So far, I built myself a house (still needs work to it)  and crafted basic materials for mining, like a pickaxe and shovels and whatnot. I've kept it on peaceful mode until I'm done with my house and crafting other basic necessities. The last thing I need is to be down in a deep (and I mean deep) dark cave being attacked by spiders or getting my house blown up by a creeper. I'm still trying to regain all the stuff I lost after burning in a pit of lava. (And I had so much coal too!!!) But all in all, it's a pretty fun, addicting and time consuming game. Seriously, I started playing at like 9 or 10 pm and I ended up playing until 1 am last night trying to fix up my house and make me a bed for it. Talk about being memorized by a flashing screen of wonders.

Buy Minecraft for $26.95 here or play it for free in-browser here. (Or you can be illegal and try to download a cracked version on the web somewhere. It's out there, I know it...)

And just a few tips before I go

1. Make a house from an existing hill: So much easier than building from scratch. If you dig deep enough too, you can stumble (or fall into) a cave for mining!

2. Carry extra supplies: You never know when you're gonna run out of something until you do and get stuck.

 3. Creepers explode: Don't get to close to them, they do blow up houses, and you!

4. Don't hit dogs: Hitting other animals is ok, but dogs fight back. Plus, they roam in packs, so if you hurt one, they ALL come after you. Not the best way to start off.

5. Have fun: Not a very hard tip to follow if I do say so myself.

Last but not least, make sure you're not playing it for too long. You get sucked in, and you just may not come out. EVER.

Sayonara!

Mega Man Legends 3 Cancelled?!

A picture of Rockman/Megaman

Many fans are disappointed because Mega Man Legends 3 project for the 3DS was cancelled, and the prototype was never released either. I noticed this when my younger brother was watching reaction videos to the cancellation, and they didn't sound pleasant. Capcom also says that there currently are no plans of restarting the project in the future. On top of that, the company also says, "Additionally, updates of the Mega Man Legends Developer Room will cease as of today, though the North American Developer Room and its forums will remain open indefinitely." This is very unfortunate, and this news have fans question what's going to happen next, since another Megaman title was cancelled earlier in the year: Megaman Universe. Capcom answered this question in a Q&A: " This is the second Mega Man game cancelled this year, what does this mean for the future of the Mega Man Franchise? "And they answered with "Mega Man is still an important franchise within Capcom’s portfolio and we will continue to pursue opportunities to create new titles in the series." So they are not just giving up the whole Megaman franchise, because it's so important to them. This would definitely set the fans at ease. See you next time for a new post. Peace!

Syndicate daily minecraft project (:

So here's the #1 subscribed Youtube UK solo gaming commentator and he just happens to post daily Minecraft videos called "The Minecraft Project"  he's very popular in the UK and the U.S. he's is very funny and cares  about his fans unlike other random people. He lets people download his world and then live streams some episodes so fans could comment and give him ideas he ask for the audiences' help and admits to his mistakes he sometimes does two Minecraft videos a day to keep his fans involved and interested and often hides annotations in his videos kind of as an insider joke. He often says that he loves playing Minecraft in one episode he mentions hat he kind if wants to be an architect and Minecraft lets him create his own world. He is the one who inspired myself to start playing Minecraft. He does get payed to play the newest games on Playstation 3, PC, and X-Box 360. Here's his youtube channel. I subscribe to him and look forward to his funny videos everyday as soon as I get home from school he often gives me ideas and although his world is great I've started my own world in a mock of his but his is far better than mine but still I try. Besides his daily Minecraft Project he also works on another minecraft project he calls "SyndiKate Adventures in Minecraft" where its him and a girl named kate working together in their own private server which is also quite funny.I suggest watching him if your a fan of Minecraft.-Hardtyleforlife21

Diamond Hollow II

title

gameplay

Diamond Hollow II was made with Flixel a cool new progamming thing made by Adam Atomic, one of the guys I interviewed. You are basically a guy lost in a cave when a gun dropped by the evil professor aids you in escaping and he helps you along the way. The gun was thrown down by the professor because it didn't want to kill a human. You journey with this gun while getting upgrades and new types like rebound shot, missile, 3 shot, and original machine gun. Through the levels you collect diamonds and battle slimes, birds, robots. Once you reach the end of a level, through which checkpoints are available, you fight the boss, which is normally a slime/monster but stronger and with other enemies that can't die. You keep going till you get to the last level. WARNING SPOILER ALERT: You fight the evil professor and once you finish he steals the gun from you and tries to reprogram it and kill you but, the gun doesn't want to kill a human so he uses an escape elevator and you leave. At the end it shows you and the gun says from within the cave, NO I DON:T WANT TO HURT HUMANS, then you desplay a frown emoticon and the game ends.
There are also other games in this game. There is one called Boss Rush that is basically all the bosses one after the other, while you keep all the equipment before stolen by the professor. To unlock this you have to beat the game. Once you start you have choice of Normal, and Heroic (gotten by beating normal). The bosses are stronger and more defensive in this game so watch out. Another game is Escape where you keep going up while fighting the slimes and lava slowly fills below you. You need diamonds to unlock certain checkpoints. Extremely hard, like the reverse of falldown except that you have to kill things in your way. The last two games are mini games. The mini games are Runner Mode and Tadpole Mode. To get these you have to get 15 gems and then 25 gems respectively. In runner mode you go forward without your control and you have to jump and shoot while dodging the holes that you can fall into and grabbing the gems to buy upgrades for your self. In Tadpole Mode you are a blue tadpole going against orange and red ones while collecting gems. this is really like copter, one click defies gravity. Took about ~3-4 hours to get all mentioned here also with a bunch of upgrades. If you have time to play do so, but only do story as it can be completed unlike the other never-ending games. The Link is Here> ?????? though I doubt you will be able to play it at school as AISD likes to be a dementor and suck the fun out of everything (YEAH METAPHOR). That is it I guess. Here is someone playing the TADPOLE game so you can get the gist of it> ??????

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Hey everyone! SkyeBlue here with some really epic news! I'm pretty sure you've seen this on Tv before, but I'd like to share that the new Zelda game, Skyward Sword, is coming out on November 20, 2011. From what I gathered from the Zelda wiki, the game takes place before the events in Ocarina of Time, and Ganondorf (or as I like to call him, GanonDORK!) will not be in this game, but they will possibly mention his appearance in Ocarina of Time. The gameplay consists of using the Wii Motion Plus for swordplay, similar to Twilight Princess. However, other items can be used with the Wii Motion Plus also, like bombs, slingshot, a whip, and others. In addition to the gameplay, Link is right-handed in this game as well to make it easier for the players. Now the music is what I'm looking forward to the most. The Zelda wiki says that the music is orchestrated (much like the music from Super Mario Galaxy). So I'll say I'm really looking forward to this game, and I hope I get this for christmas. C=

DaPurpleNinja's Lead for Feature

Lead:

Big eyes, flowing hair, lots of action and tons of comedy. Anime has been popular in the U.S since the 90s, and the Internet continues to keep it popularity grow. There is an approximate total of 30-50 million anime fans in America alone, and at least half of those people attempt to draw anime in their own style at one point in time. What makes it so popular? What encourages people (the majority being early teens, and most of that is girls) to draw anime? Let’s dive deep into the world of this animated cartoon style, and see what we can find.

How to make a tree farm and/or a mushroom farm on minecraft

Here is the start of a mushroom farm for decoration on Minecraft and a tree farm this supplies you with unlimited amounts of trees for things like Unlimited crafting or just decorations, first you need to put it around a well lit area and then place dirt down and right click it with your hoe that you make on your crating table and if you didn't already know a way to easily make these grow faster is just make bone meal and place it on the mushroom and it should easily just grow unless it doesn't have enough room around it so don't just go around throwing bone meal on the same sapling or mushroom for 30 minutes it's probably because there's not enough room.

Yeah tree, farm, should look just like this, mushroom farm but, with trees how you enjoyed -Hardstyleforlife21

Stressed-out and Over-Worked. Purpleninja's way to beat it all!

Konnichiwa minna-san! I know that everyone of you guys is looking forward to Thanksgiving break next week. Nothing better to start off the 3rd six weeks than with a week away from school. Just sitting at home, relaxing (hopefully we won't get any homework...). And what other way to relax than playing some internet games?

This week's Game Review: The Game (btw, you just lost it)

The game, is a rather simple straight-forward game that is oddly addicting. You are a little person on a glassy platform, constantly killing yourself. I know, how depressing. But it's fun, trust me. At first, your just killing yourself and you get witty one liners after each level. After like the first 5 or 7 levels, things start to get interesting. Internet memes start coming out of nowhere, the war and other social issues are mentioned, even GLOBAL WARMING! There are extras and little mini games (sorta). You even get told off.... by YOURSELF. It's very fun and a good distraction from wor- *ahem* I mean a great game to play after you finished everything you have to do heh heh *nervous laughter*. 

There are also two other parts to :The Game: Re-playing :the Game: and Re-imagine :the Game:. The last one is super fun, but I can't get past the last level. Oh well I'm such a noob. 

'Til next week. Sayonara!

StepMania: The Dance Dance Revolution for Your Fingers

I'm pretty sure most of you guys have been someplace that has the DDR arcade games, or actually has the game at home. Well, this is sort of like that game. It's called StepMainia, and it's free software. StepMania is almost exactly like DDR, but it's slightly different. With StepMania, you can download your favorite songs here (be sure to read the instructions on how to download the songs) and dance to it. The difficulties are the same also. There's Novice, Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. How hard or easy it is depends on the number that's next to it. You can also play with a friend. You'll have to set the Player 2 controls though. Of course the gameplay is the same as any DDR related games, and you can also change the options the same way, with a few exceptions. If you want, download the game here. It's really fun, trust me. I've downloaded it and I'm having a blast.

Da PurpleNinja's Top 5 Video Games

Konnichiwa minna-san (once again, this mean hello everyone in japanese.)! As some of you (my close friends) may know, I have moved and finally got my PS2 back (but not my memory card, I have no idea where it is). Hurray! And what better way to celebrate then to name my top 5 games for the PS2. Prepare yourself for epicness.

WARNING: Some games are for mature audiences. Read with caution

5. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Rated M

My second favorite grand theft auto. For once, there's a two-player mode in it, and you don't drown in a puddle of water. You can actually swim. The cheat codes are awesome too, like the jet-pack, flying car, or airplane. Just don't fly over the boarder, the cops will get you. Trust me.

4. Pac-Man World 2 Rated E

I love that little yellow pac-thingy. The game-play is pretty good, it's fun, and doesn't get too cheesy. This game could have ranked higher if the wood levels and lava levels weren't that hard. It's a pretty good game to play when you're bored. ALSO, if you have this game, climb up to a high platform (works best in wood levels) and fall down to a lower platform. YOU HAVE TO LAND ON IT! Pac-man will land on his butt, hurt, and it makes a funny sound. I love doing that.

3. Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories Rated M

My very favorite in the GTA series. The cheat codes are super easy to remember, and it's funny to rampage in it. With me, I'll go so far in the game, then I'll take a break and rampage for a while. I like the area by the hospital and police station, because they can never catch me. But be aware that you can drown in this game. Seriously, I drowned in a PUDDLE before. It made me so mad that I didn't know what to do.

2. Kingdom Hearts Rated E10+

I LOVE THIS SERIES AND THIS GAME! The plot is amazing, game-play is wonderful, and the characters are awesome. It takes a little while for the game to get interesting, but after a while it gets pretty good. And it's not one of those games that are super short. I still haven't beat this game. I'm too scared to go back to Hollow Bastion or fight the phantom at Never-land. I had NIGHTMARES of losing or fighting weird bosses, like heartless-bunnies. 

This game was so close to ranking number one, but that title belongs to...

1. Kingdom Hearts 2 Rated E10+

ABSOLUTE BEST. GAME. EVER! I love the twists and turns of the plot. I love the soundtrack (it always tears me up). I LOVE ROXAS! Lol fan-girl moment. The Roxas story was so sad. Why did he have to go? Axel was awesome. He was my favorite by default because of his awesome smexy-ness and flaming weapons. The Origination was cool too. It's a shame what happened to them though.... All in all, best game ever. 

But I have one question: Why is there a Kingdom Hearts 3? The ending was pretty conclusive, so why would they make a third one? Please let me know in the comments. 

SAYONARA!

Sonic Generations: A Blast to the Past

Modern Sonic(Left) and Classic Sonic(Right)

 As I'm pretty sure you've all heard this, but Sega is now releasing Sonic Generations on November 22nd(I'm not really sure on the release date). I caught my little brother watching the cutscenes from it on youtube and I thought they were pretty funny. The game features Classic Sonic & Tails and Modern Sonic & Tails in a journey in time and space itself. A new enemy called the Time Eater（タイムイーターTaimu Ita) sent everyone back in various time frames (which are the previous Sonic titles) using "time holes". Classic and Modern Sonic then race through time to save their friends and defeat the Time Eater to return with their friends in their own times. The levels they picked are basically fan-favorite: Green-Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, Sky Sanctuary, Speed Highway, City Escape, Seaside Hill, Crisis City, Rooftop Run and Planet wisp. The characters that are included in the game are Tails, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao, Rouge the Bat, Blaze the Cat, Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon , Charmy the Bee, Shadow the Hedgehog and Silver the Hedgehog, and the most known bosses like Perfect Chaos, the Death Egg robot and Silver the Hedgehog are also featured in the game. Considering these facts, I'm looking forward to this game, so I'm possibly getting my PS3 back for Christmas and possibly getting this game. See you in the next post! Peace!

BRING BACK OLD GAME SYSTEMS! Da PurpleNinja

This blog is for all of those video game nerdies that have been play games since childhood. If that doesn't apply to you, LEAVE! Just kidding, you can stay.


Don't you guys miss the old days, playing sonic and other classic games on your Sega DreamCast or playing Mario (nerds) on your old NES (what is that)? Do you miss the gamecube, nintindo gameboy, and all the other old systems? Because I do. The people in charge of gaming should really consider bringing back the old game systems or remaking classic games (like sonic shuffle or megaman) to play on newer gaming systems; kinda like what they did with the Wii playing old gamecube games. That way we can all be children again! =]


OR.....
THEY CAN MAKE THE X-STATION!
The x-station is a game station made from all gaming stations.  It has the playstaion 1-3, xbox, xbox 360, Wii, Wii u, all Nintendo DS's, PSP, Sega Dreamcast, Gamecube, Gameboy, SNES, NES, and any other game systems I forgot.  It would be awesome! It would be epic! It would look.... ugly. Oh well.


Let me now in the comments what your favorite game was for these old systems or for the newer ones (that I don't have).

Wobbleland Dubstep Rave

This year at Wobbleland NERO, Skrillex, Datsik, 12th Planet, Jakwob, Kastle, John Beaver, Luke Nukem, Getter, Skriptah v. Rate P, KRYPH b ut due to very limited details I will talk about last years Wobbleland (:




This is an online poster for Wobbleland. Its a rave for 18+ and here's a video of last years Wobbleland which seemed to be mostly successful... Click Here

I like the very end and it goes to skrillex he's a fan favorite and even does a stage dive for the fans which in my opinion is epic xD In the previous Wobbleland Skrillex, Nero, 12th Planet, Datsik performed and brought quite a crowd. With the strobe lights and lasers going everywhere who's to know whats gonna happen? You can come dressed in anything you want point is to be different and creative so go all out.... The video was made by Jon Zombie who also makes videos for many other raves which I guess is a pretty fun thing to do but takes lots of editing. Skrillex seems to love his fans as much as they love him by seeing how involved he gets with them in the video... Music is cool and gets stuck in my head any of that happen to you? Well hope you enjoy this times blog I'm out until next time... -Hardstyleforlife21
