It would be cool to see how this looks after it's been on the road for a while. See if there's any interesting shapes from the engine/exhaust/airflow that show up.

When you sign up to race, you have to take a medical exam, just to make sure that you've got sufficiently solid iron balls...

(PS. Also, Isle of Man isn't Irish, they're different countries. >.<)

Thanks, Updated the embed code to the better quality version.

Minecraft has always struck me as a 3D and First Person version of Dwarf Fortress (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/) (For a more user-friendly version of DF i'd suggest a tileset such as the Phoebus set which should be available here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57557.0) which I'd also strongly recommend.

That said, Dwarf Fortress does have a difficulty curve similar to a brick wall, but with a bit of persistence it's really very rewarding, and the sheer freedom offered is quite astounding. Options range from simple fortress defence, through to training Magmanauts to search volcanos, to fully self-aware fortresses using the highest standard of dwarf-puting!

While I don't know the scale of the production team for Minecraft, I have to admit that I've always been impressed with DF especially as the entire production team is one bloke and his cat...

Either way, I'm glad that Minecraft has recaptured people's imaginations to start puttering around in an environment where virtually anything is possible. Muchos Kudos to them all.

I find the mute button works pretty well for that

I found it was worth bearing the music for the awesomeness of yoyoing like that.

oh god, its where they got the samples for that damned motorcycle frog thing that went round not long ago...

wait, you're telling me this ISN'T the original artist of this song ?!?

Auditions for live-action Sonic the Hedgehog are now closed.

Ahh but what a great sense of occasion he's now brought to class instead of just relying on a boring laptop like everyone else.

so, why does it need a person to be strapped into it if the machine moves the arms and holds the pen and pushes it down too ???

I think this is an example of where "actions speak louder than words" is actually pretty accurate.
