Hey JAPR! Now, get back down in the Siftmines and start digging out that video ore!

Right now its basically sandbox worldcraft using a limited array of textured blocks.


Soon, the developer has planned implementing NPC's, mining for ore to get resources, different gameplay modes, like where you have to build structures during a day cycle and fend off zombie attack at night.

It's only been in dev for two months and its one swedish guy working on it. The simplicity has me hooked.

Oh, also, you can instantly reskin your character however you choose, once you purchase. I guess this is only interesting if you like making up your own fun. You can run your own server easily, public or private, and since it's all java and broswer, your friends can help you build. You can kick people or ban them from your server if they mess around. You can save levels easily.

Im taking screenshots ill see what i can post... ahh here, my buddy made himself a storm trooper skin heh, and he found a cow too.

I didnt get any shots of what we'd been working on with serious intent.. all this stuff is just experimenting.

I guess you can also import old doom levels somehow?

Also in the pictures, bear in mind.. the world goes just as deep as it does high.. filled with caverns and ore and lava and.. well thats about it at the moment. The maps can generate some really funky stuff! its not all islands beach and water... cities pop up too.

remember ...there are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world (well, once they're implemented ~)

thank you for your time!

The more of them that get killed the more likely the people will overthrow the government if anny outside country gets involved then over time they will just become hated and just complicate the situation.

If USA try to "save the day" then what will happen is USA will do it in a fucked up crappy way that actually makes things worse.

Revolutions have to happen from within the country ore the people wont feal that it belongs to them.

In the end its all MOOT majority of Iranians are religious irrationals im sure thay are nice people but religion will have damaged there minds and made it harder for them to make rational constructive desisoins In the end a democracy is only as good as its population and well look At USA with its majority of religious people ironically the only thing stopping religion complety controlling everything in USA is capatalisum and in many respects that's just as oppressive and dirty as religion. also thankfully USA has a good number of intellectuals trying to fight of the shit.

the resolution is probably because USA cannot intervene but they have to be seen to be on the "right side" , USA will have an agenda and its never for the benefit of people its normally benefit of money to the rich people in USA , this is what happens in capitalist societies that don't have a government controlling welth distraction.

As for Iran the people are largely religious and that's more of a problem than weather ore not there government is democratic or not. If people are religouse it shows that thay are incapable of making rational desisoins so how are they going to be able to make a desisoin thats ratoinal when it comes to leadership ?

Mel in ore,
verba lactis.
Fel in corde,
fraus in factis.

A honeyed mouth with milky words hides a heart filled with gall and evil deeds

edit:
just sayin'
you know
perhaps the speech is rousing to some (certainly not me)
but still it's just a speech

I don't think its right to have kids regardless of there views to be in this sort of situation , a child's mind often is not capable of bing able to decide things in a reasoned fashion for itself. granted Manny adults are still children in this respect just regurgitating shit. but its far more likely for a child to not have well reasoned views on things than an adult ( you would hope).

the fact that he is doing a public speech will have reinforced this idea in this kid, regardless of the reason behind the idea , luckily in this case its for something i would consider positive but what if the kid was in a religious society and the school/people around him was getting him to promote Christianity or some other negative ideas?

I know the kid took it upon himself to do it and its good in Manny ways to encourage kids to be active and care about issues, but i would have thought the rational behind an idea is as important as the idea why would you cheer sum one on who has at a whim just had and idea and cannot adequately explain why they have that idea ore why others should follow it?

This guy is a dickhead , "rithums are numbers" well dum fuck yes in the seance that anything can be represented by numbers. i mean what a protentouse fucktard. i like people making music ore whatever thay do and its nice sumone just doing something thay want toi do , but if they are then gonna talk about it like a ass hat protentouse fuck they can piss off.

honkeytonk73, you noggins the initial part where he is on about the inability to criticize previous wars. British people are generally fairly critical of war and pessimistic and general hate everything the government dose. old and new.

How do you reed what i put and say that i am calming the UK is not guilty of being retarded on the global stage?

the point is its openly talked about in public in the UK in the government it might be taboo but im not in the government to know that. a good example with how critical the cavialn population of uk is against government in uk been retarded is the amount of protesting that took place before the golf war 2.

manny people are opanly critical of the needless shit we did in ww2 and 1. and other crap england has done. the piont is not wether we have done shit ore not its weathor ore not its taboo to talk about the shit,.

usa has a far grater problem of patriotism where its unpatriotic to criticize war or it would be unpatreotic to not have flags all over the place. in uk most people couldn't give a shit about flags and are hardly proud of britain thay just see it as a place thay happen to be living in at a point in time. and this is also the view of many Europeans. still as i say uk has done more than its fair shaire of shit to the world the piont is a good proportion of people in england know this and are not proud of it. where as in usa people are largely ignorant to the countries foghen policy.

yah it would be made clear that its outside of the democratic process. i dont see a problem if its isolated from the rest of the sift siting at the top of the website. the point is is that if u don't like it it would only cos you a small amount to replace it . if you wanted to you could buy credit in balk say its USD5 to get 5 points allowing you to change the video 5 times.

the problem with power points and these other systems is thay are inbeded within the website and really the majority of users just don't care ore don't get it, in some ways my idea is still needlessly complicated, u need something that monatises users that really don't care what the sift is because that's the majority of people that come on the site. evan though there is a good core community i don't know if there would be an affective way to monatise them all , as you would probably need $30 of everyone to make a significant amount of money from them.

how about a video sift tv typ web page where it automatically streams the highest voted content clip buy clip maby there would be some way to paint this with adverts so that it can generate a significant CPM ?

you could lock down the whole site and force everyone to pay 3USD to access it lol.

who cares u cnt live without food and u cnt get food without mony

Well after a small amount of research it appears that the nazies used Carbon monoxide as well as cyanide. so there goes his large chimney and and sealed room theory ore at minimum his necessity for it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_chamber

"homosexuals, physically and mentally disabled, and intellectuals. In early 1940, the use of hydrogen cyanide produced as Zyklon B was tested on 250 Roma children from Brno at the Buchenwald concentration camp.[4] On September 3, 1941, 600 Soviet POWs were gassed with Zyklon B at Auschwitz camp I; this was the first experiment with the gas at Auschwitz.[5]
One of the destroyed crematoria at Auschwitz concentration camp

Carbon monoxide was also used in large purpose-built gas chambers. The gas was provided by internal combustion engines (detailed in the Gerstein Report).[6]"


"The gas chamber at Auschwitz I was reconstructed after the war as a memorial, but without a door in its doorway and without the wall that originally separated the gas chamber from a washroom. The door that had been added when the gas chamber was converted into an air raid shelter was left intact.[10]"

In all fairness saying that Jews didn't die in the holocaust based of of the evidence is not antisemitism.

this guy might be a racist ore whatever in reality i don't know.but from this video you cannot know and everything he says in this video is fine, if in fact you cannot prove that there were any gas chambers then that's not racism to say people were not gassed. you would have to check the sources he sights and then present to him sources that prove otherwise , in fact the interviewer dose a disservice to the audience in not actually presenting counter evidence.

What i think is sad regardless of who died and in what numbers the fact is that a bunch of people were killed. I don't see why its important if it was Jews ore not, u don't need to know and in realty alot of gays disabled and many other people died so who cares.

U don't need to know in order to avoid killing people in the future and repeating history as any idiot knows its not good to kill people/groups of people for whatever reason.

what is it with people asking shit questoins EVERY LECTURE/TALK I watch ore go to. You always have idoits asking questoins, only 5% of questoins asked are ever good useful questoins the rest could all be anserd with common sence ore reading the speakers books. Your almost bound to get some F**k wit who thinks its an opportunity to try and establish themselves as if anyone gives a sh*T.

Humm there is no evidence that games can make people less rational, not anny more so than TV ,film, books, listning to a fictoinal story.

I'm suprized that sum one of denial Dennets intellect would fall for a socially induced (and non evidential) opinion. also to make his point films would probably be a better example as they are more culturally known than games. (again i don't think there is any evidence that films alone can make you irrational) but films would be a better more viable false example than to use games.

also we seem to have a idiotic audience who found things that wernot really that funny halarouse. When the more appropriate response would probably be a smurk ore a smile, (not saying how people should react but i can garentee that these people would not laff to the same exstent at comparable jokes in other situatoins. it was onyl the fact that thay bum DD that thay thought his jokes were oh so funny)

>rant over <


Good talk nice use of humor and some interesting concepts.

can he nit go anywhere like on his own? presumably this was an arranged event and what have you. what happens if he just wants to pop to the shops is this possible ore would it be to much of a risk that he would get shot ?

would really suck to not be able to walk around freely and just do every day boring stuff on your own.

In reply to this comment by 8727:
i've always doubted this idea that people think in words, i don't feel like i do


just thought id msg u as i was watching an old clip and noticed u comment
i reply with this ,

" "8727" the thinking in words thing is not important as language just refers to the thought process , comunicatoin wether that be internal comunicatoin within your own brain of concepts you are aware of . ore wether that be the comunicatoin of those conspets in sounds, ore images."


from wiki

Language is a term most commonly used to refer to so called "natural languages" — the forms of communication considered peculiar to humankind. In linguistics the term is extended to refer to the type of human thought process which creates and uses language. Essential to both meanings is the systematic creation and usage of systems of symbols —each referring to linguistic concepts with semantic or logical or otherwise expressive meanings.

also as i understand it some people supposedly think in words and others in visuals. I'm undecided as to what i believe.
