PAXEAST ʻ11 BYOC Minecraft Creative Server
Thatʻs a ridiculously long subject line =)
So as some people have seen (and many have tweeted/emailed/texted me) my epic Twisp and Catsby recreation in Minecraft made the front page of penny-arcade.com *girlish squeals of delight!*
And I was going to postpone posting this till I had finished my pset but I guess thatʻs not happening till I get this out of my head. I basically spent this ENTIRE PAX sitting in BYOC first crafting Twisp and Catsby then crafting my masterpiece. Iʻve got pictures of both and video of the second so have a gander =) OH, and I won a bunch of computer parts for the Twisp and Catsby (along with a medal!) so I guess Iʻm building myself a custom gaming rig this summer, and with a 1200W powersupply itʻs gonna be epic!
So yes, behold my obsession:
Twisp and Catsby Minecraft Sculpture
Friday's Sculpture - 13 hours to Build
Reference Comic:
International Space Station Minecraft Sculpture
Saturday's Sculpture - 15 hours to Build with the wonderful contre and enzoid doing a ridiculous amount of menial labour to get it done for me =)
I call this a not-to-scale replica of the International Space Station with chunk of earth beneath =)
So yes, two days at a LAN party and I spend the whole time playing Minecraft =) I was atleast able to rope a couple people into my insanity, and Iʻm inordinately pleased with what I produced in a short amount of time with absolutely no forethought.
