I've finished doing a bunch of work on the lighthouse AND New Gullonia, and have begun the mega-village out in that area. Just wanted to share a pretty view at night :D

Did some work on the Spawn Courthouse offices, just thought I'd include an image of some of the offices :D

So I finally finished the spawn theater. When Porjos decided to revamp spawn, he really stressed "no cobblestone rectangles, and not everyone make an apartment/hotel." So, I kept that in mind, and as this is a center for performing arts, I made it fairly abstract.

Just to be clear, this is the "Surfrock66 Center for Fine Art, Performance, Opera, and Orchestration." That's a big name, so for short, call it the "F.Art P.O.O."

Many of you probably remember audr09, our favorite admin-turned-griefer that eventually got banned, but then became the first member to get "tarded." He pops in every once in a while to say hi, and came on the other night and clearly confessed to his deeds. Here's his tale, in his own words!

Now this is what I call The Word of Notch. The man himself gives a quick, 8 minute tour of some of the changes we can expect in the 1.8, which we can expect in the next couple of weeks:

Of course creative mode is back and we get a quick look at that. There are some huge improvements. For single-player mod lovers, it might look a lot like survival mode with Too Many Items and Single Player Commands installed, as far as full "creative" access to world editing but with more of a "living, breathing" world to inhabit than the relatively sterile (and now defunct) classic mode.

And although it's "The Adventure Update" we don't say good bye to survival. But there are changes and tweaks. Check out the video and decide for yourself what kind of potential the new terrain and combat features have got for your Minecraft experience. But why are you listening to me? You're not still reading this are you? There's a video up there with a Let's Play Minecraft 1.8 hosted by Notch in it, for corn's sake. Why have you not clicked on it?
