Monday Game Spotlight (8/6/12) - Siren: Blood Curse

Hiya!

   Time for another Monday Game Spotlight, and this time it's on the game Siren: Blood Curse, or Siren: New Translation in Japan; which is a survival horror game developed for the Playstation 3 by Project Siren (a development team of SCE Japan Studio) and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the third installment of the Siren series, but it can easily be played without playing the previous games of the series.

   Here's the first video in a Let's Play by AestheticGamer:

   Have fun watching, I know I did; and with that I conclude today's Monday Game Spotlight.

Kagamine Rin & Kagamine Len - Migikata no Chou

Hiya!

   Today i found a very catchy Japanese song sung by the Vocaloids Kagamine Rin & Kagamine Len titled 'Migikata no Chou'. The video of it I saw also intrigued me because it was a live performance... and I hadn't realized that we had holograms that sophisticated. Anyways here's the video, enjoy:

   I also plan on doing song spotlights on Sundays, just like the Monday game spotlights, so that should prove to be interesting.

Runecraft

Hiya!

   Sorry I haven't posted recently, I've been pretty busy. Today, I wanted to showcase one of my favorite plugins for multiplayer Minecraft called 'Runecraft' by SuperLlama. In short, Runecraft is a SMP plugin for both Vanilla and Bukkit servers that allows you to build patterns with blocks that have different magical effects, with strengths based on the materials used. Some of these effects are spectacular, like the Faith Rune which moves a large sphere of earth up into the air, leaving a crater behind; whilst some are more practical, like the Water Pick Rune, which cools lava directly adjacent to a mined block into obsidian, or the Recall Rune which returns you to the location that it was activated at with the swing of an item.

   I have found nearly endless uses for this plugin, and have had many occasions where Runecraft was the only way to accomplish a build. For all of you Redstone people out there, linking a Redstone Torch to a Phase Block Rune, and then using one of the many ways of Automation, you can send a wireless Redstone signal in many different ways. One thing that drives many users to use this plugin is the Teleport and Waypoint Runes, which operate using a signature system with one block in each of the four cardinal directions. The Tier you build the main structure of the Waypoint Rune out of must be matched or surpassed by the Tier of the Teleport rune, making it inconvenient for people to break into your base (even if they knew the signature) if you built the Waypoint out of diamond blocks. Server owners and admins will appreciate that you can configure a large amount of things in this plugin, including the option to have to activate an Initiation Rune in order to use the plugin at all, and has Permission modules for each Rune, as well as an in-game rune that allows the changing of the configuration files without access tot he file itself, which required bedrock to create.

   Those interested in the different Runes in this plugin can go to http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Mods/Runecraft for a regularly updated Rune list, with effects, pictures, and descriptions. Ctri the Runecrafter (http://www.youtube.com/user/CtritheRunecrafter) is an incredibly experienced Runecrafter, and makes many tutorials, showcases, and advanced instructions on this plugin. For any more information check his YouTube channel linked above.

   I have been a long-time user of this plugin and give it the highest praise. Thank you for your time.

Back in Action, as well as a Puzzle

Hiya!

   I am very glad to say that I am back into blogging, and will be doing daily blogs from here on out. Most of it will be gaming, that's a given for people like me, but will have some variance depending on what i find on the interwebz.
   I will also soon be starting my own YouTube channel, from which I will post all new videos here as well. Today's video is about a secret society that I am in. By 'secret society' I mean a society that keeps a secret. The society is known as "The Secret Society of the Petals Around the Rose". Some of you may have heard of it, other's not so much, but it's an interesting challenge.

Here's a video by cubehamster proposing the challenge:

As well as myself solving that challenge:

   It was a very interesting challenge, and took me about a half hour to solve. Do not post the answer in the comments, it will simply be deleted. Good Luck.

Cya!

Monday Game Spotlight (7/30/12) - Yume Nikki

Hiya!

   I decided to start of my blogging with something I like to call "Monday Game Spotlight". Today's game is titles 'Yume Nikki', and is a game in which you travel through the main character (I can only assume she's named Yume Nikki)'s dreams, and explore to find various effects; which are displayed as different outfits. These effects can be used in other locations to open up new areas.

   AestheticGamer did a wonderful job in his Let's Play of this game, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

   And with that I conclude today's Monday Game Spotlight, and the first post on my blog.

Cya!
