I feel that it's my duty to make a big deal about it. That's why I'm lying and promising a cloth map.

Games » Minecraft coming November 11, 2011

Mojang's popular blocks-n-stuff building game Minecraft will finally see release this year. Notch announced on his blog today a release date of November 11, 2011, which is of course the same date as some other high-profile products such as the Dreamcast 2. But of course Minecraft is the most important of them all.

And don't forget, Minecraft will remain on sale for 25% off for the duration of the Beta. When this baby hits on November 11, you're going to see some serious full-price shit. So buy now if you want the discount and cloth map*, or wait until November 11 if you want to put more dirty money in Notch's wallet. The choice is yours!

*Cloth map not included

Games » Tested.com 1/2 Official Minecraft Server (For the MC FreeWeekend)

@JKS1518: I hope so! I really like jumping from the highest point in the world, landing on bedrock, and then running off unharmed. If fixing multiplayer means that option will no longer be available, I will be very disappointed.

Inventory seems fine, but chests also appear to cause crashes.

Notch has a new blog up about tomorrow's update. Looks to be another good one, and it includes some multiplayer fixes. Yay!
 
It also contains an explanation for that birthday message on the title screen, but I won't spoil the surprise. ;)

Anyone want to join my new band "Testacles and the Testes"?
 
I vote yes for moving the spawn and continuing to use the existing server. There's still a vast uncharted world of biomes and other cool stuff out there.

Games » Minecraft Halloween Update!

More information from PC Gamer!
Oh God. As if Minecraft wasn’t terrifying enough, its creator Notch has just sent us screens and info about a new monster type he’s adding in the Minecraft Halloween Update on October 31st. The Ghasts are flying cuboid jellyfish that shoot fireballs at you, blowing chunks out of the world around you and setting it on fire. Luckily, they’re only found in hell. And Notch has told us exactly how to get there, why you’d want to go, and how portals to this new dimension are built. Here are the details, along with two exclusive shots.

Please Help! » Programs treating INTERNET EXLPORERRRRRRRRRRRR as default browser

The browser shown as your browser in Windows XP's start menu isn't necessarily the default browser. You can choose a different start menu browser independently of the default. What does Windows say your default browser is when you go into "Set Program Access and Defaults"? Choose Chrome there and it should set it as the default properly.

General Discussion » Whiskey Media wiki and quests on Tested

@Majkiboy: Quests can be completely avoided if you wish. I experimented with a custom stylesheet to hide quest-related stuff on Giant Bomb. It seems to work well enough, although I never completed it. If there is actually indeed for such a stylesheet, I could make some more improvements to it and ensure that it works for all the Whiskey Media sites.

General Discussion » proposing a new category in the forums

@householdutensils said:
" @MahmoudHossam: Hacking? Though it's kinda cliche, it does sort of describe the creative "make stuff" idea. Maybe Software and Hardware sub forums under that? "
Hacking is kind of ambiguous, and could lead to interpretations that are not desirable. Also, the concept of subforums don't exist in the Whiskey software, they are all top-level.

" @will: Is there an ETA on the wiki for Tested? I feel that this would be the wiki I could contribute the most to! "

I asked Dave about this in the Giant Bomb chat after today's live show:
LordAndrew: How is the Tested wiki coming along? I noticed Jeff has one point, so naturally I'm pretty excited. XD
snide: @LordAndrew I'm pretty excited about the Tested wiki, but we're just now starting to think about it hardcore
 
So it seems they're starting to think about it hardcore now.

Please Help! » Is there a way to log in to Testd without using the login window?

@MattyFTM said:
" Also, I wonder what would happen if you tried to create a user with the username "login"? Since profile pages are at tested.com/profile/username , I'd guess it would either break the internets, or return an error message saying the username is taken. "
My guess is it would do the same thing that happens if you create a wiki page with a name that's already used by the software; allowing creation of the account but then being unable to access the profile. Which is of course not good.

Games » Nintendo announces the 3DS? (Your move, Sony.)

@Emandudeguyperson: And I don't give a fuck whether you care. I find the notion that any platform should have at least twenty games you want to play completely ridiculous. Why would you need that many? It doesn't have to be your only system. 
 
And it's unlikely that that they'd get rid of the touch screen that's been working so well for them so far, especially considering
a) it's codenamed 3DS, a name that suggests some relation to the DS
b) they've already stated it's backward compatible with DS games.
