How to: Splitscreen Mutiplayer on Minecraft Xbox

Observe the following and you will get something like this!

That was the one question on my mind today: how on earth do I set up splitscreen mutiplayer on Minecraft Xbox? Well, all the websites I went to for help were useless in my case so I figured it out myself after numerous trials and errors.

Before I get started, please note that you must have an Xbox connected to a HDTV in order to use splitscreen mutiplayer on Minecraft Xbox. And by saying that, I mean it.

Now let's get started, shall we? Observe the following or else you won't get anywhere.

On your Xbox 360...

1. Go to the Settings hub and then select System
2. Select Console Settings
3. Select Display
4. Change your display setting to 1080i

If you are not able to do the above, that means you do not have a HDTV. Now time for the Minecraft part.

After setting your display to 1080i

1. Go into Minecraft and open a world on 1 controller only
2. Connect your 2nd controller to your Xbox 360
3. If your second controller successfully connects, your screen should say PRESS START, and do that.
4. Repeat step 3 if you want to connect more controllers (up to 4 controllers)

Sorry :-(

We're running on a seriously tight schedule and our amount of time to animate is scarce. We did promise you, but we do have a lot of other things we must complete. Sorry to let you down.

Uberstrike!

I'm on vacation now, so I can't get started on our Minecraft animation yet, but anyway here is an awesome 1st person shooter game that I've been wanting to share for ages-

Uberstrike is a first person shooter game that is online and 100% free. It's pretty addictive :-) !

What the game is all about is basically killing your enemies, which are other players in a death match, team death match or team elimination match. In the game, you will compete against real people, so this is not Halo there is no end to the game.

When you log in for the first time on Uberstrike (and download a small browser plugin), it will take a looong time to load the game but if you play often enough, loading time will be no problem for you. If you are sick of loading, you can even download Uberstrike on  Mac, Windows, Android and iPad!!!

This game even has crouching like Minecraft: Press Shift key

There is a large amount of weapons to choose from: Snipers, Splatterguns (my favourite), Swords etc. I can't say a lot more about the game than this, so what are you waiting for? Go to uberstrike.com now and shoot some friends!

Minecraft Animation & Stuff

Oh hey there! I guess you guys didn't bother to tell us what our Minecraft Animation should be about, but since we're half way through the holiday season, we had to make up our mine, so our Minecraft will be named "When Steve became a Cow".

Also, we might be changing our blog's template again in our search to find the perfect template for our blog. That's all for now and see you soon.

iOS 7 and Xbox One

We don't usually talk about tech, but here is 1 upcoming OS update and 1 upcoming gadget that we are featuring, because they affect our lives!

iOS 7

Xbox One

 Talking about the Xbox One, here is a game Xbox newbies (Xbox One players) can look forward to-

New and Deleted Stuff

If you hadn't noticed, there has been several changes to the blog over the past month (other than the new template).

Stuff we deleted

We deleted the 'About the Website' page since we now have a (rather laggy) feature content slider in front of your face the moment you open our website which shows what the blog is about.

We deleted the 'Contact Us" page as all it told you was how to comment on our blog.

Stuff we added

We added the 'Arcade Games' page, which now features classic arcade games which we played when we were very young (or when we were extremely bored).

We added the 'Give us Feedback' page, hoping that you guys will help us out by giving us feedback on The Dumb Kid's Stuff. The feedback form that we now use used to be powered by a random website, but we quickly switched to Google Drive forms as we trust Google more.

Website Showcase: MCDN360.COM

How do you find downloadable maps for the Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft? Is that even possible?
Well, it totally is possible! Just go to MCDN360.COM !

MCDN360 is an epic website that features epic Minecraft Xbox downloadable maps almost every day.

You can be guaranteed that downloads from MCDN360 are virus-free as they are all MediaFire downloads with no surveys (and MCDN360 itself is virus-free as it is a WordPress website with no creepy embedded hackers)

Other than that, we won't say a lot more. If you don't know how to download the maps in to your Xbox console, you can check out the "How to download and install Minecraft Xbox Maps" page on MCDN360.

Enjoy the epic Minecraft Xbox maps from MCDN360!

Any Ideas Guys?

We're going to upload a few Minecraft animations for you guys, but we have no idea what to write for the animations' storyboards! We need your help for ideas on what our animations should be about!

Here are some rules for the ideas:

• Ideas should not copy other YouTubers as that would be quite lame.
• No battle/fighting scenes in the ideas because we are seriously still at beginner level for animating, so leave those ideas to the future please.

So if you guys have any ideas on what our animations should be about, please leave your ideas in the comments below. Thanks for helping us a bit here :-) .

Yay! A logo for our videos!

Minecraft Updates (all versions)

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition

Let's face it, 4J Studios still has a long way to go for TU12 and the company's workers are working like robots for the fans. But 4 days ago, they posted this picture on Twitter, depicting the upcoming features that will be released in Minecraft Xbox TU12.

Did you see all the features in the amazing picture? If you didn't, here are they: redstone lamps, ocelots & cats, jungle biomes, iron golems and upside-down stairs (and slabs). The upcoming feature that you can't see in the photo is a doubled height limit (128 to 256).

Now that's the sweetest Minecraft Xbox Update of all time!

Minecraft PC Edition (1.6)


Minecraft Pocket Edition (0.7.0)
Minecraft PE players now have fire, buckets, milk, cake and eggs (gosh, still no redstone). Minecraft PE players now have to create a Mojang account and players will be able to buy servers.

0.7.0 also featured animated water, fancy skies, a farther render distance, a new main menu and 3rd person view. C'MON MINECRAFT PE CREATORS, REDSTONE PLEASE!

Game Showcase: Happy Wheels

Before we start, here are some precautions:
WARNING! 
- I believe you should be at least 10 years old to play the game.
- If you have those kind of "all video games are violent" parents, I don't think you should continue reading unless you really have the guts.
- This game that we are showcasing is highly addictive!

Let's take a break from the usual stuff today and look at other stuff apart from Minecraft & Star Wars. Here is a showcase of Jon Bonacci's Happy Wheels!

Happy Wheels is a game about, well, violence and reaching the finish line! Don't worry, the violence in the game is only fantasy violence.

In the game, players with a totaljerkface.com account can create levels up to their imagination, and anyone can play their levels. But don't worry, inappropriate images, sexual content, use of drugs and racially offensive speech are all not permitted in the game. 

The game currently consist of 12 different characters and 9 different vehicles which you can operate.

But how do you play the game? Well, I can't write that down, but here's a video from TobyGames, a.k.a Tobuscus



Anyway, if you want to play the game, you can go to totaljerkface.com and select Happy Wheels to play the full version of the game. We have been playing Happy Wheels for quite a long time and you may want to play our levels by searching the keywords dumbkidsgaming. Enjoy the game.
