New Lego Minecraft Sets: The Nether and The Village

Hello guys! I am extremely excited to announce that Lego and Minecraft decided to have a partnership!

Furthermore, at the San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that Lego is releasing 2 new Minecraft sets: The Village (21105), and The Nether (21106).

Lego Mincraft Micro World: The Village & Lego Minecraft Micro World: The Nether

Both Lego Minecraft Sets will cost US$34.99 each and will be released on 1 September 2013. As they will only have a limited supply for both sets, you have to get them quick. Well, I am going to get both of them on Amazon the moment it is September the 1st. 

I bought the original Lego Minecraft set and I loved it, and I hope these 2 rare Lego Sets are good recommendations for all you Minecraft fans.

LOL: Worst Singing EVER

It has been a long,long, LONG time since we have posted anything about dumbness, so today here are some voices to laugh your brains out at. Enjoy and don't get a stomachache.

How to Record Your PC/Mac Screen

Hello once again, I've done some research on how to record your Windows/Mac Screen for free/ with audio and I'd like to share my findings with you guys. Enjoy.

Windows

On Windows PCs, there is one great free application for screen recording that I really like: Ezvid (www.ezvid.com). Ezvid is not just a screen recording software, but it is also a video editing software, and even better, it is 100% free. I hope this video roughly teaches you how to use Ezvid.

Mac
On Mac, you have to use 2 different programs to do screen recording, QuickTime & iMovie (which are both built-in), and it's a little bit more complicated than the Windows procedure, so I shall explain this one myself.

1. Open Finder (the blue and white smiley face thing) and type in the keywords "quicktime player" in the search bar.
2. Double-click on QuickTime Player and it should appear on your dock (the thing below your screen with all the icons)
3. Right-click the QuickTime Player logo and click New Screen Recording and New Audio Recording.
4. Record your screen or whatever you're doing on it and your voice. Remember to save your screen recording.
5. Go to iMovie, open a new movie and go to File (at the top right hand corner of the screen) and click Import and search for the name of your screen recording. 
6. Then go to Finder and search for the name of your audio recording.
7. Copy and paste your audio recording to your iMovie video.

"Although it is an old guide, I still strongly advice noobs to read it as the methods in the free ebook still work and it helped me a lot." - The Dumb Kid's Stuff :-)

v1.21

BassoftheSea's Redstone Guide v1.21 is a badass and very helpful guide on Minecraft Redstone, a complicated thing in the game that noobs fail to understand.

The free ebook has received many positive remarks by its reviewers and it is very simple to read and I have it downloaded on my iPad. I strongly recommend it to you.

Redstone Guide v1.21 talks about The Basics of Redstone, The Nature of Redstone, how each Redstone item works and a few examples of the usage of well, Redstone! Sounds good to you, right?

In my opinion, learning the nature of Redstone is a lot better than watching tutorials that only teach you how to make one thing out of Redstone and/or Pistons, well isn't that right? Don't worry about how long you have to take to read it, because it is only 27 pages. Without further ado, I shall give you Redstone Guide v1.21's download links-

Read it on Minecraft Forum www.minecraftforum.net/topic/544827-redstone-guide-v121/

Tips on Building LEGO Structures

Wow........right

Here are some tips that you might want to consider when building Lego structures.

1. Be patient! Whether you are building your own Lego or following a complicated instruction sheet, you can only build and outstanding Lego structure when you have patience to place each block one by one.
2. Build your Lego sets on the floor! That way, none of your lego blocks will go flying out of the window when you take them apart using too much strength.
3. Put your Lego blocks in one fixed space! You don't want to get any blocks missing, do you?

Holiday Season Ends

This Holiday Season has been rather disappointing, as we had not done anything special during the period of the season. Well, we were busy so that's all we could write on the blog then.

But we would really appreciate it if you would continue to follow and comment on our blog; this was just a lesson we will learn from.

Apologies,
