Hey there. This is just a short announcement.
We might hardly be posting stuff on this blog from tomorrow to the end of May, as we have tons of work to do and we have to concentrate on studying, so just to let you know, we are not abandoning the website.
But stay tuned, because after the end of May, the blog will be very active! We will have tons of post and stuff for you, and errmmm...we will still stick to posting about the usual stuff we usually feature (Minecraft, Star Wars, Dumbness etc.)
So, your support will always be appreciated for this amateur website but we will be very busy for a while.
Yours dumbly,
The Dumb Kid's Stuff

Young Bob & Eric Episode 1
Hey dudes, this is our first episode in a new video series we should be creating!
In this episode, we show you that Eric was FAT as a young boy, but Eric stranded him on a deserted island and he lost 10kg (please don't try that)! So, in Dumb Kid's Shorts and other deleted videos, he is as fit as a fiddle, well maybe.
Anyway starving is definitely NOT a good idea, this video is just a joke.

Name Change
Hey once again, here is a change we have been thinking about for about a week and we have finally decided to do it - change our blog name.
We realised our blog's former name (The Dumb Kid's Amazing Blogging & Video Website) was too long and too hard for people too say, so we decided to shorten it lolz. Now our blog is officially named The Dumb Kid's Stuff.
And we also decided that we wanted a logo change - we wanted a real logo, and that was something we thought of for a long time. We scribbled and used up quite a few pages in our ideas book and we finally thought of something that does not require copying anything from the Internet.
So here is our new logo, made using PowerPoint:
 |
| (this is our first attempt of the logo, actually) |
With a new blog name, The Dumb Kid's Stuff, and even a logo, I hope it will make the site look less beginner-rish and make the name of the blog easier to write and say. Anyway, we are still beginners, learning from the bigger sites.
But this is definitely not a full-time website we do, we still have to go to school and study!
*If you find our new logo unattractive and dull, feel free to tell us, we will definitely try to make the changes you want.

Lego CUUSOO
So, where did the Lego Minecraft Micro World set come from? Well, from Lego CUUSOO!
1. Brainstorm!
You got some idea? Create a Lego CUUSOO account, (fake your age maybe) post your idea and obviously post a picture of your creation, and get those supporters comin' if you are lucky!
2. 10 000 Supporters, Amazing!
Wow! So was your idea good enough, was it? If you get 10 000 supporters, Lego will review your project, and you will probably wait for a term before you find out your idea's fait, though Lego is quite strict about their products, I think.
3. A Lego Set, Money!
If you are really that lucky and your project passes the review, you will get 1% of the total net sales of your Lego set, wow. So basically if your product earns $1 Million, you will earn
$10 000! How are you going to split the money?
So, if you want to make your own Lego Set come true like the Lego Minecraft Micro World, why don't you submit your idea now, and advertise it later, heheh. Here is the Lego CUUSOO website: www.lego.cuusoo.com
Lego CUUSOO is this website where people post ideas for Lego sets, and once an idea reaches 10 000 supporters, Lego will consider it, though Lego's conditions are very strict.
So how exactly does Lego CUUSOO work?

Title Update 9 Review: Minecraft (Xbox)
Title Update 9 was just released today, we just played it, and here's a review from us. Heehee, enjoy.
The first thing that you realise that is different when you go back into a Creative Mode world, is that they added Spawn Eggs. I love this feature, and I believe you do too! It gives a much easier way to spawn mobs in the Xbox 360 Edition and I am glad that they added it in this update.
The Xbox's simple and easy-to-use Creative interface makes spawn eggs easily found. All you need to do is to click LT while holding a spawn egg and the mob appears.
Another great feature available in TU9 is The End. I believe 4J Studios has put in a lot of effort into this, and the feel of The End is even better and darker on the TV Screen while playing on the Xbox.
You are on the edge of your seat when you try defeating the Ender Dragon. It shoots Ender Acid, a new feature only on the Xbox 360 Edition and it is a LOT more fun on the TV screen, it is purely amazing.
And instead of showing end credits after you kill the Ender Dragon and when you are about to head back to the Overworld, it shows you an amazingly long typed-out dialogue of two 'gods'. It is an awesome experience for first-timers like me, and that's The End for you Xbox players.
Even though there are these new amazing features, there is an outrageous set-back. There is a bug that does not allow you to go back to your previously saved worlds.
That makes the Xbox 360 Edition like Minecraft PE Lite, where you cannot even save worlds and look at your previous creations. 4J Studios should really do something about it within 2 weeks; it is a horrid bug indeed.
NOT THAT TYPE OF BUG YOU NOOB!!! LAGGING...CRASHING, THOSE BUGS!!!
That's all we will specifically cover on as they are the 2 most significant features and the one most significant bug in the update, but here are the other features:
Changes and Additions
- Added Climbable Vines.
- Added Fire Charge, Wooden Button, Item Frames, Sandstone Stairs, Spruce Stairs, Birch Stairs, Nether Bricks, Spruce Planks, Birch Planks, Nether Brick Slab, Spruce Slab and Birch Slab.
- Added new music for The End and The Nether from C418
- Made buckets and signs stackable.
- Sheep now re-grow their wool after shearing.
- New gravel texture.
- Can now smelt Netherrack into a Nether Brick in a Furnace.
- Blacksmith buildings in Villages now hold chests with loot of the same type as found in Strongholds.
- Crafting recipe change - Sign recipe gives three Signs.
- Crafting recipe change - Half Slab recipes give six Half Slabs.
- Crafting recipe change - Stone Button now requires one block of stone instead of two.
- Added smoother color transitions between biomes.
- Added beaches to terrain generation.
- Fence Gates can now be opened and closed with Redstone.
- Changed Nether Fortress to make Nether Wart rooms more likely.
- Made Nether Wart spawn randomly wherever Soul Sand is generated in the Nether.
- Nether Wart will now grow in the Overworld.
- Made Dispenser dispense mobs from Spawn Eggs, rather than the egg itself.
- Dispenser will dispense lava/water from a Bucket of Lava/Water.
- Dispenser will shoot Fire Charges.
- Trapdoors can be placed on half slabs and stairs
- Allow players to block with a sword when the ‘Can Build And Mine’ option is unchecked by the host.
- Moved six of the twelve music disc quests in the Tutorial World
- Changed the Tutorial world to add climbable Vines, and some of the new items, and removed/reduced the items in the Brewing, Farming and Breeding chests.
- Don't show the achievements warning when loading a creative map that has already been saved in creative mode.
- Reduced the volume of the Ghast sound effects.
- Increased the distance jukeboxes can be heard from.
- Improved lighting code performance.
- Improved the loading/saving time.
- Changed the display order in the Minecraft Store to show newest DLC first.
- Added How To Play for The End and Farming Animals
- Added HUD size options for both splitscreen and full screen modes.
- Added Reset Nether option to force regeneration of The Nether. This is helpful for older saves that didn't have a Nether Fortress.
- Added a toggle for Death Messages.
- Added a toggle to hide or display the animated character in the User Interface.
- Allow individual splitscreen users to have their own settings for HUD.
Fixes
- Fix for a Nether portal crash due to Ghast fireballs
- Fix for Cave Spider size.
- Fixed Experience Orb pickup sound not having pitch variance.
- Fixed a crash when attaching Glowstone to Pistons.
- Fixed a render update problem on the end of world chunks
- Fixed a crash with players throwing Enderpearls and leaving the game.
- Stop the player animation for eating happening in the Change Skin menu
So, in overall, TU9 is my favourite update in Minecraft (Xbox), which features The End, and Spawn Eggs! But it also has probably the worst bug in Minecraft XBLA history-you cannot open your previously saved worlds!
The next significant Minecraft update coming out is the 0.7.0 update for the Pocket Edition, which should feature online multiplayer (servers!) and buckets.

A Good Week for Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition Players
Hi, once again. We have some great news for Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition players. Title Update 9 for the Xbox is out on Friday April 5, which is this week! It was officially posted on 4J Studio's Twitter, so we are not kidding you, because TU9 passed the Microsoft Cert Test.
The highlights for TU9 Minecraft Xbox that we think are relevant are
-The End
-Spawn Eggs
-Climbable Vines
The rest of the features in the update are quite minor to everyone, so we will not talk about them.
We don't have to much time today, so that's all for today guys. Bye and remember to update your Xbox Edition Minecraft on Friday!
