If you play on my server YAMS (Yet Another Minecarft Server) please remember to read the latest info here:
http://www.darrenstraight.com/minecraft/index.php?/topic/910-07092011-yams-and-minecraft-beta-18-adventure-update

I will update the server to 1.8 as soon as bukkit is released and I’ve had time to implement it with the correct plugins. :)

I’ve watched it a couple of times over now and will probbaly do so again. I love the part at the begging asking for items to be spawned and I love how the music fits in very well with the video. The music is the kind of music I sometimes have playing when I do events like this as though I’m the only one who can hear it, it just adds to the feeling.

Keep it up Grindboy, thanks a million for getting this done! :)

“not to fail and to keep this regularly updated as much as possible”

During this time I have certainly learnt that keeping a blog regularly updated is quite a task, not only do I have to find the time to post but I also have to make sure that the content is unique and note worthy of a post. Videos and photos certainly help with this, though sometimes it’s the raw data that’s the most interesting. Like my top 10 search key phrases posts.

This blog has helped me connect socially on a whole new level and has recently helped me promote my Minecraft Server YAMS (Yet Another Minecraft Server) to what it is today, a flourished community with people from all ages and origins.

It’s been great to see how the YAMS community can be brought together, here’s a video posted by ProFoundJed, which is gives of such good spirit within the community.

Well that’s all for now – I’m going to post a blog post in a minute with all the YAMS Videos I can find that people have uploaded! :-)
