Minecraft Error “at jg.a(SourceFile:29)”

Hey, just an FYI since I could not find the solution to this problem on any Minecraft forum anywhere. My server started freaking out earlier this week after updating minecraft_server.jar to beta version 1.4. It would just repetaedly spit out…

Dragon Age II

I like Dragon Age’s flavor: It’s high fantasy, but it has a small twist. Dwarves aren’t your run of the mill tolkienesque dwarves (I mean, some of them lack beards!) and the elves as a whole aren’t your standard tall…

Minecraft: Log Cabin

We constructed a nice living room on the second floor of base 3 last night (overlooking the library). The original intention was to make it a bedroom, but the space we dug out was awkwardly large. Also, I really wanted…

Musings: Minecraft & the DA2 Demo

Rant: Final Fantasy

This post is a long unstructured rant. Read at your own peril. Square Enix is the poster-child and public choice whipping boy for the decline of Japanese RPG (JRPG) popularity, and I would be hard pressed not to agree. To…

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is to Assassin’s Creed II as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is to Grand Theft Auto: III. That is, better and more polished in almost every way, but not a true successor to the series and not…

The Logitech G13 Gamepad

Edit: My WoW configuration is posted here if anyone is intersted. Just a little background: I have been using the Belkin n52te and its predecessor the n52 for a number of years. It’s a great device, great functionality, pretty decent…
