Site Update: Post footer now contains Relevant Posts, based on Labels, and direct Reddit This Buttons

Or simply Scroll Down :D

So you can browse while you browse, and reddit while you reddit. Or something like that. Either way it took me nearly 6 hours to set everything up, seen as how I'm a noob at CSS. : P

The Related Posts are selected based on their relevance to the Labels in the post that you're currently reading.

The Reddit This button will send you to the Submit Link page on Reddit, and it will also automatically fill in the link with the URL of the page you were on. You will of course be able to change anything about your submission before it is posted. So the button will only appear below a post, if you're reading a particular page, and not when you're on the homepage of the blog. A larger Reddit This button is on the side-bar and will appear and work on every page, including the Front Page.

So I hope you like the small changes, and don't forget to like/follow/subscribe to stay up to date with the blog. : )

Second Update to the Minecraft Series Coming Today

Later today I'm going to be doing the second update on the Minecraft Series. I've got some ideas based on movies, especially Von Trier, so I hope you'll enjoy where this is going. A friend of mine also has a Minecraft Server set up, so we might figure out something to do with that too. I'm particularly interested in Minecraft Machinima. 


I've also been watching some movies recently, that I'd like to review. I've been taking a short break from blogging yesterday, but expect more updates later today and tomorrow. :)

Coffee with Minecraft: an Update

Now, Minecraft is a game I used to be majorly addicted to when I started out. Nowadays I don't play as much, and generally I like to play around in Creative mode, building mob traps and such for the fun of it. I'm thinking though since it's a good platform to knock ones self out with creativity, and since I've wanted to start a youtube channel to complement the blog, I'd like to start with a series on Minecraft. So I wanted to ask you what would you like to see in a Minecraft series. 



I'll leave you to think about it with this amazing ASCII art of a creeper I've just made:

Sunday Mellow Top 23: No Harsh Allowed!

Ok, let me break the fourth wall for you for a minute. I'm a smoker. I smoke about 15-20 cigarettes a day. That's on a happy day. On a not-so-happy day I need my nicotine like Godzilla needs its skyscraper-smash. 


Today is: 
1st: Not a happy day.
2nd: I am out of cigarettes.

So, you may ask yourselves, my fellow readers: Wut nao??? Given that it's a Sunday and every shop in a hundred mile radius is closed, there is no hope of me getting cigarettes, till tomorrow. SO provided that I can barely think about anything without raging to high heavens, today's post will simply be a list of my all time favourite PC Games, ever. The rules are simple: 


1st: If a game comes to mind before another game it DESERVES to be higher in the list.
2nd: If a game is omitted from the list after the list is completed, it DESERVES to be out of the list. 


So without further adieu, here is my Top 'WHATEVER' List of PC Games:


1: Fallout 2
2: Half-Life: Opposing Force
2: NFS: Porsche 2000
3: Arcanum of Steamwork and Magic Obscura
4: Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction
5: World of Warcraft
6: Minecraft
7: Carmageddon 2
8: Diablo
9: Star Craft
10: Age of Empires: Age of Titans
11: Heroes 3: In the Wake of Gods
12: King's Quest: Romancing the Stones (a remake)
13: Revolt
14: Lego Racer
15: CoD: Modern Warfare
16: That One Indie Mario Re-Make That was Genuinely Fun
17: Sven: Bollocks (or whatever the title was - something in German)
18: Half-Life: Counter Strike: 1.6
19: Half-Life 2
20: Heavy Metal: FAKK
21: ONI: Bionic Something or Other 
22: uuuuhmm.... that robot guy.... Deus Ex! Yes, I got it. Does it count if I've only played the first two levels? Nobody cares past number 10 in a Tops list anyway....
23: Minesweeper - Why? Because Hell, when you get your first desk job and your PC has been scrubbed clean of everything that might be considered enjoyable, by IT. When they have removed the clip-art graphics from Microsoft Word, but then some unknown HERO OF THE AGES has left a secret folder stuck up behind fifteen layers of useless outdated memos and training protocols, containing a cracked version of Minesweeper. That's when you'll know why!

That is all.

Major Page Re-Design Coming up Soon

In the next week or two I'm planning on a Major redesign of the template, so make sure to check out the site for a nice custom graphical update. :) 


Also any ideas would be greatly appreciated on possible games and movies reviews. I'm planning on doing some book reviews too sine my 90s experience involved quite a lot of reading, especially Terry Pratchett, Dune, etc. 


Lots of love and feel free to post your ideas on 90s Silicon Dreams :Facebook and/or DaveNatan (T.Dean): Twitter
