So we played a little more Minecraft today when I say 'We' I mean my fellow bloggers and friends, Jennwee and Kirstwee :)

Sooo back to Minecraft, what's new? Well I've built a nether portal, found some horse armor, tamed and bred 4 little doggies (One of them I called Charlie, and the other was called Rhino) we also have 3 puppies that we haven't named yet, because we've ran out of name tags :(

Any suggestions for names for the puppies?

I constantly seem to get lost in Minecraft so frequently dig up to get myself to normal ground, but when I tried this today, I went head first straight into a lava pit... Nice!

Ooh ooh ooh and did I tell you that I found more diamond today? I decided to dig underneath some lava and found another 11 bits, bringing our total to somewhere near 20 pieces of diamond woohoo!

Also I'd just like to say that visiting the Nether is something that I find emotionally draining, it's the scariest place in Minecraft, and there's so many nasty things there that it just makes you want to cry... having said that I did steal some nice goodies from chests in the Nether Fortress so that's worth some bonus points.

If you want my opinion, stay well clear of the nether :)

P.S. Thanks Angie Beardmore, for saying nice things about my blog :) I do try xoxox

Minecraft - Awesome Seed...

Sundays are for resting, putting your feet up and chilling out right? WRONG! Sundays are for playing Minecraft of course, and this Sunday that is just what we did.

I haven't actually played the game since the back end of last year and a lot has changed since then, and they have horses now! #Raisethehoof, so I'm super happy about that!

The first thing we did was do a little google search to find a seed that we could find some horses in, because apparently if you start the game on a random seed, then it's a lot harder to find them, so we did cheat a little bit, but we stumbled across an awesome seed!

The seed is 'toycatu19' for those of you who might not have heard of seeds, a seed is basically a starting point of your Minecraft world, some seeds offer different scenery and structures, so every seed is different in some shape or form.

When we started playing this Seed, we were spawned next to a lava pool, a bonus chest and some pumpkin heads, we then thought we would start a mine and dig downwards...

Within the first 10-15 minutes I found Coal, Redstone, Iron and Gold, after a further 10 minutes and stumbling across bedrock, I then found diamond, and we then went on to find emeralds also! How awesome is that, 30 minutes of mining and we have already found diamonds and emeralds! This seed is definitely worth a try!

I also managed to find and destroy two skeleton spawners and found some awesome items in the bonus chests including; diamond horse armor, name tags, enchanted books, Saddles and much much more!

We've only played this seed for about 4 hours this evening all in all, and it's probably one of the best seeds I've played on, in terms of loot and i'm well set on level 30 to kick this games ass!

I'm really excited to announce that I've also learned how to fish in Minecraft today (simple things in life) I bet you're all sitting there thinking what the heck?! this is like so 2012, sorry I don't really play much, but I'm now re-addicted.

I'll keep you posted with updates from our world :-)

COD AW - New Level/Update #2...

Good afternoon, I played a little Call of Duty Advanced Warfare last night as I wasn't tired and wanted to get to the next prestige level.

I've always said that I'm not the best COD player, but what really pulls me away from the game is getting private messages, such as the one I got last night from someone saying 'Thanks for doing nothing'

Well I'm sorry that I don't choose to spend my full day playing COD, or have as much time to devote into becoming a great player as you do, I play COD as often or as little as I like, and just because I don't fit into your 'Elite' crew of great players, please don't try and blame me for loosing the game, if I was such a bad player, then where were you? I seem to remember me being on my own for most of the match...

This really bugs the hell out of me when stuff like this happens grrrr! OK sorry, rant over...

I did eventually get some good games going last night, it normally takes me 2 or 3 matches to get into the game, and ended up frequently having lots of kills, my personal best for today was 30 Kills, 8 Deaths - Go me! lol

I have now advanced to Prestige Level 5 in game, I love the calling card and emblem, but I was a little disappointed as you don't earn any cool items for getting to Prestige 5 (Oh well) but the symbol for 5th prestige is pretty cool...

5th Prestige Emblem

On the subject of Prestiges in COD AW, I talked briefly about an update patch that went out not so long ago, which included the ability to buy advanced supply drops, aside from the poor reviews of the items in those supply drops, there has also been 15 new prestige levels added to the game bringing the total up to a massive 30 prestige levels, Each emblem is the same as before, but is known as 'Master Prestige' and you also get shiny gold emblems to show off on your calling cards!

Once you've mastered the second set of prestige levels, you take the coveted title of 'Grand Master Prestige' ooooooh sexy!

It has also been confirmed that once you enter the Master Prestige levels, your challenges and operations do not reset, making it a lot easier to get that crucial XP... BONUS!!

Moreover you can earn exclusive Royalty loadout items (pictured below), and what's even better is that after each Master Prestige level you get to, you can earn prestige weapon loot, so basically you get a free Elite weapon which includes some of the best elite weapons in the game (I might add)... I'm nowhere near that stage yet, but I'm #EXCITED. (You can't get the AK12 R,I,P though, slightly disappointed but hey ho)

COD AW - Clan Wars & Clan Raids...

So I've talked about our clan RHN being level 22 now and I was searching and searching to find out how many levels our clan could go up to, and what rewards we can reep.

Something I haven't quite found out yet, is how much clan xp you earn and when... so I'm going to keep looking :)

So here is a list of the rewards you can earn from clan level progression:

Clan Level	Rewards
1	Clan Background
2	2XP
3	Clan Background
4	Clan Background
5	Calling Card
6	Clan Background/2XP
7	Clan Background
8	Calling Card
9	Clan Background
10	Gold Tag/2XP
11	Clan Background
12	Calling Card
13	Clan Background
14	Clan Background
15	Calling Card
16	Clan Background/2XP
17	Clan Background
18	Calling Card
19	Clan Background
20	Clan Background
21	Clan Background/2XP
22	Clan Background
23	Calling Card
24	Clan Background
25	Clan Background
Max	Red Tag/2XP

I'm sure you probably already knew this, but I didn't :P

So if you're not already in a clan, get in one now to earn some awesome rewards because a little bit of double XP goes a long way, and the red/golden clan tags look cool too :-)

Clan Raids

Something else coming soon are Clan Raids, this gives you the opportunity to spend your clan tokens (We have 900 in the bank) to participate in time sensitive challenges to get some great rewards, from what I can gather you participate with other clans and can earn some exclusive loadout items, which looks like the below:

The Equilibrium Set 

What's even better is, there will be a Clan Raid preview for Clans in the Diamond Division starting on 09/03/2015... Just two days away!!

If you are in a clan and competing in a clan raid, please let me know how it goes :)

The Pyramid - Movie Review...

The Pyramid Release Date - 05/12/2014
Estimated Budget: Unkown

Good morning all sorry I didn't post anything else yesterday, thought I'd give you a rest from one of my rants for a couple of seconds.

My post today is about a movie I watched last night called the Pyramid. 

Image Source: IMDb

It's basically a story about a team of archeologists who discover a 3 sided pyramid underground, I mean the prospect of a 3-sided pyramid is daft enough in my opinion. 

So a team of diggers cracks it open and a huge explosion of toxic gas entails, leaving the guy for dead. 

This is their first warning, they shouldn't have carried on. 

Because of this the team are told not to carry on, but decide to send a Mars Rover inside to make sure their hard work is not for nothing. 

The rover is damaged by cat-like creatures so they go on a rescue mission to go and get this rover (which happens to be on loan from NASA) when they reach the robot, it is damaged and in pieces, and what do they do carry on the search for the rest of the robot. 

This pyramid turns out to be a prison for something that has been living there for centuries, and has a mixture of booby traps, dead ends, and a labyrinth of mystery. 

Will they ever escape the pyramid? 

I know the answer, but you'll have to watch it to find out! 

On another note the only actor of note in this movie is James Buckley (Jay from the Inbetweeners) he now has a beard, and plays the part of a scared funny guy, it's still hard to take him seriously in a kind of serious movie.

It's still worth a watch though, as even though it's classified as a horror, it's not scary, just a bit jumpy in places.

Further Storyline (IMDb)

"A team of U.S. archaeologists unearths an ancient pyramid buried deep beneath the Egyptian desert. As they search the pyramid's depths, they become hopelessly lost in its dark and endless catacombs. Searching for a way out, they become desperate to seek daylight again. They come to realize they aren't just trapped, they are being hunted".

Enjoy your day :) 

My Movie Rating:

And Then There Were 10 (Rabbits)...

Good morning all, today is a sad day as we had to say goodbye to one of our little furry friends, he/she has been given away to a lovely home who's going to take care of him/her, there's 11 white rabbits sitting on a wall, and if 1 white rabbit should be given away then there's 10 white rabbits sitting on the wall, hmmmm doesn't have the same ring to it.

Here's a picture of him/her in his/her little box and with some nibbles to keep him I'm gonna go for him, to keep Mr Baby Rabbit occupied in the back of the car.

Byyyyeee and have fun in your new house :P

On the way back from dropping Mr Rabbit off, there was a lovely sunset that we saw, the below picture doesn't really do it justice to be honest with you, it's a 'you had to be there moment' it's times like these that you need to have an SLR camera with you (which I don't own) lol...

You might see me later on today, who knows :)

Evening Foodies...

I read somewhere that posting 3-5 blog posts a day with different content can dramatically increase the amount of exposure my blog gets (I'm using this as an excuse, because I'm addicted to making blog posts)

I wanted to share one more thing with you today before I went to bed, and that is my lovely evening meal (dinner) that I devoured earlier on, if you're hungry (or a vegetarian) look away now...

This is called the Mill High Burger, and comes with 2 beef burgers, each layered with a slice of bacon and cheese, and placed neatly into a soft flour topped white bun, served with Rocket salad and a vinaigrette dressing, home cooked chips, onion rings and homemade coleslaw.

There's not one thing I would change about this meal, and it is very very filling, this is somewhere I would definitely go again, and all this only cost £8.45. Great price, great atmosphere, great food, the full package.
