Free Diamonds anyone?

Now I think I have mentioned that I am big Minecrafter. I have recently been truly enamoured by the little mod pack called Tekkit. If you don't know about this, where have you been, if you don't have it, then you are a fool, and if you don't know where to get it, then open your eyes. (Only joking, you can get it on the Technic pack website).

So the great thing about this is that it adds so much more to Minecraft it is incredible. I don't even know how to use all of the things it gives you, and I have been playing it for a good 3 months now! It essentially adds everything which has been invented in the real world by scientists in funny outfits and funny hairdos in the past 200 years in 1 mod pack. You can create power, electricity, engines, machines, quarries and pretty much anything you want to. It will automate absolutely everything there is to do in Minecraft, and so much more!

Once you have gone Tekkit, you can't go back!

Now here is the thing, there is also a mod included called equivalent exchange, or EquivX to all those in the trade. This is one of the best mods ever made. It basically brings alchemy into Minecraft  Now I am not a fan of magic games and things like that. I have never even been near a potion in the game and I don't really understand what the XP points are, but this mod assigns every item with a value, known as EMC, which can also be created into something else. So for example, all core items such as cobble and dirt have an EMC value of 1. on the other hand, diamonds have a value of 8000 and something. Basically whatever 64 x 64 is. Now this means you can turn cobble into diamonds.

You will have to watch this video to help you understand how it all works. The best I think is Duncan's explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Hsua7bdOo&feature=plcp

Another mod called Red Power 2 adds something very neat to the game called a Block Breaker. Now what this does it break the block below it and move it via redstone pipes, another feature of Red Power 2, to a chest or whatever you choose to store it in. Bare with me.

 If you so wish, as I do, you pump it straight into the Condenser which will turn it directly into diamonds using the EquivX EMC. Awesome right! Ok, so it you have a row of like 8 block breakers and you an create 64 every 8 seconds, which is a diamond every... hang on... 8 and a half minutes. Ok that is pretty cool right, when it is for free! You could have a massive cobblestone production facility, like I do, which in total has 64 block breakers and makes a diamond a minute! BOOM!

So yeah, free diamonds anyone?

The worst YouTube channel in the world

As the Managing Director of this YouTube channel and gaming organisation, I would like to apologise greatly for the staff working here at ObsCorp towers. Not only do we not have a decent computer to record our gameplay on between us, but when we put them together, we still wouldn't be able to play minecraft on anything other than tiny render distance.

The other day me, and the Social Guy, James "Womble" Richardson, along with Luke Burke who is a trusty affiliate of this organisation, recorded a good 15 episodes of a SMP series sort of based on a survival Island kind of thing. After it taking us a hour to set up a makeshift recording studio in Womble's bedroom, we then discovered after the day that none of the footage was able to be shown on YouTube because of it's diabolical quality!

I guess what I am trying to say is bare with, bare with, as things are looking up. With a recent project that we were involved with we have been privelidged to inadvertantly come by a few extra pieces of equipment which we are looking after whilst the radio is ongoing. This is all top quality stuff and we very much have enjoyed looking after it, and playing around with it! although none of it yet has been directly able to enhance or production and quality of videos, we are looking to invest in some new headsets and also some decent video editing equipment for our main man Womble to do his magic and get stuff looking epic.

Also with the powerhouse of Rob, we are trying to create some new ideas and projects which we can undergo in the foreseeable future. You may have noticed Rob's video stating that we are now going to be posting videos more regularly (which is a lie, I can confirm) he is pretty smart when e needs to be, so hats off to him!

Remember to stay tuned and keep watching the channel. Your support and love means to world to us. All 3 of you!
