This. Is. MINECRAFT! [v3]

So a rather big story I'm hearing about now is that some Japanese streamer got an old-style lighter and during a smoke break while streaming Minecraft, accidentally set his house on fire. He admits to not knowing how to use the lighter and during the trial and error, it looks like the fluid sloshed out of it and ignited. He then dropped the flaming lighter and attempted to stamp it out with cardboard. He was unsuccessful.

As for the total damage, I'm hearing everything from people just have minor injuries (including him), to three buildings destroyed and one person dead.

And of course it is on video

That's quite a good blaze. I would joke that he must have been trying to make a fireplace, but...

If nothing else, I learned that cardboard is one of the worst materials to stamp a fire out with.

jokool, when do you have to go to work today?

4 PM is when I'm scheduled, but I usually leave about 30 minutes before to make sure I get there on time.

Also, I was going to be doing something before work, so I'll probably be leaving in a minute to do that and probably won't have much time before I head to work when I get back.

Fan Base is gonna riot......

RT Episode 177 spoilers:

Is there any interest in Minecraft, either the normal server or the Super Hard server?

*tries something while loading up the 1.8.8 server*

Also the launcher has an update.

*is mad at myself after fucking something up*

Did you try to fix the fireplace again

No, I wouldn't mad at myself for that unless I killed one of the pets. Though I would be disappointed.

I broke one of the maps while preparing to generate a new section. So now I have to go remake that map.

If you fix it, I may hop on the server for a bit, though, I'm not sure what I'd do.

I'm about half done fixing it, if you're uncertain what to do on that server, the Super Hard server is always an option. Still tons more to do in that, including finding the basic materials to start fighting for real.

Oh also the main server needs more Ender Pearls.

I kind of want to try something like from one of the AH Let's Plays, though, I think we'd need a few more players online for anything like that to be fun and/or competitive.
