  1. This information is provided by padware of minecraftforum.net You can find these updates as well as previous updates here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1274802-mcxbla-title-update-change-logs-august-bug-fix/ Minecraft got a new update today, August 7, 2012. Instead of the much anticipated upgrade to 1.8 that everyone was hoping for, this update was simply bug fixes. The reason for this has not been revealed, but some think that it is because they haven't yet ported 1.8 over to X-Box and are fixing the bugs for 1.7 because it will be a while before they are finished. Oh well, maybe next month. Now, on to what's been fixed! Fix for a crash with pistons at the edge of the world Fix for a crash due to a thread safety issue usually caused by pistons Fix for issue with operating pistons on chunk boundaries Fix for a rendering flicker with active pistons Fix for rendering slowdown due to lighting issues Fix for rain going through blocks (raining indoors) Fix for Marketplace not launching when unlocking skin pack after selecting a locked skin in the trial version of the skin pack Fix for bug allowing locked skins to be selected if they are beside a free skin Fix for misaligned player scores when viewed under the "My Score" leaderboard filter Fix for the constant button press sounds when rotating a character in the skin select screen Fix for the constant sound effect played on the sign text entry Fix for thunder not being audible Fix for third person front view not displaying fire. While I am a bit disappointed that we don't have 1.8 yet, I am glad that these bugs were finally fixed. The sound effect for the signs playing and the non-audible thunder were especially annoying to me lol I'm also glad that they fixed some of the bugs with the pistons. What are you glad that they fixed? Did you even notice any of these bugs? DISCUSS!
  2. Gabriel was trying to help "The Son of Sam" in the movie Constantine because Gabriel believed that human's were not strong enough to be worthy of the love of God. So, to help the humans get strong, Gabriel was helping Lucifer's son bring hell to Earth. The thinking behind this was that they humans who survived would be strong enough to be deemed "worthy" of God's love. There are a couple of different beliefs for this. One is that Men are supposed to dress themselves which is why the buttons are placed to where it is harder for someone else to button them, while women are to be assisted while dressing which is why the buttons are positioned to where it's easier to help them with them. Another belief is that the buttons are placed that way so you can tell a guys blouse (shirt) from a girl's blouse, to avoid men accidentally wearing women's clothing and vice versa. Of course I do. We just talked about this yesterday. The Tempest by Pendulum, and the lead singer's name is Robert (Rob) Swire Thompson. He's also in charge of synths and is the producer of the band. Gareth McGrillen is the back-up singer. Pendulum announced that they split up in June of this year. The 19th, I think.
  3. Everybody's leaving. q.q Soon, the only ones here who are veteran members will be me, AD, and Twam D': The shoutbox will be full of AD and I arguing and Twam lurking! D: THE HORROR! D': Don't let that happen, hurry back! :3
  4. It didn't have a name, but it was an R-7 ICBM rocket. It launched the satellite Sputnik I.
  5. Stealth Pilot. Also, the rest of the info is up to you and him to reveal publicly. Also, bear in mind that questions like these are against the OP because I don't answer "personal questions" about other people (i.e. names, contact info, relatives, etc.)
  6. Well, if you travel a lot then gas mileage would be important, and your father has an image to maintain. He has to appear respectful and semi-successful without overdoing it. Well, for utility+gas mileage+successful look, you can't go wrong with a sedan. I suggest looking into the 2012 Honda Civic, the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid, or the 2012 Chevy Volt. Since the models are a few years old, you shouldn't have trouble finding a used one if you can't afford a new one. Also, they look decent enough to pass for "luxury sedans" while saving a butt-ton on gas simultaneously. They are also fairly new, so finding replacement parts shouldn't be a giant hassle if it breaks down.
  7. I am loving what I've seen so far. The multiplayer looks pretty decent, and I can't wait to see how the campaign goes. I am honestly hoping that this is going to be one of the Halos that I spend more time on the campaign then I do in multiplayer, like I did with Halo 2 and Halo CE.
  8. Okay, here's a question for you. Where was the first Nova bomb ever created first armed?
  9. Bwahaha a Bluebell. Are you going to smash your fiddle now? xD The poem is called "The Daylight is Dying" and is by A.B. Peterson. He also goes by Banjo Peterson.
  10. Here is the first paragraph from Primordium, in the prologue. For those of you who have trouble understanding what this means, they found a duplication (a damaged one) of a device (e.g. 343GS' casing) that was reported as lost/destroyed. Also, please note that nowhere in Primordium did the science team discuss their funding increasing if they claimed the device was 343 Guilty Spark. However, there is an interesting little tidbit here: This is the first mention of 343 Guilty Spark in the book. It is in chapter forty-two. This happens just before 343 Guilty Spark's duplication takes control of the Human vessel.As you can see from the following paragraph taken from the very same chapter, the AI duplication's voice was ID confirmed as 343 Guilty Spark. All "Smart" Forerunner Monitors use different voices, for identification purposes as well as the feeling of being "different" from the other Monitors. This phenomena can be witnessed in the Halo CEA terminals. If you do not feel like watching the entire video, the terminal you are looking for is at appx 3:40. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w07eXxzM8Pw As you can see, there is no evidence to support Sierra1117's claim that the science team claimed that it was 343 GS to enhance their funding. However, there is evidence to support 01-171 Abased Eidolon's claim that it was 343 GS. The voice-print analysis ID confirmation is what confirms that it is indeed 343 Guilty Spark. Sorry Sierra1117 :3 Anyways, did you know that Cortana discovered that The Covenant were heading for Earth on September 23, 2552?
  11. I do believe you'll find that he traveled back in time and reinvented it in the old west. However, he wouldn't have been able to do that if he hadn't invented it in 1985 first.
  12. Well, it is a bit more complicated than that. Firstly, we have to be assured that we can sustain life (impossible to do without any sources of water) for an extended period of time, which is what the rover is for. I agree that NASA needs more funding though. Furthermore, I think Carthage should be destroyed.
  13. LOL! The Duck-Billed Platypus, if I recall correctly lol
  14. Monitors make back-ups of themselves in the event that their casing is corrupted or destroyed, so that they can continue monitoring their installations. That's how they got the fragment of 343 GS. They weren't particularly clear on where they got it from though, but it did identify itself as 343 Guilty Spark.
  15. Try this. If that doesn't work, then you will probably have to buy another one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gluLWAsQuZU
  16. I actually just finished playing through Halo Wars, and didn't see it. Are you absolutely sure? And yes, Captain (soon to be Rear Admiral) Osman And she was a flushout of the S-II program, because her augmentations didn't take.
  17. Boomstick and a chainsaw hand. lol
  18. Metro 2033 was actually more known than you think lol I remember having to wait in line for it's release. xD
  19. Considering there are going to be five map packs released, each with multiple maps, there is a greater chance that you will find a map that you love. Also, I would like to know how you can "try before you buy" with Map Packs lol In total, the map packs and DLC will equal around $175 dollars. When you take this into consideration, then $50 is a downright steal.
  20. That's true. Does Kingdom Hearts have a release (other than for 1 and 2) for a non-hand held console?
  21. 1985, but he had a "vision" of it in 1955. And it's Emmett Brown lol AKA "Doc" Brown.
  22. Actually, the humans did not create the flood. The simply accidentally incubated it. The original flood parasites were found on a derelict spacecraft, and was not able to be identified. It is common belief that the Precursors initiated this "first contact" with the flood, although the reason is not quite clear. Also, another misconception is that the Ancient Humans found a cure for the flood. This was revealed not to have been the case by "The Timeless One", who stated that it simply was not the Human's time to be tested. The flood was created by the Precursors as a "test" to the other species that they created. The Precursors are confirmed to have created the San 'Shyuum, Forerunners, and Humans. The Precursors are thought to be the oldest known sentient life form in the Haloverse. They created both the Forerunners and the Humans in the hopes that one day they would surpass them and take up the "Mantle", or guardianship of the universe (conjecture). The Forerunners were deemed to be unworthy of this after they turned on the Precursors and drove them from the known galaxy. "The Timeless One" (aka the Precursor Gravemind) confirmed that the Precursors (formerly thought extinct by the Forerunners) are still around, outside of the known galaxy. This should have been suspected by the Forerunners, considering that Precursor technology is so advanced that even they didn't know much about how it worked. Their technology is directly influenced by what they were able to glean from Precursor technology, which implies that they are technologically adaptive rather than innovative, much like The Covenant. /educative rant about the Forerunners and the flood. Did you know that The Covenant have been known to employ three different types of AA guns? One fires plasma "flak", another fires homing plasma shots, and another fires a massive "Needler" round which explodes into a bunch of smaller crystals on contact (much like the projectiles fired from the Needler Rifle). While the first two have been seen in video games (Halo 3 for the "flak cannon" and Halo Reach for the "Homing Cannon"), this third type of Anti-Aircraft weapon was first mentioned in Halo: First Strike. It has not yet seen use in a video game. The first one mentioned (Flak Cannon) seems to be more useful against smaller aircraft (e.g. Banshees, Pelicans, Falcons, etc.) The second one mentioned (Homing Cannon) seems to be more useful against larger ships (Cruisers and Destroyers, covenant and human). The third one mentioned seems specifically for non-shielded aircraft and seems to be far more effective against human aircraft. The shattered crystals keep exploding into smaller pieces, and can puncture the armor plating of a human aircraft as well as clog and destroy their intake valves.
  23. Indeed. He was immediately hospitalized and that hospital visit got him addicted to painkillers, which is why he went to the Betty Ford Clinic.
