when did you start playing minecraft?

October 2010 - back when Minecraft was only 10 euroes

how did you find out about minecraft?

Mostly through Owlet (a friend of mine) and after I watched a video he put up on youtube I knew I had to give it a go...

what was the first thing you built on singleplayer/multiplayer?

I built a castle on singleplayer - I've only recently starting playing smp and I don't tend to do so very often

what is your in game name/username in minecraft?

they call me darkora... *dramatic chords*

what was the biggest thing you ever built?

I'm currently in the process of building a huge trading post which will easily be the biggest thing I've ever built

what is your next project/creation?

I have no real idea... whatever strikes me next I guess...

what do you mainly build in minecraft? (for example: treehouses, minecart systems, etc.)

I couldn't say I build one thing more than any other, I guess if pressed I'd say bases, a variety of them...

which do you do that most: explore, kill mobs, or mine?

I build mostly really, though I do enjoy sperlunking trips... except when I run out of torches

last thing you built involving redstone?

I use redstone a lot, though I do tend to cheat because I use Ali4z's Wireless Redstone along with Feanorith's Redstone Advanced - last big thing I built with redstone was a gate system (several times) for my trading post

favourite ore and why?

I like diamonds the most - mainly because there's the whole adventure of trying to find them

least favourite ore and why?

hmm I suppose Gold is my least favourite ore, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as useful as the others

do you often go to the nether (or aether if you have the aether mod)?

recently I've started going into the nether more and more - since Better Than Wolves gave Netherrack a host of uses, I've more reason to go there

what mods do you enjoy using?

Better Than Wolves is my favourite, though I tend to use an absolute ton - I think my current homebrew modpack involved something like 25 mods - I won't list them all here but if anyone wants to know they can drop me an ask

favourite texture pack?

I tend to switch through several - I like the stylings of the painterly pack but I also love Carlotta4th's Modified Portal textures - I plan to make my own at some point, but that may have to wait.

favourite mob and why?

Wolves, definitely would have to be Wolves

least favourite mob and why?

gorram creepers, they need to stop destroying my stuff

name some of your favourite minecraft blogs/websites

I only really use the minecraft wiki and the yogiverse along with the minecraft forums

who is your favourite minecraft commentator on youtube? why?

I'm not sure if they count as commentators but I follow the yogscast quite closely - I'm definitely a yognought though I also follow Etho

what are you looking forward to the most in the 1.8 update?

I suppose it would have to be the added depth to the game that notch puts into most updates, I'm glad to see the game expanding

what are your thoughts on minecraft being available on the xbox?

I think it should be good, not sure exactly how it'll work (and I daresay I won't buy it myself) but I'm glad that minecraft is getting the attention and expansion it deserves

sum up minecraft in a five-worded sentence.

"get excited and make shit"
