Hello PMC! I'm Rusty, you may have mined the unminable, reached the unreachable, farmed the unfarmable, but you have never seen me on the PMC Times!
I'll be doing jokes or stories (I think), hereo s a list of Minecraft themes jokes I've made :)




Why did the villager know everything?
Because he was very "Nose"y


Did you hear the one about the griefer who could never be banned?


He was a creeper


I finally got full diamond armor!
"I see, your finally taking it up a "Notch""


I hate my computer!
It always "Blocks" PMC!


Why can't successful PVP'ers go to the pool?
Because there "on fire"


What happens in a terraformation is too realistic?
The Minecraft generator gets jealous, and delete's the world.


Why aren't unicorns added to Minecraft?
Because Mojang is full of "trolls"


What's the fastest way to end something?
By following the Enderpearls


Why can't you have spleef on a creative server?
Because everyone is building


How do you make a PVP'er cry?
You kill his cat


Why do farmers hate thieves?
They always take the hoes


What do you get when you cross an ocelot with a creeper?
A very jumpy creeper

Faint whispers cradle my ears, as I approach my own thoughts, wondering what is going on. The dark ceiling above my head is cracking; something is forcing it open, trying to break it with all of their might. My head raveled around whispers, gossip, the thought of atrocious hatred smacked the side of my face so hard I felt a wave of sensational heat bolt into the bottom of my chin. Something breaks, a light crackle as if the luscious flame inside my eyes died out.



When the slight burn releases the last tick of light, I release my last breath. Suddenly there was another flame. This one moving towards me, it accelerated at full force and with such tenacity it suddenly exploded. A sound of gunshot roared the skies as the whole ceiling dropped down along with me into the flames. Suddenly thousands of people ripped through and fell into the blazing abyss. The screams of the innocent had more heat than the flames itselfo ¦

Hi my name is Troy Mcclure. You may remember me from things like Precursor Laboratories or The PMC Times. Now I will be talking about SCIENCE in Minecraft. As a scientist, I think that people kill too much to realize that Io m Batman and also that science applies in Minecraft, yeah they do.



Science comes in all shapes and sizes but mostly in a cube form. It may come as a shock (*whisper* not really) but the pixels that make a block in Minecraft are made from a lot smaller pixels that are created from your computer, like a picture on Google images can be 715 x 860. If this wasn't the case then Minecraft would look unimaginable. Building is the closest thing to science in Minecraft because that's how you run experiments and test things like The Mythbusters.






All Io m saying is that we should be more involved in science and I know Io m not the only scientist. If you are an unemployed Minecraft scientist then join Precursor Laboratories today because we need help making the future. Please send a PM to me if you wish to join. Don't know who Precursor Laboratories? Just go click #1, for more information click #2.

Recently, I've been attacked by a swarm of angry PMC-ers. An army of bloodthirsty beasts. They chased me, threw me to the ground and ate me alive. However, I came out the other side (so to speak) and learnt something valuable in the process. Okay, it wasn't THAT bad...but in PMC criticism is inevitable and can be a sensitive issue. Therefore it's important to know exactly how to criticize people's submissions without hurting/angering/offending/annoying them.





But this goes deeper than the PMC rules. When people have clearly put effort into their content, there's a fine art to knowing how NOT to piss them off. It's okay to have a strong opinion about what you see and read, but to make friends on PMC (this may or may not be important to you) there are some things you have to remember when writing a critical comment.



Be Constructive.




Share your ideas and things that the author/artist/builder can work on. This may involve nitpicking but that's better than tearing their work to shreds to the point where there's nothing they can do to improve. Don't be afraid to point out the spelling errors; they should be spoken to if they can't even be bothered to check their writing. If they've said something that you know to be wrong then point it out, but don't accuse them of lack of research or knowledge. Believe me, it hurts to hear this.




Be Positive.




Include a compliment. Of course, you don't need to contradict yourself but try to acknowledge what was done well. If it really is a hopeless submission, well...just don't bother commenting. Or maybe just say why another of their submissions was better.




Be Polite.




I won't just regurgitate the extremely well-known (pffft) PMC rules here. Think about employing your best social skills, and include a greeting or a
icon_e_smilegif or a :3 or a icon_e_biggringif or a :B OR SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS FRIENDLY. Most importantly, don't make it sound as if you're ganging up or talking down to them. Perhaps if someone else has already stated what you were planning to say, just leave it out. Recognize when the PMC-er has got the message.






Perhaps you could remember Constructive, positive and polite as CPP. Wait. That doesn't work. Still, keep it all in mind before clicking the big blue 'submit' button. I apologize for the depressing-ness of the message in this article, but this is what people have to remember to ensure the wellbeing of every member of PMC, and nothing is more important than that.






I'll leave you with an example. This may not affect you in any way, but just imagine putting LOADS of time into something, getting positive comments and then -from a guy who is at a higher level but no better than you- hearing THIS: "There's a lot there that needs refining and further research." It's hard to explain. You might not get it. But. It hurts...

Hi there, my name is Dan and I am a writer for the PMC Times. Last week I started this 'Minecraft Photography' thing and If you didn't see my photos last week then you should read that for an introduction. Anyway, this week I have prepared 7 new photos for you to take a look at. Each of these was a screenshot in minecraft taken and edited by me and I plan to make unique, interesting, and artsy photos for you to look at each week! Enjoy :D

Every single one of these photos has had a ton of editing gone into them so if you can please leave your feedback in the comment section and tell me what you think! I won't be able to make something for the PMC Times next week as I have exams and school comes before recreation. Anyway thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this week's shots and have a nice day!

With the new Original Gods and Goddesses skin contest underway, many PMC users are stepping up to the plate and coming up with some of the most brilliant skin designs on this site. Some of these designs I've seen include: A God of Decay, A God of Cheesecakes, The Gods' Messenger, and many more. Elements not yet seen have been incorporated into skins, which definitely show the creativity bursting from this brilliant idea of a skin contest. The contest still as around a few more days left so it's never too late to submit an entry. With that being said, best of luck to all of you!

Oh and by the way, I don't like in Australia. If I did then I wouldn't make it a big deal. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. So I don't have an ocean to flood me, it was all unexpected. So final count is 26 communities were evacuated, many houses destroyed and the damage cost is going to be massive. I'm safe with my high ground and the waters are finally going away. My downtown is a complete mess though

Ok, so you just do nature and stuff? Thats cool. I've taken photography classes and I got myself a Sony NEX-F3 a couple months ago. I love it and I've taken a ton of photos (That's kind of why I did a minecraft photography section). I haven't taken any of my flood though, news has that covered :)
