`Hey guys, it's me, Jacksus! I haven't been active very much and I apologize, with midterms and school, the holidays, all these distractions, I haven't been playing Minecraft that much lately. Plus I kinda got addicted to Portal Two and Counter Strike: Source..:P Anyways, I'm most likely going to be working on a holiday themed skin, and be on the lookout for a possible new shading technique!
Now if you are new to Planet Minecraft, or haven't been here around Christmas, you may have noticed something different. The beautiful logo has been replaced by a festive design with winteractible (sorry, couldn't resist) snow, starring none other than Israphel himself! For those of you who don't know who that is, he is the holiday creeper at the top of your screen. He is the main antagonist in a popular Minecraft series made by the Yogscast. Plus, if the snow makes you laggy, you can disable it!
Well, the holidays are approaching quickly, and I decided to host a contest. It will be in the forums, and will be a Winter-themed pixel art contest. Here is the contest entry: http://www.planetminecraft.com/forums/holiday-spartan-contest-t337191.html. Stay tuned!`

See you later, Spartans, and subscribe to join the army if you aren't already! See you on the next blog!
