Well, robots will be hated by the humans of Earth, the Spacers will co-exsist with robots. Thousands of years later, the Galactic Empire will be established, far away from Earth, the Galactic Empire will fall, and Hari Seldon's plan will fail, due to one humans smart/stupid choice, (It's debatable) and R. Daneel's plan for Gaia will succeed, meaning true, peace, no hatred, just happiness for every species- Only downside to Gaia is that humans will lose individuality...

There are a lot of things wrong with that statement.
Nothing made for Linux? That is complete bs.
Steam just came out for Linux, and a new game is ported to Linux almost every day.

Unusable for programs? How so?

500 different distros is GOOD. You have CHOICE. Don't like Ubuntu? Get something else. Want a new desktop enviroment? Try XFCE!
Linux is all about the idea that the basics of computers should be free. (Basic apps, OS etc.)
And, if you don't like something, change it! (OPEN SOURCE!)

Besides, any apps that work on Windows can work on Linux with WINE (Windows Compatibility Layer)

Oh, and I use Xubuntu.

WHY does everyone keep saying SPONGES?
Sponges are VERY helpful when making maps (underwater) or in survival (With crafting mod/plugin).

'Fullmetal Alchemist'
--Shonen
--Action
--Adventure(ish)
--Fantasy
Fullmetal Alchemist and it's reboot (FMA: Brotherhood) are both amazing Anime.
Characters you can't help but like, amazing plot, great premise, and epic execution make this one of the greatest anime I have ever seen. This is a must-see.


'Angel Beats'
--Shonen/Shojuo
--Action
--Romace
--Fantasy
--Scifi
Anime with life after death ideas are pretty common, but Angel Beats takes the cake. It perfectly blends romance, action, fantasy, scifi, and a great storyline into one Anime. Though it does seem slightly rushed, I recommend it.


'Puella Magi Madoka Magica'
--Shojuo
--Action
--Angst
--Fantasy
Madoka Magica is one of those genre changers. It twists the whole idea of magical girls and takes down a whole different road. Great if you like deep, fun plot.



Really, those are my top 3. I could mention more, but my job is done~

That's cheap, and it looks like a great PC in general.
Only thing I don't like is the AMD processor, because some good Linux distros don't support it. But that shouldn't be too hard to replace with Intel, if it reflects off previous experiences.

Major turn-off = EBAY!
Ebay has screwed me silly in the passed. I don't want that to happen again, so be weary.

EDIT: 7-day cash back no question returns... 14-day cash back questions asked returns...
Sounds good. But seems like a gamble, it might not get to you in 14 days with the shipping...

Oh dear god. I just looked at the wiki (http://bit.ly/1ewXuFK) and it looks like they are serious. If they ignore my giant post earlier explaining Voxel/Sandbox etc and just make a copy of MC I will die.

Here's the wiki page they/he/she made. (Well, I copied and pasted the text)

Click to reveal
--WORLD OF BLOCKS--
Welcome to the World of Blocks Wiki
World of Blocks is a new voxel sandbox game being programmed and designed by Red Coin Games where the user is able to build and destory the world as they see fit. Currently the game is still in "Alpha-Dev", which includes just basic mechanics of the game. Some gameplay mechanics include a "God Mode" where inventory is unlimited and flying is planned to be enabled. A leveling system is also being designed so that you will have a RPG feel to the game.
To Suggest Features go to http://bit.ly/13H2mC2

Re-Building From The Ground Up.
Were now going through the process of re-building the engine from the ground up. Snapshots will **hopefully** be released while were working on the new engine. The new release of the game wont be avalible for a matter of months. However, the current version snapshots are coming pretty soon.
To Suggest Features go to http://bit.ly/13H2mC2

Future Development.
Trains, Motion Blur, Day/Night, Crafting, Survival, Minions, Creatures/Monsters are all on the agenda for upcomming freatures.

Here's my deconstruction/critique of sorts of the Wiki-

"We're now going through the process of re-building the engine from the ground up."

Really? The engine is Unity 3D. Unity isn't open sourced or anything like that.


Trains, Motion Blur, Day/Night, Crafting, Survival, Minions, Creatures/Monsters

Everything seems OK- Except Crafting and Survival. They aren't even trying to not copy MC. A blatant copy.

Not that I've played it- But he mentioned it using Unity 3D. It is insanely easy to make a block game with Unity and remapping MC textures to the blocks. 10, 20 min max.
I am 99% sure that this is not MC, but a simple block game from Unity.

So everyone, stop calling it MC.

Ok, ok, ok.
No TL;DR, just read it, PLEASE.
PLEASE, don't take this the wrong way, but pretty much any voxel/sandbox game that is based purely on blocks is essentially a copy of MC. It's fine to be inspired by a game to create a game, but you are obviously trying to recreate the same feel of Minecraft.

You don't have to make it block-based, (Garry's Mod, UniverseSandbox, Blockland [Blockland surprisingly has waaaay more that just cubes and is based on freaking everything]).

Ace of Spades wasn't a copy of MC because AOS is very different- It has a separate feel. AoS deliberately uses the out-of-date 'Voxlap Engine' so the game can run on older PCs and new PCs alike. AoS has an interesting player model, (Rather than the purely block person in MC) along with having new physics which would take the meaning out of an ordinary non-linear sandbox game.

Blockland was made before MC (2000) and is still being touched up on. It's much different than AoS than MC, and is more comparable to Gmod. In the 'Vanilla' Blockland you can build anything, and tweak it precisely with the wrench tool.
There are many more building materials than blocks- The world isn't made of blocks, it's almost a look-alike to legos (Blockland is smexier than legos, if you ask me), but that all contributes to the feel of the game.

Minecraft was original. It was the first voxel/sandbox of it's kind, and that is very respectable. Making a game using cubes is fine, just TRY to give it a different feel to MC. (In example; Bigger cubes? Smaller cubes? Simpler graphics [Use an older gaming engine for full effect]? More user control [Wrench tool in Blockland is an example]?)

What I'm trying to say is that I don't want another MC clone. No matter how much you say it isn't- "It's like an RPG!" it is. RPG isn't genre enough to separate it from MC. So if you really want to create something new, try a genre that hasn't been explored purely in blocks-- Racing? Platformer? <strike>MMO? (Cubeworld)</strike>

So really, don't make a copy of MC and hide it as an RPG. If you really want to make an RPG in ugly cubes, than try to make a different player model, different viewing angle, I.E. main one top down?), no generated map- One, great adventure, weapons, tools, NPC's (Must-have), etc.

Please take the time to read above. No TL;DR bullblock.

Sorry about all of that. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm trying to help you create something original.

Having to go without Ubuntu Linux OS on my PC. (Well, I could deal with Linux Fedora

OUYA goes bankrupt. (Probably will NEVER EVER happen. I hope.)

If either of those happened... I might go CRAZY. Especially on the OUYA one.
