    I have decided when NPC's actually live in the villages, I'm going to booby trap the **** out of their towns with lava pitfalls, landmines and giant arrow-dispenser barrages. I will be the scourge of all NPC villages.

    I wonder if NPCs will come back or if when you wipe out a village they'll be gone forever (and if they do leave forever will they spawn in villages that were created before their implementation?)

    If you use the same means to spawn NPCs as other mobs (/mob_amount), will they move in to the nearby buildings?

    If a creeper blows up in the woods and no one is around to see it does it cry when it dies?

    Does any of the above matter?

    Creepers have no souls, thus they can't cry. Unless they cry blood shed from unborn children, then yes, they cry.

    I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to travel for miles to get to a populated village when the next update comes out, and if I'm going to have to keep moving every time I wipe out a town, or can I just build a massive volcano lair on a mountain just outside one and constantly reap chaos like a super villain.

    So, as you may know, My laptop sucks, and can barely run Minecraft.

    And for some reason, probably because the game isn't optimized very well, I get massive lag spikes. I can play Morrowind with a HD texture pack and the game runs fine.

    Anyway, I decided to start tweaking the **** out of minecraft, because I installed Optifine yesterday, and the game ran at 45 fps for a good 10 minutes, and then it just dropped to about 1-2 fps and stuck there.

    Anyway, I messed with some options on my ATI GPU, edited the 3D settings so it's maximum performance, made a .bat file that runs Minecraft with only 256mb of RAM (I only have a gig, and for some reason, Java uses 900mb of it when it's running, so while the game is using all dat embeez, the OS is running on air, so it causes the game to lag.

    That along a couple of other tweaks, including turning off indexing, has had a serious effect. I went from running at a max of 9 fps to a minimum of 20.

    Woot.

    When I get my new computer, can you teach me your ways? Seriously, I stopped Playing minecraft just because of the lag issues.

    The "11" disk (The broken one.) sounded like the dude was trying to escape reality into minecraft. Dunno if they played it all but at the end it was real footsteps turning into minecraft footsteps (on gravel?). It 'twas weird.

    It sounds like a guy mining in a cave, and he can't get a flint and steel to light. Then he hears the "turning night" sound and he starts running out of the cave to get outside then the record stops. I'm guessing there's going to be more of these.

    Dude...that black broken disk...I really hope Minecraft gets a story like that. That would be really cool. The others sound really cool as well, but that black disk...reminds me of Myst for some reason.

    Sounds to me like: In cave, pulls out torch, lights with flint and steel. Grabs book, pen? and starts writing. Hears/sees monster, puts stuff away/drops book? and runs outside to the night and gets cut off.
