I can texture, and I know a couple people who can also texture- I also know a few people who can code.

Permission to swindle XD They rip the artists off whenever they can- and thats wrong whether you have permission or not!

Well, how about this:

Services such as Hulu, Youtube, Netflix, Pandora, Rhapsody, etc.
Are essentially pirating from the artists, actors, directiors, etc. They give the owner of the product the bare minimum that they can and will seize an opportunity to cut the cost whenever they can.

If they didn't want it to be reused they would have locked the serial key for one use.

Minecraft/Discussion Why Hack?!

Lol, I'll admit it, I've hacked before- I did it when I was younger (I'm still young), the reasons were:

1. I liked to be ahead of everyone, to prove my superior skill
2. I liked the thrill of evading the GM's (or Admins), to prove my superior intelligence
3. I liked having complete control, to prove my authority

Think of it this way, I hacked to make myself better than I was (which was already pretty good), and with it- I soared above other players. This goes for MMO's, console WiFi server games, Minecraft, etc.

I didn't hate myself or feel bad, I just wanted to have a good time- but I didn't want to lose either...

In short, those who hack on games are looking for a different experience than the game offers, some kind of approval or acceptance as a good player (despite they may not be), and/or a way to control the environment so they can do what they feel is right (or wrong is most cases!)

Discussions/General Does anyone get so excited when they reach level 2 on PMC?

Like I said- again, no need to feel hurt- and like you said, everyone has their own views- as I stated, "This is my thinking". Furthermore, I was just saying you were cutting yourself too short, too soon. Level 2 is a first step, but not an ending point by far. I was not diminishing your leveling up in anyway, just saying theres more out there. I don't understand why you are so upset, all I said was level 2 wasn't quite an accomplishment and it's not hard to get higher. Following that, I gave my advice on how to work PMC in your favor.

This statement:
"everyone has their own opinions so just if you're going to be a butt then don't post on my threads "
I can conclude you're upset, that is apparent- but it was you who posted the question asking all of us OUR opinion.

I conclude with this: I hope you forgive me if I been rude, I was not aware that you would take it in that sense- I am not entirely good with people in general. I saw your thread and wanted to give some helpful advice, I'm sorry what I said came off that way to you.

Level 2? Um... Not to be rude but that's not much of an achievement.
This is my thinking:
People wont respect you- as a packer, a skinner, or whatever you do- until about level 10. Then they feel more comfortable viewing (and downloading) your posts. To do this, you need to post often (builds, blogs, or skins) or have a very good single post (server, map, mod, or texture). But most of all, make sure people see your work!

By about level 30, you gained enough renown that you can loosen up and things will (mostly) just take their course. Of course you'll have to post and update, just you will have people who obviously like what you do so you can relax a bit.

I'll finish this by saying that I mean in no way that you are not a good artist (or whatever you want to be called), I was once in your shoes- and look where I've gotten, that's a testament that you can too.

(P.S. I still get a bit excited when I level up, it never gets old.)

Communities/Texturing Which style do you prefer?

Default sucks, why else would we have so many texture packs?

But, I would prefer themed. Otherwise, with faithful- what's the point? And what up with these rustic packs? Sure you are definitely a texturer if you rip HD textures off of google images. (I mean that, half of the HD Rustic packs can be linked back to google images XD)

Having a theme causes creative crunches, where you have to get really creative to make the item/block/mob fit the theme. They are also the most interesting of them all. Since they change the feel of Mine Craft. If you're making youtube videos, I'd suggest doing themed, as they are more generally attractive than the other types as themed is more broad. (ex. video game, medieval, futuristic, modern, dark, light, etc) And many of the themed packs are preferred. (Like medieval syled packs, there are way more downloads for medieval textures because of Mine Craft's already medieval feel.)

Hope you do well, and don't forget to post the link to the first video! ^^

I think Twilight Princess was darker than Majora's Mask. Both literally and by sense of story. Majora's Mask really isn't dark at all, yes there is a creepy moon- but does that define the entire game? I would hope it would not for you. The game has many dark moments, but so does Ocarina of Time. Like the ruins of Castle Town, 1/3 of the Gorons being eaten, 99% of the Zoras frozen (and dead). How about Gannondorf's castle? That one has a high macabre quality. If you say that all this isn't equivalent to ,or even darker than, the events of Majora's Mask- you are delusional. And with Twilight Princess, just think about how the majority of the time you work with Midna, she is planning to stab you in the back. That's pretty dark, especially since she's supposed to be your in-game partner. I mean sure the moon doesn't have a creepy face, but it's still pretty dark if you actually read and understand the plot. (P.S. I think Arbiters Grounds trumps all dungeons from every game for creepiness.)

I am so sad to hear people still think that this is the best game... It's been how long? Ten years since it reached it's prime? It was a very flawed game, in example remember getting the giants wallet and thinking you'll never fill it up? A whole 500 Rupees? That was filled up so fast, mainly because you didn't have to buy arrows or bombs when they could be found in the grass everywhere. So why even have money, if you never use it? On top of that, who here is an Ocarina child link fan? No one? I wonder why? Maybe cuz child link (Majora's Mask ver. in exception) sucked. Crappy tools, slow transportation, and little access to the world are all reasons we moan when we start the game and remember we have to play as child link. Why is 1/3 of the game so boring and uneventful? Isn't that bad story writing? I can't see why we praise a game with such a boring beginning. Even after that, there really isn't much of a storyline, just a background story that we just sort of walk into every once and a while. I don't get sucked into the story as I do with the more recent games.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game and have played it several times- but come on! "The best Zelda game ever!"? Really? And the newer, more refined games can't compete with this out-of-season oldie? I just don't get it. I really just don't, I don't mean to get on everyone's nerves by stating what I believe, but I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't follow the unspoken rule of "Say OOT is the best, or you're not a fan."

PS I very much enjoyed the DS games, you guys should really loosen up on these games, their made for the system, not for you.
