Wow! Time can slip by so fast. Sorry for the lack of posts, but time has been unusually argumentative over the past month. But enough about us; let's talk about what we are doing for you! Some exciting updates including nuggets, Facebook, and our game list!
Jumbo Nuggets
We are all pretty tired of struggling to see our nugget collections. These aren't fine diamonds or snowflakes we are talking about - they are nuggets; and they have detail worth looking at (most of the... Read The Full Article

New to my Husbands "gaming world" and not really sure what to write about, I thought that I would delve into his thoughts a little... Zombies! He is always coming up with ridiculous situations in which I am to decide what I would do at that moment had there been a zombie apocalypse. My answer is always that I would be the first to die; I’m not exactly a survivalist. Fortunately for me, I think it's going to be quite some time before that happens and 2015 is...

Minecraft 1.8 has finally been released. There have been a lot of new things added as well as old things adjusted for better balance. Let me start with a quick list of changes - shorter than the release notes with just enough detail to keep you informed and prepared. Then we will tackle some things in more detail.
Added several new blocks, items, mobs, stats, and server commands
Changes made for game balance with anvil repair costs and villager trading

Hello fellow Looters!
I apologize for having missed you on July's unboxing event. The theme was VILLAINS and I certainly played the villain in not providing you with a view of the tasty goodies contained inside. Fear not, however, for I am back for the unboxing of the August Loot Crate!
This month, in appreciation of balance in the universe Loot Crate provided us with a HEROES crate to combat all the villains set loose in the previous month.
Let's jump right in!

Ouch! It has been way too long without an update, an article, or even a peep from us, so let me explain what is going on in a sentence or two. We have been focused on cleaning things up in our code and redesigning some of the layouts used on the site to be fully responsive. At the end of the day, what does that really mean? It means that our site will look good on mobile devices such as phones and tablets. It's even going to expand a little for those of you with larger m... Read The Full Article

A quick and straightforward notice for y'all. About a week ago, Youtube implemented a feature that allows users to finally upload videos in glorious 60 frames-per-second quality! This is limited to the 1080p and 720p HD resolutions but the difference between 30fps and 60fps is instantly noticeable. Any video uploaded before the release will still be in the old framerate but this is quite a triumph for game enthusiasts that like to upload or like to just watch gam... Read The Full Article

While working on restructuring some of the screen generation scripts for our site, I ran into an interesting problem with Yii Framework's CGridView widget and models that come from a MySQL table with a composite primary key. The error was actually a PHP warning which read "urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given". Displayed as shown below.
Without getting into other potential workarounds or arguing possible flaws in the structure of my data, I'm goi... Read The Full Article

With the holiday season soaring toward us, I am finding our time to become increasingly limited. There are still gifts to buy, nuggets to create, and lots to develop; but I am trying to keep in mind - there is also a lot to play. For owners of an Xbox One and fans of the Halo series, this Christmas brings along with it an excellent (but limited time) opportunity to play Halo 5: Guardians in the game's beta testing.
To get access, just pick up a copy of "Halo: Master Ch... Read The Full Article

If you are a member of Club Nintendo and haven't heard yet, the program will be shut down in June of this year. Here are some critical dates to remember and things you'll want to keep in mind. Before I get to the sour notes, let me excitedly state that Nintendo does plan on releasing a new program of some kind to replace Club Nintendo, but no details on that are available at this time.

While using a layout defined in the documentation of MDL, I noticed a oddity with my results compared to what the documentation was showing. The icon that opens the left drawer menu (a menu that slides in and out from the left of the page) was much higher up on my page than their example. It was noticeably bad.
The icon in the top left is too high up and looks bad.
I fixed the issue, though I don't completely know why this did it. If anyone has some insight, feel fre... Read The Full Article
