Minecraft: 1.8 prerelease



So here our quick and very first update,
I hope everyone already knows what am I about to say, in particular, the "Adventure update". The upcoming 1.8 version is the one that will change totally minecraft's gaming experience, adding thousand of new features, such as NPCs, rivers, canyons, new monsters to deal with. Anyways if you really dont know anything about this I suggest you to check the official site: http://www.minecraft.net and also the other links that appear in the bottom of the home.

Anyways, assuming that you skipped the first part of this post here's how can try minecraft 1.8, first of all you definitely need:

-A PC.
-A paid version of the game (being a premium user basically)
-And what am I going to link down here

Download the 1.8 minecraft.jar
Once you've downloaded that file place it in the folder called ".minecraft" which is in "C:\WINDOWS\AppData"

And this is pretty much it!

Should be?

I just realized that I didn't talk about the blog's title, I mean, "should be indie".
Well, it's easy, I used "should" just because from time to time I'll also be giving some informations regarding the revolutionary games that are going to be released anytime soon, I'm talking about Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2 and Dota 2. As soon as I'll start playing I may even write about my personal gaming experience, but these are just some ideas that came up randomly.
As a newbie Starcraft 2 player I may also write down how's my ladder games are evolving, and maybe receive even some advices :P

But yeah, I guess, now that everything's explained, I'm ready to start posting some awesome shit

Who am I? and, what am I doing here?

Hello folks, my name is Luca, I live in italy in a town fairly near to Venice, even though in october I'll be living in Udine, a big city at 130 km far from my home. Actually I'm going to attend the economy course there, at the university. So, as you can see, english is not my mother tongue and you will certainly find lots of mistakes around here, so please forgive me.

Let's talk about the other question, "what am i doing here?": well, I'm going to promote as much as I can indie gaming, you may wonder what the hell could that be! Simple, "indie" stands for "indipendent", thats right you got me, this blog is mainly about those games that don't come from the rich companies such as EA or Blizzard or whatever. Most of you may have seen or at least listened about Minecraft, a game basically entirely developed by a guy named Notch. If you don't, well you should search for it, by now, according to his official site "3,376,616 people bought the game" and considering that it's sold at 15€ that made such a tremendous income. What am I trying to say is that, besides Minecraft there are literally MILLIONS of other games entirely developed by just a person or a quite small team and many of them, obviously are at least as cool as minecraft. That's why I'm trying to promote this other aspect of videogaming.
