YouTube subscribers who watch my videos regularly would know that I have already finished up Season 1 of Drew's Empire Resurrection, and have released Episode 1 of Season 2. I'm approaching this season with a more laid-back approach, and a bit more emphasis on just having fun, rather than trying to rush through the tech like a mad-man.
I've also decided to set a regular schedule for new episodes. This is likely to be every Wednesday and Friday for my Minecraft Let's Play, and perhaps a couple other shows for other days in the week. We shall see.
I constantly forget to update, so I won't go posting all of the videos I haven't added already. Here's Season 2, Episode 1:

Drew's Empire Resurrection - Episodes 7, 8 & 9
My Let's Play series continues on in smashing fashion. Here are the latest episodes:
Before I record and upload Episode 10, let me share a sad story. After finishing up Episode 9, I decided to go for a lovely stroll to explore a bit of my world, and decided to take Lucky, my Doggy Talents dog, with me for the company. I made my way quite far from home, and before long, it became dark. I decided I would use my trusty Aperture Handheld Portal Device to make the return trip simple. At first, it seemed like it didn't want to work properly, so I saved, quit, and restarted Minecraft. The reload worked, and my portals let me pass through. However, Lucky tried to follow me, and something odd happened. I got the Saving Chunks crash. Because I use I custom batch file to run Minecraft, I quickly Alt+Tabbed into the Command Prompt window to read the exception data. Something bugged out with respect to DT mod, when I reloaded my world, Lucky was no where to be found. I was upset to some extent, but decided that it was for the best that I abandon DT mod as part of my collection. This is nothing against RaustBlackDragon, who has made a rather nice mod for those who love their canine companions, but as we had discussed previously, I have realized that that mod doesn't really fit my particular play-style. So, there you have it. As of Episode 10, I'll be going it alone in this cruel world of my own making.

Drew's Empire Resurrection - Ep 5 + 6
Drew's Empire Resurrection continues to move along rather nicely, and I've been getting some great feedback from viewers I happen to know in passing from the Better Than Wolves forum. Many of them have stated that I deserve far more viewers than I currently have, which I am pleased to hear, but I'm not really out for a popularity contest, at this point. I just enjoy playing Minecraft, and building interesting contraptions. I started making videos after being inspired by the likes of Coestar and AvidyaZen, and while I never expect to be as extraordinarily popular as they are, I take a great deal of pleasure in finding that there are those out there who truly enjoy my videos.
With that said, here's Episode 5 of Drew's Empire Resurrection. Episode 6 is currently encoding, and will be uploaded before I go to bed, tonight. I'll add it to this post when it's done uploading.

Getting Political
As much as I'd hate to get into topics that are rather dry, bland, or otherwise upsetting, there is a situation in the US that I feel strongly about. This week, Congress is reconvening after their winter break, and one of the first items on it's agenda is PIPA/SOPA. The PROTECT IP Act, and Stopping Online Piracy Act are two pieces of legislation that would allow the United States Government the ability to block websites at the DNS level, essentially removing them from the Internet. The language used in the bill is vague enough to allow legitimate websites to be removed, simply because they have the potential to be used to circumvent copyright. There is nothing wrong with trying to prevent piracy, but using wide, sweeping legislation, that can be abused, is certainly a bad way to go about things. For a much better explanation, let me hand things over to one of my Internet idols, TotalBiscuit:
So, with yourself educated, here's what you can do: contact your elected Representatives and Senators, and urge them to oppose these bills. By all means, maintain courtesy, but make it known that you will not be inclined to re-elect those Congressmen that support legislation that could drastically alter the Internet.
