Has it Been Long?

It's been a while since I last posted, new record! And now I'm back, what's new?

A lot of you may know that between the last post and this Minecraft 1.8 was released, sadly though this has brought a few issues with Minecraft for me, currently I'm not just getting an increase in lag (while others got an Fps boost), but I'm also experiencing a glitch where my cobblestone won't smelt back into stone, which wasted a lot of coal that I'll have to cheat in till I find my issue (I'm also suffering a clog in the system with nearly a stack of stacks of cobblestone.) In Civ I did a Cold War of England (myself) and the United States (Washington AI) vs. Russia (Catherine AI) and China (What's her face AI) which I started in the Industrial era. It was a quick war, the communists fell behind in science, but were ahead in military, which is how we beat the Freedom Russians and Autocratic Chinese with our Order. Now I know what you are thinking, historically, yes, Russia and China were the communists in the Cold War, while the UK (England, Scotland,Wales, and Northern Ireland) and the US were (and I'm describing this with the Civ Ideology) Freedom, but the AI went with Freedom (Russia) and Autocracy (China). In the end I entirely took them out of the game claiming all of their cities before they could complete their space ship (I let them get Apollo while I readied the navy to invade Indonesia), sadly for and China was weak, no navy to repel mine, a mini army near Beijing, and only a few Infantry units near her third and final city. Meanwhile during the peace between the capture of China's two cities, in Indonesia, and the second/final major war, I moved my navy to St. Petersburg, which was a bit more of a challenge to capture. But in a final war I moved troops from Indonesia to Ukraine(-ish area), which I got in a peace treaty with Catherine to end the first war, where Artillery protected the city while I bombarded St. Petersburg with Battleships and Destroyers, once St. Petersburg was out of the way I eliminated China (who never got a great general) and stormed Moscow with 3 units of Artillery, 2 units of Infantry, and a Marine, I was also able to get a Battleship to hit Moscow from St. Petersburg, but it wasn't too big. I also ended up going to a marching band thing Saturday which left me dead tired as soon as I got home, but not as tired as I was on Friday.

Also a few other things happened like 9/11, which I spend listening to in school, then watching documentaries on the History Channel (because that's all that airs on it in the US on 9/11), and of course there was/is also the whole Microsoft getting it's hands on Mojang, which does worry me a bit but I'll give Microsoft the benefit of a doubt, until they pull capitalistic greed and I join the community in leaving till its fixed.

So ya that's all, and I've given everyone the reminder that I don't like capitalism too much, granted I've been wanting to leave the US for a while now.
