I'm leaning toward the fighting type.
I've tried to learn moves like close combat and aura sphere, but without success. Being a quilava, my physical strength is extremely limited--the only way to put enough force behind my physical attacks to make them worth while is through rocket propulsion, so I end up with flare blitz instead of close combat. The closest I've come to aura sphere is focus blast. |

I, being a volcano pokemon, have the nifty ability to harness the power of magma. By coating my slender body in magma and facing the water attack head-on, I reduce how much of my body's surface area is being hit. Once the water hits, the vapor barrier shoves the hot water around my body so I take minimal damage. Of course, magma can only stay hot for so long. Rapidly-cooling magma becomes basalt, which is a relatively hard type of igneous rock, so that also provides protection once the magma cools. |

Without a doubt, that would be when LD and I were on VR's Minecraft Server and exploring a cave. LD got killed by a mob (I think it was a skeleton), and I didn't have any torches and didn't feel safe by myself. So I boxed myself in with dirt and waited for her to get back. As I was waiting, I heard little footsteps, but didn't here any mob noises. We were too high for slimes to spawn (tiny slimes make foot noises instead of splat noises), so the only thing left for it to be was a creeper. I let LD know there was a creeper nearby, but when she got there, she didn't see a creeper. We started digging me out of my dirt box, but before we could break a single block, "That'ssssss a very nice rescue mission you have there..." And the creeper blew up.
LD had owies, but survived. I, on the other hand, was standing there unharmed. My entire dirt box was gone, but I hadn't taken a single heart of damage. Yes. These spots work very well as jet packs. |

I can't remember what my first enderman encounter was, but this is my earliest memory:
He teleported inside my house, directly into my line of sight, and started attacking me. I was backed into a corner with two hearts left when all of a sudden, the enderman turned around and ignored me. I didn't know what was going on until it was too late. Barky, the wolf I tamed, fell over and died. Despite only having two hearts left, I was driven by anger to avenge my beloved Barky. Armed with just my stone sword, I sprinted up behind the enderman and stabbed him in the back, killing him. Barky had done just enough damage to let me get that final attack. There's a happy ending, though. The benefit of one of your best friends being an operator is that he has the power to resurrect Barky. So, if you go on VR's Minecraft server and visit my house, Barky should still be sitting there guarding the place! |

No thanks. If I drink any sort of acidic beverage without having a meal to go with it, I get heart burn. You'd think I'd be immune to heart burn being a quilava and all, but that's not the case.
Unfortunately, no. I'm more of an explorer-builder. I find NPC villages, expand them until an Iron Golem will spawn, raid the surrounding caverns and mineshafts of every little resource, then move on to the next one. I typically have a central base of operations that I transport all my plunderings to upon exploring an area to my liking. I guess if you want to all my basic (and I mean EXTREMELY basic) railroad intersections clever, you could. I'm sure there are much better ways of doing them, though. |

Oh man oh man, asking the big questions now, are we?
Simply put, my favorite part of being one is learning how the site works and how various parts of it interact. Quote:
Short answer: It depends. If they're all coming at me and I didn't have to worry about the safety of others, I'd just fly over 'em or go hide in a subterranean lava chamber. Now, if they're all coming at me and I have to worry about the safety of others, I'd probably be out of luck. The only real way I'd have to stop something like that is to make a mountain range off the coast of every continent on the planet, which is a Herculean task even for me. Even then, the raising of said mountain ranges would itself cause tsunamis. |

Oh gosh, Quad. You're actually trying to make me THINK with these responses X3
I can't really think of any games I didn't like back then (mostly because I can't remember a whole lot of games from that time period). I'm sure such a game existed, but I can't remember it. I wanted to put that link to the youtube video in it, but my prior sig was too fancy and couldn't be modified because it was too long (don't ask how that happened). So, my super complex sig kinda went away 'cause I kinda thought no one looked at it. Oh well. The information in it was inaccurate anyway. I have a backup of it on my old computer, but I don't want to go to the trouble of starting that thing up because it takes, like, half an hour to get going. |

That depends on how you define "bug". If by "bug" you mean relatively small, multi-legged arthropods, then you'd be better off asking which ones I am not afraid to let touch me. Butterflies, Moths, and Ladybugs are the only ones you can be sure I won't be freaked out by. Then there are the bugs that I freak out when they touch me, but won't kill because I think they're cute.
Probably Moltres or Entei. |

![]() Short answer, no. Long answer, though somewhat nihilistic, is that I don't have a passion. Jack of all trades, master of none.

No. Uh-uh. Forget it. Not happening. I hate TNT. It has its uses, but only on super-hostile maps and PVP. The damage it causes is hard to control, and it's not exactly cheap to make. It's dangerous. It can potentially destroy valuable resources. It damages the scenery. One of the best parts of minecraft is the scenery, and I preserve it whenever I can.

What does one do when he does not know what riddle to use?
It'd be a different quilava drawing, most likely done by me but colored by someone else. An avatar is supposed to represent you, so it would have to be a quilava. Probably one of my more recent ones, like the newest one of a quilava with a ponytail. |

This answer's gonna require breaking the fourth wall a bit. By PK, I assume you simply mean psychic powers in general. In that case, yes. As to why I have such abilities, they're based off of the delta-species quilava card from the trading card game. When I first decided to use that idea for myself, I never stopped to consider that in the TCG, there is no distinction between the psychic type and the ghost type! So, the question becomes "Is it psychic power or poltergeist activity?" The jury is out on that one, so until I find an answer, I'm just gonna assume it's psychic power.

Heat vision happens. Not really. I'm effectively blind if you remove them. I can still see, but it's like trying to see through a sheet of waxed paper.
It's a bottom-tier holiday. Top-tier are things like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, or Independence Day. Middle-tier are ones like Halloween, New Year's Day and Valentine's Day. Another bottom-tier one would be something like Groundhog Day.* So, yeah, Earth Day isn't something that really grabs my attention. *my views on the importance of holidays may not reflect the views of others |

Go to layer 11 or 12, and then branch mine. The main branch should be maybe 3x3, but the little branches should be 2x1, just tall enough for you to fit through. Leave two spaces between each little branch. Layer 12 is the optimal layer to find diamonds. Have a fortune pickaxe on you for when you find diamonds. Use stone pickaxes (with optional efficiency I). Have an iron pickaxe for anything that isn't diamond. Repair the stone tools as you dig, make more as needed. You'll be needing to make diamond blocks to store them before you know it. That's the most boring, but fastest way to find diamonds.

As for how long I feel like playing, as long as I am able, typically. I'm driven to keep going by the "Oh, I'll just mine one more block", which turns into "Oh, until I hit a lava patch", which turns into "Until I find a lava patch I can't get through in a reasonable amount of time using a water bucket and diamond pick", which turns into "I can't get this far on foot because my hunger bar is drained half way."

It's like having a record of what I've found so far. I like being able to say, "Hey, look of this double chest of gold bars, and check out this single chest of gold blocks next to it!" Same thing with all the other ores, including coal. A practical use of gold, though, is to use it for enchanting helmets. Even a level 1 enchantment has a 16% chance of getting aqua affinity and 12.5% chance of respiration (3% of respiration II). Something with that kind of enchantment isn't going to be used in battle, so may as well put it on a gold helmet! You'll have to enchant seven or eight (on average) gold helmets to get one with one or the other, but apparently gold is relatively worthless (tell me again why we value that stuff so much IRL).

Right now, not much. It's terribly underdeveloped in my opinion and needs some serious TLC. The closest thing to useful would be blaze rods and glowstone. Glowstone can be crafted into a lamp using redstone dust, then wired up with redstone to create a mob spawner room that can have the inside lights turned on and off without the use of pistons. If you like hand-killing your mobs like I do, this is preferred to a mob grinder since it gives you combat training in a controlled environment. If you die, you can rig up a water system to push your items to a collection bin.
Blaze rods are the only way to brew potions, which are far more useful than you could ever imagine. Heat resistance potions make you immune to any form of hot. You can literally swim in lava for three minutes. Add some glowstone dust to it, and you can swim for eight minutes. Then there's the fantastic potion of speed. Used in tandem with sprint-jumping, you can run all the way across an entire map in no time at all--it's almost as fast as a mine cart on powered rails. Continuous powered rails. Just imagine if there was a potion of stamina that prevented your hunger bar from draining! |

Possible? Yes. Practical? No. Glowstone is a very ugly block in almost all cases. It does make for decent "lit pathways", but not so good for walls. Not to mention how fragile it is and that it is a non-renewable resource. Glowstone lamps would be better for a wall since they drop their own block instead of 2-4 dust, but still would be fragile. Personally, I like the lamps much more than the glowstone because they actually look like they have some sort of shade on them or something. Lamps, however, would present the problem of only being lit when powered.

Give me a second to de-archive those files. Uhm... That'd probably be playing "Fly down". I only would have been about two or three at that time. My sister would be in her little baby swing while I stood next to her with my little toy airplanes which, for some reason, were flying down into quicksand and trying to get back out. In retrospect, that probably was influenced by watching my grandma play Super Mario Bros 3. Her favorite power up was the leaf, so she usually had the flying ability, and had a frequent habit of falling in quicksand.

I assume you mean single item-wise. Probably either Lapis Lazuli or Iron. Lapis makes pretty blocks, and it's fun watching all the little shards fall out of the ore when you mine it--especially with a fortune pickaxe! Iron is fun though because it's more abundant and you can literally fill chests with solid blocks of the stuff. I like doing that.

I tend to get a kick out of the "Bobblehead Tom" segments of America's Funniest Home Videos. One montage in particular. It was a Halloween montage, if I recall correctly, and everyone was being scared half to death at the host's face. The face that was edited in over the actual face was a smiling one, so it looked kinda like everyone was screaming bloody murder at a large smiling head.
