Normally I am the biggest procrastinator in the world but I am going to do all of my homework now so that I will not have to be interrupted by anything.

This. xD

By the way, I think Jeb said it probably won't be Thursday, perhaps this weekend or early next week.

Well, like I said. It was called a "best estimate."

"Best guess" is now Monday. Whooptee doo.

Ah well, I can wait a bit longer for something that looks this awesome. Also, if you don't watch HatFilms' other Minecraft stuff, you should. They're pretty damn funny XD

I may actually buy this game once 1.8 comes out now that the problems my computer's been having seem to have been fixed [got through three sessions of the PC Gamer demo without a crash].

Sorry for the double-post, but 1.8 is now officially out. Opened up the Minecraft launcher and it was available as an update.

...I have a giant AP US History project due on Friday...

I guess I could always cut out my sleep schedule.

The only difference I've seen from the prerelease is Endermen's eyes are now purple rather than green. They haven't fixed the annoying bug where trying to shift+click an item out of a chest while your inventory is full crashes the game (Which is strange, since it was fixed in 1.7... I suppose there are a few more stability fixes and various other minor bugfixes, but I never really saw many.

Also, for those of you wondering, the fog key is now hold F3 and press F. Since it reloads all the chunks it can stop lag that you get that seems to build up the longer you play. (I know this has been known since infdev, but not a lot of people seem to know about it, so I just thought I'd throw that in there since it related)

They added a middle click feature too, as well as removing the debug time change (F6/F7) and fixing the bugs with the crafting tables and furnaces.

That's actually been around for ages. It's a bit useless, to be honest, it just makes it so that if you have a block in your hotbar and you right click a block of the same kind in the world that block will be selected. It's far easier to just scroll. But I am glad I can rebind the left+right mouse click functions - I don't have a use for it yet but I can see one coming...

I'm starting a co-op Let's Play of 1.8 with a friend... and and enemy... You'll understand if you watch them, but we don't have an episode out yet

It's going to be a very generic Minecraft Survival Let's Play, but with a little bit of a plot. Not a lot of plot, just a little...
