Contest mistake

So yeah...Apparently I wasn't suppose to let people know who I was in the contest, plus the judges felt that me promising my prize to my fans was me trying to get favorable votes. So even IF I do win I won't get a "Trophy" or any prize(Though I will get posted as one of the winners) so yeah...Kind of a stupid mistake on my part, I didn't even think about that at the time.

Good news!

Good news everyone(For once) I got my parts and installed them all correctly.

I'm hoping to have no more problems with recording and that should mean more movies for you guys AND better quality! sorry there hasn't been a video up today, there may not be one up tomorrow either since I still have to install everything again but we can hope!

Cow Statue is up!

I finally finished my cow statue, it took tons of time, efforts, and screw ups but I did it! Its a complete 1:1 ratio, one block per pixel. It didn't come out perfect but it came out really good if I do say so myself, what do you think?

If I win I will give out the prizes(Which are minecraft gift codes) to all of my fans!

Audio Problems

Hmm I've been trying to record a few video's lately but it seems...I have to set my ingame volume down to like...9% just so it doesn't over power my voice while recording. I'm not sure why, I Tried  updating my sound cards drivers but it seems to do little good. I -may- have to record a couple of my next video's without ingame sound if this keeps up.

If anyone can help it means continuation of minecraft sounds with my voice!(At a reasonable level at that!)

New computer parts are on their way!

I finally got enough donations to order the parts I needed and they -should- be here monday(tomorrow!) but I don't think i'm going to beable to get a windows 7 OS disk like I wanted... I was going to borrow the money to get it but it turns out its actually 200 dollars, not 100(which is the upgrade version) so i'm not sure if my old OS disk(the one that came with my current prebuilt computer) will work or not..

Sigh, it feels like I'm cursed with computer problems. If none of you see me online for a while it may be because of things not working out.

Tyken:Origins

I'm sure alot of you have wondered where the name "Tyken" comes from and I Don't think I ever explained it.

Well its a funny and kind of interesting story, if not a short one. I started playing World of Warcraft a few years ago and I was always bad thinking of names that I like. One day while getting frustrated while making a new character, all of the names I liked were "Taken". After seeing that a few times I thought...."Wait a moment...Thats it! its name is Taken!" Of course that'd be a silly name so I decided to make it sound cooler, Hence the name "Tyken" was born.

Like I said its a bit of a silly story but the results were amazing. The name is cool and has a bit of an exotic yet catchy ring to it. Inspiration comes from weird sources, huh?

Update

Just a quick update I wanted to let all my fans know. I decided to take the weekend off to do some things i've been meaning to do such as work on my texture pack, work on my test world, as well as work on my cow statue and  a few other things. I've gotten alot done ("as you can see here") but my sleep cycle got totally wrecked. Been falling asleep at like 5pm and waiting up at like 12am. Kinda messes things up and makes it hard to do videos.

Also, I could really use some help with my contest videos. Sifting through them all requires alot of time and effort and I'd really like it if someone wouldn't mind helping me out.

basically I plan to link all the dl links on a word pad, number them, then ask people to check out the worlds, rate them, leave a few notes, then send it back to me so I have a good idea where to start. It will be hard work but if you don't mind helping me out i'll give you a shout out during my contest videos. The only catch is you can't be in the contest if you want to judge.
