When you're balancing real life and a secret, superhero identity it can sometimes be a bit of a jumble to keep everything straight and not do dumb things like tweet EO stuff on your real twitter account and so on.
I've never done it because I'm hella organized. When I'm me I'm me and when I'm WickedFrost I'm the paragon of virtue that you all dearly love and crave for supper. I pull out the old character sheet (which is now 9 pages long) with details and accounts and passwords and the like.
The challenge, really, has been that when I'm WickedFrost I was going into "Incognito Mode" and having to manually enter passwords and log in again and again if I wanted to do the blog, check in on Treos, upload a YouTube video etc.
It really was a pain in the ass and meant that being WickedFrost sometimes took more time than I was interested in putting into it. And so neglect. For you. Which sucks. For you.
Then today. Ephiphany.
What. The. Fuck. Are. You. Doing.
Download another browser. Be WickedFrost there.
I'm an idiot. So know I have a brand spanking new browser (which still isn't as good as Chrome but for this who the fuck cares). My worlds are separate. There's no chance of dumb mistakes since all the windows are separate. And now I can interact with WickedFrost in the background and be really damned efficient.
So there you go.
I learned something today.
And so did you.
Or not.
Whatevs. I'm cool.
Anyways - comment section. Things you've done the hard way for a long time and then the easy way kicks you in the groin.
KGO.

Let's Play Minecraft
Alright. Might as well do the minecraft thing 12 minutes at a time. I'm starting off with a survival island seed. 1 tree. No sheep. No animals. Just grass and sugar cane. I'll probably die of starvation or creeper explosion before I get too far but let's see what we can do with it.
In the comment section below: Post your youtube link with your attempt at the same seed.
Rules. 12 minutes at a time. No cheats. No starting chest. Keep up with me and let's see how we compare with one another.
A couple of things: Here's what I use for video capture. http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/
And - the seed.
Settings: Large Biomes
Seed: -2510345707698934093
Make sure you set it for Large Biomes in the advanced settings or you won't get the island.
Here's episode 1. Enjoy.

What am I listening to?
Right now?
I'm listening to LIGHTS. Canadian, electropop, awesomesauce.
"Up We Go" is one of those midsummer, party's still going, a little tired, but not quite at the "this was the best summer memories" song yet. Great for driving to the beach or dreaming about the potential of September. The thing I like about LIGHTS is her layering of electronic elements without them overpowering the underlying pop foundation.
She is easy to listen to yet the music is sublime in its complexity as you listen again and again.
Bonus points if you go vinyl: http://store.iamlights.com/music/little-machines-colored-vinyl-bundle.html
By the way - conversation starter - Vinyl's resurgence. Are you in on this or still clinging to your ipod?

Cruside's EO Update
The details of the video aren't actually important (Cru's wrong - this is just a server error that needs to be reset) but the fact of the video is. Cruside is definitely worth the subscribe for some up to date video news of what's going on in EO.
Of course - he's not the only game in town when it comes to EO YouTube channels. You should, of course, add me: https://www.youtube.com/user/PrinceWikky
If you haven't - well, obviously you're doing it right now. I'll wait.
Then there's the obligatory twitter feed: tw/IAmWickedFrost which you can find spewing truth on the right side of the blog.
And you can find the community all the way over at http://www.treos.org/
If you've got a blog, a channel, a twitter account that you'd like to share. Tweet me, leave a comment, pm me at the forums.
I'll pimp your shit. That's how we roll.
Over and out.

Are you ready?
And more.
I can't say any more. Sworn to near secrecy and all. Though I have been authorized to leak a few screenshots over the next few days.
I can tell you that what I've seen so far is awesome.
Stay tuned.

Minecraft: Ultrahardcore!
I'm probably late to the game on this. No doubt you folks are already done with it but I'm just getting around to Ultra Hardcore Minecraft.
As someone who is primarily a builder in Minecraft it was getting static for me. Find something new. Build it. Repeat. Sometimes I would have a flash of creative brilliance or challenge myself with stuff like 5x5 compact apartment builds. At the end of the day, though, the only thing I really worried about was griefers on the Westworld servers (http://www.westworldmc.com/).
So I'm checking recommends on YouTube and it points me to an UHC video. Alright. I've got to give this a try, I think. So I did. Intense.
You wouldn't think it is - but having 90 minutes to survive and build yourself up against 44 other people (sometimes in teams) - is quite the mental sprint. You've got to get the right things, a little bit lucky, and oh yeah - skellies are going to kill you.
Right now I'm picking up a match or two each week through the reddit ultrahardcore group.
http://www.reddit.com/r/ultrahardcore/
There are instructions for joining, hosting, etc. Even a match calendar that lets you know what's coming up next with a number of variations on a theme.
The next match is on in 10 minutes. Time to focus on enchanting!
