I’ve been attending
Lanslide
since its second iteration and have a had a great time in the events I’ve been
to. The last time I went I managed to win the Minecraft competition with my
Jungle
Greenhouse though at that time I only had one opponent and this most
recently I had no competition which makes it kind of easy to win. Saying I
really don’t have a problem with winning by default and I’m no stranger to it,
especially with Minecraft. I went to 3 Minecraft competitions at the now closed
Melbourne Mana Bar in which the first was a big turnout with my Tribalfield
buddies and us having some quite serious competition, then the second and third
times I was the only person who showed up for the competition.
Anyway, at Lanslide 5 the admins made a theme for this
events Minecraft Competition and that was Melbourne PC yes the business that
hosts the landslide events and I immediately wondered what the hell I was going
to make and the only two things I could think of was a giant computer or the
building itself so I decided to create the latter and ducked out to take some
photos of the front of the building. I think it came out pretty well apart from the meddling with the Pokeball and the explosions from my interfering colleagues, I also had
to stop-and-go with the tournaments I was in but I had enough time to make something
decent.

Early shot, I did this in the default texture pack as that would be what everyone would see it as. |

I added the Melb PC test up the top for extra effect |

Was taking screenshots every minute with fear that those idiots blowing up their Pokeball that they had built right near my building. |

Some night shots |

So that was that I won a creeper headrest hat and a set of coke glasses which is as good a prize as any I guess. I played in the League of Legends, Flatout2 and Armagetronad comps, was going to go in Starcraft II but that didn't end up happening. Anyway, fun times and looking forward to the next and possibly having some competition for the next Minecraft competition.
