Hello, I'm Pickledineen. I've been playing Minecraft since the middle of August, 2011, and 1.7.3 was the first version I played. I know many alpha players will probably think I'm still a "newbish", but I have learned quite a bit about Minecraft and even know some intermediate redstone techniques.

When 1.8 came out, I disliked it quite a lot, but 1.9/1.0 has repaired it substantially in my opinion by finishing most of the "half finished features" like XP.

My Minecraft username is Pickledineen0.

I use Steam now for buying games, but most of them are on disc. My Steam account is pickledineen.

Most of the edits I make on wikis are to improve clarity and fix GSP (Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation); I also rewrite sections sometimes and improve spacing so the page size is smaller. If you look hard enough, you can probably find me on other wikis though my name usually is a little different.

Probably the most common way I die is by a sneaky creeper, though lava and swarms of mobs often get me too. Often when I make mines, I branch mine though clearing a whole area underground is good to get stone for a castle. I still have yet to defeat the Ender Dragon, but my main focus in the game is building and not adventure. I have gotten to the Nether many times and absolutely adore the new alchemy system. Enchanting is fun too but basically requires an XP farm.

I also regularly go on Youtube. Here are some of the channels I like (Some may be missing):
 * The Mindfiend
 * Team JCSB
 * UberHaxorNova
 * SSoHPKC
 * Minecraftaddict
 * GoodOldGamer
 * EthosLab
 * Docm77

Some other games and series I enjoy are:
 * Elder Scrolls and Fallout series
 * Terraria
 * Stronghold & Stronghold Crusader
 * Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 & 2
 * Assassins Creed series
 * Red Dead Redemption & Grand Theft Auto IV
 * The Saboteur
 * Mafia II
 * Borderlands
 * Team Fortress 2
 * Civilization series

As you can probably tell, I like a lot of sandbox games, RPGs, and strategy games. I do enjoy other games, but these 3 genres top the rest by far.

Also if you're interested, here are my system specs:
 * Model: Acer Aspire 5755G Laptop
 * OS:   Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
 * Res:  1366 x 768 @60Hz
 * CPU:  Intel Core i5-2430 2.4GHz
 * RAM:  4GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @665MHz
 * HDD:  488GB SATA
 * GPU:  Nvidia GT 540m 1GB Dedicated; Intel HD Graphics Integrated

I can play Minecraft on High settings with about 100 fps and no stuttering.
