I highly doubt most of you would remember me; but anyway, I've been messing around with Minecraft (a little too much if you ask me) but I got to thinking; what if there were a 3D Virtual Villagers and it just made me come back to the forums to check out what's been going on in my absence. Long story short, I hope to be coming back here more often.

OH, my goodness! You're baaaaaack! The lost penguin has returned to ... (ummm. never mind - the metaphor breaks down quickly)!

So, NP, are you still in Africa or have you landed in a place with more reliable Internet connections. (My grandsons love Minecraft, by the way!)

Welcome back!!!

From the ethereal mists
Or perhaps just a void
Returns to us now
A hunter so bold.

With wizardly ways
And ancient Kung Fu
He's tackled Great Things
At least one or two.

And now this thing called Min craft
Whatever that be
Hath summoned thee back
To the Family VV!

PS welcome back.

heh still in Africa; might even become a citizen (gotta wait 3 more years though.) I'm still teaching computer programming, and recently created the first ever online store in Tanzania (but I won't advertise anything here, don't worry heh.) I just bought VF2 for my Galaxy S3 and man good work guys.

oh; I've also started making tutorials for how to do stuff in Minecraft using circuits and levers and pistons and ... stuff.

That's really cool, NP! I might have to twist your arm to share some Minecraft stuff with me that I could pass on to my grandsons! My daughter made some really great (physical) diamond swords and other Minecraft goodies for them for Christmas, but that's not that same as circuits and levers and pistons and ... stuff!

Stuff! LOL
