I stick around 10 to 12 hearts as they give you good speed and that 3+ block jumping ability. I don't know if this is the rule, but in my experience it has. The more hearts the horse has the the slower you go however. Some have 5 hearts, while others have 15+ hearts. Oh! I forgot: Also some horses are MUCH weaker than others. You will find on many occasions that you can just jump over 3+ high blocks and save time by not having to go around or build over. ![]() You will have the same problem with a fast horse, but you can travel faster. Will save you a lot of time when traveling, as you often have to detour on foot or build over 2+ high blocks. I would suggest finding a horse that can jump 3 blocks, but goes at a moderate pace. Some go slower, but can jump 3 blocks (Maybe even 4, but I haven't seen or found one). Maybe you were in a previous version of minecraft? Also, not all horses are even! Some horses can go faster, but only able to jump a block and a half high. You may need to push them across the water and get back on. They won't start drowning, they will swim. Don't forget to go forward at the same time. To do this you need to hold down the space bar until the action bar (above your items) reaches the top of the blue (see image). I've read online that they can jump high, but I've only been able to get mine to jump 2 blocks high. If you do this, use a lead to get your Horse out of the water so you can ride it again.Ī horse can walk over flat land and over blocks that are 1 block high. If you do, you will be thrown off the Horse and the Horse will start drowning. You cannot ride in water that is deeper than 1 block. It goes right below where you put the saddle. Drag the saddle up where the outline of the saddle is. This will open up your inventory and the Horse's menu. ![]() And for that reason, I'm far more excited about what next year will bring in terms of indie and flash micro-gaming than I am about any or all of the big-name stuff we're due.Once your Horse is tamed, it will no longer buck you off, but you need to put a saddle on it before you can control where it goes.Įither get on the Horse or point towards the Horse and open your inventory menu. "You need to blog about more games like that", he demanded afterwards. Turns out he'd picked up YHTBTR from RPS and adored it - as he proved by singing pretty much the entire credits music at me. This is guy for whom, love 'im, GTA IV and COD IV were the biggest gaming events of the year, so I wasn't really expecting him to be so enthusiastic about something that didn't involve man-killing. Anecdote time - whilst visiting a university chum a couple of weeks back, he surprised me by bringing up YHTBTR. Now all I have to do is figure out how to complete the game and my year will be complete.Īlec: I just feel so sorry for that poor rope. My need to play along was the walkthrough I wrote, which took me a frightening amount of time to create as I painstakingly created the ASCII title, before someone told me that - obviously - there are sites that generate it automatically for you. A special piece of smart nonsense designed to make us knowingly laugh. Regarding Jim's comment about wanting to join in, it was like a viral meme that was just for us gamers. But I also think it's pretty self-evident. John: I think it's possible to spend a considerable amount of time being quite specifically wanky about why this was such a good idea, and why it caught so much of people's imagination. And - wankmodeon - probably a better artifact of what gaming is about in 2008 than anything you'll find in the all format top 10 at Christmas. But why would you dissect that particularly butterfly? Totally commendable. And, yeah, it's the sort of thing you could totally write a proper clever piece of deconstruction around. You sit down in the morning with the tea, turn on the computer and never know what the world's going to present you - and never really know what the world's going to do when you present something back. It's this kind of sudden surge of unexpected enthusiasm that makes bloggery so much fun. Anyway, what a peculiar phenomenon this was: an out-pouring of riffing on the idea, as if people want to absolutely confirm that they got the joke. Games as one-liners? Puns? They're already heavy on the slapstick. Kieron always says that you should be able to joke about anything, but perhaps you should also be able to make anything into a joke. Jim: Whatever we write about this game, it can't be long. ![]() (Warning: this article contains spoilers) Inspiration itself?įor the eighth game of Christmas, my true blog gave to me…
