Welcome to the Spon Chunks episode number 68 for Monday December 2nd 2019. My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is my friend Johnny

but you likely know him better as Pixel Riffs good day sir.

Hello we've already been talking for about half an hour, Joel.

It might not seem that way to some of you, but the render distance to the pre-show,

we talked for a while about No Man Sky and Pokemon and the various things that we wish could be better about both but the fact that we're both kind of enjoying them and if you want to listen to that of course you can get the extended conversation at patreon.com slash the spawn chunks.

Before we get into today's episode by the way quick

programming note because December is the the holiday month and we're gonna be

taking a break over Christmas. We are going to be, we're only going to be having three episodes in December.

This one that you're listening to now, December 9th is going to be our Chunk Mail dispenser

episode because otherwise we wouldn't get to do one, and December 16th because that's the Monday after the release of the buzzy bees

update we are going to be focusing on that primarily presuming there is a lot of stuff to talk about, which I think there will be.

So yeah, just to keep you guys in mind there are going to be no episodes on I believe the 23rd and the 30th of December and we should be back on January 6th with an episode after that.

Just keeping you guys in the loop.

So I know what I have been up to in Minecraft this week, but I don't know what you've been up to because you've been super busy and we actually haven't spoken since I think maybe the last podcast with the exception of a couple little quick notes on on discord. So like what have you been doing in the game man it's been a

busy week and largely because I've been waiting for thunderstorms that my main

project last week was a charged creeper head mob farm a charge creeper head mob farm. A charged creeper mob head farm. So I set up a

creeper spawning platform with trap doors overhead so that you only got mobs of a

certain height spawning, ignored the spiders, the creepers, I kept in a tank and name tagged one by one, and then if a thunderstorm happened, I ran back to that area and tried to throw a

trident at them unsuccessfully a couple of times but then I started an episode

where I said right we're gonna do it today come hell or high water.

And two minutes after I finished recording that clip,

I switched off my recording software.
