Finally updated to 1.8.1 since Optimine will be up soon.
Was watching a live feed and some guys were talking about Game Booster.. it's actually quite nice.
It's a free little program that will shut off any background programs running, services, etc.
And then when you turn it off, it will reload all of those services (that's the nice part)

Anyways.. so updated to 1.8 .. **** ME.
First map I spawned on was a damn island; I wish I realized the value of it before I deleted it, but I turned around, and this island was literally the size of my bedroom; it had two trees, and you couldn't walk for more than 3 seconds in any direction until you hit ocean.
Second map was lost in a forest
third .. swamp
fourth swamp
fifth forest
sixth .. swamp forest with a river
seventh.. ****ing forest.
I am sick of spawning in shitty maps, it's really irritating, I spawn and have let chunks load way out to see anything and there's nothing.
I tried creative mode, spawned.. ****ing forest, flew for a solid 2 minutes and it was ALL forest.
really irritating.
I did come across an interesting spawn, it was a forest, walked into a swamp (go ****ing figure) and there was some lava at sea level; and it was setting the entire forest on fire, that's pretty cool, haven't seen that before.
So ... gonna go for it again until I get a normal map where I don't have to run for 2 days with no defense or anything because I'm on flat ground with just trees and no other supplies
