Hello again everybody.
I have decided to start putting other things on this website. I may end up changing the name of the site, because I plan on doing reviews of other games, and more general posts about random things. This is going to possibly become a side-project again, and I want to keep it going.
See you soon,

Magic Launcher is by far the best launcher I have seen. It looks

It is designed for people that use servers with Spout plugins on them. They are certain plugins that only work with people using the Spoutcraft launcher but can be very powerful. Spoutcraft also features an Optifine like options menu. I highly recommend it but if you are not going to use Spout enabled servers I would stick with MagicLauncher.
The last launcher I will talk about is the Curse launcher. I do not have a picture of it, nor do I have much experience with it as I saw it yesterday. It is a launcher that work with other games like Skyrim addons, not only Minecraft mods. I haven't tried it but if you are the person with lots of games and only want one launcher then this is the launcher for you.
There are some other launchers I have not talked about like the EvilMInecraft and TechnicLaunchers but these are specific to a certain mod pack for Minecraft. Even though I have not talked about them feel free to try them as they may be the Minecraft version for you.
If you have bothered to read all of this, well done. I hope you stick around on this site and on our channel, we will be uploading more things pretty soon.

I will not post a link to a Cracked Minecraft Launcher as it is illegal. If you want one you will have to find it yourself.

I can't find a link to the Curse Launcher but having a look around MinecraftForum might yield results.
Texture Pack Breakdown
If you are still using the default Minecraft textures this is what you are missing out on. By default, Minecraft uses 16x16 pixel textures for each block, but HD texture packs can cram more pixels into each block, making each block look more realistic and beautiful.
To put these textures on you need to use either the HD Texture Pack Patcher or a mod called Optifine. The links will be found at the bottom of this post. They basically modify the minecraft .jar to let it use larger images for blocks. Optifine is probably a better option as it adds lots of video options to Minecraft. You should check that out first as it is in most ways better.
The next thing to work out is what your computer can handle. There are many versions of texture packs with different pixel densities. The most common ones range from 16x (default), 32x, 64x, 128x, 256x and 512x. This means that each block is 32 by 32 and 64 by 64 pixels respectively. Start low and work up to work out which version you can run without lag on your computer. Have a look around on Minecraft Forum and Planet Minecraft to find some good texture packs that you like.
My favourites are Sphax PureBDCraft and R3D CRAFT.

Another Dry Spell
Sorry again for abandoning you, all ten of you, I have just forgotten about this blog and about ocelotsandwolves. I now have two months of holidays and will be able to make more videos and posts. My friend Hrrold will soon have upgraded his computer as well, so we may be able to record things. I have also got lots of videos I made ages ago with the explosives+ mod. They are quite cool and I will slowly upload all of them.
I hope I can get this blog and channel back up and running.
I look forward to getting videos out as regularly as possible.

Minecraft Music!!
We got back early from a bands festival so two of my friends decided to go into a practice room and play music. This is one piece they played (Living Mice). They also played another song but I couldn't get my iPod out quickly enough. I hope you enjoy.

Nova Bomb Explosion Video
Yesterday Hrrold, Co-Owner of Ocelotsandwolves added a video he made ages ago using the Explosives Plus mod. I think it is quite cool. The links to everything we used to make the video are in the description. Hope you enjoy!

Cardistry Video
My friend over at JacksAndJokersMagic made an awesome cardistry video. He loves doing card tricks and will hopefully start putting up more of this stuff. He will also probably be doing card trick tutorials and such. It would be a good idea to check him out.
His Latest Video - Backyard Cardistry
Should have a pretty cool nova bomb explosion (from explosives+) going up tomorrow on ocelotsandwolves. Stay tuned for that.
