The game is a lovely experience! I do recommend it, especially if you're looking a way to relax and just pick up plants and pet chickens.

I wonder if this thing is some type of power up in the Mario Universe. What do you think it would do? It's the one cup logo in Mario Kart 8 that isn't an established power-up or usable item not counting the crossover symbols.

About how long does it take for you to be strong enough to beat the Ender Dragon in Minecraft? Like, I'm working myself up to making more and more advanced items, but it's slow going. How do I know if I'm even doing it right? Is it supposed to take a while? If so maybe I should just relax a bit and not put pressure on myself. Also where does the Ender Dragon live, just so I can go kill it when the time comes?

The Ender Dragon is in the End. To go there you'll need to find a portal inside an underground Stronghold and fix it with Eyes of Ender (blaze rod dust + enderpearl). You can try to locate a Stronghold by using Eyes of Ender and following the direction they fly in (and dig).

As for the fight itself, it depends on how comfortable you are with the controls and game jank. You should definitely have a bow and enough arrows because you'll need to hit some remote targets in the air. Diamond armor would be helpful too, and some healing options are a good idea as well. Optionally you could bring some empty bottles if you want to collect dragon breath clouds that'll be left on the ground during the fight.

Beyond that the dragon isn't really a big deal. You definitely have to go way out of your way to enter this fight, so if you don't want to do it, you can just keep playing the game normally. This isn't something you can stumble into accidentally.

Hi Sonic, I wanted to chime in as a Minecraft fan but Lin Beifong beat me to it! Their answer is really helpful and comprehensive. I'm going to add onto their answer and do so in a spoiler tag, both because this is a bit lengthy (apologies for that) and also it contains a few details about the end dimension that might be considered low-key spoilery and I wasn't sure how strongly you feel you want it to be a surprise what happens when you go to the end.

In my opinion beating the Ender Dragon is definitely worth doing at some point, because it feels rewarding to "beat the game" and roll the credits, and it opens up a lot of very useful options in the game, however as Lin Beifong says it's optional and you can choose to enter it any time you feel ready, so by all means relax and don't feel pressured to do it asap.

If you want you can practise the fight by making a new world in Creative Mode with Cheats enabled, you can find end portal frame and eyes of ender in the creative mode inventory and build a portal but don't enter it (it's kind of hard for me to explain this with words but if you want i can send you a video guide), then use the creative inventory to give yourself all the items you want, run the command "/gamemode survival" to change to survival mode, then go in and practise fighting the dragon. Alternatively, I can film a video tutorial of the dragon fight for you and send it to you, if you wish.

If you want to be on the safe side then consult this checklist I made for beating the ender dragon: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10unJFb2Q3nojB9O6iiKsTUECP5bT-IaDR_QWLVVu3hk/edit?usp=sharing

Obviously it's kind of a balance, because stronger gear makes you more likely to win, but also takes more time and effort to get in the first place and is a bigger loss if you die in the fight - you really don't want to fall into the void during the ender dragon fight, because then all your stuff is 100% gone, whereas if you die by any other way then you can re-enter the End dimension and try to get your stuff back, as long as you can reach it within 5 minutes of re-entering the End. So I also recommend setting your spawn near the portal with a bed and having a backup chest with more armour, weapons, blocks, food, and ender pearls. Note that once you enter the End dimension there are only two ways to leave: death or winning against the Ender Dragon.

I'd say it varies very much but overall I feel like it takes me about 20-24 hours in a world in a normal/casual playthrough before I feel confident to beat the dragon. But it's definitely more about what stuff you have then how long you've been playing.

Very best of luck Sonic, do keep us updated and let us know if you have any further questions.

In Regards ro Fashion I really don't understand certain things/don't get why, like why do people enjoy ripped jeans? You buy clothes that are already ruined for your cold, hard cash, and why do you need to wear black to funerals? And why do people insist (especially girls) on wearing shorts in the fall and winter months and alongside this wearing short shirts and essentially tank tops DURING THE WINTER? I just don't understand why to me fashion is dumb and I will always choose something practical over something fashionable and the only advice i can give fashion wise is wear matching or slight contrasting colors oh and don't buy ripped jeans they just need to go away.

Hi everyone, I just finished Season 2 of Adventure Time on my DVD collection. I enjoyed it a lot, and more than season 1, which was already great. Here are my thoughts:
  • My favourite episodes were Guardians of Sunshine and To Cut a Woman's Hair. The former since as a video game fan it was awesome to see an episode themed around video games and to see Finn and Jake in a bizzare yet interesting new visual style. The latter because the premise was hilariously bizzare and the episode was full of fun scenes with Finn trying to get hair from various princesses. I also loved the ending where
    Finn finally gets hair from Princess Bubblegum, but it turns out her hair is actually literal bubblegum, so Finn is revealed to have epic long blonde hair and gives it up to the witch because he's a hero, but she plans to use it for evil, but then trips on it. However, I did find the scene with Princess Beautiful to be a bit too morbid for my liking.
  • My least favourite episode was Slow Love, it wasn't bad but I found it less enjoyable than others, and
    I guess I wasn't a fan of how it comes off to me as suggesting that romances between different races/species aren't meant to be even if that probably wasn't the intent. I also found some of the pickup lines pretty cringe and some of the scenes involving the slime a little gross.
  • I thought Loyalty to the King was a decent season premiere, and do vaguely remember it from when I was a kid.
  • It Came From the Nightosphere was a great episode and a cool debut for Marceline's dad, as well as great progression for Marceline's character and her relationship with Finn following on from Henchman in season 1.
  • The Eyes was a very weird episode but a fairly funny one too, and I definitely didn't see the twist at the end coming!
  • Crystals Have Power was an ok episode, and I'm glad that the bizzare ending of Tree Trunks from season 1 was finally explained and followed up on.
  • The Real You was a fantastic and nostalgic episode, with very cool dimensional bubbles and a great moral about how being true to yourself is more important than trying to impress others.
  • Susan Strong was a very interesting episode which builds on the lore of the series as it reveals that Finn is one of the very few remaining humans to the point he's never met any others.
    However, the ending reveals that the "humans" Finn met are not actually humans, with the exception of Susan for whom it's not revealed and left on a cliffhanger.
  • Mystery Train is a fun episode where Finn turns 13, and it reminds me a lot of MLP:FiM "MMMystery on the Friendship Express", which is also a "murder"-mystery style episode set on a train in an animated kids' show.
  • The Limit was an excellent and fairly nostalgic episode, with an interesting premise about Jake using his powers to help navigate a maze but his stretchy powers have a limit and he pushes himself too far. I also really liked the ending where
    the Hot Dog Knights and Jake waste their wishes but Finn uses his smarts to wish for the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant, whom he then tames and has use its own wish to save Jake and the Hot Dog Knights, then escapes.
    This episode has a very good moral about how you shouldn't let peer pressure make you do things that aren't safe, healthy, or comfortable for you.
  • The season finale, Mortal Folly and Mortal Recoil, is the first two-parter of Adventure Time so far, and I enjoyed it a lot despite finding it very weird and confusing at times (especially part 2). It's a very dramatic epsiode which develops the lore of Adventure Time's world a lot, introduces a very threatening villain, and very much sets up for the third season. I definitely appreciate it feeling like a true finale as opposed to Gut Grinder which was very underwhelming for the first season's finale. I really disliked Ice King in this though,
    Particularly his carelessness being entirely responsible for Princess Bubblegum being dropped in the Lich's well, and his creepy behaviour of kidnapping her and wanting to marry her and trying to get Finn - a 13 year old - to bless that for some reason while getting in the way of his very important mission of stopping the Lich, and especially when he shows Finn and Jake he's written her name all over his arms and legs, that was yuck.
    I also liked that they kept the continuity around Finn's age since he was 12 in Tree Trunks and had a birthday in Mystery Train, and they referenced Billy from His Hero.

That's all for my thoughts on season 2! Overall, I really feel like I'm enjoying Adventure Time and that the series is really picking up and developing its lore now. I'm looking forward to season 3 a lot!

Hey MiracleDinner I was wondering, do you have any pets? I have a Cavapoo named Sophie and she is so cute. I also had two dogs and a cat. They lived long lives, but they've sadly passed away by now.

If we know DK well, why does the DK Rap has to go into detail on who he is?
