Whois & Analysis for mcprohosting.com

Minecraft is a sandbox video game originally created and designed by Swedish game designer Markus "Notch" Persson, and later fully developed and published by Mojang.

The creative and building aspects of Minecraft enable players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world.

Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat.

Multiple gameplay modes are available, including a survival mode where the player must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, a where players have unlimited resources to build with and the ability to fly, an where players can play custom maps created by other players, and a spectator mode where players can fly around and clip through blocks, but cannot place or destroy any.

The PC version of the game is noted for its modding scene, where a dedicated community creates new gameplay mechanics, items, and assets for the game.

Factorio is an upcoming real-time strategy video game in development by Wube Software.

The completed version is scheduled to be released in 2017 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux.

A game server (also sometimes referred to as a host) is a server which is the authoritative source of events in a multiplayer video game.

The server transmits enough data about its internal state to allow its connected clients to maintain their own accurate version of the game world for display to players.

They also receive and process each player's input.

A Platform game (or platformer) is a video game which involves guiding an avatar to jump between suspended platforms and/or over obstacles to advance the game.

The player controls the jumps to avoid letting the avatar fall from platforms or miss necessary jumps.

The most common unifying element of games of this genre is the jump button, but now there are other alternative like swiping in touchscreen.

Jumping, in this genre, may include swinging from extendable arms, as in Ristar or Bionic Commando, or bouncing from springboards or trampolines, as in Alpha Waves.

These mechanics, even in the context of other genres, are commonly called platforming, a verbification of platform.

Games where jumping is automated completely, such as 3D games in The Legend of Zelda series, fall outside of the genre.

Halo rings are eponymous fictional megastructures and superweapons in the Halo science fiction franchise.

They are referred to as "Installations" by their AI monitors, and are collectively referred to as "the Array" by the installations' creators, the Forerunners.

The series' alien antagonists, the Covenant, refer to the structures as the "Sacred Rings", believing them to form part of a greater religious prophecy known as "The Great Journey".

According to Halos fiction, the Forerunners built the rings to contain and study the Flood, an infectious alien parasite.

The rings act together as a weapon of last resort; when fired, the rings kill any sentient life capable of falling prey to the Flood, starving the parasite of its food.

The installations are at the crux of the plot progression for the Halo series.
