Speaking of HIM, what is that little yellow thing near the bottom-right of the picture? It looks kinda like a person without a head and holding a sword or rapier.

I think it's a fox. Maybe a mod perhaps?
Hey guys.
I've been playing a lot of this on my desktop, and just recently
downloaded it to the laptop. Problem is, every time that I try and log in, it
gives me an error report regarding my video card drivers.
I updated them via the Intel website, but am still getting the error.
I know that this isn't a thread dedicated to helping the computer un-savy,
but I thought I'd ask in case it was a simple fix.
Hoping that I can get this all behind me and enjoy the game again.

The Error report
Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------
Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

It's likely just that. You're laptop doesn't have a video card that's good enough to run Minecraft. Despite how blocky and "old" it looks, it still does some hefty things with lighting and transparency. The solution would be to buy a newer graphics card for your laptop, unless I'm completely wrong.
Actually I'm pretty sure the bulk of the resource heaviness has to do with the programming; the game isn't coded very efficiently. Lighting and transparency aren't a big deal. I can run Resident Evil 5 better than Minecraft (I have a gaming laptop). His video card should be able to handle it, but he didn't give any details about the card so I may be mistaken.
But yeah Smogon isn't the best place to ask for technical help with the game. Just a quick google search shows that you're not the only one with the problem. Best help I could find is this, but there doesn't seem to be some univseral foolproof fix for the error.
Yeah, I guess the programming does do more, but a lot of people seem to say, "oh why do I need a graphics card? The game looks all blocky!" That was more of my point.
I've gotten a similar error with older computers and it was the graphics card, but that's going off of my memory on what the error looked like.
It's a fox; I have the Mo' Creatures mod installed :)
So in case anyone has been wondering where I went off to. I was building this:
its a two story, 37x24x10 mansion
I can essentially live in it without ever having to go outside.
Bottom floor (5 pics)
The first picture is the great room, it is the central hub of the downstairs, you can see the forge room and the mine in that picture, but there are 4 rooms that line the outside of the room.
The second picture is my mine. I'm planning on replacing that grass with black sheep wool, so chickens and pigs will stop spawning in my mine.
The third picture is my green room, I tend to have a ton of chickens spawn in it, so I decided to just keep it as it is. A couple animals tend to spawn in there every time I'm in my house, its quite useful.
The fourth picture is my forge room. Its got a wool floor and cobble and wood walls. Not too much to say.
The fifth picture is my chest/workbench room. Again, not much to say.
In the first picture there is a staircase, which leads to this:
That is the upstairs of the mansion. I'm not too sure what I want to do with it yet, so suggestions would be useful!
It has a balcony across from the stairwell, which gives me views like this:
Anyways, that is what I've been up to. The texture mod I'm using is the legopak, which is purely for nostalgia's sake, but I also like the wood texture on the legopak, so its a bonus.

There's a livestream with the machinima guys and Notch tonight, he'll be taking questions and stuff! I won't be able to watch unfortunately I'll be out of town and won't be playing likely all weekend. I'll miss all you guys except maybe forks.

Don't have too much impressive going on--basic wheat, sugarcane, and cactus farms, a monster farm, and a lava moat surrounding an ugly house. Recently though my mob spawn rate plummeted for some reason. It was zero before I redownloaded Minecraft and afterwards I've literally seen one aggressive mob in about 5 hours (and yes I made sure it wasn't on peaceful). Hell, I've only seen 1 sheep and 3 cows (all spawned at the same time) in that amount of time. I honestly don't know what's going on. Anyone else have this problem?
There's a spheal in all its roly poly glory nearby the entrance of skysoar. Not that you could miss it with the huge lava filled sign! I'll leave it up to Dan to show off the place properly with one of his videos.
I've been on the smogcraft server a while now and I'm still finding new things people have made. It would help if I actually ran around the place a bit instead of staying holed up around blue moon lagoon but still!
I'm suddenly realising the amount of stuff I need to cover in my videos....nonetheless, Episode 2 is now live on the Smogcraft Channel, taking a look at Blue Moon Lagoon and surrounding areas. Definitely didn't get to cover everything I wanted in that episode, so there may be a part II by the end of the weekend......
d'awwwww
baby spheal is finished :D so cute, excellent work rawbi (Y)

RG's skin is excellent, I must say.
Not to detract from the awesomeness of Dan's skin either, Wyv did a really good job there.
I'll just wallow in my nerdy, basic representation of myself then... Unless someone can make me a really good skin? There's a challenge :P
