After searching quite a distance, I finally found a village. Even better, it was populated. Just in time, I was almost starving to death! I approached timidly, and saw the first signs of movement. The villagers all appear to look similar, they have large bald heads, unibrows, and seem to wear brown robes and keep mostly to themselves. Could these be... aliens? Wait, no, I'm the alien here.

I approached one of these people timidly and asked if they had any food I could borrow. The tall bald man stayed silent and gave me a disapproving glare. I apologised, and asked the man standing next to him. Same response.

At first there were only a couple, but I kept seeing more and more. Confused, I quietly turned on the HUD installed in my hi-tech specs. Almost instantly, my screen was flooded:

TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE TESTIFICATE

I realised that these Testificates had me surrounded, and were slowly closing in on me, all staring at me with those green eyes, the words TESTIFICATE continuing to fill my HUD...

And that's when I woke up screaming.

Minecraft 1.9's prerelease got "leaked" today, directly from Jeb this time! XD

NPC villages now have NPCs in them, for one. And the NPCs look like this: http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011.....craft-NPC2.png

I saw one comment thinking they looked terrifying, but I kinda like them.

Also, with the 1.9 update already on its way, Itanta Chaz's backstory changes a fair bit since the NPC villages are no longer abandoned. At this point, his story's pretty much the same as GELF Chaz's, he's crashed his ship on the Minecraft planet, and with seemingly no way of getting back to space, he decides to try and make a life for himself. :3
