Etymology

A chronograph is a watch and a stopwatch combined. So all chronographs are watches but not all watches are chronographs.

Notes

Nice underground stuff here, but the topside really has some amazing things you will probably want to see firsthand. I also found a really cool rock formation that I shall henceforth refer to as "The Sewing Machine" -- a combo medium land bridge and medium overhang.

Version: XBL 1.4 (TU9) (no PC equiv)

Etymology

WOW is an on-line video game -- called World of Warcraft -- that has undergone several iterations, revisions, and upgrades over the course of the near decade that it's been live. The original version of the game -- with no downloaded content -- is referred to by die-hard fans as "Vanilla WOW".

Notes

This seed is all about the villages. The first two villages were so close together that I was able to fit them in the same shot. You could easily connect them to form a little town. The dead drop cave was really a lot of fun.

Can't Miss

I'm pretty sure that the biggest single longest cave I've ever come across can be found at -197.45.148 and may be partially constructed from bits of the ravine that carves it's way through the northern wall. It's not terribly exciting, but it's a beast to plop down torches because there are a lot of bad guys hiding inside.
