Dont play this game, it's way too addicting. It's a total sandbox game with randomly generated worlds, made entirely out of cubes. The possibilities are endless. You can explore the overworld, try to survive the night on your own, build just about anything, and dig into the earth, mine for minerals, and explore caves. I just burned 6 hours without even thinking about it.

I have purchased this now, but I will not play it yet (that way I could get the cheaper price). I have too much work to do. I played the free version a while back, and that was pretty cool. This new one sounds a lot deeper though. I'll play it... in a month maybe.

Haha cool. Unfortunately, I do not have interest in these games till multiplayer is fully implemented. Same reason I never even finished Fallout 3. Who cares if I build myself a castle and call it home if I can't invite someone to see what I've done? I might as well go paint stuff for myself then, but no, that's not why I make art. I do it for other people too!

No Earl, screenshots aren't good enough. Even videos aren't good enough. I am not going to take a screenshot of a hat in TF2. I want to wear it and parade around in it and everyone can see me in glorious 3D. Not in a screenshot.

You don't just send someone a photo of your house. You have a house warming party so you can let everyone into your world.

I believe you are wrong on this case Gel, if you invited people over to your house in Minecraft and lets say you wanted to start a fire in your fireplace, something like this could happen:


And that would not be a good housewarming party, also if you invited people over in Minecraft, they might mine your entire house leaving you with nothing. In my opinion Minecraft is a single player exploring game first and foremost where you share your experiences in blogs/forums/screenshots/video

How many logic gates did that take, Earl? When armageddon happens, will you be ready to rebuild society?

Also, I wouldn't invite AL FIRE to my house. Real friends don't light friends' houses on fire. Also, Why would I build my entire house out of wood without lining it in some sort of stone or mineral first? He deserved to have his wooden glass house burnt down. My house would be made entirely of furnaces that can't burn down and take 200 hits to destroy.

0 logic gates. It's just lava encased in glass.

Although I just realized it would be awesome if you could flip in on and off somehow from the main island....

A couple updates on my game and on the Minecraft world!

My amazing pyramid update and within the next few days I've give an approximate on how many dirt blocks will be required for completion:
9/19/2010
Image
Image

9/21/2010 (I would like to make a note that the dirt is usually 3-5 levels deep so it is a lot of dirt being moved)
Image
Image

And now for the Minecraft world update:
Penny-Arcade Minecraft comic part 2:
Image

And Rock Paper Shotgun's day 5 of Minecraft

But who can stand to listen to Seananners? It's almost as bad as listening to Al Fire speak.

It has been determined that that guy figured out how to import a model. Theres a 3D model of the skeleton of the Enterprise that someone found online that exactly matches what you see in that video.

It's still cool though. There's going to be lots of work in filling in all the decks.

A lot of Minecraft news for this update, but first I'll show the progress on my pyramid:
October 1st, 2010
Image
Image

Then on October 11th its progressed to this:
Image
Image
Image

Then a few other random pictures
This one is the way I was building the second quarter of my pyramid, but found out 50 monsters decide to spawn right on it at night so I abandoned that way of building
Image

Then the final two are of a guest at my front door and something pure evil:
Image
Image

And now for the news:
http://www.minecraft.net/boo/
http://kotaku.com/5660666/take-a-look-at-minecrafts-inferno

And finally some sweet art and a video of a guy who made a 16-bit computer....inside minecraft!

Well I finally figured out how to set up a minecraft server and get it running correctly. If any one wants to play on it, just hit me up with a steam friends message and I'll give you the current ip address its located at.
