Minecraft MineCraft MINECRAFT!!!!!
« on: September 20, 2010, 11:01:51 am »
Minecraft!!!!

I had succesfully avoided MMO's and Dwarf Fortress - but I accidentally touched Minecrack!!!!

I now have five basic desires:

Sex, Food, Drink, Drugs, and Minecraft!!!!!!!

MINEcraft MiNECRafT MINECRAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try out the currently free trial at:

http://www.minecraft.net/

Trust me - you will thank/curse me later!!!

Seriously - this is one cool developer!

Basically he is dedicating his life to this game - so once you buy it for like $9 Bux you have a LIFETIME subscription to all updates / new game modes/ multiplayer / etc...

Once he has enough money to live off the interest  (including running the authentcator servers) he will spend the rest of his days solely perfecting this already addicting game!

Penny-arcade has a great comic on it - so funny, so true:

They say the most common thing a new player says is - F*CK!! - it's 5a.m.!?!?? - Shhh***t!!!!

(this happened to me too)

Anyways free trial because his servers are overloaded with purchases right now - well deservedly.

Also note - the sound purposely doesn't work on the free one presently - (although you can get a fix for that) - and I still love this game!!!

Check out the numerous creations showcased on you tube like "The Slide" or "Tree Fortress" - this game is AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!!

(and no I don't have any interest in this except supporting an awesome game and an awesome developer philosophy)

Enjjjjjjjjjjjoooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Can't believe no one ever got into Minecraft around here...  Best first person dwarf simulator EVAR!!!!

It's in Beta now - and still ton's o' fun - it'd be cool to start a Dynaverse server of it for multi - people are even making full Enterprise starships in game!

I've played. I find it highly addicted. Built myself a massive castle and train station :)

I just read in last months CPU Magazine that someone created a working 16 bit computer inside the game itself.  I'm not sure how he managed it but thought it was pretty cool trick.

Yeah, I saw a video about that one: pretty intense.
