Minecraft

This is probably the best $13 I've spent on gaming since I scored a used copy of ME1 for $13 a few years ago.

After Penny Arcade ran a few strips on it, I checked out some youtube vids, and decided I had to buy it.

Now I just need to be careful, because I spend like 5 hours hunting zombies, expanding my underground/aboveground housing/cave network, and exploring the gigantic world each time I play. Thus, I need to make sure I have all my homework done first

If anyone digs it (and knows more about this sort of thing than I do) we should totally set up an MG.org multiplayer server.

Works on PC, Mac, some Linux, and even runs in a browser window if you want!

Here's how to play:

More vids on his channel.

EDIT: Buzz has set up a server. Here's what he says:

Alright, I now have a server set up.

Some things to note before logging in:

1. In my local test, it took me a couple of tries to log-in. If it says it took too long to log in, try again. Let me know if you're having problems and I'll see if I can do anything to fix it.

2. You are unable to mine/place blocks immediately where you spawn. I assume this is a feature to protect people just popping into the game. Just walk a little bit in any direction and you should be able to place and destroy blocks.

3. Hit T to chat, if you haven't already discovered that bit

4. I didn't see any monsters in the brief time I tested it. I dunno if it was because I was close to the beginning area or if it was stuck in Peaceful mode. I'll have to look into that.


Anyways, the IP address for the server is:

Oh, and this should go without saying, nor do I expect any problems from you guys since you're all awesome, but don't be a dick.

I've been playing this for a while now because of Reddit. This game is crack. LEGOs for adults, but better.

I am trying not to drop out of college, so playing this game is risky. That's how good it is.

i played it for about 10 minutes and dug a few tunnels, then discovered you can shave a sheep, lol

Would be cool if the blocks were allowed to be smaller i think

Damn, this looks addictive as hell. I'm fighting the urge to go buy it.

Can we do this?

So, I did what any scientist worth his salt would do; I dug a hole to the center of the earth. I found magma

Dear lord.

Granted, I can sympathize on some level. I spent three hours yesterday adding a massive observation tower onto the cliff above my house, and two of those hours were spent trying to (unsuccessfully) get both ends of the access tunnel to meet
