i've been playing... kinda fun but not worth the time until he can make non griefing multiplayer servers. Why spend so much time building such elaborate shit for nobody but yourself to see? I guess thats why there are so many youtube vids of peoples constructions.

Great idea... but he needs to improve it for online play.
Perhaps he will be doing that with the $250,000 a day he is making in sales.

Minecraft is almost more of a creative outlet than a game. Akin to building a model or playing with Legos, et cetera. It is fun to show my brother the luxurious cave dwelling I built into the mountain, but I'm driven more by my own satisfaction with a completed project.

That being said, I actually like the action. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The bow is pretty accurate and mob-juking with the sword to avoid them exploding/owning you is pretty fun.

If you dig deep into the world, you find some pretty spooky places, too. Go deep enough and you can hear the mobs nearby and rarely can pinpoint exactly where from, which creates decent suspense. Occasionally taking an arrow to the face as you break into a cavern is pretty startling and fun, as well. I enjoy the groove you can get into clearing an area and setting up a camp/way point.

Last weekend I accidentally created a fissure near some lava and it spilled over the entire lava lake. I came back 15 minutes later and it had cooled into obsidian blocks! I had to carefully route the lava under the obsidian into another area and then plundered!

In fact, think I'm going to go play right now.

I hear he's hiring staff. I think it's cool he's made so much money.

I spent about 8 hours hollowing out an entire mountain into a labyrinthine tower of stone rooms. It was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I even made a glass balcony and a 10block by 10block picture window about 2/3 of the way up. Incredible views. :P Then I dug out a spiral staircase to a huge room and found lava. I died in it.

I really enjoyed it for the creative outlet it is, but won't even consider playing multiplayer until I can protect my castle from being torched and or destroyed by some asshat griefer.

Super cool concept though!

Yup, been playing it for a couple weeks now. Mad fun, messing around on the FoH MP server for now... I can't wait until MP survival mode is fully updated.

Nice. I tried so hard to play Dwarf Fortress but just couldn't get my head around the inability to 'see' anything. With the new graphic version maybe I'll give it another try.

Searching for dungeons is pretty fun, would be even better to do it with others, especially if the mobs were a little more difficult. This game has a lot of potential, there is so much that could be done with it.

Is it wrong that this video made me laugh my ass off?
