I will admit at first i hated it, but now i fucking love it!

Basically you mine all through the day then at night you need to find some shelter (which you make) from all the spiders e.t.c.

for £8 you cant grumble, and its got multiplayer aswell.

Anyone else got this?

Looks interesting lol

There was a post on the TF2 bolg about this a while ago, everyone said it was really addictive so i decided against it

by **Echelon** » 11 Sep 2010, 11:52

Looks crap.

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 11 Sep 2010, 13:24

Bought it yesterday, and setup a multiplayer server for my friends. It's awesome!

There's a load of vids up on http://www.youtube.com/user/davidr64yt to show off more of it, the site itself doesn't really do it justice.

by **GTFO. KARR** » 11 Sep 2010, 15:40

It all sounded good until i got to ..... spiders.

The value of the game isn't in it's looks.

set up a serv:

(default port)

by **Echelon** » 12 Sep 2010, 15:39

I must be missing something here. After looking at the vids out there, i still don't understand what's fun with this game.

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 12 Sep 2010, 15:59

Did you ever play with LEGO?

Take a look at http://minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page it helps explain some of the more complicated stuff

I've been fooling around with that free version for quite some time. made myself a nice castle

Is the payment method paypall ? If so dagit nagit nabit dagit

by **GTFO. Gash** » 12 Sep 2010, 22:35

what u confused about felvol?
redstone is used to trigger switches etc...

mine carts can be used to transport u + items, so to help you mine more stuff or make a roller coaster/transport u etc...

by **GTFO. Gash** » 13 Sep 2010, 00:44

absolutely loving the game at present, having fun in SP currently, although shame MP isn't up to speed yet, but soon will be hopefully...

made a farm yesterday so i have constant wheat being grown, also have been diggin like crazy to find ores... only findin iron n coal...

Yeh it is PayPal, although who knows maybe he'll introduce alternate payment methods due to this - http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/09 ... 00k-euros/

Thrilled to hear other people are enjoying this game aswell

by **Pulse** » 13 Sep 2010, 10:18

I've heard a lot of good things about this game too, but I haven't gotten into it yet. don't think I will, simply because I don't have the time for another time-nommin' game (neglecting TF2 already).

but SeaNanners from youtube/Machinima has some cool vids about the game. certainly made me want to try it out.

you can find the rest for yourselves if you care to watch 'em

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 15 Sep 2010, 22:00

by **Dvveh** » 16 Sep 2010, 13:22

I'd suggest watching a guy named X's minecraft videos.

They are what got myself REALLY interested in the game, and so far he is up to 44 i think

http://www.youtube.com/user/davidr64yt# ... bh4EexJO4I is the link to the first one.

by **Hito** » 16 Sep 2010, 16:56

yeah X's video's kicks kreeper ass

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 18 Sep 2010, 23:27

Currently free to play until Notch fixes the server - http://kotaku.com/5641764/minecraft-is- ... gets-fixed

Is there a wiki about all tolls etc you can make, and what you can build/collect?

by **Orv** » 21 Sep 2010, 15:52

Yes, here.

by **Echelon** » 24 Sep 2010, 13:53

You guys still play this? I've started playing it, and now i understand how fun this game actually is.

I built a house, and inside i dug a hole, and now finally i actually reached the bottom of the world. There are blocks there that you cant destroy, but one of the "floor" blocks i managed to destroy, and i could see something blue down there, probably the sky (covering the map from all sides i guess).

by **GTFO. Gash** » 24 Sep 2010, 15:47

ye we still play... intermittently... once MP is up and running properly it will be good fun, as atm u cant die or get hurt in it, so it takes away some of the fun..

by **Hito** » 24 Sep 2010, 18:19

Echelon you have reached the void !!! Jump down and you'll die.

by **PpJt** » 24 Sep 2010, 19:50

I played this for 5 minutes earlier. Well I thought it was 5 minutes, turns out it was 30. :shock:

by **GTFO. KARR** » 25 Sep 2010, 04:51

I miss my Lego™.

by **GTFO. KARR** » 26 Sep 2010, 00:15

OH MY FREAKING GOD I CANT STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!!!!!!

Pretty addictive, aint it ? :p

by **GTFO. KARR** » 26 Sep 2010, 21:58

...... but i dont understand why!! :lol:

by **Felvol** » 26 Sep 2010, 22:43

I know I like play a world until ive like discovered redstone-diamond stuff and all that and then after half an hour of "end-game" exploring with stuff, I just delete and start again. Ive wasted a good 30 hours of my life playing this game :/

by **GTFO. Gash** » 27 Sep 2010, 00:00

y stop after findin diamond though?

by **Echelon** » 27 Sep 2010, 09:28

I haven't found diamond yet, only redstone and gold. Have you guys tried to reach the bottom of the world? I also built a tower so high that i reached the top, it was just impossible to build any higher.

by **GTFO. Loser** » 27 Sep 2010, 09:40

I dont know if I should pick this up or not. Is it really that good?

by **GTFO. KARR** » 27 Sep 2010, 16:44

It is very addictive.

You get to make your own house (although i cant find enough bricks so i chose glass!)
Even with its own welcoming sign...

: Home Sweet Home!

And i have this chicken that even though ALL my doors are closed keeps on getting in somehow. Don't know why but i feel like its poking its tongue out at me......

: Get out of my house, Chicken!

EDIT: Posted that, went back indoors and.....

Oh bloody hell, where are all the damn chickens coming from!!!!

: Where are they all coming from!!!
