So! Minecraft! Who here plays it?
I highly doubt that many people here don't know what Minecraft is, but:
Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens.
Website: www.minecraft.net
It's a game which uses Java (in other words, it's multi-platform and will work on most any OS you use. Including some phones in the near future) and is very...blocky... The stuff you can do in it is only limited by your imagination though. Youtube it and you can see what some people have gotten up to, ranging from a 1:1 scale USS Enterprise (from Star Trek) to a fully functioning computer built entirely in the game. It's lots of fun and rather addictive if you're into that kind of thing.
The game is still technically in beta, but you can prepurchase now to use it in multiplayer. Alternatively, you can play the solo version for free, but the solo version really isn't the same thing (Mining/crafting isn't involved and there are no monsters. You're given an infinite amount of most of the blocks to play with and build stuff but the adventure is removed from the game).
Anyway, I think it'd be cool if there are several people here who play to maybe start our own server! We could get a teamspeak or something going on it too so we can all talk while we play. Just an idea.
