My friend told me about this game called Minecraft and he said it's very fun and I should try it out. So, I did try it out and, dang, it's so addicting! I've been playing the full version for about a week now. (I downloaded it when the servers were down for a while and I can still play the singleplayer, wee!) It's basically a game where you start in a random world, and you have to collect resources to get started. Example; You collect some wood, you make some refined wood, you make a workbench out of the refined wood, you make a wooden axe that can be used to chop wood faster.
Now, if you have tried it, what do you think about it?
I myself find it very fun, addicting and relaxing at the same time.
You can either mine through caverns in hope of finding some diamond or you can just craft some nice decorations for your house/castle/shelter!
Also, if you'd like to know more about it you can check this guy's Minecraft videos, they're pretty addicting:

PS. I didn't find an existing thread about Minecraft, but I think there was some discussion in the What are you playing right now? -thread. Excuse me if I broke a rule. D:
I dunno, people have just told me it gets really boring and repetitive. A few people have even called it "gay", but if they're using that as an insulting term, they're probably just not very intelligent, and would rather play Halo and CoD. :P
I must say it does get repetitive in a way, but all the different caverns and areas you discover and mine/build houses on, it does NOT get boring for a good while.
But hey, you can be intelligent and play Halo or Call of Duty!
(I was going to write a huge wall of text how MW2 is bad, but I think that text serves a place on another thread. Maybe.)
Minecraft constantly saves the game when you press escape and through out other points of time. The side effect is that you can't revert back if you mess up.
My favourite bit is where I go outside because it's daytime and some non-flammable monster kills me, so I respawn, then the game crashes so that, when a start it up again, it's saved my position but none of the changes I've made, so I've lost everything and am shut out of my stronghold and also somehow it's night.
My favourite solution to this is to stand there at the respawn point until morning while things kill me repeatedly.
One problem occurs to me more than it should; when you put the sound to let's say... 50% and the music to 0%, it changes them automatically back to 100% and 100% after a while. This happens to me pretty much all the time. Meh.
Those videos made by X are great, they convinced me to try this. Just to make it clear: you can access the crafting-mining-full-version if you buy the game, right? Otherwise you can only access the infinite-building-without-crafting mode?

Yes.
Well, the unpaid-for version isn't infinite. From what I've heard, the full version is damn near infinite, being larger than Earth.
I like to idea how every single time you start a new game the map is always different. But that's over-shadowed my the fact that my heads pounding and my eyes hurt because of the block graphics. It hurts after a while.
anyway it is a good game nevertheless. I like the block building.
Yeah I was on Super Mario Bros this morning
