So, who else is addicted to MineCraft?

[Pieman]

I can run Java on my computer,  and it doesn't look like MineCraft requires a super graphics card or anything. 

[nightSky]

Yep runs perfectly on my Macs.

[Pieman]

So I checked out their website and everything, but I still don't know what all you can do?  Is it like a city builder?

I love the game, have had tons of fun on it, logged way to many hours to be healthy.

[Pieman]

I also see you can try the game before you buy, which is what I think I'm going to do for the rest of the night...

If I remember right, the free trial is essentially just the world-generator with none of the crafting or anything. I'm not sure if it's still like that, that's just what I remember hearing. You should look up some videos on youtube about it, they should give you some good ideas what it's all about.

[Pieman]

You must be looking over my shoulder because I have been on Youtube.  I might pick this up later tomorrow.

[Radkov]

I can't recommend it enough. This is one of the best games I've played in years, and I was just promoted to a moderator on the server I frequent so if anyone ever needs a place to go, I can be your friend in a high place.

To anybody who is going to buy it: I have two pre-beta serial numbers that I bought right before the beta release. If you want to buy one for a good price, let me know. I bought them with the intention of giving them to specific friends as Christmas presents. Unfortunately for me, these two friends both bought accounts while away on Christmas vacation!

These are superior to buying the beta codes in this way: Lifetime free updates even after the full game is released! Current accounts get the free updates, but only until the game's retail version is complete.

Steevo, enough with the minecraft and more working on the SB.

[SteevoLS]

For the record, I've only played an hour or two since Tuesday last week.

Now Tuesday on the other hand...

Bla Bla Bla.  Shoutbox!

Well I watched some videos and figured since you guys talked so highly about it, and its was only 20 bucks, I bought it.  I don't think i'll be getting any sleep soon. lol.  I need to wall off my mine/house so none of the bad things come in during the night.

dig hole 3 deep, cover top with dirt, pray for daylight, or wait to hear burning zombie

Lol, i've turned my little hidey hole into a large mine.  I found a ton of coal and some iron inside, and I have constructed a wall outside of the mine 3 high.
