Minecraft - An Incredible Indie Game
f0dder:
Purchased the game a couple of weeks ago, because frankly it's worth it. Great fun. I sometimes feel a bit like the dwarves that made the Moria mine... I dug too deep!
As far as i know, there is even someone who build the 1701-D (Star Trek fanatics know what I am talking about) in it...on true scale! :Thmbsup:-Shades (October 05, 2010, 04:25 PM)

Didn't actually build it, but exported a pre-made schematic to minecraft level format... it would've been insane to hand-build that ship :)
Plus then you can maximize it for near full-screen gameplay. :)

Ooooooh, didn't know that! :D
As for machine specs, yeah, it is a bit on the heavy end. On my (lower-end) dualcore laptop with intel graphics, I have to set lighting model to simple and turn down visibility some notches. It's a very different engine than what all other 3D games use, so it's not fair to compare; HL2 and the likes might be a lot prettier, but their levels are 99% static, whereas minecraft is 100% dynamic. There's a lot of data being pushed around.

The Halloween update is live! And it sure is scary (in the Nether).
Protip: Never, ever, EVER attack the zombie pig-men in the Nether.

How do you get to the Nether? By "digging too deep"? Also, I thought torches were going to burn out, but, so far, the torches I placed before the update don't?

Torches being burned out didn't make it into the update.
You have to build a portal to the Nether. Basically you need to create a 4x5 "doorway" with Obsidian (but you can leave the outer corners off) and then use flint & steel iron to start it on fire.

The blue text is supposed to be pointing at "Scare other players online!" rather than "carve pumpkins."

Unless you like assisted suicide ... or tricking friends into doing it and watching them freak out and panic as they try every method available to survive... only to fail :P
