Anyone here play this? http://www.minecraft.net/

Seems there no way to play it free, except for some "cracked" versions of the software and servers, probably full of nasty malware. So you have to fork out 15 Euro for the game.
I'd like to try it out, but it's got a certain FarmVille feel to it, so I don't want to play alone. I'd like to do it with people who are willing to Skype voice chat while we play.

I know a few people that play it religiously but I don't see the attraction. There's no plot, it's just seems to be a blocky, 3D pissing contest to see who can build the biggest object/structure/hole. Great way to waste time and doing a bit of socialising but as far as 'games' go it's looks about as entertaining as drawing phallic objects in MS Paint.

Building sandcastles?

I would enjoy a Wii bodybuilding contest entitled Mein Kraft!

I didn't see the appeal either, until I saw the YogsCast about it.

It's worth watching, the guys are pretty funny.

I can't see the point of playing this alone, ever, but in a 'social setting' with people chatting and taking the piss, it might be fun.

A bit like sharing information about bowel movements. Anyone for a quick round of Mein Dump?

15 Euro is real money.

Do you mean what does it convert over into U.S. funds? 😉

Ha! I take it back. I'd only ever seen people playing it on their own, but the multi-player does look like a bit of fun.

I love how they scream like girls when they spot a creeper. That playlist totally changed my mind about the game...

I'm surprised how scared I get when I hear zombies etc. when I go spelunking, and how pissed I get when a creeper drops next to me and blows me to smithereens...


Anyone else interested in playing with Daemon Sin and I, just PM me for details for our Private Network.

Spelunking and private networks? You're making this sound sordid and dirty! 😲

For some reason, I felt compelled to watch 15 odd episodes of that Yogcast, and while I'd love to give it a go, I don't feel I have the time.

Hmmm. I can't get past the first level.
