You should play Amnesia...
I got it on Steam about October last year I think.

So far I have played exactly 20 minutes of it, I should really just man up and play it sometime.
I only recently got it myself, only had a chance to play about two hours of it. I can't play more than 40 minutes to an hour at a time, but really I just haven't had the time, what with Uni resuming and all that. Still, it is masterful how well the atmosphere is conjured.

The bed will become the number 1 most used item...

Anways, I really hope this monster can't debuild stone blocks, as I would be pretty pissed if they were to debuild my castle...

Slenderman never has and never will scare me, so on that level, Enderman won't scare me.

If anything it'll just startle me when I'm not expecting it.

I think it'll be a great addition to the game as well. :D

I think I'll be startled by Enderman's teleporting a few times, but nothing too serious. A recent blog post stated that the whole "locking eyes" mechanic will only occur if you settle your crosshair on it. Besides, it will probably be killable, so as long as I have a weapon and armor handy it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I've never been that freaked out by Slenderman anyway. Slengineer is more frightening:

Honestly... that seems a bit unfair. And the fact it can hold blocks makes me worry it'll be able to just deconstruct your buildings for the hell of it, otherwise holding blocks would seem pointless. I just hope he adds the option to turn off individual mobs with the update. Plus, having this would make having windows in your house or building not worth it due to danger. So basically... bleh.
Apparently it can only move Tier 1 blocks. IE: Sand, dirt, and MAYBE wood. Although I really hope not. I like my wooden house.

But I too worry about my windows. I LIKE having lots of windows! :(

Hell yeah.

I'm a bit worried about them messing up my projects. I have some things built out of sand and what not, and them moving a single block could be disastrous.

If they're gonna mess with my stuff, then I think it's time that...

No, bad idea IMO.
Stop adding shit stuff, Notch, and starting adding all the majorly cool shit in mods like the Aether and Better Than Wolves.

"herp derp blar blar ignorance etc." If you want that content install the mods and quit insulting his company's original, quality work.

OT: It looks like a very nice addition that'll really bring a new sense of tenseness to the game - even more so than your standard 'the creeper is probably right behind you' sorta deal.

The fact that it can move blocks I find rather interesting.. It makes me think since this is implemented (for mobs to move blocks) one would imagine NPCs doing the same, maybe increasing the size of their houses after you help them out by bringing them materials or something, who knows. ^^

Hell, you know what would be really creepy? If you saw one, then turned and ran, and it teleports in front of you. Scare the living shit out of you, that would.
Read the blog post... they already do. To "help orient the player", apparently.

"GODDAMMIT, NOTCH! STOP PLAGERIZING!"

"GODDAMMIT, NOTCH! START ADDING THE GOOD STUFF WE SEE IN MODS!"

Here's a novel concept... you could download the mods you want YOURSELF, and Notch can continue adding whatever he wants. As is, the only way Notch can please the fanbase is to ban modding capabilities altogether until he's done development. Not a good idea? Well, it would certainly kill the double standard everyone holds him to.

What I meant was that he'd already copied mods with Pistons, I thought since the ideas were so good and since all the programmed code is, I assume, already there for him to get hold of, he could easily implement the mods officially, and trust me, he will copy mods again. Not that I'm complaining, I was just saying it'd be nice if he made them official, get them the recognition they deserve.

And I'll insult it if I want to, thanks.
'Original'? Seriously?
The name itself referenceres the creepy internet meme of which it was copied... Slender man.
It's characteristics fit it as well.
I just don't see it as much of a game changer, more of an irritating annoyance.
When there is so much stuff in mods that can add layers of new, varied content, it annoys me that instead we are given a mob that can pick up blocks and teleport.
That sounds not challenging, but annoying. You'll notice it taking down your base, then fight it, during which it'll teleport towards you very quickly.
Wow. How fun. Something new to piss me off.

Excuse me for wanting new things to construct with as opposed to yet another enemy to irritate my building.

I never said that. I could care less if he copies things, as long as they are good and fun, not irritating.

Yes please.

What? No way does everyone hold him to a double standard, and how would that please the fanbase? It would just piss them off. As I said in answer to the other guy to reply to me, I'd just like to see them made official, seeming as they are so good.

You can stop projecting now. You don't really know how the Enderman will be implemented, but I can guarantee you that it won't be all that annoying (Notch does balance these things). It CERTAINLY won't actively dismantle your base. The AI behind that would be murderous.

Also, if you bothered to check minecraftwiki, you'd see that he's giving you new objects and concepts that don't involve combat, AS WELL as improving combat, AS WELL as adding Endermen. Would you like a link?

Sadly, you seem to have missed that the fanbase consists of two main factions: the "Notch is a dirty rotten plagerizer who should leave the mods alone" faction, and "Notch is being a douche and ignoring all the great ideas being handed to him" faction. Both are equally loud. There was a minor uproar following pistons, there was a minor uproar following wolves, there's going to be a minor uproar following Endermen. Notch can't win.

Thanks for the link, I had no ideawhat other stuff was being added, I just sort of jumped to conclusions after seeing that there'd be a mob that can move blocks.
I damn well hope it won't dismantle anything, though.

That other stuff, like farms and blocks and NPC villages, look pretty damn awesome though.

How can you be scared off something that looks like a square and 4 pieces of spaghetti? "Real" Slenderman, fair nuff. But this? Looks like shit ;( Notch should really move it out of java and get this dude to make the models http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDoaSO9nxUQ
I am no longer sleeping tonight. Not sure if minecraft would work as well if everything wasn't blocky though.
