Minecraft... the horror, the horror

[lacktheknack]

when will you people learn.. build hole into side of mountain - you win minecraft.

You also get bored.

You also cease to win when this happens:

Oh that is NOTHING. Notch will add a zombie siege mode where there is a chance of a zombie invasion during the night which makes the moon turn blood red. Think "no prob"? Well i didn't tell you zombies can BREAK THROUGH WALLS AND DOORS AND INFILTRATE YOUR BASE UNTIL MORNING. You have to survive that hell night if it gets implemented.

The correct answer, of course, is to offer them cake...

16:35 is where the hilarity begins.

what are those birch looking trees?

Probably birches, if that LP was made after 1.2.

It was made two days ago, so yes. They are birches.

Every second spent in the natural caverns under my building was a nightmare. Its like those caves were bloody possessed!

I... I have heard rumors... That Notch may do an update... That makes caverns change. The "Earthquake" Factor, that at random points, the whole earth shakes and random bits in the cave that are as weak as crumbled rock or weaker are destroyed, where they land they build themselves up, theoretically making new tunnels.

Oh good that should have EVEN MORE people becoming lost for hours at a time. Thankfully I have an excellent sense of direction so thats not a problem. The problem is that the caves under my building seem to spawn about 3 times more monsters than any other cave I have ever seen. Like, there were so many creepers it was like a river of them, I had to hack my way through. Every block of ground covered in light was a victory.

And then even worse was the mindfuckery, I swear I saw movement down an unlit passage, my friend next to me confirmed it, but when I lit the room it was empty....

And now the caves are full of torches, yet it remains untamed. Even in full light the caves spawn enemies. It spawns creepers behind me all the time. I seldom go down there anymore, because I know I probably wont come back out alive. There is something wrong with that place, gives me the creeps.

To Daniel's credit, if YOU had tasked yourself to kill someone, would you automatically man up enough to put your hands anywhere NEAR this thing?!

*snip*

I wouldn't.

That's the thing... you've met two shadows in the beginning (from the point I've reached), he doesn't even know they look like that. And seriously, at the level of insaness he has when hiding, I'd be throwng the shelves itself if I met something like that. And at that degree of fear, if you weren't to kill those and fear the darkness... you'd have broken throught a window and ran already. I'm not saying the game isn't good, I like the originality and the challenge not to fight enemies, it's just that Daniel pass all the time at the edge of going brain dead at every step makes it hard on my lamp oil.

my pet creeper (his name was Creepy, R.I.P)

what do you mean, "pet Creeper"?

a creeper that I kept in a hole as a pet. zombies and skeletons burn, spiders make annoying noises, I'll just end up eating the pig or killing the cow and I'm deeply suspicious of sheep.

I see, I have to ask this but did you make a youtube video with your Pet Creeper?

I found one while scanning youtube and this guy had a Creeper in a hole named Creepy as well. Just wondering, I found it too similar to not ask

That wasn't me but "Creepy the creeper" is a very unimaginative name.

important note, spiders cannot climb sand or sandstone.

They can now.

Apparently Notch made an adjustment. Sandstone walls are now no defence against our new spider overlords.

As many Minecrafters will tell you, this is a surprisingly scary game. The sheer randomness of the world means you have literally no idea of what might be around the next corner, and if you have ever found yourself deep underground with no clear exit and a dwindling supply of torches you'll know just how scary that can be.

Well, it just got a little, or a lot, scarier. As of the latest update spiders can climb up walls.

Yeah, those castle walls you've built? Not so safe now, are they?

For discussion: what's been your scariest moment in Minecraft? I'd say mine would be one of my first nights above ground, when I'd built a little cabin on a hill but made the mistake of not having any torches. The horde of monsters that ammassed around outside the cabin that night, and the noise of them all was quite nerve wracking.

I'm beginning to feel more and more like the only person that isn't scared by this game

...and everyone I know who's scared of it is a complete pansy and acts like a douche whenever I mention it

in short- I don't understand how this is scary, stop trying to convince me it is
and go play amnesia and make sure you don't crap yourself (because if minecraft scares you... dang that's sad)

minecraft is by no means scary for everyone. the fear it invokes is a primal fear of the unknown, with, of course, the occasional creeper jump scare. so if you think that it's sad that we are scared by minecraft, dang, that's sad.

 

[adasdad]

anyway, scariest moment for me is finding a tunnel that branches off in a whole bunch of directions. whereever you go, mobs could sneak up on you.

 

[worldruler8]

why did you necro this...WHY?

 

[jpoon]

Spiders and creepers always freak me the hell out, especially when they drop on top of you suddenly. Creepy game!

Scarred and startled are two different things.
Example; Fallout 3, the ghouls just aren't scarry (to me), having a landmine blow up right next to me startles me.

I'd say the same thing about Minecraft, but there's nothing startling about a creeper unless you honestly don't hear the "sssssssssssssssssss" before the loud, inevitable, unexpected*, "BOOM!"

I find the ssssss scary since you know the boom is coming. Especially when you can't see the creeper so all you can do is shit you pants and run and hope you're running away from the creeper. Sure it's startling to instantly die or get hurt, but when you know it's coming and you can't stop it is way more scary for me.

they've actually had that for a while now...that's you make roofs for a house and make a moatof lava.

I'd have to say the scariest thing isn't really scaring it's just little things that add up and slowly degrade your courage and sanity. such as odd formations in the middle of nowhere, seemingly impossible events that could not have been caused by random chance, the ambient music of caves/dungeons and the banging of the undead as they pound at your door at night(yes, that's been included in the update).
