Never liked minecraft, really reminded me of facebook applications that socially oblige you to do repetitive pointless stuff both cant be called games

For me its just a typical application that give people the power they dont have in real life, and its the same as real life lego but with zombies...
Seriously, i am too old to play with legos xD
I didn't like it either and I'm still being told by the fanboys (yes I REALLY mean that movie bob) that "OH WELL YOU HATE MINECRAFT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO IMAGINATION!"

...to which I remind them of everything I've drawn built and programmed

which leads us to douchebag argument #2 which makes NO sense at all

"Well until you can create something BETTER then minecraft and SELLS better then you still have no imagination!"

...so wait

for making games from scratch that aren't very popular
I'm less imaginative
then the person that makes a giant dick out of bricks?

whatever...
**continues to make 3D models to import into a first person shooter he's making**

(PS: stupid recaptcha!)

Seems like a game i'd like.

Is it free, does it have a demo?
no it's not free
it's price keeps going up

there is no "demo" but there is a creative mode

unlimited bricks of verying colors and a giant open world to build in

just google search "minecraft classic" if you have any interest

Playing Minecraft just makes me want to go play Dwarf Fortress.

*high-fives*

now if only I could play dwarf fortress properly...

have any texture/graphic packs?
the '.' and ',' everywhere get annoying when I'm trying to tell one type from the other

So Yahtzee, there's this stuff in Minecraft called CHARCOAL, made by burning wood (wood can be used as fuel too!), which means you don't need to frantically search for coal in the ground to avoid being exploded on Night 1.

It took me two weeks to discover this fact, so I share it with you freely.

I think EVERYONE has tried to build a skull fortress, hence why they are epic...

Now I just need a mod for sharks with laserbeams on their heads.

Speaking of which, I was thinking about getting Minecraft after watching this review. Seeing as how I'm more of a console gamer, where would one go to get Minecraft? It looks really fun

Secondly....."All I ask is for sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads!! I mean c'mon what do I pay you people for?"

Seriously who doesn't want a shark with a laser beam?

I myself couldn't get into Minecraft, which was odd since I'm the artsy type...meh.

Good review nonetheless.

PS. I still love Gary's Mod. :)

I'm surprised the Creepers didn't get a penis comparison, but something about suicide hedge has an awesome ring to it.

After this, I bet Notch can expect a big boom in sales. Yahtzee probably just made him a boat load of money.

BZZZT...Repetition of the letter E, Nicholas?
Nope, his spelling is correct. See opening credits:
Ah, out-clevered myself there. I was, of course, referencing Just A Minute, when Graeme Garden is actually more well-known for I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue.

Well, on that note, I'll just say "Finchley Central", and under the Trumpton rules, that puts you all in spoo.

Damn! Now I'm going to have to go via Bond Street since I can't cross the bithagonal lines!

Forgive me for betraying my shocking cultural ignorance, but I've never seen I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue. I have, however, seen an awful lot of The Goodies an uncomfortably long time ago.

Quite difficult really, ISIHAC is radio only AFAIK, but if you are a Goodie afficionado, I would heartily recommend listening to it on Radio 4. Especially Mornington Crescent. Now, I have to work out whether Clapham Junction is a viable move after Bond Street. Are we using the 1918 version, or the 1819 ruleset?
