Do you have to buy minecraft? anyway every one at my school goes on about minecraft, but i dont think it is worth it for around £20, as i can buy a proper game, (the ones made by proffesionals) instead of a game made of lego and microsoft exel! I would play if it were free though.

This review was unexpected.
Also, I use to be the kind of guy that would go out and find all the materials to build things. But now I'm not. I don't hack though, I think using hacks is a cheap way to play the game. However I did figure out an exploit all on my own to give me infinite resources as long as I have at least one of the resource. It's still slightly time consuming, and I still have to go and find the initial resources. So I don't consider it cheating because I was smart enough to stumble onto something, figure out how to replicate the results and then figure out a way to exploit it even further.

You can bet I will be there to put in my two cents.Spinwhiz said:
When you are splodeybushthing*-proofing your castle, it seems only inevitable it is going to be looking sinister when you are done. I thought I had quite the good thing until I discovered spiders can climb. (I think that came about in a patch after I came on board) So now I have blocks on the walls like spikes to discourage them, along with lavafalls evenly spaced all around.Mcoffey said:
The sound of the sizzling of skeletons that would otherwise get a lucky potshot** at me is a very satisfying sound.
*:Creepers, but I like Yahtzee's name for them.
**:I don't kid, those things have killed me while trying to jump over a barricade and shooting when they have the most minimum of clearance.
I always kind of figured Yahtzee would hold off on reviewing Minecraft until it was in final release, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Actually, considering the maelstrom of media coverage Minecraft got last year I should be more surprised that it took this long for him to get around to it.
Speaking of maelstroms, best wishes to Yahtzee and the rest of Brisbane in these difficult and floody times. I hope the entertainment district fared better than the retail district, otherwise I guess the Mana Bar is going to need you to buy some more napkins again, eh Yahtzee?

To be fair I don't think charcoal is more than two weeks old. It was added in a pretty recent update. It does make the first night a whole lot easier though.bfwissil said:
If you speak of the likes of Cobblestone Generators and Monster Traps, then that isn't exploiting. That's using Minecraft with initiative!Frozengale said:
I am quite glad myself that Yahtzee came out of that okay. Judging from the pictures, it looked like the ocean tried to reach in and take that entire part of the continent away.RebellionXXI said:
Well, it is the Last Wednesday in January, right? There's your answer right there. Unless you can make a case that the Troubadour Bypass should be in effect, the 1819 ruleset must be enforced.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I don't know what a Cobblestone Generator is and no I don't use Monster Traps. It's an exploit that I figured out once Beta came out. I think it's because Notch changed how saving works in the game. I won't say how it works, but you can basically duplicate anything if you know how. Like I now I have over 200 blocks of TNT even though I've only ever crafted 3 things of TNT.samsonguy920 said:
Yeah, and notch would inevitably have had to implement charcoal if he hadn't already planned on it anyway. Either that or start the player off with a torch (or lantern when they get implemented). The "new feature" option's way better than the "starting equipment" route.castlewise said:
wow, it seems like Yahtzee quite liked minecraft
this truly is an awesome game
also, I liked the way the creepers in this strongly resemble Penises
-_- fucking creepers...

wonderful game for anyone with a good inner child, so far the only feature that I find lacking is the lack of anyway to move the spawn/respawn point after the world is generated, becomes damn troublesome if you die and you built your home 3 billion miles from where you spawned.
Fisherprice Shoggoths? That's what I'm calling the spiders now.
Speaking of Creepers, one time my friend and I had built this epic island fortress, with a moat and all sorts of good fun.
Then a Creeper walks up, kills us both and blows a hole in our house, flooding it as well as blowing half of it up.
Well, unless they learn how to fly, they'll never get into my floating stone spider fortress of awesomeness, which should have fire on top now that I think of it... (starts up minecraft)
Great review. Very funny.
