Sounds like youve had a good time. My nephews eyes would probably pop out of his head if the saw the subway you built. He watches videos of people playing Minecraft. Its madness, madness I say! D:

Personally, I just cant get over the 8 bit graphics thing. Oh well.

I play with 64 bit graphics and there are plenty of skin kits out there that are 128 bit and some 256 bit.

I have some screenies somewhere of my place during the build process, almost finished. I think the boat's not finished, I think the public square isn't started, but for the most part it's done. I'll see if I can find them.

Damn you guys! I think I had tried the original one time, but after reading this thread I just paid for the new version :mad:

What texture pack are you using Nik?

I've tried a few like the painterly pack but they're so different I don't get used to them and use the original.

You can do anything you want in the game, except make it look good. I love old games, but for a new game to basically look like the original Wolf3d is kind of suspect.

It's $13 and more fun than probably 75% of games released these days.

It looks infinitely better than wolf3d. :rolleyes:

AND it's still in beta.

AND it has an incredibly huge player mod base including 256bit skins.

Ignorant comment is ignorant.

Fire will light wood on fire 4 squares away vertically and horizontally, but not diagonally.

If he'd dug his log pit just one more square deeper and THEN lit it, he'd have been fine.

Part of the first house I ever built involved a great big awesome fireplace with a hidden passage to a chest where I kept my diamonds hidden :D

I very much doubt someone actually built that by hand like I built mine.

This is all I really play anymore. All these other games just don't do it for me. Pretty graphics but if they game is not fun then why bother. From looking on the outside minecraft seems pretty bland but one you get into it you will see it has depth to it. Sometimes it does get boring but I keep going back for more. Therese always a cave to explore or something to build. I use Misa's pack too its the best.

my son plays it all the time. I even pay for his private server.

From what I've seen he has a cool house, some chickens and a strip club
