  • Impressive.

    Wait, so the game is not actually free ?
    Me, complete ignoramus in MC area.

    Don't worry, you aren't missing much

  • In the last 24 hours, 11,509 people bought the game.

    11,509 people will never lose their virginity.

    Incredible cash cow for what it is.

    Exactly. I bought the game a couple years ago, got "into it" for a few months, and now haven't played in probably half a year or logged in at all.

    If you've got nothing better to do but sit there and not be productive, Minecraft is a great mindless consumer of time. I wonder if the abandoned village I took over, made my base, and then camouflaged has been raided yet...

    I have been playing Minecraft for quite a few years now. It's something fairly entertaining and somewhat mindless that I can go play when I have free time. 10 million is a pretty insane figure for something that started out as an indie game.

    Yeah same here... haven't touched that game in a long time now. Used to play it a lot for a year or so though.

    I've been playing for a few years now, I can say got my moneys worth.

  • I've been wondering...what IS Minecraft? :$

  • @user123 said: Minecraft?

    google it.

  • @curtisg said: google it.

    I tried to, but I couldn't understand the point...

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Yes, please someone explain it's basic idea.
    Like it is a strategy game, command and conquer, fps, what is that you actually do in it.

  • @Maounique It's a sandbox survival game where you gather resources to expand your existence. You start off with humble beginnings but eventually you build up to create vast and varied structures and systems.

  • To sum it up: java based building block game with enemy's.

  • @curtisg said: enemy's

    Enemies*

  • So....it's like Age of Empires, but more restrictive, more expensive, and with crappier graphics?

  • NickONickO Member

    @user123 Isn't Age of Empires a simulation game?

  • Never ever Played MineCraft. :(
    Barely have any idea about it as well.

  • @NickO said: @user123 Isn't Age of Empires a simulation game?

    Yes. You collect resources, build things with those resources, and build armies/workers. You also try to take over other people's territories. Came out in the 90s, iirc. I think Starcraft was pretty much the same game repackaged.

  • @Voss said: I never fully understood why people are so obsessed with that game.

    Maybe there's a nude patch?

    Why? Is it salable in real world?

    Edit: Offtopic: I never knew adwords/adsense can be placed in videos. Found this on a Minecraft youtube video.

  • It is a sandbox game. You can make and do everything you want and only your imagination is the limit. (and the fact that you only got blocks :P)

    It is a little bit like Gary's mod only bad graphics

  • I personally spend my time in creative, alternating between building crazy stuff and blowing said crazy stuff to pieces. I <3 TNT, and E3-1240v2 CPUs. Also nice, Worldedit.

    It's MSN with ZX-spectrum quality 3D graphics and a bit of farming/resource-management :D
