Has anyone around here tried this out? (the paid version).

It's a Lego/sandbox/crafting/zombie game.

I've been meaning to check it out since march when VGcats pointed it out to me, but it seems to be picking up a lot of attention recently, and I have heaps of time off. I think i'll check it out


it's currently 10 euro for the alpha, which is about $14AU, apparently it will double when it goes beta. Ohnoes!

Watching the Good Game review atm... seems a lot like an FPS Dwarf Fortress.

Pretty neat, can understand the love, but a game with no end and no point isn't something I like to get myself into.

Hah, they just mentioned Dwarf Fortress and Nethack.

Someone made a minecraft nuke...

15 kiloton detonation of TNT, a minecraft nuke.

[/URL]If that number sounds familiar, thats because that is the explosive yeild of the little man bomb dropped on hiroshima. Using volume and weight calculations, I took the time to find out how much that would be in minecraftian TNT, the answer? roughly 15,000 blocks, arranged in a 25 by 25 by 25 cube. Once set off, the server died, all connected were DC'd in a flash of bright and incredible deadly internet light. Two hours later the server finished (by finished, we mean gave in and allowed enough resources to be used to let people log on), people emerged. Twenty minutes later the brick rendering finally finished. The result was devestating.

That's awesome.

This Ars article is a cool read: Building a hit, one block at a time: the creation of Minecraft

How sad would he be if a creeper snuck up on him and detonated in the middle of all that shit.
