So what is the purpose of this game?

What do you do in it?
Would appear from the trailer doodle....Survive...so like a single playerish Civ game...persay


This would be cool if they could also try and make like a handheld version (-shrug- i like the idea)

My friend built a castle ingraved into the side of a mounataion that flows lava waterfalls and this guy burns his house down in less than a minute? LOL! But seriously the WOODEN wall behind the fireplace caught first. He should've either put that fireplace away from any walls or built a stone wall over that part of the house.

I love looking through the pictures of the amazing things people make. I am not that advanced at it yet.

My current project is to make lava walls to my house.
Ok ok not REALY lava walls more like glass walls with lava behind them
but its going to look awesome though.

This minecraft thing looks cool and kinda reminds me of dwarf fortress somehow?
Still have no clue what the hell it is though.. online or offline? free or paid game? or something in between?
Yeah, I checked the website but it didnt have any info or anything. Just a few download links =/

It caught fire because the floor was wooden, so the fire spread from the block directly into the floor, so into the surrounding wood.

It was serendipitous that Pandora was playing "Smoke on the Water" as I loaded up the video. I'd only heard of Minecraft after Penny Arcade made mention of it, doesn't necessarily look like my kinda thing but it's fun that something accidental like a housefire can occur within it.

Now, aside from building and razing houses what does one do in this "game"?

Good God.

Overkill much? Great fucking trailer, but jesus on the overkill.
It's not overkill, he still needs to go deeper.
Im kind of ashamed of that message, I was in a drunken stupor. Yeah, that was a really great trailer.

The free-ness only lasts until the site comes back up. I assume it'll lock you out as soon as the "free-weekend" (read: crashed server maintenance) is over.

Hilarious. I loved the game when it was free to play the last few days... Too bad it's $15 now. Guess I won't be playing anymore.

A pity you'd let $15 stand between you and a game more fun than most current $60 games.

Actually I made a deal with my friend to buy it if it's $10 or under.

But watching videos on it again... Yeah, I just bought it anyways. It's an awesome game and it's only in beta.

I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did at that video... I felt bad for the guy, too, because he starts the video talking about how hard he'd been working on it and stuff.
