Thats part of the joke though <.<
indeed. just hope they get rid of the chests soon. don't fancy having to build around them.

I am ashamed to say that I fell for this. Then again, I didn't read the article I just went straight to the "store".

Dammit... I wanted that Greifer's disguise, but the raptor won't let me have it :(

Damn raptors...

Wait... raptors sounds like creepers... they both end in "rs"...

HOLY SHIT! NOTCH IS ADDING RAPTORS TO THE GAME!

[sub][sub]If anyone takes this seriously, I will derisively laugh at you.[/sub][/sub]
RAPTORS YOU SAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! BUT I BELIEVE IT ANYWAYS!

*Caps lock off.*

Hehe, fiddlesticks.

It's not April 1st, guys. Seriously. NOT April 1st.

Guess I need to be skeptical of every article I read both on April 1st and the days adjacent to it. Excellent.
Yes, seriously. Games that do this type of thing deserve no credit and I sincerely hope the OP was being sarcastic.

Heck, even Maplestory has down this since their launch. And, c'mon, need I mention horse armor?

I think the gag would've been even better had it come in, say, August, because then it'd be absolutely nothing but Notch spiking the ball in Valve's end zone. And that would be AWESOME.

(But I still love you, Valve.)

I'm a little bit disgusted by the number of companies Mojang has beaten, when they haven't even completed one game. They have one game in beta, and no previously completed titles. Even Notch's coding is pretty terrible, as any serious modder will tell you. I guess it's the same reason the Farmville people did so well last year.

I guess Valve is probably kicking themselves for all the free advertising they gave Minecraft.
I honestly don't think Valve cares about a silly little competition.

Wait...

Does this mean if when Mojang crushes Bioware in the finals, Notch will mark the occassion by introducing the option to romance Creepers?

Noooooooooooo!
*fapfapfapfap*

Don't tell me you haven't thought of it!
New meaning to the term "blow job"?
Oh that made me chuckle.
Watch someone have already made that joke... :(

Intense creeper penetration scene...

they'd have to introduce gender selection or something to minecraft...

'cause y'know.... the creeper looks like a giant penis...

Ehm, IS a giant penis.

Notch has got to be one of the most popular person on the escapist. he is a beast! also, I would like to say that one of the mystery items should be raptor repellent!

My head is gonna explode, people think it's real. Oh my God this is like when Homestarrunner.com had the "Free Tour" and credit card required people didn't catch on that it's a joke.
Come on, it's not as bad as when people believed that TES V: Alinor was being developed by Armor Games.

That was a bad day...
I wouldn't know, I don't know that developer and I never heard of that. Sounds funny though. A lot of people flip out at a developer change, which usually is for good reason I'd say (Other:M, DMC)

All I know is I'm tired of people quoting my posts about Mojang being an impressive developer. People are too sensitive and think too highly of their opinions, it's like we can't have any opinion except theirs. Madness!
