Dude, why did you say "Americans" and refer to the USA? Canadians live in America, surprisingly enough. As do the inhabitants of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, etc. America != USA'ians.
Would be nice if they had a tutorial though, figuring it all out takes too long, so many other games start calling while I go through different combinations just to get one pick.

Giant Skull Fortress with lava coming from eyes?
Giant Skull Fortress with lava coming from eyes?
I cannot find my previous comment so I add a new one. I actually am amazed that this game is selling so much (I bought it and love it) but perhaps there is a marketing gap in selling games like this. Nowadays every game is going multiplayer and adding tons of "social network" stuff in them and banking basicly on those properties. Still in minecraft you can enjoy the loneliness anyways.

Try this one? http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp
Free online VERY basic version that you cant save :/ but gives you all the materials to do what ever you want.
I have to say mindcraft seems like a really fun game, but yeah you need a project to enjoy it... like the sims, you need to have a person you really wanna play with/torture if you want to enjoy it ^__^ Mine are the twilight characters, that will teach them for ruining vampires and werewolves.
P.S: I hope the Mana Bar wasn't flooded as well, that could be a crime against all gamers and ZP fans

I wish the creepers didn't spawn in the daytime. I walked out of my starting house to find five creepers who immediately blew up my house.
Maybe mine isn't as good as the last Skull Fortress but i'm pretty damn proud of it.

"Hang the fuck on Yahtzee you sand sheltered ragamuffin! I've nothing better to do than argue with you on an internet!" said someone in Yahtzee's voice that wasn't Yahtzee.
"A game that costs $15 and crashes as often as patient on House who says his heart is fine gets a pass because its Beta?
"Well that's rather giant quality control loophole for reviewers to exploit, isn't it? So the next time some half finished game needing giant patches to be downloaded to become playable gets released, are you going to condemn it because its *BAD/EVIL/WRONG* or condemn it because they forgot to add the suffix *BETA* to the name?" he asked before SLAPPING HIMSELF ACROSS THE FACE.
OWW!
Ok. I won't do it again Yahtzee! I promise! Now give me back my hand and lay off the mind control!
In all seriousness though I do think the novel aspects of Minecraft don't entitle it to getting a free pass for being a buggy Skinner box time sink for gamers that really offers no more real depth than 3D Voxel art as opposed to say Farmville's potential for 2d pixel art. Glorifying grind-as-art isn't OK for JRPGs; why is it ok for Minecraft?
