Zero Punctuation: Minecraft

[GeorgW]

Wow, didn't see that coming! Nice episode, but not enough hate

 

[John the Gamer]

Fuck my overenthusiasm. Got so exited I posted before the 5 min banhammer was gone. But it's nice to know even Yahtzee is not immune to minecraft's infinite piles of joy.

 

[HandsomeZer0]

I might play it now, if only to build a skull fortress in glasgow on a heroin binge..

 

[AssassinJoe]

Of course Yahtzee would make a giant skull fortress.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Every time I hear people talk about Minecraft, I oddly hate it more. Now I know how others fell when everyone talks about CoD.

Amusing episode overall.

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

I was wondering if we'd ever see a review of this. I figured it was impossible because there is very little "game" in Minecraft, and it's still only in beta anyway.

Anyway, it was quite funny, and I certainly know the feeling of having been struck by inspiration, only to look up 9 hours later from the top of a Doom Fortress.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Yes, Minecraft. The lego of the gaming world. The creepers are just like your little brother, ready to surprise you and destroy your giant tower which you spent hours looking for specific parts to build.

...

Great fun! I've seriously wanted to buy this game ever since my friend showed me his worlds.

oh noes shrubberies

Spoiler: you want a tutorial? fine have one

that is all you need to know

 

[Evil the White]

Everybody hates creepers.

 

[Cavouku]

Oh God, the gold... I found gold once. And then I fell in lava.

FFFFF!!!

Man, This last week I've spent more time playing Minecraft in school than doing schoolwork. It's exam week, and I don't study, but the teachers think I do. Only one left to go, and I'm doing fine.

Until then, I'm going to make a small villa in the deserts, for me and only me... unless someone can direct me to a multiplayer server, because I am a sad lonely soul.

 

[lacktheknack]

I think EVERYONE has tried to build a skull fortress, hence why they are epic...

Now I just need a mod for sharks with laserbeams on their heads.

Notch has implied that sharks will be on their way. Are lasers really a fantastic idea...?

And about the tutorial: Notch has also implied adding one of those.

 

[Something Amyss]

Gotta love the comparison to a Zelda/there will be blood hybrid.

 

[Calico93]

Awesome as usual.
Was thinking of trying minecraft, best book a free weekend for myself.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I recently got addicted to Minecraft, myself (and I don't normally get addicted to games).
I quite enjoyed this review's use of cawk jokes.

 

[tictactoe]

I'm pretty sure there's a special place in hell just for the suicide shrubs. Not that Hell could keep creepers from exploding and setting their remaining brethren free. I've only ever played the old free version but I've watched friends with paid accounts play and it's tempting to buy it.

 

[yourbeliefs]

Looks intriguing, but I can't get any info on the hardware requirements..

 

[Xman490]

Yet another review goes without mentioning the "Peaceful" difficulty option in which the only danger is sitting in lava for more than a second. It leaves out the monsters, though, so you can't make fertilizer nor TNT.

 

[Teaguy]

I've never thought I'd get angry over him not hating a game.
Seriously, Minecraft's alpha is an overrated POS.

 

[emusega]

Alright, I never played that game and to this day I still don't know what the fuck it is about. But when even extra credits and now (to some extend) yahtzee say it is a good game, I guess I need to finally give it a try.

 

[LordSphinx]

Even people who are convinced that they will hate Minecraft become addicted. My girlfriend was vehemently against the idea of playing it, saying she doesn't like it when the game is obscure about its features, not liking open sand boxes and preferent having directions, and being completely grossed out by the graphics. yet, she tried it because I insisted. 10 minutes later, she bought the damn game, and now she is insisting that we play more minecraft instead of eating or sleeping.

Usually, I comply. I need an unhealthy dose of minecrack.
