I love Minecraft because I love building crap but I also get distracted by my compulsion to punch sheep whenever I see them. I was getting better but then the sheep starting to come in more colors and it only got worse, way worse. Must...punch...sheep...

Most non critical Yahtzee review ever! Have to agree Minecraft is great, makes a nice change from all the identikit big budget blandfests out there.

Because the last thing we needed was for the ZP cult to merge with the Minecraft cult.

The skull bit gave me an idea. I usually just try to build stuff that's undercover. I once made a mansion underwater, that required the displacing of every cube of water in the area, on by one, since I don't know a better method. It turned out great. The downside was I couldn't find it if I went to far away. So I built a tall tower with a lava lamp on top of it.

They they added sea creatures and I did it all over again.
I once made a waterfall with a hidden tunnel, inside of the tunnel there was an enormous staircase with lava and water on the sides, by the end of it there was a huge room with a skull that had the eyes on fire and another tunnel in its mouth that led to the actual house.

Is it just me, or can Minecraft be classified as "survival horror"?

I mean, you spend the first few minutes desperately chopping down a whole forest and getting a base ready before the night, and then you spend every dark night cowering in there with a sword made of WOOD, terrified that something will sniff you out.

And even when you go deep into the earth, you always have to make sure there are enough torches so that no mobs will spawn. Believe me, there is nothing more scary than going into your mine, only to be ambushed by a ton of skeletons that spawned while you were searching for clay on the surface.

Oh no! I hope he doesn't get in to it... that would probably result in no ZP next week!
That game does literally gobble up time like it's a fat kid at an open buffet.

Oh my gosh I know you all will think "Yeah right", but I actually predicted he'd do a Minecraft review! When--I didn't know, but I knew it'd get so popular he'd have to do it. Great review as always--Love how you referred to Creepers as bushes/shrubs. They ruin everyone's work, Yahtzee. Hopefully in time they'll realize that they die from exploding. Then they will bow down to you.

Monsters can easily be disabled by changing the difficulty to peaceful. I really hate nighttime though.

It's rather shocking how similar this is to my first experience of Minecraft.

Which I love.

I love that second ending comment about the sheep, fucking hilarous.

As a side note, this developer will be in this year's March Mayhem, so make sure to vote for him in March!
Oh Lord... IT BEGINS!

Notch certainly has my vote, possibly even my number 1.

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.
Made all the more fulfilling when Survival Multiplayer happens properly and you can show people your skull fortress, point out the tasteful glass floor, then send them falling into a tank of sharks with laserbeams on their heads.

It's... It's so beautiful in my mind.

I really need to give this minecraft a try, its just...that paying for a beta..., oh well.
Exactly... the fact that I'm paying for an unfinished product is a little screwed up in my opinion. At least release some sort of a "demo" version where we can try it out first, where like after 1 day you lose all your progress unless you buy the thing. $20 - $30 for this seems a little excessive to me.

Ah Minecraft, that game I'm actually not too bothered about right now because I have other things to play. Shame all my Minecraft playing friends keep having a go at me and assume just because I don't play Minecraft means I hate it with a passion. I'm sure I would like it if I played it but there are other things to do.

No you don't need to go to sleep. You can stay up, play Minecraft, MINE OBSIDIAN, LOTS OF OBSIDIAN.

These made me laugh so much. I think they also probably sum up Minecraft perfectly...

You know what I was told by my countries news agencies about the flood-thing? That there were not only poisonous snakes in the water, but also crocodiles and bullsharks from the nearby river. Take care, Yahtzee.
