I especially liked the part where he said that he had a bunch of rocks and a giant hole in the ground. It's so true! When I built my fully-automated minecart station, I had an entire Large Chest full of nothing but cobblestone left over from all the mining! By my calculations, that's 3456 pieces of cobblestone! What the hell am I gonna do with all that? Build a Mansion? Well, I suppose I could make another...
Thanks for Reviewing Minecraft, the game has so much charm but the charm is limited to the imagination of the user, its crazy though as my friend made a Skull Fortress in a Mountain with Lava pouring out its eyes some months ago, crazy odds but made me LOL immensely
I've never made a skull fortress, I need to do that sometime
But really, everything Yahtzee says is true, and I was equally disappointed when I found out my golden pick didn't do squat

I kind of feel like minecraft has totally overshadowed dwarf fortress... then again DF has been around for longer and is still buggy as butts.
EDIT: For example, DF adventure mode in the most recent release: Given the option to attack an Ooze, while no enemies were in sight. Figured attacking couldn't hurt... which it didn't. Instead it dropped me bout 100 z levels into the caverns. Glitched into nearly inescapable territory. Fun? No. Fun is intentional. This was just annoying :|
Then again, Fortress mode is still quite the tits... until halfway through your gold, silver, platinum, limestone and green, clear and crystal glass pyramid and battle grounds for the Bronze Colossus that you previously captured is built; your game crashes. And continues to crash at the same point every time. ARUGHGH.
Minecraft kind of wins on that point. Then again, Minecraft doesn't have hundreds of dwarves doing your bidding (or partying at diorite table against your bidding -_-; )

I like the idea of a skull fortress.
However, what I tend to do is build a giant, torchlit skull above my base on a massive stone plinth.
This way, If I get lost I can follow the huge glowing skull in the sky; like a wise man following the skull to Satan's birthplace

Wait really? Other people thought about using a game about building blocks to make NES characters?!? My mind..... is blown...Demonio Penguino said:

... Well duh, man. I even said that in the post. Hope those observation skills come in handy.
MCedit will help you out there - I used it to resurrect a save file of mine that glitched out as soon as I finished a lava-covered tower of doom, and noticed that I could move my spawn to my house - a nice touch, makes the world mine ^_^remmus said:
Of course, once you start using editors, it's kinda hard to stop :/ So tempting to use INVedit to make all those mega structures possible. Just have to work out a balance, be disciplined and decide how long you want to spend grinding and how long playing - and where the line is...
Ah, the wonderful ways of minecraft.
Anyone else having trouble getting this video to load? I keep getting a message saying the video cannot be found. The other episodes seem to be working fine...
Well, even without being able to watch the video, I'm looking forwards to it. I've been playing Minecraft for months now, since probably.. what.. September or August?

Huh. Thought you weren't referring to the other people who already thought up of that as "every nerd". Sorry, I didn't know that every single nerd in the world thought of making NES characters in Minecraft. Especially the ones who haven't even heard of minecraft. My mistake.captainjackofms said:
Hmmm, giant golden penises? I've got a few friends who'd need no more motivation than that to play this game. I however, am getting a little tired of games that seem to use boring, repetitive tasks like McG uses crazy CGI shots.
WoW never grabbed me for that very reason. I can understand how young whipper-snappers can get excited over increases in integers labelled "Level" or "Score". But I have long since grown out of that phase and sometimes wish I still used the drugs that made games like Minecraft so appealing.
My fellow escapists, don't grow up. Games really start to suck when you're old! XD

it inspired me to build said golden cock n balls, took me well over a massive 4 hours but is worth it
