Okay, I might be outing myself as the biggest nerd on the board with this thread but I guess it had to happen sometime.
So, for those who are not familiar with Minecraft, watch this video:
It's very very difficult to describe the appeal of this game. Everyone I have described it to seemed extremely uninterested until I showed them what you can actually do in the game after you get over the learning curve. You can create nearly anything you want, and it's extremely rewarding. My friends and I are currently working on a castle, which includes a dining hall, library, dance hall w/ functioning DJ booth, a secret dungeon, a prison, a room fully made of glass to watch sunrise/sets from, and so much more. Then at night time monsters come out and if you don't have shelter, you have to fight them (or run away from them) and it's just an extremely fun way to pass the time. It's also slowly taking over my life.
So anyways, does anyone else here play this game? I was thinking about maybe starting up an Inforoo server if there are enough people interested (I can host it, I have a desktop I almost never use). Or if not, this could just be a place for us to nerd out and talk about our creations. I'll take screenshots of my current world if this thread gets any attention at all.
I had to ground my 15 year old because of grades and minecraft. Somewhere around 30 I just lost all urges to play video games. I used to love it I am not sure what happened.
I was a nintendo head since I was like 6 and I was a huge PC gaming nerd from like 12-16. However recently it has subsided a great deal. I own a Playstation 3 but aside from the occasional Call of Duty binge a few times a year, I really don't use it for much more than Netflix. This game has it's hooks in me though, that's for sure. It's just endless entertainment.
Also consider yourself lucky because of all the video games your 15 year old could be playing, Minecraft is far from the worst. Just be glad s/he doesn't play World of Warcraft.

Luckily his laptop is not up to snuff for games like that. His public high school in town gives all the kids a netbook. He has to leave his downstairs at bedtime now however.
