Nah, no videos. Next time he's playing I'll try to get him to take some screenshots. It's simple enough that you could probably figure it out just by looking at it.

Yeah for sure, I was thinking about making a video for awhile to show off my castle, there are a few things I was thinking of adding first though to add to the epicness of the castle. I enjoy watching other vids too, gives me some ideas of what to build in the game. If you haven't already, I'd also reccomend checking out X's adventures in Minecraft, the dude has a pretty sweet mining complex he made. I've spent hours watching his vids.

I see you found a spidey spawner, niiice. I FINALLY found one myself, also with spiders. Mine took a hell of a longer time to find though. I guess the key is to just mine in those massive caves that go over the ground, rather than dig straight down like what I was doing. I'm just thankful the one I found was spiders and not skeletons, I probably would have been slaughtered. I was pretty unprepared when I found it.

My only real problem with starting up minecraft would likely have to do with my problem with Animal Crossing.

My girlfriend LOOOOVED Animal Crossing....

and I really enjoyed it too.... except....

I made myself a kickass house I liked.... and I was happy with it.

I upgraded my house once, and I had everything I needed... heck I had everything I wanted.

I was content with my virtual life... completely.

So I was done.

A bigger house just meant i'd have to fill it with stuff I didn't like as much just to fill the rooms!

More clothes just meant I had to change more often to make use of the stuff I didn't like as much!

Even MMO games are built around the wolrd being a part of you.  Rather then you being a part of the world.

I have no desires to live like a king.  More just like a middle class person with a maid.

I suspect in minecraft i'll build myself a modest little place and be happy.

some people don't even do that, they just build a boat and sail the seas...

Ha believe me that's what I thought too, but the next thing I know I have a giant 8 level castle with a moat, a massive pyramid, and and endless network of mineshafts.

Something about this game just entices me to keep exploring caves and collecting valuable resources, at which point I take those resources and put them towards my ever growing castle, which makes me more bold and want to explore further, and the cycle repeats..

Yea check out the new pic on Notche's blog...

Did you see that video! It must have tooken the guy  a really long time to get all those rescources, and then to construct that bridge, well, lets say I'm not getting any farther then that ...
