Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 so i haven't ever played minecraft, but i reckon it potentially takes intellectual and/or creative effort to build structures such as that bridge above, and of course significant amounts of time and finger movement. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to grab an Arduino and build a robot instrument or something, or make art with real wool? You know, stuff that actually has an impact outside of a virtual sandbox?

Today we already have too many products of all sorts. It great to be able to create things that remain unmaterialised. Minecraft is healthy.

Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 what makes it more appealing then, to build stuff in Minecraft rather than in say, Blender? (i'm not trolling btw... i find it highly impressive how people build actual virtual computers in it, but then these computers are in the game and ...?)

Guest Babar Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 i find it highly impressive how people build actual virtual computers in it, but then these computers are in the game and ...?) really ? Some dude implemented the ascii system (using a bukkit mod called redstonechips) : it filled a 5*5*10 block (roughly). Building a computer would be insane. A flip-flop takes a lot of room. Someone should make a mod for miniaturizing redstone installations. You'd build your stuff on a obsidian surface/volume, put a miniaturizing block next to it, feed it with sand+coal and it would produce a block that works like your redstone installation. Also it's very annoying you can't put pressure plates directly on top of redstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 i think the point is that its a fun game . the way i see it , its like an MMO in a way , but instead of working towards getting to the highest level and getting a bunch of cool armor and the best weapons/abilities, youre working towards making really cool stuff. and i mean , if youre gonna waste time on a big game like that you might as well be exercising your crative mind.

Ego Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yogcast is a weird guilty pleasure. It makes no sense that I would enjoy 2 nerds messing about. Yet I'm so hooked on their Minecraft series. Thanks to whoever posted the "survival island" vids in here. Their closed community must be a wicked place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Possibly jazz, but try seed Glacier (with the capital G). It's wholesome! Possibly even better than gargamel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
