And nowadays the spiders can cheerfully climb up those walls and eat you.

I did consider that, unfortunately I dont have enough and its kinda glitchy with my texture pack (maybe in the future though)

What texture pack are you running?

Havn't played alot of Minecraft last few days. I've bought a DS from Cash Generator for £50 and Pokemon SoulSilver so i'm busy on that.

I'm going to be working on my lawn and the surrounding area of my base, I want it all flat! Then i'm gonna build a dock and expand my base down the mountainside, gonna be overhanging. Gonna need lots of cobblestone.

HG > SS

It's been too hot for the laptop that I have Minecraft on. >_>

Here's a tour of my little castle.

Library and Fountain, my mine is the doorway to the left:

An admittedly outdated version old dokus RPG, which I have since removed. I need to wait until the newer blocks receive a new texture.

Yeh the HD ones need patching. Dokus is nice but I missed gold, and the nether looked like water.
It's mostly the increased size of the textures which is kind of annoying but there are some nice ones out there now.


Nice castle LL

Well it was bound to happen eventually Yahtzee has reviewed Minecraft.

I wouldnt call it a "Review" as such, just some guy talking about both good and bad points on said game while throwing in his own humour, so i dont take his vids seriously.

So damn addictive...

Fair point but I couldn't think of a quick way of saying "some lunatic on the internet humourously talks about the good and bad points of a game," other than review.

So glad i bought this game.

Consequentially i just fell into a lake of lava, o welll was looking to restart world anyways

I've managed to avoid falling in Lava in my current world but I do keep falling into cave systems with annoying regularity.

I had a glitch with some armour on my old world making me invincible. Tried to die so many times to change it back. >_>

Lava baths, skydiving, dungeon camping, creeper rodeo, mass deforestation via fire. None worked...

I'd play if only it was free.

The version on the site (classic) is free. There is no survivor element to it though, just you with infinite blocks to build whatever you want.

It like 15 euros, which is probly relatively cheap compared to most games out there.

As for that you deffo get you moneys worth as not only do you get a massive amount of gametime from it but you get every single update aswell.

As for me I have really got my moneys worth from Minecraft and it can only get better.

It is free if you just download the standard (which is not infinite blocks).

You only have to pay for alternative game modes and multi player.

Actually it turns out that I can never play it,Free or not.

My computer just wouldn't allow java to install.
So no Java,no minecraft,no super happy fun times.

My soul is now dead.

My friend got me back into it and I discovered my planned super-world with a basic structure of a castle (i'd flattened a mountain the build it; took bloody ages) which had half of it hanging off the side of half a mountain and put up on large columns to mimic holding it up... then I couldn't be bothered and decided I was glad that minecraft physics can mean half a castle can float on a single layer of dirt.

I'd also found most of my old stuff, such as an experimental railroad that doesn't work going uphill with a passenger, ever. And my first base on that map, which consisted of a small hamlet with a solid gold church, a warehouse, a military tower with a railpath that circuits the outside of the military area; a path down to the Lower Reaches (residential area of the hamlet) and a rail system down to the under-town, which is built in a cavern system that war formed by the creation of the base. And to top it all off, it's surrounded by a flowing wall... of lava.

I made a fatal error of judgement when making the lava wall. In my haste I neglected to take into account the fact that my base would be on a mountain, and lava would flow down it. I'd also neglected to take into account the fact that I was in the middle of a forest. Suffice to say, about half an hour after i'd finished, I glanced over the hamlet walls and found a scene that would've given everyone in Greenpeace a heart attack. The forest was on fire, and I spent the next hour going around, putting it out and cleaning out the remnants.

I've also built a fairly large path system, consisting of raised, covered bridges (bridges are fast becoming a speciality of mine)and last night, i finished the structure of my castle (will post pics tonight) including a huge great hall. The Roof is pyramid-esque, so the great hall has a very high roof, and my aforementioned friend got my thinking. I spent a good few hours lining the walls and roof with glass (not putting it directly onto the wall each time, it had to allow lava to flow down from the top, so they were formed in mid-air) and when it was finished, it took me half an hour to demolish the scaffolding and walkways i'd had to make to access the roof.

Looks bloody good though.

Next thing to do is turning the columns the floating bit if held up on into a large dungeon complex.

Sorry to be off topic, but should I buy this game?

You will not regret it, i sure didn't

There is little point in buying it unless you want to set up a server and play with other people as you can just download it and play the full game on survival from your desktop.

for free? how?

Actually thats probly not true as even the download requires you to log in once online to be able to play it offline.

Unless some1 gives you their account details then ur set to play it for free, but meh its worth the 20 Euros or so.

You can register an account without buying the online... I played for a week before paying.
