Will Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Internet transfers shouldn't require any actual conversion per se as the money doesn't really exist in the first place, so they're usually free. I wish someone had told me internet transfers were done with pretend money before now, only now do I realize I've wasted so much real money!!

Mundi Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Need to start taking screenshots of what me and Vicar have been working on, that is to say, the towers and our other project that is almost finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 So, other than putting blocks together, what is Minecraft about and why is everyone raving about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 So, other than putting blocks together, what is Minecraft about and why is everyone raving about it? It's an experience. I can't put it any better. Sorry. If you haven't been lured in by the images and videos of gameplay, it may simply not be for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 So, other than putting blocks together, what is Minecraft about and why is everyone raving about it? Exploring, and finding crazy weird shit. Last night was an epic underground exploration adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 So, other than putting blocks together, what is Minecraft about and why is everyone raving about it?I think the attraction is that it's kinda like playing with lego, except with a much larger canvas and zombies.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I think the attraction is that it's kinda like playing with lego, except with a much larger canvas and zombies. Plus it's an enormous world that's completely random. There's genuine exploration to do - an unexplored world, treasures to be found, dangers to beware of.

Mundi Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 You have to remember it's still in Alpha... I know that quite well, both the site and the game itself make it quite clear. It just gets really annoying that I am talking to someone online right now and has not had any problems with it. While I have not had a single session that did not have massive problems. Protip: turn your draw distance down a notch. I have it on tiny and have limited frame-rate on to increase performance. Tried every advice I have found with my google-ing powers. I just have to wait for the game to just magically work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I actually found that on my game having limit frame rate on actually made things a lot worse. Maybe try turning that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 It's quite fun to keep up with this thread. Your society is taking shape, with pranksters and thiefs about! I'm sure it won't be long before there's an elected leader, taxing you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Dysonism is inbound! Changed my skin to a Scott Pilgrim one after all. I have some plans for some pretty sweet art coming soon Also worth mentioning: Anyone who wants to change their skin on minecraft hassle-free should use this website (http://www.minecraftskins.com/) and hit the Up arrow on the site to automatically change your skin. It's a great tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Snapped some screenshots from me and Vicar's house: My oh so torch lit made of wood house: and on the top: Vicar's literal tree house: and the inside: Totally not a fire hazard. But what's this? In the distance. Adventure ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Obsidian, the stuff you get if you put out lava with water. It's incredibly hard to mine, you need a diamond pick and about 20 seconds for each block. Worth it for the effect though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
