Totally forgot to write about Minecraft in the last post so I'll just dedicate a new post to it.
Minecraft is an online game that's currently in alpha stages. It is basically a very very simplified/minimalistic MMORPG where you can build up a world of your own with your friends... actually it doesn't even have any RPG elements in it. Right now it's just a game when you and your friends can run around and build a world out of blocks.
The creators are working on implementing a lot of new stuff to the game like a survival mode, enemies, growing trees, and even an anaglyph mode where you can play the game wearing red and blue 3-D glasses! The game is really minimalistic, and features really nice music that fits the style, all making for a very fun and childlike experience of building and exploring other people's virtual environments.
Here's a short gameplay video + a video of some of the new features in the latest update
And here's some photos from some stuff my friends & I built...
The game is free right now and so far the only thing that buying an account does for you (I believe) is lets you make your own skin. But it's being sold for half-off (about $15) while it's still in alpha stages.
