Seen some impressive stuff people have built but don’t think I would have the patience to get very far.

I’ve had a couple of attempts at playing but haven’t tried too hard just in case I do get hooked. It seems to be the time-eating game of the moment.

I’m still looking forward to the , since it includes so much cool new stuff… but I’m otherwise pretty much over it.ВP I’ve got too many other games that I haven’t put much time in with yet, and I need to get them out of the way to make room for the holidays.

But then I just grew tired of it. I still had my massive plans for construction, and still had plenty of inspiration from the official Minecraft forums and .ВP But I’d log in and I just didn’t want to spend hours and hours mining all that stone, moving mountains, and chopping wood.ВP To put it in short, I ran it into the ground.

By day, I dreamed up new and unusual ideas for structures to build, and by night, I built them.ВP I went from putting in a good deal of Team Fortress 2 almost every night to putting in a ton of Minecraft, exclusively.ВP I created a modest safe house, a massive network of mines, a two way mine cart system that went deep underground and underwater, a huge lighthouse, a giant stone skull carved into a mountain, and the beginnings of a second home, an underground lair with trees and deep shafts carved into the hillside above for light.ВP I even crafted a replica of .ВP Yes, I played a ton of Minecraft.

Curious to learn more about this game, I checked out the feature set for the single player for-pay Alpha client.ВP The prospect of building massive structures with limited or mined resources sounded daunting, but I wanted more, so I quickly made the payment, took a quick moment to note my hypocritical nature, and then plunged into a gaming obsession that lasted for weeks.

I spent the next hour or so building a massive tower with a door in the back that led to an underground tunnel.ВP Building was easy with infinite blocks and no enemies around.

I moved around the game world.ВP I liked the blockiness of it.ВP Then I clicked and accidentally removed a block. Amazed, I did this several more times, and then figured out how to make blocks.ВP Looking at the vast landscape generated before me, I quickly realized that this was a game with almost limitless possibilities.

And nothing, not even a lengthy stint with World of Warcraft, could have possibly prepared me for the vise that slowly wrapped itself around me as I loaded up the free, browser-based client and started playing around with it.

A few days later I was lurking around Reddit again, and looking through my message log.ВP I found my anti-Alpha post, and since I was bored, decided I’d check out the game’s website and possibly give it a try, if a demo was available.

A couple of months ago I was browsing , and I happened upon a submission about a game in its Alpha phase that people were absolutely salivating over.ВP I posted a comment about how I’d never buy a game in Alpha, because it’s bound to be bug-ridden or possibly never even finished.ВP I was ridiculed, but held fast to my opinion.

Continuing my string of posts about things that I wanted to talk about during my hiatus, following is a list of stuff that happened in the world of video games that I found interesting or noteworthy.ВP And addictive.ВP Horribly, horribly addictive.
