The supposed "cobblestone lake" that he made. [IMG]http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1374/cobblelakehahaha.png[/IMG]

I hope Notch joins Valve. Then this game could get some serious movement.

Made my first bow today, fucking shit up with arrows.

[QUOTE=Ragy;24700869]I hope Notch joins Valve. Then this game could get some serious movement.[/QUOTE] He already said he was making his own company. So I don't think that is going to happen any time soon.

[QUOTE=Ragy;24700869]I hope Notch joins Valve. Then this game could get some serious movement.[/QUOTE] Serious movement like Episode 3 amirite?

Is there any chance of this going on sale soon? Like, does he have periodic sales or sales on holidays?

[QUOTE=Dr McNinja;24701039]Serious movement like Episode 3 amirite?[/QUOTE] Minecraft does not have a story line or is it a game series. Your argument is invalid.

[QUOTE=MedicWine;24700016]I thought this was a rule. "Don't use a proxy to log in. I don't care if your school blocks facepunch" Or something like that. [editline]01:26AM[/editline] The guy who streamed TheJServer had a giant underground city. It didn't have any sunlight, and he was using torches to grow trees.[/QUOTE] But not from a torch [B]in an air block spot.[/B] You can use torches, just put them diagonal from the tree.

[QUOTE=Big Ben;24701045]Is there any chance of this going on sale soon? Like, does he have periodic sales or sales on holidays?[/QUOTE] Well, Technically it's on sale right now because it's about $13, and when it's finished it will be $23. So now is probably the best time to get it.

[QUOTE=Big Ben;24701197] Tits, this just keeps getting worse.[/QUOTE] Buy it now before it's too late! Mow a lawn! Beg your parents! Take out a loan on your house or car! It's worth it I promise!

[QUOTE=Doomish;24701186]notch works fine on his own and he has put out more content than valve has in a shorter time span my argument is completely valid[/QUOTE] It's not just about who can push out the most content the fastest. It's the gradual progression of the community and the maturity of the game that I believe Notch with Valve could do better. More content ≠ better.

Valve joining with Notch is certainly a possibility but it isn't a NECESSARY possibility.

Ragy, I was only saying how valve is not actually making any progress developing Episode 3 that we can see. I'm not comparing the games at all.

Valve joining with Notch is certainly a possibility but it isn't a NECESSARY possibility.[/QUOTE] If he can create his own company to work on the game, great. I have no problem with that. All I'm saying is that Notch needs to decide to work with Valve or create his own company to get the game moving at a better rate. I simply prefer Valve, while many others want him to stay indie.

So, how do I get started? I bought it, and I started off with nothing, and so I beat a chicken to death so now I can beat things with a feather from it. How do I get a pickaxe and weapons and how to I build?

It also can explain the crafting system better than I can (and with images) and we don't have to type some long instruction manual up.

[editline]11:09PM[/editline] I have a problem. I know HOW to obtain wood so I can build my first pickaxe, but I can't break trees. Is it possible to break anything without a weapon?

Is it possible to break anything without a weapon?[/QUOTE] You should be able to, walk right up to the tree and aim at it and hold down mouse1 and wait for it to break (progress is shown by the amount of cracks being built up). You can use your bare hands to break almost anything, but tools just make it a lot faster (and the higher quality the tool, the better. Wood tools don't do much and deteriorate quickly, diamond tools mine things almost instantaneously and take a looooooong time to deteriorate). :ninja:

I am very much wanting to try this, I seriously need to buy it. I don't have a way quite yet but I suppose I'll keep trying. Since I'm not a beggar. I'm guessing that there is a massive MP base here.

How do you people play on fullscreen, the res is so high, it's hard for me. Also, new avatar. :iia:
