MineCraft

I started "playing" the game MineCraft recently.  I put 'playing' in quotes because it's an open, sandbox kind of world, so you don't really play it.  Even so, it's pretty addicting.

Some friends of mine started playing on a closed server, so I thought I'd try it out.  It's cheap (about $20), so if it was as fun as they were saying, it would be worth it.  And it is.

The graphics appear to be quite crude.  All blocky, and whatnot.  But some of the interactions are quite sophisticated.  There's more than meets the eye, as it were.

And now I can't wait to get home and build a lava trap underneath my drawbridge to kill some monsters!  I guess I'm hooked.
