Talking about mining....what do you guys think about minecraft?
I really don't see all the fun and hype people are having with this game. I mean, you can build anything that looks like horrible pixels.
But...yeah, horrible pixels. What's the fun in that?
In short: Minecraft is AWESOME.
The long version:
Vanilla MC is really entertaining, and can keep you occupied for quite a while, especially if you play it with friends. It helps if you haven't watched like 50 episodes of a lets play before actually playing the game as well, because it can be really interesting trying to figure stuff out on your own, crafting recipes in particular.
The actual game itself barely gets any updates any more, and if it does, it's rarely content-related.
That's why the real bread and butter of the game, lies in the ridiculous amount of mods the game has.
From guns, to breeding horses, to flying on dragons (or horses). There's mods that basically add more recipes to the game than there already are, and people keep churning them out so even when you get burned out, you eventually find something really original and entertaining.
Another thing to keep you occupied are User made maps you can play. Anything from puzzle maps (which can be difficult as hell, believe me) to adventure maps. There's also a mod (made by the guy that made Recount, love it or hate it, he's good :D) that's being heavily developed right now, with which you can create amazingly complicated and fun maps to play on, and to be honest I foresee this actually getting integrated into the game itself. I have a post about it in the Minecraft forum thread or whatever, if you're interested you can check it out.
In summary:
I've been playing the game for around a year now, on and off, and I can't say I regret paying 10 Euro for it, mind you, this is one of the few games I've actually
paid for I mean bought, (cough, cough) and I'm sure you could enjoy it as well.
