    I bought minecraft a few weeks ago and have been playing it on and off. I'm finding it terrifying and confusing. I like it.

    At night when the monsters come out I'll throw a shack up around me and dig deep down into the earth laying torches til the sun comes up, slowly connecting everything into one mega structure. I think I need a non-euclidian geometry mod for the city I'm trying to build.

    I've had quite a few hilarious drowning deaths and one good lava death. My favorite death was probably the first day when I tried to see if I could walk on clouds. Too much mario I guess. Dying in stupid ways has probably been my favorite part of the game.

    I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of good item combos. I also forget how to make things if I take a break for too long. I can't decide if I should look at spoilers or just battle it out. Advice?

    And yeah after playing minecraft I'm more baffled than ever by the super crazy complex structures I've seen. Am I missing out on a fast way to build or are they just throwing a scary amount of time into the game?

    There is no fast way to build in Minecraft, outside of some external programs. Patience, a good plan, and maybe a nice multiplayer server not populated by people more interested in breaking things than creating is the key. Still, you can get a lot done in a little time with good organization.

    I would recommend hitting up the Minecraft Wiki for crafting goodies. It's a game about exploration and discovery, but it's hard to discover much of anything without good tools.

    @Jonah

    Everybody I know uses the Minecraft Wiki as a reference for item construction. There's so many item combos it's difficult to remember all of them, so a lot of people use this as a good guide for crafting. For instance, this is where I learned about the Compass and the Watch, probably my two favorite "tools" in the game. One keeps you from getting lost, and the other makes you a lot more efficient. You can stay underground during the day, and come up exactly when dawn arrives to farm, chop down trees, and to build.

    i don't mean to be 'that guy' but god, creating annoying machines in multiplayer games is like, really fun.

    I don't have a PS3 so I spent a lot of time today watching Youtube walkthroughs of last year's Uncharted 2 which I just learned about and holy shit, best action movie of the last two years amiright? Also I feel like I have visited Nepal now. It's weird.
  7.  (9291.107)

    @ BrianMowrey: 'Uncharted 2' was a lot of fun. I've still to try to multiplayer.

    I got 'Borderlands' for Christmas. Still not entirely sold on it. So far it's been a bit repetitive.

    Ok, I've made it through Machinarium and World of Goo, but I accidentally bought Blood Bowl in a sale. I reckon this means I'm still sinking...

    Are these daily Steam deals driving anyone else poor ?

    I have honestly doubled my pc collection in the last week cause of Steam sales.

    Spent the evening after xmas having drunken Dance Central dance-offs with friends. Not sure if the Kinect is all it's cracked up to be, but THAT was pretty damned fun.

    Started Fable 3 too. Fun so far, but not as enjoyable as the sequel was/is.

    I'm on vacation from work this week so I'll be neck deep in games. My hands are twitching just thinking about it. Off I go.

    the lady has taken over the game room for EPIC MICKEY.

    i am doing every errand i need done and then plan on losing my life on the world of FALLOUT...

    Steam sales are only increasing my collection by one or two games a day. The gog.com sale left me with an extra 25 or so games in a single purchase (admittedly, the total amount I spent at gog was equal to the discounted price of on game on steam).

    A friend gave me Fallout: New Vegas for Christmas, and packaged the download instructions in a pristine Fallout 3 lunchbox! By the way, the Wild Wasteland trait is already paying off, and absolutely worth the trade for one of the stat oriented traits.

    I just hide from Steam while these sales are going on. Otherwise I buy games I never ever play. Sure they are "only" $5...but you do that 10 times and it starts to add up. :P

    Learned that the hard way last year.
  17.  (9291.117)
    I haven't bought much of anything this year. I learned my lesson with last year's Steam sale, and have a nice pile of great stuff I've played maybe 5 minutes of. I've bought one game so far, and it wasn't even a deal of the day.

    By the way, I mentioned a game called Score Rush a few pages back and will bring it up again. It's the best twin-stick shooter since Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, and I've been playing it on and off since it came out 12/09. Here's a multiplayer video-



    Just an amazingly fun game to drop 5-15 minutes into. The controls feel utterly perfect, the action is insane but also instantly understandable, so the reason for dying is only rarely a mystery. It doesn't take long to amass a serious load of firepower, and the enemies aren't shy at all about throwing it back. The difficulty curve is perfect, and the entire from first enemy to last boss is quick enough that it's far too easy to give it one more round. Assuming you can get to the last boss, of course, which I've done a total of twice so far. I know I can beat that bastard, with just a little more practice...

    Just picked up Bayonetta really cheaply. It's totally fucking bananas but stylish and very good fun.

    I got bored of Bayonetta very quickly, the wackiness wore thin pretty sharpish and the gameplay is needlessly over complex.
