Minecraft - FREE TO PLAY WEEKEND

edited September 2010 in Spurious Generalities
I know this is a little late, but whatever. Read this site, download the game for free.

Think of the remainder of this weekend as a legit free to try opportunity :D

    I seriously don't get the hype around minecraft. I mean, it looks like utter shit. Why would anyone want to play this?

    Can someone please explain to me what minecraft is because like Rupture said it doesn't look to promising.

    There's no gameplay and it has shit graphics, but its really addictive.

    Qhost used to have a server on Zoklet where we could all join, talk and build shit. Complete waste of time, but the fun part was going away then coming back to see the epic stuff people had made. Here's some screenshots of stuff I made a while back (people kept editing the first one)

    So is it like a building type game?

    Yeah its basically a MMO where you can build or destroy by cubes. We were only playing the beta which is why it had no point, but I think the actual game is something like you mine to gather materials, then build things like weapons, fortresses and shit. I heard monsters come out at night and you have to build shit to stop them from getting to you, but I'm not all the sure on how the main game operates.

    To me it was just an IRC where you could virtually hang out, build, and destroy shit together :D

    I'm not sure that there is a free version. It's either pay or don't play, I'm afraid.
