This seems like the sorta community that plays Minecraft in their spare time. Please discuss if this is the case. :D
I need to grab a copy of it first. However, buying stuff generally requires money and some sort of online account with which to use it, such as paypal.
Else, yea! Minecraft!

I already bought it after "test playing" it for a while :>
I'm currently working on understanding how a 360° TNT cannon is built so I can rebuild it on the map of me and my brother. Hell yeah, that's gonna be fun.

I can build a one-directional TNT cannon, but a 360º cannon? That may require some explanation. :P

I want to play minecraft but i have a faulty grafics card its a intel accelerator 500 and i dont know how to fix the problem any ideas?
Faulty? I think you can't play Minecraft on that... thing. :p
Nah, srsly, Minecraft isn't very much performantly programmed, I guess... Uses up much resources for its look (correct me if you think I tell crap, but that's what it seems to me).
Is your problem currently that it won't start up?

Yeah it shows a black screen then shows bad grafics cards and a lot of codes i dunno what it is but i thought a downloadable version might work although i only have 2g ram so dont know how fast it will be :/
Install Linux. It still doesn't work with your graphics card.*

I find 'ph' as a nice substitute for 'f' in some words. Like 'phix your phaulty graphics card and play Mincrapht,' for example.

What does the G actually stand for? First time I saw that, I guy called GabeTheDrone had posted it in reference to himself.

Very logical to use f instead of ph, though. At least if you're Norwegian or something, as "graphics card" would be spelt "grafikkort".
Agreed.
I'm happy, have you ever had rats under your house? Well I just had zombies under my house, couldn't stay sane due to the constant UUUUUUUUHHHHHH. Eradicated them myself. :D

Especially to Exaro, but also to other ppl:
I got a very kewl Minecraft Server (why especially Exaro? Because it's an Australian Server =D). It has currently four different realms - the normal world, the nether, space (special thing only there!) and a special creative mode admin realm. We maybe will add another realm that's currently in discussion :]

Sounds good, is it minecraft classic? Because I still haven't bought the actual Beta thing yet.
about 18 hours later…
Ah. Sorry, no :/
Thought you had the beta version. It's really awesomesauce, especially compared to Minecraft classic. Although you need to think different at first. =D

Well.. this discussion is somewhat old, but I play Minecraft (and I like to think that I am good at it) and if you still haven't figured out the 360 degree cannon, I can help you with that, as well as pretty much anything else to do with redstone: shotgun cannons, multidirectional cannons (you can change direction, and power of shot), locked doors, locked double doors, secret areas using pistons, combination locks, or just random other Minecraft stuff.
Thanks man, the 360° cannon was built ages ago though and I could redo it at any time :)
I recently thought of a nice trap room which looks like having a pressure plate and a door, but when activated, the walls are pulled away by sticky pistons and a dispenser wall behind it shoots the player, while other sticky pistons close the exit with stone blocks =D
Pretty rad, and it mostly works.

Cool! I just started playing 1.8, and it is AMAZING! pretty glitchy, but when it comes out on monday that should be fixed.
Should be fixed? Should... Will take some days though, to actually be, and a lot of bugs will stay until 1.9, I suppose.
And it will be a huge pain in the ass for server admins like me :D

I've been playing Minecraft since it was still in alpha.
and really, i feel 1.8 isn't all it was cracked up to be.
Even though, the new graphics are amazing, but require a lot of memory to run smoothly. which my shitty computer can't do.

I have been playing since alpha, and 1.8 is AWESOME
Make a bunch of giant mushrooms, add in a giant 8-bit mario, and then use note blocks to make the mario theme song.
THEN tell me 1.8 isn't cool.
No, seriously, do that and I will believe you.
(I need screenshots though)

I'm still afraid to try Minecraft. I've heard it described as Minecrack and I am susceptible.
Minecraft is awesome! I can't believe that two of the greatest things in the world are connected; minecraft and binarpilot. I've currently found a nice world with a series of islands and am connecting them all with bridges :D
I'm too addicted to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Finally found a way to fight those MGS abstinences.
MineCraft is a game for those with too much time on their hands and/or too little money. i fit into both of those
It's addictive. Play it, and there's instantly a noticeable delay in the music-making.

I just don't give a fuck about laptops. Mainly. Desktop PCs are better in so many ways for me :D
I would enjoy having some crappy thing to take to university next year though.

My PC sucks, although I'm getting it upgraded soon so it won't suck as much, but if I had a laptop I could use all of the time I spend at school waiting for dad to finish work to make music.
Yes, it would be great for free lessons. I'm playing loads of N64 in those with my classmates, currently. That's nice and nerdy, but not as productive.

Is anything fun ever productive? I did the same thing in high school, now I just end up listening to music while looking at stupid/ funny stuff on teh world wide interwebz. If you will excuse me, according to the rules of the internet, I need to lurk moar (after building that steam punk city in MineCraft).

WUT ? Of course fun stuff can be productive ! I'll add that in life, you should choose your work by degree of fun and love you experience doing it. Although of course, work won't always be fun, even if you love what you do.
Work hard, Play hard !

But it is not just evil and epic... but also one of the world's finest sorted libraries!
I know it is not enough of a CYBORG T-REX, but it's a try for one. That turned out being not necessarily a CYBORG T-REX, but at least something awesome stomping something awesome. And I think that's awesome.

Around 3 days in real life. We have a real master at creative building, he did this after I left him a sign with my ideas ;)
(Only the T-REX. I did the interior and the sphere.)
