5 Reasons Why Minecraft Rules

In no particular order:

-Dream it, Do it
This is my primary residence (of 3). That whole mountain has been hollowed out and there is an extensive tunnel system including a dungeon I’ve been strip mining I call The Deep Mines. Above you see my Skybridge system, and on the beach, my portal to hell.

-The Horror
Minecraft may very well be the most terrifying game ever created. Minecraft will kill you. Often. Frequently without warning. Yeah, the exploding Creepers will get you, but so will tunneling into an underground lake and drowning Disturbing a single block of sand in the wrong place will burry you alive. Minecraft is the ultimate survival horror game. And there is no one who can help you.

-Your ears are more usefull than your eyes

Do you see the horde of zombies out there? I hear  them. I also know if I wait here  a moment I can saunter right out whistling Dixie. Soft piano music plays as the morning sun sets the zombies alight. I listen to them burn from the safety of my hole.

-Face the Consequences

Here’s the game menu. No save. No load. You die, you drop your stuff and respawn at the same point. The world persists, but you are stripped naked and dropped back off at the beginning. Keep plugging away at it, and you’ll finally be able to take a stand. Make a stand, and you can work towards taming this randomly generate world; Mining and Crafting it to your will. You will die often, but every life WILL leave its mark.

-Punch a Cow

Aww, yeah! Few things I love more than punching some big, stupid Minecraft cow right in his blocky little face!
