Can somebody please explain the fun of this game? I'm not trying to troll. Every time I see a video and some ecstatic explanation for the awesomeness that is allegedly happening on screen, I just don't get it. It just looks like a monumental waste of time. I played with legos as a kid and I got over it. As such, I can't justify dropping 10 dollars on something that just seems so pointless.This is the best way I can explain it: Minecraft is magic. No, really. Minecraft has a tendency to bring out the creative side of you. In a screenshot, you can't really grasp what's going on unless you've played it. The thing is, though, for everyone, Minecraft addictions start out as mild curiosity. "Hey, this looks cool, maybe I'll give it a try." They give it a try, and before they know it, they're constructing a multi-level stone tower to the heavens with cactus palisades and canons to fight off spawns of creeper insurgents.
Minecraft draws out the imagination just as much as it draws out the side of us that used to play with legos. I, too, got over legos--but Minecraft is what legos couldn't be: immersive, addictive, expansive. (To be completely honest, you can probably create more in Minecraft than you could with just legos.)

Can anyone recommend a texture pack?I'm currently using Doku's RPG pack 1.2
Best texture pack around, bro.
And, I'd play on a multiplayer server, but I CBA to deal with all the glitches in it right now. I'll be hosting my own for some friends of mine once SMP is less glitchy, though.

Sexuality =/= sexual I'm witty enough to know the difference
"The difference is, at least at 4chan there aren't underage kids..."
Lol no. I'll just stop you there.
As for exclusion? I've excluded one person out of 30. Yup big exclusion list there. Skype room is meant for chatting, and I asked for interesting people. Yes that's such a terribly bad requirement because I love talking with people who never have anything to say.
Keep failing kiddo ;)
There's no point arguing with you. You're the embodiment of most of what's wrong with the FAKKU forums nowadays: psuedointellectuals who think they're raising valid points when all they do is talk shit and insult each other. You've got to be at least the fifth I've seen since my return, and really, it's getting old by now. If you want to be another faceless voice in the crowd, be my guest, but have fun acting like a 15 year old on a board where underage users are banned on discovery.
Oh, also, you better "stop me right there" because if you read the rest of that sentence, you'd realize that what I'm saying is valid.

I've asked for terribly bad people who never have anything to say.I can cut apart sentences too! Just like you, however, that doesn't make the point anymore valid. I'm sure the room's filled with "cool people" with plenty of "interesting things to say", regardless of what your cut up sentence would seem to state.
tl;dr You can go ahead and act like a kid. It seems to be popular around these parts nowadays. I'm just gonna be the bigger person and mosey on over to a board that isn't filled with your kind. (In other words, more or less every board but IB.) If you want to prove me right, go ahead and respond to my post with some more shit talking. Everyone knows its the rebellious teenager's attitude to never let someone else have the last word.

Or you're just a faggot who in an attempt tries to use pathetic metaphors in order to make an attempt at being clever ;)Allow me to lead you in the correct direction. Type 4chan.org in the url directory, hit enter. People there might be more suited for yourself.
Try again hun
Ooh, you can spew sexual slurs. You must be incredibly witty. (See? I can use sarcasm to feign an intelligent comeback too.)
The difference is, at least at 4chan there aren't underage kids creating Skype rooms and lining up exclusion lists to pretend they have control over something. Have fun with your clubhouse though.

Omega God Tier right thar.
A Skype room: an interesting prospect at first.
Then I read the first page and watched the creator of it being an elitist and trying to exclude someone from it like it's some sekret klubhaus with a bunch of little boys fawning over dad's porno mags, with a big "No Gurls Alowwd" sign taped out front.
Needless to say, if this is the community of FAKKU that marks itself "slightly interesting to talk to", I'm reminded of why I stopped posting on the forums in the first place.

Start up computer, browse FAKKU forums, go to Vidya section, see "Best Final Fantasy series" thread, enter, first post:

Final Fantasy VII*NOPE*
Troll thread.
Final Fantasy 7, in my opinion, was not that great. There wasn't anything revolutionary about it. Cloud was probably the single most annoying video game protagonist to play as in all of gaming history, aside from possibly the Kid from I Wanna Be The Guy. Meanwhile, as a villain, Sephiroth was corny and, despite being incredibly stylish, all too generic of a character archetype. ("I don't fit in, I'm not one of you. I'm better. I should be a god! Time to die now. Etc, etc." I liked Kuja better anyway.)
Meanwhile, Final Fantasy 8 was incredibly fun for me. Between the card system, the story, the characters (Irvine was Bro Tier), the music, and the battle flow, it was an overall improvement. Final Fantasy 9, however, is still my favorite out of all the FF games I've played. I didn't enjoy 10 at all, I turned off the PS2 and walked away within 5 minutes of starting up 10-2, and 11 was utter crap.
But, just in case this WAS a troll thread, disregard everything else I said and focus entirely on what I'll say next.
The graphics in Final Fantasy 7 sucked.

Trust me, I feel your pain bro. I've built a humongous castle with a village, all surrounded by multi-floor castle walls complete with rampart-mounted cannons and a redstone drawbridge. Minecraft is the last game I thought I would ever get addicted to, and now, it's the last game I think I'll ever grow bored of.

Sounds like someone's been playing on Casual mode.
One thing I've learned over the years is this:
-If you're an American, you either love or hate your country. There's no middle ground.
-If you're in a country with a relatively equal standard of living to America, you likely take the opportunity to criticize our way of life. (i.e. Americans are fat because of fast food, Americans are all racist rednecks)
-If you're in a country with a lower standard of living than America, you likely take the opportunity to criticize our government and how our country is run.
The fact of the matter is, I'm a proud American. I love this country and what it stands for, and having heard tales of the third-world from relatives who go out there on humanitarian missions and from having seen first-hand the poverty of people living in such countries, I am beyond thankful for the life I've been given.
If your country has a lesser standard of living than America's, don't bother criticizing our government--chances are, better than not, our government has been a lot more successful at keeping the peace, keeping roofs over its citizens heads, keeping its people fed and protected, and keeping its territory intact. This isn't bragging, this is just common sense: if you want to criticize a country's government, first take a look at your own, compare and contrast the differences, and then match them up with the differences between your countries.
Most people bash the USA for childish or immature reasons. Sometimes it's jealousy, and sometimes it's fear. Some countries are afraid of how large the USA is. Some governments are afraid of how many freedoms the USA grants its people, and how the USA was formed on the idea of rising up against a government that abridges the rights of its citizens.
In my opinion, an argument over the superiority of one country over another is a waste of time. Canadians like to say our health care and education systems are bad. The British like to tell us that our government is too aggressive and that our people are dumb, fat, and brutish. Asians like to tell us that their girls are better looking (as wholly unimportant a point as that is) and that their technology and way of thinking are far superior. In the long run, who gives a shit? Everyone has an opinion.
Also, didn't read the topic. Just read the first post, so nothing I said was directed at anyone in particular. However, to answer the topic of "USA: a ship not worth saving?", I would like to remind the good people in this thread that there's no use sending out the lifeboats when there's absolutely nothing going wrong.
EDIT: I notice that I flip-flopped around and didn't really adhere to any one point long enough to properly explain it. Tough shit, I don't really give a damn right now: I'm in the middle of playing Fallout: New Vegas, and it is AWESOME.

I've quit FAKKU plenty of times. Mainly because the forum community blew up and just became too boring or dumb to handle.
I have a feeling I'm the only one here who never, ever used something even close to inappropriate for my avatar, lol
As far as being traumatized in real life goes, constant exposure to the internet has desensitized me to anything and everything, with very extreme exceptions.
