This video is about a month old, but worth watching. Gives you a good backdrop to Minecraft SOE style. (And I say that in a very, very nice way). The tools are that easy to use. How this turns into a game besides Minecraft+ and what they do with the expected amazing community creations is…

Tuesday Ramblings.
I don’t post nearly as much when I am playing. One of those funny things – when I play a lot, I don’t post. When I’m not playing a lot, I post. With limited gaming/personal time, it just works out that way. I am in, and there is, a SWTOR beta. That’s all I am…
Feast or Famine
Going to a new blogging style. The exciting ‘when I can/feel like it’. When I blogged regularly I blogged pretty hard, 3+ posts a week, keeping on top of current events and all the “excitement”.

I Love People’s Creativity
A couple of really creative Minecraft ‘work’ (edit – errors with embedding. Sorry for the ugly linking.) I can see my house Beam me up, Scotty A working 16 bit computer. Really. I need to up my standards. I was happy just tunneling.
Minecrafting
I forgot how much I love the sandbox. It even took me a while to adjust my playstyle expectations – big, random generated world that I can do whatever I want with. Sadly, I have lost the ability to post pics to my own blog (help, Joe!) – so I can’t share the sheer awesomeness…
