) and a whole bunch of other stuff. Like you can build a house out of resources you pick up, and there's no real limit to what you can make. well the "limit" you have is that everything is blocky... but what do you want from a game thats a 250kb download?at the moment, the game is so popular that their website and servers can't handle it... so much infact that the verification doesn't work, and on the login screen, you just click "ok" instead of entering a username and password. The fact that valve once announced it in a TF2 blog post didn't help
. But it's way past that happened and well everythings broken at their site, so they are calling it a "Free Weekend" event Chances are it's going back to the way it was run before tomorrow... but maybe not.
if you wanna try out the game, get it here...

Start off by finding a tree, knock it down and get the wood resources, make a pick axe, and then hunt for coal, build up your resources, and then do what you like.
here's a crafting guild

mouse over images to see what they are.
you'll need to build a crafting table to make some of the larger more complex items. add 1 set of plants to each square in the standard crafting area.... and afte rthen u can make pickaxes, swords, etc.
The difficulty comes during the night. This game is essentailly a survival game. Why get res and build a house? Cos at night the zombies come out and try and each you, thats why
. Before they come to get you though, you can cage yourself in a mountain by breaking the rocks and putting rocks in the entrance... careful though, green zombies explode.This might also be a good game to play as a group, as with the multiplayer, someone can host the world and everyone can play in that world. I've not played multiplayer yet, but thats what i understand it to be like... so if people like the game, maybe ned will host it
? The games currently in alpha stages though, so multiplayer is bugged apprently, but worth a play, and maybe there's a cracked version so we don't have to pay for it i dunno, but meh, for now try the game and post here your thoughts
minecraft is back online now, but now will be able to play it a bit better as a result, plus sounds and music will be back etc.
