I've been watching videos called X's Adventures in Minecraft I must say, his commentary makes the videos very entertaining.

That could be fun, though my play time isn't consistent.

Those are the ones that got me hooked. I sort of have my own "X System" going.

You know you're a little too into a game when, at night, you get freaked out for a second becasue a room in your house isn't lit and you think something might spawn.

This is funny since it didn't happen to me.

Wow. That looked pretty awful.

On the positive side of Minecraft, you may have seen this video already, but here's someone who built a "working computer" within Minecraft!

I bought the game, and now it has given me a reason to be afraid of the dark again.

OK. I am seriously addicted to Minecraft. My wife had a talk with me about it on Sunday (and I've only owned it for a week).

I had to get up into our dark attic through a small square hole the other day and I almost looked around for zombies and iron deposits.

Worst of all, I haven't been to this website since Oct. 8th at 3:46 p.m., AND I haven't planned my army for National Heroscape Day yet. My new addiction (Minecraft) is conflicting with my old addiction (Heroscape). I need an intervention!

You've just described my life for the past two weeks (without the talk, I guess I've hidden it well).

What's really nuts is that my 20+ hours of playing to this point has only resulted in exploring maybe 0.0000001% of my world. So much to do...

Do you find yourself working on one 'project' in the game only to be distracted by another idea, and then before you know it, you have 10 differnt things going on that you want to finish but can't possibly?

Oh, I *have* played this game! It's just, it was called World of Warcraft. And I had to quit before I got sucked into the monitor.

Good luck, guys.

man, I remember getting lost in the game. I had gone out to find wood to rebuild my home (which burnt down when I tried to put in a lava pit) I discovered that I had traveled to far and while trying to find my way back to my home when I stumbled upon a very big underground cave...so I went exploring and found a monster spawner in there... I died in that cave to skeletions and zombies and all of my stuff will remain lost forever in the deep bowls of the cave, (cuz I can't find it again.)

Totally. I just finished a wheat farm and a reed farm. I am currently working on: 1) taking down a hill above my house that drops exploding creepers onto my new reed and wheat farms; 2) putting in a security wall to prevent zombies, etc from reaching my new farms; 3) building a tower I can see from a distance so I don't get lost in my wonderings anymore; 4) exploring a mine I dug under my place; 5-6) exploring several caves near my place; and 7) finishing a tree farm I have been working on for some time.

And when I drive too and from work, I think of additional things I need to do. And when I play, I get sidetracked by caves and other interesting things that keep me from completing my current list of tasks.

I love this game.

by security wall do you mean fences? Monsters and animals cannot jump fences to reach your farms. As for the monsters dropping in from a cliff. You could build a greenhouse and fill the greenhouse with torches so the crops even grow at night.
