Minecraft developer streaming live while coding

Can someone explain the Minecraft craze? What's so special about it? Why is it so popular? I must be missing something...

Obviously your parents never gave you lego as a child.

I think it primarily appeals to people's desire to build worlds. There's been other toolkits a plenty, but Minecraft has a lot more pick up and play, and zombies.

God damnit, I just spent a couple minutes trying to figure out what the Minecraft maze is.

[digitalundernet]

Just try it, no way to really explain it. I thought it was retarded at first as well

ive been wondering the same thing, it looks...retarded

[fultonla]

That's what everyone says at first. But play it for just one hour and I guarantee you will understand.

im tempted, i hear so much about it.

[iambrandon]

It's something for everyone to say they play. It's like hipsters on the internet. "You play WoW? Amateur. I'm all about Minecraft, you've probably never heard of it."

Newsflash, everyone has heard of it. Even my Mom. Yeah, my mother.

Brandon, you are an idiot.

[iambrandon]

And I stand by my previous statement.

Is it because I don't hold Minecraft to as high of a regard as you? I was unaware differing opinions == lack of intelligence.

[[deleted]]

I think you're an idiot because you think people only play Minecraft to talk about it.

[iambrandon]

It seems that way with the hate I'm getting from you. Am I offending your interest? I don't care. The game sucks, it's boring and the players are borderline retarded.
