You can make ships that move. You can also make cannons, and digital circuits.

Neat, but really, isn't this just virtual Legos?


Yum, virtual lego that adults play with. Probably goes a long way to explaining why it's so damn popular..

You say that like it is a bad thing. Spent about 70 hours on minecraft in a few weeks...must, drink water.

Very addictive, we host our own server, so it is kind of like mmoish...just no missions, or story, or anything really.

To conservasift

There is no "conservasift." There's just me and I'm the janitor, or if you will, a guy in a janitor costume.

I love it, bloated fat drug addicted hypocritical liar Rush is an "Icon of conservatism", certainly he must be the pinacle of 'conservative' ideals and ideas today.

Yes, he's a flawed human being. All of his foibles put together wouldn't equal a liberal hollywood "genius's" average Tuesday night.

I agree, his comments here may be taken out of context here, and he may well be laughing at idiots that believe that your actions determine the reactions of 'god' (or gay-a, freudian slip Rush?).

You can expect any non-liberal comments by non-liberals to be twisted by liberals. I'm sure the reverse is sometimes true, but just quoting liberals and what they really mean is insanity enough.

It's funny, he doesn't seem to realize that that is a major tennant of Christianity, (that god is watching and cares what you do, and will punish or reward you for it at some time) and I don't think he meant to publicly degrade and denegrate the tennants of Christianity, collateral damage sucks, huh?

I think you want the 'Hate Glenn Beck Wing' of the asylum here.

That said, turnabout is fair play. Rush consistantly mis quotes and mis represents anyone that does not agree with him 100%, faux news style, and rarely if ever retracts his lies. Now you're crying him a river because it has been done to him.

Please see above

Rush has weathered the left's *cough* sanity for over two decades. This is nothing. In case you never heard it, he calls the powerful attacks on him by the left "BBs against a battleship".

Now you can incorrectly call me a liberal and ignore all my logical points.

Dear liberal, where are the logical points in your ague-ment?

No ill will dudes, your opinions are yours.

24 year old (if you are referring to Manning). And I would say to you that courage without conscience is simple barbarity.

When the democratic revolution happened here in Portugal, 25 of April of 1974, the soldiers under the command of the regime all disobeyed orders. Things could have gotten very ugly if they had disregarded their conscience and followed orders like good soldiers. There was special concern over a battleship stationed near Lisbon, since the Navy was more loyalist. They could have leveled half the city. But they did nothing.

The only people who fired on the crowd were the secret services, trying to gain time so they could burn all the evidence of their abuses of the population.

So you tell me that Manning doesn't know his ass from his head, but maybe it's the other way around. Because US soldiers are very good soldiers. They always obey orders.

War with Iran has already been decided by the powers that be and the modern-day quasi-declaration happened last Thursday. Using the same legislative and propaganda playbook that led to the Iraq War, the U.S. Government has just officially declared War on Iran. Reuters reported "Congress on Thursday approved tough new unilateral sanctions aimed at squeezing Iran's energy and banking sectors, whic More..h could also hurt companies from other countries doing business with Tehran. The House of Representatives passed the bill 408-8 and sent it to President Barack Obama for signing into law. The Senate had approved it 99-0 earlier in the day."


Congress hasn't officially voted for a Declaration of War since World War II. In modern times they use creative wording in bills that authorize the broad use of force across borders in the sweeping "War on Terror." The Bush Doctrine of preemptively attacking countries because they may pose a threat to America in the future was universally trashed by progressives, but is alive and well under Obama, the Prince of Peace, without one dissenting vote in the Senate. This authority is what the Obama Administration claims also gives them the legal argument to bomb sovereign countries like Pakistan.

This unilateral decision by the United States Congress comes on the heels of a 12-2 U.N. Security Council vote on June 8th to impose a "modest tightening of sanctions" against Iran. Of course, Russia and China have been assured that sanctions won't apply to their energy needs in order to secure their votes. After the vote President Obama asserted that, "these sanctions do not close the door on diplomacy."

However, the United States preempted this embargo vote in Congress by taking up an aggressive posture in tandem with Israel by deploying an Armada of Battleships to the Red Sea. There are now reports from the Israeli National News that, "The Israeli Air Force recently unloaded military equipment at a Saudi Arabia base, a semi-official Iranian news agency claimed Wednesday, while a large American force has massed in Azerbaijan, which is on the northwest border of Iran."

Now, it seems that the United States is working overtime to sell their war plans to potential allies. CIA chief, Leon Panetta appeared on ABC's This Week and announced that the Iranians, "have enough low-enriched uranium right now for two weapons. They do have to enrich it, fully, in order to get there. And we would estimate that if they made that decision, it would probably take a year to get there, probably another year to develop the kind of weapon delivery system in order to make that viable."

While world leaders negotiate their piece of the Iranian pie in G8 negotiations, the multinational fear campaign has begun. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Sunday that a CIA warning that Iran has enough uranium to build two atomic bombs was "worrying," and criticized Tehran's secrecy over its nuclear program. Gathered at the G8 Summit in Ottawa, world leaders now "fully believe" and are "worried" that a preemptive attack by Israel on Iran is inevitable. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi told reporters that "Iran is not guaranteeing a peaceful production of nuclear power [so] the members of the G8 are worried and believe absolutely that Israel will probably react preemptively."


Enforcing an unprovoked embargo on a sovereign nation has been historically defined as an act of war. Unfortunately, very few of our elected officials know or understand history and therefore overwhelmingly voted for the new sanctions. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), an outspoken critic of Iran sanctions, was one of the eight house members to vote against the measure. Here is Ron Paul from a few months ago comparing sanctions to an Act of War while discussing this bill; H.R. 2194 Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010.

The Bush-Obama Doctrine is the rule of tyrants. Clearly it looks like Israel and America are determined to preemptively strike Iran even though Iran has always maintained that their nuclear program is for peaceful energy production only. America has once again engaged in an Act of War on a sovereign nation that has not harmed, or even threatened to harm her. Iran's biggest crime appears to be sitting on a sea of crude at a time when oil-thirsty Neo-cons, who penned the Doctrine, rule the world. The coming war with Iran will not be pretty.

I want to explore this game right now.


The Download section of the website Hybrid linked in the video details has a playable combat prototype build from 2007.

You can't explore planets or solar systems in it yet, (it's just to test the network code and graphics/physics engines), but still good fun for a pre-alpha.
It's team deathmatch, in fighters destroying the other team's battleships, with optional resource mining.

.. you sunk my battleship!

That's not a battleship, it's more of a merchant steamer with fugly black teeth... = \
