Oh my goodness, that truly is bloody hilarious. Needs some Talking Heads on the side.

He's like Gollum, except instead of making a "gollumgollum" noise, it's "nnnnnd"

Since this doesn't seem set up, it's got to be one of the most awesome computer comedy moments ever.

FIRE

PROFIT!!

This video made me go check out the game.

For anyone interested, they're having trouble with the servers this weekend (September 19) so (being the nice folks that they are), rather than screw everybody, they're effectively having a "free weekend" until they get things fixed, so you can download it and play for free until whenever that is (they say probably Monday the 20th).

Very creative, very interesting game. I'll probably buy it when the servers come back online, though I'm not really sure I have the patience for it.

I think he learned about using brick next time.

BURN IT! BURN IT WITH... oh too late.

*howto fail.

This is so awesome. One of the best fails ever.

Adding video to channels (Howto) - requested by Krupo.

So this is a persistent world? i.e. no reloading?

If so, I feel for him. As I watch this, I can imagine that feeling in your stomach when you realise you've done something silly and lost hours of work.

That eventually happens anyway whne you realize you've spent countless person-hours building something virtual that has no value whatsoever.


I'M LOOKING AT YOU, DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!

I think it is. Whenever you hit the escape key to get to the menu the game says "Saving Level". Maybe if you alt-F4ed out without pressing escape you could revert.

I've been playing this game for the last two days straight, ever since hearing about the free-play period. It's really fun, but I haven't made anything like that. That was a nice house.
I'm going to go play with fire now.

Given how long stuff like that takes to do in the game, he took it pretty well. haha.

Same here, I understand the game has been "around" for about a year in some shape or form but it has been getting alot of attention lately but nobody can ever seem to describe what the hell it is properly. This video does that quite readily

Now im going to be torn over whether I want to play this or Civ V when it comes out tomorrow

more dots, more dots

Never heard of it before - is it similar to Second Life?

Started playing Minecraft today, and am already somewhat obsessed over my own house

Of course that just makes this video even funnier.

Omg that is crazy funny. I've never played the game though I've seen some very cool videos of what people have made on here. That looked like a sound fireplace to me, though yes perhaps that back wall should have been brick instead of wood.

Loved how the house just went up in flames in a matter of minutes and all the guy could say was 'oh crap' while he watched lol.

I was thinking the same. There's an earlier Java build here: http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp ... It's interesting.
