Man makes working computer in Minecraft. I shit self.
" dude needs to get laid "
Ever noticed how, whenever somebody spends their time doing anything, somebody thinks they need to get laid? It never fails.
It's a kinda cool computer thing, although computers don't get my motor going.
Here's the logical conclusion of this: http://xkcd.com/505/Yes, I was hoping someone would post that exact response.
Ugh, this is the kind of thing that makes me depressed for humanity. Even the fairly smart people are wasting their time doing things of profound unimportance. I guess it just goes to show, it's one thing to be smart or have a talent, it's another to know how to use that to your advantage and make the most of it.

" He should have taken an isometric screenshot. "its in survival mode so that would be kinda tough to do. but he could easily make a cartographer screenshot.
Dude he just spent his spare time doing this. While i am clearing out near by mountains, building an elaborate minecart system when i have time, this guy is building an ALU. I wish i had the knowledge to do this, because i would. I just started learning about the stuff in intro to programming class and watching this is making me excited and wanting to try it. If you interested in this stuff, its actually fun to do." Ugh, this is the kind of thing that makes me depressed for humanity.

" I dont get it. Like.. How does it work? I thought Minecraft was just building with virtual blocks. Color me confused. "You got a 1 or a 0. There are these little things that if you put two binary numbers in, you get one out. You just get more and more of those little things, making more complex circuitry, and eventually you have a computer.
Something like that anyway. I dunno.
" I dont get it. Like.. How does it work? I thought Minecraft was just building with virtual blocks. Color me confused. "Redstone. It allows you to create circuits, and you can make them pretty damn complex if you want.

Yeah, you're right of course. We should insult people who enjoy themselves playing a game on a games forums which is hosted on a gaming site which is famous for a gaming podcast. Totally makes sense, because games are not about self gratification at all. No, self gratification is derived solely from non-sensically insulting people." @SeriouslyNow said:

" soooo... what happens if an update gets released that will fuck up all your saves? "That's a risk you take when you play a game while it's still in active development. If you're really concerned about this, wait until release.
The guy got a job offer because of this

" I like how half way in his explanation he, very nonchalant, starts stabbing a pig with a torch. "That's what Minecraft is all about, pigstabbing with a variety of objects.
I just assumed it would be a porn site....... if he actually got offered a job from them that would be cool.
It seems those guys probably profit a lot more by offering the dude a job than anything else (in that they're getting people to view their website). The skill crossover, talent, and prestige of the Minecraft video and the flash game makers are completely disparate.
Why do my job offers come into this? I'm a writer not a web game designer. Why are you so defensive about what this guy has done?
Anyways, I know enough about what you're about that I should dismiss your opinion offhand, but I think you should stop worrying about what other people think of other people.
