I love that game! It is so addicting. I am building a castle right now and plan to add a lodge onto it soon.

Lol, so what is this game? What is it about and what do you do? Is it on PC or what?

 

[Brent Heilman]

It's a PC game. Basically it is just a game where you can build just about anything that you can think of. It uses simple blocks, which I think are 1m cubes. So everything you build is to scale. There are some enemies in it but you can just avoid those. It's a really simple game but it is addicting.

There are some people that have built some amazing things.

Holy cow!...lol I thought the Titanic was awesome, but the Enterprise is crazy...lol I wonder what it is going to be like when they get the inside finished. How long does it take to create something like that?

Of course its still in progress, they're building the enterprise. To scale. Out of bricks. I mean, seriously, who does that? They'll probably never finish.

Though seriously good nerd cred for trying.

last i heard there were about 30-50 people working on it still. these people don't go outside. there's a term for these types of gamers... "poopsockers." they'll get it done.

Wow... thats disgusting. I'll never forget that.

There is a video that has been done on youtube of the interior. I know that the hangar bays are done, complete with shuttles. The bridge is also done. The video even shows working elevators using water. I haven't figured it out yet but would love to add the elevators to my castle. I am not one of those poopsockers but when I am not on this forum at work I am on minecraft. To answer any questions that may arise from that statement I have alot of free time at work.
