I started playing it with two friends but then they weren't very active and now I'm all by myself, wasting time... doing nothing. As fun as Minecraft is, it's pretty damn boring if you are playing it all by yourself. But then again, this can be said about most games.
I played it for about ten minutes, but I don't really see all the fuss. Personally I have a hard time sticking to a game where I'm not earning XP or solving logic puzzles(<3 hexcells). It's nice to see an indie developer make it big though.
Oh, hey there Minecrafter. My sister's boyfriend is obsessed with Herobrine. He thinks that it really exists and everything. It's actually kinda weird to watch him talk about it.
The game is actually more fun when you play it with someone else or on a server. It actually gets fun when you figure out potion brewing and enchantments in single player. I think the best thing people did with it is make a hunger games arena on their multiplayer servers though. I don't know about Herobrine. It may or may not exist lol. But yeah, I can see why people would look into it a lot.
