Hi. I'm new to minecraft, just having found it thru the beta announcement on boing-boing. I have to say I'm totally enthralled by the game. So far, this is the finest sandbox game I've ever seen, and I've been playing waaaay too much since I got it. I'm still figuring it all out, but the ability to do almost anything my imagination can conceive just amazes. One of these days I'll have to try a multiplayer game, but think I'd better learn solo for the time being. Too cool!
