I'd be up for that.

Tee Emm Eh! Tee Emm Eh! Tee Emm Eh!

I just started up on VanillaCraft about a week ago (haven't done much yet). Last server I was on shut down without warning (the third one in as many months). As for VanillaCraft, It's okay so far, though the server reboots on the hour every hour, which is a bit odd.

Star Wars/Glee crossover? A few months ago that would have been unfathomable. Not anymore. Thanks Star Wars Kinect.

Or two guys who are confident that this has a snow ball's chance of successfully getting funded, and are doing it to troll him by feigning interest.

What really convinced me to contribute was the update with the character designs.

To continue the derailing of the 0x10c OP. I've never been able to get into creative mode Minecraft. Without the survival restrictions I don't see the point. If I wanted to just build something I'd fire up a world editor and build/model with a better tool set instead of flying around in creative mode. I guess it depends on what you derive your enjoyment from. Making/Crafting something, or the end product. Personally the closer something is to being done the less interested I become. (Which has been a demon I've had to battle my entire professional life.) I'd rather travel two days to the nearest desert, haul stacks of sand back, build an array of furnaces, stock them with fuel, cook the sand, then climb to the top of my creation, dangle precariously on a one block wide dirt scaffold, and place the last blocks of that giant glass dome I've been working on all week. All while fighting off aggressive mobs, and a keeping yourself from starving to death. Or.. Fly around for ten minutes placing glass blocks selected from a menu. Or.. Open a menu select hemisphere, type in a radius, select glass, and click. Seriously which is more satisfying? There is also way more satisfaction in showing off your giant stone brick castle to your friend, and then showing them the equally giant quarry or strip mine where you got all the stone from. Get'er back on track... As for 0X10c. I hope the virtual computer element ends up being that game's equivalent to Minecraft's redstone circuitry. In Minecraft I can put together simple circuits (multi-piston doors, mob killing machines, etc..), but leagues away from making a giant working calculator with LCD screen. Regardless redstone is never a necessity to successfully survive and thrive in Minecraft. So here's hoping it won't be required to operate your spacecraft (I'd probably enjoy running around frantically turning things on and off manually, instead of running a program/script), and if it is, I hope it remains somewhat approachable for the un-initiated (My first ship ... the USS Hello World).

As a pixel pusher, I just hope I'm not shut out of high level play by not being able to program the in-game computer. Though I'm sure people will make code/scripts readily available online. Minecraft had something for everybody. Hopefully this does as well. Very curious about it.

My first game system was the Gemini Video Game System (Coleco's Atari 2600 clone) Thanks to my pinball, and arcade loving mom. We had two splitters and four Gemini controllers (Joystick/Paddle combo). Games (alphabetical order) Breakout, Defender, Demon Attack, Warlords, Yars' Revenge. Highlights Achievement Get! Surviving through Stage 99 of Defender, and end up at Stage 01 again. The first game I "beat". Most fun. Playing 4 player Warlords with my parents and my sister. Most frustrating. Nobody was able to beat my mom at Breakout. Untouchable.
