Minecraft is good and you should feel good
So! I've been playing Minecraft a whole lot recently, and I want to get other people interested in the game. Thusly, I have put together a tour of what I've built in the past week!
This is the first building I created. My home. It started as a crude little cube of dirt walls, but has since evolved into a thing of relative beauty.
On the right is the front door, and on the left is the side door! The ladder in the middle leads to the roof, for sweeping vista and/or creeper observation. The stairs on the left lead to floor B1!
Since our tour begins at night, let's go downstairs.
This is the basement! Not much in this area. The single cobblestone block in the wall denotes the basement level of 1.
And beneath that is B2! On the right is my furnace, currently being used to refine raw stone into clean stone blocks.
This continues down into B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, and...
B10, the bottom floor! This is level with the foot of the mountain I built my house on top of.
For the record, in case anyone was curious, my inventory there holds, from left to right: Iron sword, nothing, 23 torches, stone pickaxe, Flint & Steel, 64 dirt blocks, 19 glass blocks, 8 staircases, and another 4 dirt blocks.
The hole in the floor leads into a tight spiral staircase, which goes down until I couldn't dig down any further because I hit an underground magma lake.
The door here leads to a super-long tunnel leading in both directions!
The left branch leads into a mind-bogglingly huge network of natural underground caves, in which I have died more than once. There are dark things in the deep places of the Earth.
And the right side leads out into the open!
It's dawn now, but instead of exit here, I'll go back to the top.
This is my house from the outside! The cross on top is made out of cloth blocks, for extra style points, and the torches keep monsters from spawning too close to the house at night. Three trees grow around my hosue, and I periodically cut them down and replant them for lumber.
This is the view from on top of the house! Visible is a natural magma river, the huge frozen lake next to where I live, a couple cows, and a partially-finished construction project we'll take a closer look at later.
Out the side door of my house is this glass tunnel!
The tunnel goes around the lawn...
Down around the side of the mountain...
Past an old mineshaft I never got around to using extensively...
And connects with my sweet-ass glass tube bridge connecting two mountains.
Halfway across the bridge is this staircase down to ground level!
The green blob in the air is a strange artifact of the fact that Minecraft blocks, with a couple exceptions (sand and gravel), have no gravity. When I cut trees down, sometimes I leave the foliage just hanging around. I should either cut it down for saplings or burn it with my flint & steel...
At the other end of the bridge is the beginnings of my mighty castle!
On the left is a crafting block, which I use to build more complex tools and objects. I have one in my house, too.
Embedded in the floor to this room is a spiral mineshaft leading to the center of the world!
Okay, not really, but I did hit the unbreakable rock at the bottom of the map.
Floor 2 of the tower! There's a glass skylight in the ceiling, like in most of my buildings, and a forge built into the wall.
Here is the newest section of the castle. You can tell by the dirt floor that I'm not done with this room.
If I didn't have the skylight in here, the ground wouldn't be growing grass.
Here's the whole castle area viewed from the outside!
This is just one corner of the overall planned structure, which will have four outer towers and a majestic central building that reaches above the clouds.
No, I'm not even kidding.
Looking at some other stuff from around the area! This is a closeup of that magma river. You can see stone from where it came in contact with the lake and cooled.
Here's my B10 basement escape tunnel when viewed from the outside!
This is the next mountain over from my house/workshop, complete with a couple small naturally occuring floating bits. My plan with this mountain? Decapitate it, leaving a floating island for me to play on.
This is one of the game's countless daunting cave networks! As you can see from the torches inside, I've explored a bit of this one before.
And as our day ends, let's look at this awesome pyramid I built for no reason whatsoever, next to a sweet pixelated sunset!
I like the glow that the magma river gives off at night.
Good night, house! Good night, minecraft!
So yeah. I built all of that. By myself. The world is randomly generated. It's 8 times the size of the Earth, if you try to explore it all. This game fucking rules.

My first-favorite is from the same episode: "Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! THAT MAKES ME FEEL ANGRY!"

It does look cool, though. It's pretty much just build shit and fight monsters, right?
