I don't know how to explain it. Like Oblivion merged with the world of the original Mario's.

All I know is that a game must be good if the first day you play it (played it coop with fiance), it encompasses the entirety of your dreams that night, even though you had no intention of that occurring.

It's in and out for me. ...I'm wondering if Penny Arcade mentioning (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/9/17/) it (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/9/20/) may have given them a bit too much free publicity for their servers to handle.

Damn I thought it was free. Screw paying.

[NightrainSrt4]

There are free versions, just not alpha.

I'm a bit disappointed that there are so many things in SMP that don't work correctly. Exploring and building is still fun though.

Here is probably one of the best youtube videos I've come across explaining the game. Sweet video.

That is pretty cool. I haven't played around with the logic capabilities, as the server doesn't seem to update the state of things very well in the multiplayer.
