Minecraft

Okay, I'm gonna geek out for a second. Minecraft is one of the most amazing games I have played in a fairly long time. I learnt of it about two months ago, and I since then my computer and I have been inseparable. It was created by this guy named "Notch" who develops this game out of Norway (I think) Anyhow, the graphics are terrible but the game is superb. It's really hard to explain it; the best description I could think of was this: virtual legos on crack. You build up your world and fight zombies and these little green things called "creepers." (Kinda like the old guys who follow you around on BART) When they get close to you the explode. On the right you'll see a little animated GIF with a creeper. It's really funny. Anyhow, the game is now in beta and you should all support the developer. He wrote this whole game from scratch and he's now sold 800,000 copies of the game at 15 euros apiece. I think he's due for early retirement. Anyhow, this game is an incredible programming feat. Below is a picture of my newest home. It's very bright and I'm quite proud of it.
