OK, I'm officially too old, as I just don't get the appeal of Minecraft, but even I think that Britain rebuilds itself with 22 billion 'Minecraft' blocks[^] is amusing. Can people add themselves? Maybe build a little Tardis and move it around?

Imagine it äs digital Lego playing.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

I just started playing Minecraft with my 8 year old son, and it's kind of addicting building stuff. At least I have a reason to use the new tablet I just bought, instead of turning it into an electronic paper weight, like my other ones.
- S 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on! Code, follow, or get out of the way.

I guess I get the Lego reference, and I can see how that could be addictive. Thank you. I feel less old. Now the notion of building the UK in Lego/Minecraft seems even more neat for some reason.

Give it a decent go. I tried it for 5 mins, thought that it was mindless and gave up.I tried it again a few weeks later in survival mode - and was addicted for the next few months, just the idea of building something up I suppose. The map of Britain isn't up to much: the scale is wrong so 1 block (supposedly 1 cubic meter in game) seems to be roughly 100m x 100m on the horizontal plane real world, but the vertical scaling is nowhere near that. Go to the lake district and it look more like the Alps. That said, the thing was done by someone on placement with the OS, so a pretty cool project nonetheless.
