MINECRAFTING!*

Admire the beauty of pixelized landscapes on minecraft.net

Minecrafting is a professional online sport where you can build virtually anything out of blocks, or simply explore the surrounding landscape and other player's masterpieces.

Creativity is highly encouraged and respected by griefers.

Using your mouse and WASD for navigation, you can walk (or fly if you're pro) through land, water, or lava, and interact with other players via the Multiplayer option. The only thing that's pretty lacking in MC is that you can't smash the other guy's face in when they manipulate/mutate your piece of artistic architecture. Sorry.

Skydive, one of the servers, offers skydiving. Go figure.

I highly encourage you to engage in this extremely entertaining piece of Internet that will suck hours out of your productivity and force you dig really, really deep holes and perhaps make a castle/island/stairway into heaven that will inevitably be distorted/destroyed by some sadistic griefer. Happy Minecrafting!
