donno if anybody plays it but thats not importent. basicly when you load a world it generates it randomly. since it generates a "flat" worls i wanted to reach the edge of it so i started walking while watching TV. after 4 episodes of criminal minds i got board and googled to see if it was possible to find the edge, just wanted to share the shear size of this game

the world generated is 3.24E32 blocks

edit: generates the world as you play so obviously nobody would ever reach these extremes

each block represents 1 cubic meeter.
this is a world 36 165 times larger than the earth. to put that in prespective the sun is only 11 990
given the speed the charecter in the game walks it would take 13.6years to walk from the center of the map to the edge.

now hears the cool part,
assumeing each block represents 1 byte of data
it would take 65536 yottabytes (024 gigabytes, a petabyte is 1024 terabytes, an exabyte is 1024 petabytes, a zettabyte is 1024 exabytes, and a yottabyte is 1024 zettabytes)
inorder to store this whole wolrd it would take 72,057,594,037,927,936 1TB HDDs wich if lined up end to end would be just over 1 light year long.

i think this qualifyes as the bigest game ever made?

I talked to the peeps about hosting it, but its bandwidth isn't optimized, so it would shoot us over the top..

 

[iSeize]

i would say thats unnecessarily big. i couldnt even make full use of the blank level in Gmod

 

[HooB.wg]

minecraft..its a extremly dated looking, yet apparently addictive sandbox game. youtube it. it looks kinda weak, yet kinda cool.

 

[Hinouchi]

looks very interesting, reminds me of second life where you can pretty much create everything. $10euro for the game $20 when it gets to beta.

i cant definitely see how it is addictive, i toyed around with it at a buddies house this weekend, apparantly theres a crafting system that works pretty cool. you take wood and stone and depending on how you arrange it, you can make a shovel, pickaxe, hoe, etc. then you use the tools to start mining minerals and you can smelt them down into stronger materials. interesting system, but im not getting ahead of myself getting into the game. it takes forever and a day to do anything, because its all just one block at a time. and you have limited materials. I can certainly see why the game is already so successful.

Its cool to see what people can do when they can do anything, but ill leave that to the people who have nothing but time to do it.

mine till you find diamond, make diamond tools. keep mining for more diamond. don't die from zombies!

 

[wh1te]

So theres no auction house? Efff farming

 

[Hinouchi]

So what happen if you get pwned by monster? you start all over again?

 

[iSeize]

yea i think so. i just walled myself in at night

 

[wh1te]

Irl?

 

[thomastronics]

I'm not even going give this game my time.
Much rather watch Martha Speaks.

I played the free version, pretty boring, but hte azn's in the office fall all over the game (they want me to host a server). But then again, they're weird

in multiplayer you can dupe stuff in the chests.

I've been dupin tnt and diamond tools w/e we need in bulk . Poster and I went on a TnT rampage and blew the fuck out of everything, started a huge fucking forest fire that will not stop XD, built a siiick fuckin castle and then the deku tree. then lit that on fire and now we just finished throwing bombs off our flying castle into our pit of doom. It reminds me of what Gannondorf did to Hyrule castle from Ocarina of Time XD
