Today's Webtip: Let's Play Minecraft

the latest reason I'm not getting anything done.

This is probably old news for most gamers out there. Sorry if this is just too late to be interesting, but I feel compelled to share with all of the other more casual gamers out there.

It might even be interesting for a few non-gamers.

First off, Let's Play. This is a video format that, like so many things out there, seems to have found it's current popularity through the somethingawful.com site.

I din't discover them until I was forced to listen to countless episodes of a German Let's Play Minecraft series. Despite the hype around the game over the last year, I had actually been able to avoid that massive time suck. But the influence of an 11 year old can be a powerful thing, and I finally gave in, anxiously awaiting the latest update from Gronkh while experiencing first-hand the frustrations that could have led him to create this:

Since I am still working on catching up with the 450 some epidsodes of Let's Play Minecraft, while simultanesously dying and getting lost, I will refrain from posting a specific episode and just suggest you start at the beginning. It can be a bit annoying, but it might just grow on you...
