minecraft is pretty much the best game ever made

[Seamonk]

Sorry for the uber bump...but I was not expecting to find a thread on this game.

Haven't read any of the posts, but yes this is the best game ever made hands down. Found out about this game in February by jumping from video to video on youtube when I landed on the channel BlueXephos and I was hooked. Otherwise known as the Yogscast. I highly recommend their videos.

hahahaha that was hilarious.

Yea there have been days where all I've watched were Minecraft videos. Yogscast got about almost 100 videos and I've seen them all at least 5 times each.

I want to play this

[tarheelblue89]

I highly highly recommend it. Got most of my friends to buy it.

[Kurb]

Will you teach Kurbs to minecrafts ?

Can you use paypal to buy ?

[tarheelblue89]

I would be honored to teach you the ways of Minecraft.

Ummm I wanna say yes you can, but not 100% certain.

Well I DL'ed it .

My laptop is to shitty to run it without system lag.

My desktop doesn't have openGL and I have no earthly idea how to get the right driver on my graphics card.

Yeah i wouldn't run it on a laptop. I tried on my cousin's new thinkpad and the temps reached around 88C. There's ways to tone down some of the unnecessary video features.

For example You don't need.. Smooth lighting, openGL, video bobbing, and it DOES help if you play in windowed mode. I lag like a mofo when i full screen. So yeah, you can disable openGL from the get go.. openGL was JUST recently added too.

as for your Drivers Kurb, you have to goto the amd website for ATi drivers now.

I dunno if this is yours or not, but worth trying with a system restore point. set beforehand.

This is what I am getting.

Bad video card drivers!

-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.

This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

Not sure how to help Kurb. The only thing I can suggest is to turn the Render Distance down to Short or Tiny. Works for my laptop, experience some lag every now and then but it's doable.

[Kurb]

Welp new update made it run better.

Rdy to Plys.

Who is taking me in!?
