Mine craft Phone Wallpaper Biography

Due to the way Minecraft was created with a long beta stage that was, for the most part, entirely live and public, a good percentage of the long-term players observed as the game grew and expanded around them -- and they are still playing it, which says a lot about the game. In order to cover as much of last year's E3 as we could I took an intern with me (that is unusual) but it worked out very well, so it will likely be repeated -- the point to that comment is that the top of the Intern's notebook PC has a large Creeper face sticker affixed to it -- and during lunch on the first day after we set up at our table in the media lounge over the course of 45 minutes no fewer than eight different people or groups stopped to chat about Minecraft.

After I admitted that I did not play the game (at that point I had yet to try it) and pointing them at the Intern I naturally ended up taking part in some of the conversations -- though I suspect that I was being tolerated more so than contributing if you see what I mean? I did more listneing than talking, and by the fourth or fifth visitor my curiosity was fully engaged, so when the next pair of Minecrafters stopped at the table to compliment the notebook sticker I asked "What the hell is Minecraft?!"

"An intensely popular game" was one of the ways that my question was answered - and it soon became very obvious that Minecraft is, from a cultural point-of-view, this generation's Magic the Gathering. Now hold on, some of you are going to protest, others will point out that you cannot compare a cool game like Minecraft in which you build worlds to a card game... True but not so much, because that is not what I mean by the observation.

If you are too young to remember it, Magic the Gathering (MtG) took the gaming world by storm in the early 1990's and almost instantly hijacked a place in both geek culture and in popular culture. There were jokes about the game on TV shows that, if you did not play the game you could not possibly understand, and people laughed. At one games expo we saw more MtG T-Shirts being worn than game shirts from video games -- and that says something!

At the height of its popularity MtG had cards that were valued in the hundred of dollars -- each -- but that value was based on the fact that they were first-edition cards and the first edition of the game had a very small press-run compared to the sequel versions. I personally know someone who ended up paying for all four years of their daughter's tuition at UMass by selling their collection of Magic cards, and I have personally been yelled at for using a first edition card in a deck (mostly I did not realize it WAS a first edition card, but still, it is a game card, you are supposed to play with them, right?

Fortunately Minecraft is a computer game, so there is no glass ceiling under which players with less disposable income are trapped by players who can afford to build the best deck ever. In fact that only possible status symbol I can think of beyond having a seriously kick-ass gaming rig would be to run your own Minecraft SMP server...

But that is not the important thing and we are losing the trail here through digressing -- the point to all of this is that in its short few years Minecraft has penetrated both Geek Culture and Popular Culture as deep as -- and perhaps in some ways deeper than -- Magic ever did, and that is a very profound accomplishment when you consider that at one time MtG was commonly known as "flat Crack!"

References to the game are showing up in TV shows, comics, and even fiction books whose characters play the game. It has arrived -- it needs a publicist! It has become a character in its own right!
