@Potatoesization It's funny how you describe one of the most influential, popular, critically-acclaimed and successful games of the past couple of years as a "piece of shit".
@aawood The Elder Scrolls series has been around far longer than minecraft has and every game has been some of the most influencial and critically appraised games towards the RPG genre.
@Potatoesization I know, I own a couple of the series myself. My problem is with the Bethesda/Zenimax lawsuit, not the quality of Skyrim (which I'm sure is a fine game, I'm just not going to buy it). So now, back to your thoughts about Minecraft...
@Potatoesization Ahh. What we have here is a case of not-knowing-the-story-itis. Bethesda/Zenimax launched a lawsuit against Mojang (the developers of Minecraft) because their new game is going to be called "Scrolls", on account of them owning a trademark on "The Elder Scrolls". And then followed up with the suit after Mojang made some very reasonable counter-arguments. So far, B/Z are losing, because trying to claim no-one can ever use the word "Scrolls" ever again except you is, well, dumb.
@aawood I apologise, after actually giving minecraft a go (and not just watch a friend playing and me having no idea what he was doing) it is actually quite a good game. I like the idea of survival mode and having to find reasonable shelter for the night, so you don't die.
@foxtrotHQ Yeah, I was trying to think up a way, possible I should have scouted out a good place to put the portal first. I was expecting great open oceans of lava all around to instantly toss the disk into... and instead I spend a minute running around before placing it neatly in a warm puddle. Ah well ^_^
It's funny how you try to bag out Skyrim whilst using a piece of shit game.

@aawood why do you not like Bethesda and Zenimax working together, what's the problem with that?

Funny, but it could have been a little more subtle.
