I saw a couple penny arcade comics on it and was thinking it sounded fun that I better check it out. Boy was I not disapointed. Seems like sometime around September 2010.
i first heard about it from my dad whos a programmer in the summer of 2010. his coworkers would -not- stop talking about it. i didnt actually get it untill a few days after the halloween update, though. now all of us are addicted.
at school we went to the computer lab and my friend started playing the classic version right next to me and he gave me the address to the site right after the Halloween update

im having a bad day...
dont make it because of you
I read about it in some gaming magazine while I was at the airport in April 2010. Then I bought it by the end of June 2010 (purchase number 21 thousand and something). It's amazing how over 1.4 million have bought it since then. I'm happy for notch, he struck gold with this.

A looong time ago there was a video on youtube about some "Roblox ripoff" or something. It was called minecraft and basically, I saw a guy dig into the earth, and there was this green dude with his arms out down there. I don't think there was any sound. I was immature back then so I dismissed it as a crappy game and continued playing roblox.
Soon I saw X's let's play and watched LPs for a month or two before getting it myself.
A few months before Beta, I saw one of Seananner's vids
Yeah, Seananners first three vids hooked me. I figured I had better drop the 14 bucks and buy the game rather than watch him play the whole thing for hours. Early December, right before i found this place...

Friends at skill center played classic in browsers (while it wasn't blocked) it quickly swept through our class.(blacklisted in a week ill have you know!!) A pirated version was on everyones flashdrive. I got a pirated version but I knew I must have MORE!!! More than something illegal lol. Some kids told me to buy it. It was hassle since my dad and mom didnt wanna buy through paypal but my dad got it through gift codes. I have loved it ever since...

Well I'm just an old fart here...like 500 years in internet time.
Late Nov or early Dec 2010
Not sure which, but my friend told me about it, I checked out some gameplay videos of it and isntanly thought it looked awesome. Same friend also bought it for me sometime before Christmas (and I've loved it ever since X3)
I've become so Numb, I can't feel you there;
Become so tired, so much more aware;
I'm becoming this, all I want to do;
Is be more like me, and be less like you.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
It wasn't until late December 2010 did I decide to buy it, and January 2011 when I finally did.
Part of the crowd that supposedly ruined the forums forever.
Prepare to get Brunched in the face!
