Is it not obvious, you simpleton? You beat the seeds into submission with your MIGHTY FIST OF GLORIOUS STRENGTH and you tell the little ******* seeds what they'll grow into. This is known as the Chuck Norris gardening method.
Maybe because grass is the most common block you see unless you mine all day, and it is also one of the first blocks you see when you start playing the game.
Its a meme. Its an easily recognizable icon.
We see it so much we instantly associate it with minecraft.
Its just like any other icon (like macs :-( ): or windows or Mcdonalds golden arches)
You see it and think "minecraft"
I would say that this at least partially answers my inquiry. Thanks.
Seriously, it's half of the art on the forum page, it's the poll percentage bar, it's the MC forums favicon, it's the minecraft.net icon, and with all of this I'm surprised it hasn't become Minecraft's main menu background. Why?
Not that I dislike the use of grassy dirt everywhere (it IS an aesthetically pleasing block IMO), but I'm wondering why it's used for everything Minecraft. Practically anything in Minecraft is iconic due to the appearances, so I'm just curious as to why it's grassy dirt that's everywhere.
@roboticaustIf you attacked glass so as to break it then the clouds viewed through said glass would turn invisible, apparently. I never noticed myself, though, and had to look it up.I could, though, be wrong as it has been a while since I recall finding said information.
1) Ingot. I've heard some people say it as "een-gaht," but I always say "een-gut." I wonder if I'm alone there. :tongue.gif:
2) I always called them reeds until the cake update. Now I call them "reeds-dammit-sugar cane." I'm bad with changes.
3) Skeleton
4) I always called it gunpowder. Still do.
5) Bedrock.
6) Half-blocks. I call the stairs steps and use "stairs" in place of stairway/staircase.
7) Stone. I sometimes add in the "smooth" descriptor to differentiate, though.
8) Smelt. "I'm just smelting some ham!"
9) The former.
10) I use workbench to refer to the block and crafting table to refer to the crafting area. :tongue.gif:
On top of those:
I always called pork chops "ham." Pork chops don't look like ham does. :tongue.gif:
I still refer to planks as "wood" and the logs as "logs."
Though it's officially "glowstone," I still call it "lightstone."
It's going to be sick, and what about battlefield 3? No ea means none of these games.
First off, "sick" is not a positive adjective; secondly, I've yet to play any of the Dead Space series; thirdly, I can not appreciate online games such as most of the Battlefield series due to having a satellite ISP (I've never played a multiplayer without playing by myself with bots, and playing Battlefield with bots does not a fun time make). I could live just fine never hearing of those games again as they have no effect upon my gaming habits, except for perhaps digging a Dead Space 3-pack out of a bargain bin several years from now or picking up Battlefield 3 for ten bucks as Battlefield: Battlefield makes its big debut on the gaming scene, marking the fateful day when the gaming industry is literally out of ideas.
Games that feature EA's involvement seem to have a long-running tradition of various mixtures of over-hype, generic-ness, big promises, and cut content. EA does indeed release good games, though most are hyped to look simply epic when often we gamers receive less than what was promised.
....I realize that some of these points are attributed more to the sub-divisions and the development teams than anything else, but it just appears to be a trend throughout the entire EA family as a whole. I also am unforgiving at what has been done to the Command & Conquer series and shall be eternally bitter about it.
AAAAAAAANYWAY....
66. Notch confirms less-than-mature internet jokes about creepers by literally turning them into walking, exploding, green dildos.
Should it be implemented that torches burn out, I say it should only be after several in-game days (5-7 in-game days or so) so that our torches don't go out in too short of a time frame.
So am I the only 1 that listens to songs dedicated to minecraft on youtube...such as In Search of Diamonds, Dynamite and Minecraft Everyday (not sure if thats the name)
I would, but I am in an unfortunate situation worthy of day-long bitching-about. I'll just leave it at "I am unable to." T_T

These are epically awesome! I must praise how beautiful these structures are!

I suppose that does make sense.
I approve of this mathematical smart-assery.
I would say that this at least partially answers my inquiry. Thanks.
Yes, it does work well and yes, it was an artistic design choice. I'm just curious as to the rationale behind it.
