That's right, the PC version of Minecraft has surpassed 10 million sales! Minecraft as a game continues to have a phenomenal level of success, with humble beginnings in the hands of Mojang founding member Markus "Notch" Persson, and growing over a period of years into one of the most successful indie game titles in gaming history, spanning PC, console, and handheld systems in record numbers. In addition, the recent changes to Minecraft in 1.5 - and future changes planned the game, including Mod API support, more adventure map options, and all sorts of customization options - Mojang continues to push the game to new heights, even as they get involved in the community, with everything from direct-feedback bug fixing to real-life renewal projects. With the recent TU9 update, MCX360 is hot on the PC version's heels, even as it introduces special goodies unique to XBLA gamers.
As promised by Jeb, a secret was revealed about 1.6, a feature many were looking forward to! What feature? Well...
Spoiler: It isn't pink withers!
So you HAVE heard they're putting robots, sniper rifles, unicorns and rainbows in the game?
It's the image from the April Fool's Day post. Everything on it is subject to skepticism.
Honestly i didnt even know minecraft was an indie game
These people are obviously all wrong, of course, because we're clearly getting spikes!
Why?
Because this picture shows a horse. And horse is a word spelled with 2 vowels and 3 consonants. And 2 times 3 is 6. And 6 inches is half a foot. And if you took of half of a foot, it would be like a dissection. And Dissection was a band formed in 1989. And 1989 was the year of the first Brazilian presidential elections in 29 years. And day 29 of the month of February can only occur in a leap year. And Leap Year was a 2010 film. And 2010 is 3 years from when this topic was posted. And 3 squared is 9. And there are 9 squares on a Tic-Tac-Toe board. And the initials of Tic-Tac-Toe are TTT. And TTT can stand for The Temper Trap. And The Temper Trap was an Australian indie rock band. And an iconic symbol of Australia is the koala. And the koala's specific name, cinereus, is Latin for ash-colored. And Ash Ketchum's starter Pokémon is Pikachu. And Pikachu's Pokédex number is 25. And 25 is the atomic number of manganese. And manganese is designated by the symbol Mn. And Mn stands for Minnesota. And the capital of Minnesota is Saint Paul. And the Area code for Saint Paul is 651. And 651 is a nonagonal number. And Nonagon is a song by They Might Be Giants. And They Might Be Giants has an album named Apollo 18. And the Apollo missions were flown by NASA. And NASA's headquarters are in Washington D.C. And the Area Code for Washington D.C. is 202. And the Pokédex number for Wobbuffet is 202. And Wobbuffet is in the same egg group as Gallade. And Gallade is a psychic and fighting type. And Mankey is also a fighting type Pokémon. And dart monkeys are the main characters of the Bloons series. And a tower in Bloons Tower Defense is a tack shooter. And tacks are a type of nail. And spikes are also a type of nail. And that's why spikes are being added to Minecraft.
