Minecraft

Minecraft has swept the world over as one of the best indie games of all time. (Indie means independent, which means they have no outside funding and usually self-publish their games).

For those not in "the know", Minecraft is a sandbox game that lets you do just about anything to the world you're given. You can battle monsters, make giant craters, or build a scrawling utopia. Minecraft has no set goals. You're given an almost infinite world, mechanics to build tools and items, and the freedom to do or build anything. The only limit is your imagination (and patience; without outside manipulation, you can only place one block at a time. Kind of like Legos).

My friends and I have a multiplayer server we play on somewhat frequently. This means we can ban together to conquer the world, or fight amongst ourselves and destroy the world. Usually we choose the former. The following video is us doing the latter, from my perspective.
