Evan Almighty and His Toy Collection

I've never seen the attraction of Minecraft, a nephew of mine got into it recently, but to me all it looks like is a simplistic ZX Spectrum game from the 80's. Just think of all that PC or console power being expended to display a pixelated low definition game lol!

Sometimes simple is good. If a game is really fun, and the graphics are low-poly, low-def, and low-quality, it's still worth it. The only thing that should really matter in terms of graphics in a game that is shown off for gameplay is that you know the difference between things.
Although, any Minecraft modpack seems to take up at least 5 times more everything to not run at 1 FPS. (They're fun and free tho)

I don't know why, but some modmakers seem to be on a mission to crash peoples' computers.. Some mods like Mo' Creatures and Divine RPG Craft have mobs (basically, enemies/monsters) with models that look more at home on PS3.

However, the charm of Minecraft really lies in its variety. Feeling adventurous? Roam a new world and sightsee for hours and hours (Minecraft worlds generate infinitely as you explore them more). Brave? Try survival mode, where you can build a shelter and fend off hordes of zombies, skeleton archers, teleporting endermen, and exploding creepers, while in the day time, you can mine for the rare diamonds or gather materials to make your home bigger and better.
Creative? Creative mode lets you build whatever you want with any block in the game, and all of the monsters that spawn ignore you so you can work in peace. Bored of all of that? Download a few mods to spice things up a bit, like The Aether, which adds a whole new dimension made of islands in the sky, or Minecraft Comes Alive, which lets you interact with NPC Villagers more realistically, and you can even get married and have kids.

Don't even get me started on all of the Towny/Economy and minigame servers.

Lets get back on topic fellows and that Evans and AC's fantastic layouts. If you would like to continue a discussion on games might I suggest a more appropriate Forum.

Sorry super, couldn't help when the dreaded thing was mentioned

All good guys!

I started it. No harm no foul
I will definitely mention what is Evan is up to on this thread.

Don't make me post his Ride on Motorcycle

Our haul this week:
Takara Tomy Plarail Disney Pixar Dream Railway Monsters Scarer Train
Also another set of double platform station (in the vid) total of 3 now and another Amtrak car.

Very cool. He is pretty fast which makes that wagon shake the scare out of those cans. The double stations look good. How many more do you plan on getting, ten, 20 maybe?

Oops forgot about this.
Tomica Carrying Case Gas and Parking Station.
Thought it was neat. Addition to Evan's bedroom.

I have never seen or heard of that Tomica Carry Case. Is it a relatively new item or vintage?

That's neat. Wish I had one.
