Heh. There's an entire web series sort of based on that exact concept. It's a good show whether you play Minecraft of not, really. Although there are probably a few bits you have to play to understand completely.

How long as hunger been a thing in Minecraft? seems like they added a lot on since I've tried it last.

Hunger was added on September 15, 2011.
Yes, there have been a few changes in nearly three years. :p

I play Minecraft quite a bit on Xbox.
I like mining. It's repetitive, but kind of soothing.

Does anyone know if it is Microsoft-kosher to put custom maps on your xbox?
My kid asked me to do it, so I got him a thumb drive and started looking up how to do it and found some maps yaddah yaddah (involved moving his xbox profile onto the thumb drive and running it through a 3rd party app on the PC... hmmm), and at one point read, "Be careful because Microsoft monitors for this stuff." So, does Microsoft allow modded maps on the xbox? If so, is there an official way they want it done?

Microsoft in talks to buy Mojang.
Minecraft will probably become an X-Box One exclusive...

No way. There's just no way. Notch wouldn't go for that unless he is quitting and looking to get out. And even then it's unlikely that he would sell to Microsoft.
Not all rumors are true.

Rumor might be true...
Microsoft has a LOT of money to entice people. Life changing money. Life changing money for people who are already rich.
If he does sell to them, and MS is smart...I know...they should immediately offer Minecraft free on MS Surfaces.

If and when the deal goes through, it's expected that Notch will assist with the transition but won't stay with the company beyond that.
Ah. Okay, as I had said that's the only way I could see this even being slightly possible.
He's ready to get out.
Still I'm surprised it's Microsoft of all companies. I thought their history wasn't a very good one.

I've got some very negative feelings towards how Microsoft does business, but I'd go with them over Apple every day of the week.
Just because you're pissed at someone doesn't mean you don't do business with them.

I think the time is right to cash in on the Minecraft thing. I'd call him insane if he didn't sell out before too long.

I actually remember when it was fledgling, too, and I have never forgotten the PC Gamer article talking about how someone made a working CPU in the game with that red stone. Always thought that was neat.

Interesting. I'm a little sad to see him go, but he's certainly doing the right thing from the sound of it.
If I ever accidentally make something that seems to gain traction, I’ll probably abandon it immediately.
That part I hope is just a joke. I'm still going to pay attention to his projects and see what he comes up with next.
I still find it hard to believe he sold to Microsoft of all companies, though. Wow.
At least it's not EA, I guess.
