Minecraft
I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for this amazing game! It's basically a massive block game where you can harvest and mine the world for resources and then build whatever the hell you want with your friends. If you're very technical you can even make rail-cart systems or massive programmable boards of scrolling text, though the last one is very hard to do. The game is also incredibly famous for the pixel art people create within the game. Anyhow, look some pictures up if you're interested! There are some incredibly astounding projects people have done in the game, and everyone is always happy to show off! By the way, if you do play you might want to join a private or moderated server, some servers get trolled and things are destroyed : P

Ya know, we should get our own server someday.

Re: Minecraft
Given how easy it is for almost all computers to run, it'd be fairly cheap to get or rent a server for the game. It's still in beta, but the whole world treats it as a fully released game. There's plenty of texture packs and mods to change the game, too! : D
Did I mention that there's dynamite? It's a pain to create, but you can cheat it... and they sure destroy a lot when they go off O_O

Re: Minecraft
Dude, do me a favor and get me a list of cheap rentable servers.
A 'free city' is sure to bring in the masses.

Re: Minecraft
Honestly, I'm not to best person to ask about servers, since I've never run one myself, but this is the host my friends and I use: http://servercraft.co/pricing/I don't know if it's the best hosting site out there, but $30 a month for a 16-person server seems pretty good to me. My friend is usually pretty good at doing her research, so I wouldn't doubt that this is one of the cheaper hosts out there. I heard their customer service isn't amazing though, she once tried to get them to organize the folders on the server and gave them step-by-step instructions.... the result was them placing a new folder onto the server and leaving it like that. Overall we haven't had any problems with the server though, and it has been running for quite a few months now. I have a tiny wooden city beside a lake, and above the lake is a windmill on a floating island.

Re: Minecraft
Heh, frightfully similar. I'd get a screenshot if I weren't about to leave for work! One of my friends made a MASSIVE hidden underground room that has a small forest growing inside of it. They also recently built an arena with a working portcullis... thing is huge. I might want to add that there's no server browser in the game though, or at least none that I'm aware of, so it wouldn't really advertise the forums too much, it'd mostly be members of the forums going to use the server.

Good call on this topic, as soon as I saw the name I almost face palmed.
We should definitely get something going.

Re: Minecraft
Bleh, I wish I could post a screenshot, but apparently my friend did something to the server since the last time I was on. I'm totally lost on the map now. I was so proud of the thing too! Took me ages to mine enough wood and punch enough sheep to get the wool for the spinny thing. Anyhow, a Minecraft server here would be wonderful! Would we actually play survival, or just fly around doing whatever? : P

Re: Minecraft
I'm thinking an anarchistic FH City.
Ever played FHRPG?
