Default Minecraft...

My whole family is addicted to it. (Okay, maybe not the baby... but still!) I don't really get it, though.

Me ---->

Is your family totally addicted to this game? It's all my kids ever want to talk about. We actually had to put them on a video game diet once they started playing this one... LOL!

My son is ate up with it. Like you.........I am really having to limit his time because he is totally obsessed. He even has his grandpa (my dad) playing with him. It is pretty comical.

I've been wanting to know or learn more about this game because my son really wants it. He talks about with friends at school, well they talk to him about it, and he's also played it at birthday parties.

I'd like to see my mom get into this. LOL! She was swimming in a sea of Pokemon trivia last week when she came over. She looked a little lost. And the thought of my dad playing really cracks me up--I'm sure that's a hoot, Tara!

My kids AND husband love it to pieces. I think it's stupid.

Yari, it's basically Legos.

My kids play it. It was weird that Avery started liking it IMO.

My neices have it! When we get together with them they all play this game. The obsession is EXACTLY why we haven't bought it.

We haven't got it yet for the kids, Ava is currently obsessed with "Math Blaster" on the computer. My kids definitely have my obsessive personality!

Well, I LOVE Minecraft and have probably played it for a couple of years with friends online now.

My kids got their own minecraft server for Christmas so that the three of them could build together and they absolutely LOVE it. I think its one of my favorite games for kids because it encourages creativity and cooperation. Building and working on projects together has brought them closer together.

It's a wonderful game.

YES! My kids are obsessed with it! My oldest even connects with his friend over the server and they play each other over the net. Its quite ridiculous how addicted they are.

My boys live and breathe Minecraft.
They have it on their laptops (hand-me-downs from Dad's office), on their Kindle Fires, and now with their friends on the new Xbox. They have their own server, read the Minecraft Wiki, and find Youtube videos. They would spend every breathing minute playing the game if I let them. I was lucky enough to find Minecraft Tshirts at Old Navy to give them at Christmas.

I'm planning on making a Minecraft inspired kit soon because it is EVERYWHERE here.

Here's a parady that also shows what Minecraft is all about:

They've also made their own tutorial videos and want me to build them a website.....

My son was so happy when we found this pixelated looking hoodie at Target. He calls it his Minecraft hoodie. LOL!

My kid have been playing on the computer for years, but OMG when we first got it on the xbox I could not stop playing!! Something about mining for gems that I just couldn't resist - I had to seriously quit it cold turkey, so I don't start playing much anymore because i'm afraid! LOL

It is fun that the family can play it together though <3

My boys have been playing it for a while now. About a year. They are completely addicted to it and I don't get it.

My boys love it. Their friends love it. It's all they talk about. They pretty much spend the hour before and the hour after dinner playing it with their friends. They watch You Tube videos about it and spinoffs like a Minecraft Ghosthunters thing. They play HD Craft & the Hunger Games & other Minecraft variants. They are always building & selling houses and running skin contests.

I don't get it specifically but I have been that into other games so I do get the obsession.

I refused to put it on my phone or kindle because they are *mine* and *I* don't play minecraft
