Man Spends 2 Years Building a Huge Mega City in MINECRAFT
I just don't have the patience or time for a game like Minecraft. My kids are addicted to it though, and it's cool seeing the things that they build. They're really quite imaginative. But here's a video that shows off an epic metropolis that was created in Minecraft by an art student named Duncan Parcells. He calls it "Titan City," and it's a city that any superhero would be proud to defend. It took him 4,5 million blocks and two years on an Xbox 360 to build. It's incredibly impressive. Parcells, who is obviously interested in interactive design, goes by the name of ColonialPuppet on Xbox Live. He eventually plans on moving the city into a PC version of the game. He explains,
"All the blocks were hand placed on the map since it's Xbox but I have over a dozen or so PC buildings set aside for when it's moved to PC for good and those collectively took like a couple hours with Minecraft edit. I guess the medium is part of the message in this case.
"The city once finished on Xbox, will be permanently moved to PC and made even larger."
You can see a ton of screenshots of the city he built right here if the video below isn't enough for you. Thanks to Gizmodo for the tip.
