is a good one idea. This guy is a role model.

[BYE]

Ideas are good but probably only like 1% of it.

The game is pretty good but I kind of see him as a one hit wonder honestly.

[Kewl_Kat]

the guy hasn't even made another game, and you already see him as a one hit wonder?

[grailly]

He developed a few flash games for the site he used to work for, look it up, they were not genius.

Imo, even if he only does Minecraft, it's good enough for me, as long as he keeps putting on new content.(water mobs and maybe paint coming in next patch)

This guy needs to bow down and thank seananners because the game picked up around the time Adam started....
