re: Minecraft creator buys ridiculous $70 million mansion in Beverly Hills

I agree. My 8 year old nephew was in town and was building all kinds of machines from the redstone circuits. He was learning relays, nor gates, and all kind of basic electronic flow, and schematic understandings. I thought it was awesome, at eight, I couldn't understand how a switch worked, then make a repeating switch using relays and such. There is a lot of stuff in the game.
Plus the games core is collecting resources to build things. The entire game is very educational. Then it also gives them adventure, and battles. It's a great game, because it's so many games, with an expansive universe.

I agree that it's one of the best games ever.
