Hey, I'm an online gamer! That means I can put this on my resume! :D

Seriously though, that is quite an accomplishment for the nerd community. Maybe even as awesome as Release Something 2011 or IceyDay!

It reminds me of the TV show, Stargate Universe, where Eli the nerdy gamer figured out how to dial the stargate to an ancient spaceship in a far away galaxy from playing an online game. The respected college professor was never able to figure out that problem.

"The ingenuity of game players is a formidable force that, if properly directed, can be used to solve a wide range of scientific problems."

Gamer exploitation!

Of course, it's only really up your ally if your into ridiculously convoluted puzzles.  :P

I remember playing it a while ago, on a whim. Was too much for me.
Gave it another go when I heard of this, and found I had improved through lack of practice! ^_^

I can see minecraft players building the great cities of the future just by co-operating and piling dirt.

I am convinced of this and thus have started to express my impression of great architecture by shouting "I BUILT A 6x6 DIRT HOUSE TODAY".
