    Ah, Minecraft. How you have taken over my life in just a few short weeks is astonishing. Just...one...more...block!

    Great guide, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with the order of importance of things you have. Personally, I worry less about a nice wooden home the first night and focus on punching enough trees and digging enough cobblestone to make charcoal and then charcoal torches. After that, I dig myself a little hole in a mountain, fill the temporary home with torches, leave a 1x1 block at the entrance for viewing, and wait out the night. At night, your biggest ally is light, and you do not want to be caught without torches. Just my .02.

    NIce Nice Nice. I really want this game. I have spent way too much time watching lets play videos of people playing minecraft.

    Sure Skeletons Creepers and Spider's may be scary. But you have never been truly terrified until you meet... Herobrine. OMG HE'S RIGHT BEHIND ME

    wow an Aldous Huxley reference AND a Led Zeppepelin reference; props, you deserve a medal

    Nice guide for beginners, when I started I also made a floating castle hours in the sky haha. I learned all my Minecraft knowledge from "the Yogscast" videos on Youtube, their channel is called "BlueXephos." I recommend their Multiplayer survival series-very funny. Sorry if that sounded like spam lol.

    Page 2 paragraph 3: You do not get stone blocks from mining stone, you get cobblestone.
