People are astonishing

Two amazing examples of how videogames allow creativity to flourish surfaced recently. They're also examples of just how insane people can be.

First is a recreation of the city of King's Landing from Game of Thrones. @Polygon reports that 100 builders worked for 4 months to hand-build the city in Minecraft. 


The results are beautiful.

And a few days ago, news emerged of a battle that erupted in Eve Online when a ship accidentally jumped into enemy territory. @testedcom reported losses of $17,000 in real-world money as a result of the miss-step. The first couple of minutes of this video, showing the 3000 player battle, is worth a look.
