Minecraft Player Spends 232 Hours Building Apple Campus 2

[Bigsk8r]

232 hours IS a lot of time. But if you break it down, it's only 4.5 hours a week over the course of a year. I KNOW many of us waste more time than that doing trivial things.

Exactly. And more likely than not, he got a bug and poured hours in at the beginning, then has taken a few hours a week - if that - to tweak it as updates come. I know I waste more time on a few different websites (this being one) than he does on that project.

Do you think there will be any pokéstops and gyms inside Apple's new campus?

With the average (non-Apple employee) players luck, there will be a major Dratini or Snorlax spawn inside the ring!

Imagine what he could have done if he had put his skills to good use.

You don't know the guy nor how he lives.
He could well be unemployed, retired, has plenty of money so he does not have to work, disabled .....or other reasons.

I take my hat of for this.

I think he meant that binge-watching the entire series of Breaking Bad would have been just as productive.

Time well spent

/s

Haters gonna hate.

the same thing could be said about the people that posted in the 'new mac mini' or new 'mac pro' threads. Probably more than 232h were wasted in these.

I wish I had that kind of dedication.

 

[sudo1996]

That's nothing compared to my server.

Perhaps the person has a significant other already. Or doesn't want one at the moment? How/why does that even matter?

its a sarcastic comment, that this guy has no life and spends time doing this instead.

As opposed to posting supposedly sarcastic comments on online forums? /s

I spent over 400 hours in Skyrim and I didn't get a MacRumors story. So I am certainly in no position to judge. Good for this dude! A wonderful example of dedication, attention to detail and creative energy.

Mr. Westerlund, I salute you sir, and bid you ignore the cruel taunts of those who dare not create! And if anyone with any influence from Apple is reading... (... well first of all how about some decent new desktop macs, huh? But also,) how about inviting this guy for a guided tour once the new campus is complete eh? Would be great publicity and a great end to the story.

Why not LEGOs?

Because there's no such thing. Did you mean LEGO bricks?

The word LEGO is a brand name, and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our products as “LEGO bricks or toys” and not “LEGOS.” By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud, and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you!”

I wonder how much dadodated waam was required to store that thing...

I hope the campus team gives this guy a job

Ah, the triggering is strong with this one....


I'm married with kids thank you.

And yet here we are nevertheless.

Quite impressive dude.

 

[unplugme71]

This must be embarrassing for the construction project manager and crew.

This is what creativity looks like. Some of the best creations in the world come from the types of people who enjoy this sort of trivial activity. Let us have some fun every now and then.

Nicesssssss campussssssssssssssss (blam!)

Impressive, I suppose, but where's the redstone logic simulation of an Apple 1 in the basement? (Someone has done a universal Turing machine in redstone so it must be possible).

Looking over the architecture, it's actually quite simple. Challenge accepted.

 

[Zaqfalcon]

Possibly the nerdiest achievement of all time.

 

[762999]

the campus is nice, but the calculator/alu/mini-computer built within Minecraft are more impressive

 

[Bitchslayer]

I must say, this is impressive but there things missing
