Minecraft 1.8's bow mechanics quickly utilized for Duck Hunt
18
For Minecraft players, a new update is almost as good as Christmas morning. See, updates mean new tools and/or creatures, which function as imagination-crack for the industrious and crafty crafters that call Minecraft home. The update has barely been available for 48 hours, yet its new mechanics are already being used to create inventive and entertaining constructions.
Sethbling's Duck Hunt replica may not feature actual ducks, but it does manage to capture the innocence and nostalgia of our 8-bit youths, all the way down to that damn dog's mocking, condescending laughter. Keep laughing, pooch! We'll see how funny it is when the Endermen come in the night and "collect" you while you're sleeping.

does joystiq have ANY kind of spam prevention? You'd think it would be pretty easy to automatically block comments containing ******** or ★ or ☆

It's called using a regular expression to verify and sanitize text input fields.
That's web programming 101, Joystiq. Contact me if you find that too difficult.

You know, that dog gets a lot of flak.
I mean he has to go out and scare out the birds, then after you shoot them he has to go and bring them over, and if you miss, then he gives a good natured laugh.
That or he's a complete dick.

Oh boy! I can play a home-made version of duck hunt! NOW my gaming life will finally be complete. Everyone needs to waste more time using Minecraft to jury rig versions of games that everyone stopped playing in the 80's!

"STOP LIKING THINGS I HATE!"
Christ, people like what they like. What does it matter to you if they like it or spend timing playing it? You know what people also consider games? Throwing bean bags into holes at each other.
Personally I'd rather log into a multi player server and build a giant maze to teleport my friends into.

@tehixe Or maybe some people like the sandbox nature of this software and legitimately enjoy it? What the hell is it to you, anyway? Why do you give a crap? If you don't like Minecraft why are you trolling the comments section of an article about it?
I've got hours of enjoyment out of Minecraft. It's already beaten a bunch of AAA titles for value for money and it's not even finished yet. Will I get bored of it eventually? No doubt. I get bored of EVERY game eventually.
