Blizzard has no right to do this, and the video does not violate what is covered in their video policy page.

My hero, who also has some art done up(mock-comic book cover), http://bit.ly/hbucwI

Essentially, he uses telepathic powers in order to weaken his enemies, at which point he would run in and basically beat the crap out of them with his night-stick. The night-stick is also heated to a very high temperature, making it all the more lethal.

I could sit here babbling about his back-story, which is actually quite extensive, but I think it would be a bit overkill.

@Colin Yes, he called it Alpha because of the fact he wanted to start treating things more like a business. Before then, though, the game was technically still in the alpha phase of development. I've been playing it since the start and I talk quite often with the Mojang employees(as well, I moderate their bug tracker), and this is the case.

@Tommy S Classic, survival test, indev, infdev weren't development cycles of the game. Those are simply names given to each mode. The correct terminology of what people think 'alpha' is is actually 'survival'.

I'd just like to point out one quite major flaw in this article.

'June 28: Minecraft enters alpha. The phenomenon is about to get real.'

Minecraft became 'alpha' around May 10, 2009 when Notch first released a playable version of it.
