 "Minecraft Goes Final on 11/11/11")

For a game that looks outdated visually and one that hasn’t even reached final release, it’s sold over 2 million copies and over $32 million in earnings. The team behind Minecraft is no larger than eight individuals. According to Tekgoblin , it’s already selling close to 10,000 copies each day. After years of success in its beta form, it’s all set to be released as a final game later this year.

Our resident Hardware Ninja, Rossi, lives for speed - by uhh riding his bicycle. He's Tech2's utility man, dividing his time between cameras, software and intense bouts of Quake III. He's also a fan of all things obscure, case in point, Live for Speed (sic). Never heard of it? We rest our case. In his spare time he tries to teach our new joinees the tricks of the trade even though the blood sweat and tears, but give him a camera and all things forgotten.
