Usually, I hate things I don’t understand. Which probably explains why I want to go a bit stabby when anyone uses algebra in a sentence or why I want to strangle kittens when I watch the end of The Matrix Reloaded.

Minecraft, for those who don’t have the privilege of being in the know, is a sandbox game that allows players to essentially build loads of brilliant stuff with cubes (cheers, Wiki). It’s tools are seemingly so versatile that one enterprising chap called theinternetftw actually built a huge, working 16-bit computer in it. See his magnificent, if really confusing arithmetic logic unit below. Also, dude has one soothing-ass voice.
Impressive, no? The answer is, of course, yes. Hell, his creation was so jaw-dropping, he received a job offer after he posted about the project on Reddit. Apparently, theintenertftw eventually wants to make his ‘puter ‘Hack’ compatible, which means it will be able to run actual code… and possibly be able to murder you in your sleep.
