My Minecraft Fortress, a tribute to Penny Arcade

chrisman01

A few months ago, there was a two part strip on Minecraft. The second part showed Gabe standing on a castle wall, looking over his domain. This is probably what got me interested in Minecraft. A few months later, I have completed my Fortress of Doom, and I'd like to dedicate it to Penny Arcade for inspiring me to build a castle, as well as bringing my attention to Minecraft in the first place. Thanks, guys, you rock! Now to rule over MY domain... Muahahaha...

Some pics from when it was under construction, showing my building styles:











It looks like I wasted a chunk of my life on the Fortress of Doom, but don't worry... I built other things as well, like my Fortress of Hell in the Nether



Here's a video tour of that one, as well. Although not inspired by PA, but instead my mind, I used the skills I learned from building this thing high off the ground to help with building the walls and towers of the Fortress of Doom:

(you can see the Hell one is old because it doesn't use the Steampunk texture pack)

If you haven't guessed, I LOVE Sins of a Solar Empire and it's soundtrack ^.^

Thanks for your time, and @ Tycho and Gabe, thanks for the inspiration!

While those are some pretty rad fortresses, we have a Minecraft thread over here for all your minecraft needs (the rules here only allow one thread per topic, so this will probably be locked shortly. But I don't think anyone will mind if you repost it in the MC thread.)

Thanks! Sorry, as you just saw this is my first post here... didn't know there was an entire thread dedicated to minecraft ^^'
