As our readers know, we here at Geekosystem love Minecraft. We write about it, we discuss it amongst ourselves at Geeko HQ, we have our own private server, and we even have the occasional Minecraft get-together. Much of what we discuss, however, starts with the qualifiers, "I wish" or "You know what would be cool?" So, we decided to transcribe a conversation between two of our many Minecraft alums, James Plafke and Max Eddy, for your reading pleasure. Head on past the break to see how our Minecraft-related brains work, and what we'd most like to see added or changed about Notch's blocky masterpiece.

You know how when you send your friend an instant message sometimes, he or she immediately signs off after receiving it? Or how when someone tries to open your locked bathroom stall, you freeze like a deer caught in headlights? Or how when you're walking down the street and realize you're going the wrong way, you pretend to pat your pockets and pretend you forgot something so you can turn around without alerting strangers that you were just really walking in the wrong direction? Or maybe how you make plans with your friends for the weekend, but secretly hope they fall through the night before? Well, this penguin knows your pain.

On the heels of Minecraft hitting the one million sales mark, Notch released an update for Minecraft's beta, bringing the version number to a pretty-looking 1.2, and unleashing a bunch of neat new additions to the game, including a water mob, new blocks, and bug fixes. Head on past the jump to see the full list.
