In 2008 (I think? Been a long time, not sure) I bumped into a video of blockland, curiosity forming, I looked at the site and at some point I got the demo and played that a ton. I wanted to get it really bad, but I didn't have any money at the time to spend. So I started playing classic blockland, stuff like "The Orange Block" and the old Return to Blockland. Playing those was a blast, I still go back and play them every once in a while. Eventually I got the game, and had a blast.
