[Aware]

How long have you been playing the game? - A little longer than 4 years.

What is the game generally about? - At first glance you would see a video game that looks like the main point is to build, but if you were to play the game you would find out that you have near unlimited possibilities that you can do.

How do you get and start the game? - You purchase the game off the website http://www.blockland.us

What do you do in the game? - It is a Sandbox game, you do everything and anything.

What is your general opinion of the game? - 10 years ago this would be a high class game, now it is still a fun game but lacks the quality of most newer games.

Has the game influenced your actual life? - Well yes, without the game I never would have started 3D modeling and starting to learn how to program.

and why do you like the game? - I enjoy playing the game when I have nothing better to do, the people can be fun to play with at times but also get really competitive.

Thank you guys so far, I recorded your answers for the people that were interviewed :)

[Mysteroo]

I'll give it a go and try to help out a little

How long have you been playing the game?
-I've played consistently for around 3 years now.

What is the game generally about?
-It's similar to Garry's mod if you have ever played that. You play online with Legos as a sort of minifigure. There are infinite possibilities as far as creations go, as well as a huge collection of mods and such.

How do you get and start the game?
-Go to Blockland.us and buy it via paypal. Use the Key to login

What do you do in the game?
-Personally, I spend a chunk of my time making videos. Being a sandbox game with plenty of add-ons, it's perfect for making them. Otherwise I might be helping out with projects in the community or being lazy playing on other people's servers.

What is your general opinion of the game?
-The community can use some improvement, but being mostly teenagers, that's expected I guess. But the game itself is amazing. It has loads of potential and is very fun. And hey, it lets you practice math, exercise creativity, and just have fun.

Has the game influenced your actual life?
-It's really increased my interest in making videos, and it has become one of my primary pass times. But other than that, not all that much. But for some random computer game, that's a lot.

and why do you like the game?
-I've always been a fan of sandbox games, in my opinion this is probably the best sandbox game around. You can literally do almost anything you can think to do in this game, and if you can't, it's probably possible with add-ons.

Get sir dooble in here

[Ghille]

How long have you been playing the game?
4 Years
What is the game generally about?
It may look like just a building game, but actually is about anything. You can do anything and be anything.
How do you get and start the game?
I was playing on some flash games website when I was like 8 and downloaded the demo. I bought it two years later.
What do you do in the game?
Revert to the 2nd Question.
What is your general opinion of the game?
It's still good, I play it a lot less than I used too, I don't really know why.
Has the game influenced your actual life?
Yes, without this game I would be a wannabe gangster probably (influenced from my peers). I wouldn't have met so many amazing people, I wouldn't have discovered so many amazing things like Steam and 4chan, because of this game I have gotten into producing music and now that's my passion. I also have learned to code and now know what I want to do in the future. I wouldn't be part of some things also. I guess I'd like to thank Badspot here for making such a game that would impact my life so greatly.
and why do you like the game?
The amazing people and how everything seems fresh.

Interview

• How long have you been playing the game?
  Probably for about 2 years now.
  
• What is the game generally about?
  It is a building game at core, but really, you can do anything, make a TDM, make a city, create a clan, join a server, the possibility's are near limitless.
  
• How do you get and start the game?
  I was looking into "Lego universe" when I was about 11 or so, then I found out about "Blockland" which wasn't $15 a month, so I thought "What the heck?" and I brought the game, it turned out to be a good decision, especially because Lego Universe shut down a while after (I believe)
  http://blockland.us/Store.html
  
• What do you do in the game?
  Anything you want.
  
• What is your general opinion of the game?
  I personally love the game, I never get tired of the endless possibility's of gameplay, but I guess it's not for everyone
  
• Has the game influenced your actual life?
  It made it a lot funner
  
• and why do you like the game?
  I like how you're not limited to one thing, and most of the community is pretty fine, I love the constant modifications which add flavor to the game, and the servers, although of course, not all of them are good, the ability to make a server easily presents the player with a lot of things to do rather than join a mainstream server.
  
  
  PS: That's a really good idea to help encourage more players and make more people aware of the game
  I spent way too much time on this

About 4 years.
This game is generally about building blocks, but you could try other fun things.
I saw an ad on a website and decided to try it out.
I just join some servers, build kill other players in a TDM, all sorts of generic stuff you do in BL.
I think it is a pretty good game.
Not really because I don't erally get influences out of vertual things.
I like the game because you are free to do anything in this game.
