"Documentaries usually only focus on weighty subjects like history-altering politicians or terrible hip-hop singing Joaquin Phoenixes. You know, the really important stuff.
And now, with your help, the game Minecraft can join those hallowed ranks. The documentary company 2 Player Productions is financing an in-depth look at the phenomenally popular construction game - and they want your help via Kickstarter. For anyone unfamiliar with the Minecraft creation myth, here are its basics: Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson developed the title on his own in his spare time and released it in 2009. The concept is simple, but hypnotic. Using digital blocks, create anything you can dream up: buildings, fantasy landscapes, etc. Overnight, Persson's game sold a million downloads and was every nerd’s new obsession.
The documentary’s initial funding goal has already been reached - and surpassed. But there are still a few days left for you to get your mitts on some of the pledge rewards. Depending on how much you donate, you will get toys inspired by the game, a poster signed by Persson and/or the chance to be in the film’s credits. Sadly, none of the funding options give you a share of the Oscar the movie will inevitably win next year for Best Documentary."

I wouldn't mind getting a look at it for inspiration really.
