Sometimes we do weird things for the people we love. The wife and I, we started playing Minecraft and it's an alright game. I can see how it could easily become an addictive time sink for people. The very first night we played it though, she got lost hunting mushrooms. I gave her so much shit for it, because that's just typical her. So this morning, I've spent about two hours going from mountain top to mountain top, creating lighted beacons in the shapes of arrows, each one pointing to home base. Next time she plays, hopefully she doesn't get lost. Though if she does, I'll really give her shit for it. All that game does though, is make me want to go on a nice hike, not something as adventurous as WanderingEng of course, but enough to get me some sun and fresh air. Maybe hear some birds.
I watched empires rise and fall in Minecraft haha. I was part of a small server back in high school that was working on a project to build this massive kingdom. It was cool because we each got our own quarter to design how we liked. The game can be cool, but the going outside thing is usually pretty awesome as well.
Yeah. People have been telling me that Minecraft users come up with ambitious and creative projects all the time. I bet a shared server must have been quite the social experiment. Also, my beacons work. I almost got lost myself. The game really needs a compass.
It might actually be worth redownloading the JRE or JDE or whatever is it again... and Minecraft too, I guess. Either way, it would be worth it to see the novelty of galen playing something other than CSGO.
OH MAN. I would come back to Minecraft for that. And y'all know (or at least Quatrarius does) that I almost never play games other than CS:GO.
People have made working 16-bit computers in Minecraft.
Oh man, the hours I have spent on online Minecraft servers a few years ago. Our server had among other things subways, giant cities, a sport called spleef with an actual league (with outfits and 6 stadiums), massive community projects and digs, a 5km parkour challenge...I bet a shared server must have been quite the social experiment.
