My summer has consisted so far of four things: work at Lagoon, ze new kittens, lots and lots of books, and Minecraft. Since y'all are probably really bored with my talk of Lagoon and my weird animal posts, I've decided to blog about that fun little game: Minecraft.
I'm not a big gamer. I cannot play PS3 for the life of me, unless it's Katamari. But computer games always seemed easier to me, perhaps because I spend a lot more time with a keyboard than a joystick or a controller. Perhaps because I like the screen being really close to my face. Either way, I now play a few PC games and am definitely into My Little Pony. (I'm actually cosplaying as Fluttershy. So excited!)
Minecraft is the main one, man. The big guy of all gamers and weirdos alike. So of course I had to try it.
I've been punching trees and building mines for a while now, so I'm used to all sorts of things on Minecraft. There is one thing I may never, ever get used to, though.
Creepers.
One glance of black and green in my peripheral vision, and I'm screaming like a madman. Endermen are even worse. I mean tall, black, with unnerving white eyes? *shiver*
I just recently got the yogbox, which is like a collection of mods the Yogscast whipped together. (British group that plays Minecraft. [I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole. Diggy diggy hole!] look 'em up)
Anyway, today's adventures include me finding a turtle, freaking out a little bit, and capturing him as my pet. I then named him Tutty (creative, I know) and accidentally killed him in a mine-shaft.
*Moment of silence for dear, sweet Tutty*
Then finding a house full of bandits, and sadly getting slaughtered. (I thought they were peaceful villagers! Guess that's what I get for being friendly to the natives)
And crafting some croc boots, out of real croc skin. My inner tree hugger is still yelling at me for that.
All in all, I had a very interesting time in the world of zombies and fire-flowers. Now I'm going to dive back in, and find some weird ax my nearest lumberman of a neighbor desires. Tootaloo!! (Poor, poor Tutty...)
