So I decided id download Minecraft this morning over State of Decay for the simple reason that Minecraft will always be an ongoing game that never ends due to the creative nature.
So I figure everytime I catch some Minecraft game time il update my adventures more so like a log book.
Tonight I managed to play for around 3/4 hrs.Started off by picking a British paratroopers skin then spawning in.
My plan was to first find the basics food,shelter,torches,tools etc so I took the easiest root and dug into the side of a mountain which all in all worked quite well.
Once I had this secure after a few freaky moments out of the blue from mob spawns I begun to think right what do I want to do next.
My next move was to gather materials to build a basic stone 8x4 house close to a lake that I found and a few good mine areas (one of which I fell to my death because I was walking backwards avoiding a skeleton).
Once I had gathered the materials(stone,glass,wood etc) I decided right its time to move from my hole in the mountain to my proper house,so I lifted my materials and built the house,placed my furnace and craft table inside along with some lighting from torches and my bed in the corner.Bare in mind I left some stone to finish the roof in a chest in the hole in the side of the mountain.
Headed back to retrieve this with success then it started to get dark and I thought fuck this ain't good.Countless mob after mob attacked me which really disoriented me in a big way that much that I ended up dying due to limited food and weapons.
So on spawning I get this message letting me know that my bed was inappropriately placed/compromised then I remembered fuck I didn't finish the roof.I set out to find my home,I spent well over an hr looking for that son of a bitch and came up with fuck all.I forgot my coordinates so couldn't rely on that and couldn't remember any specific landmarks.lets say this pissed me off a lot due to spending 4 hrs to work on a decent basic house in an real good area for caving and farming/growing.still I came out of it learning an important lesson,next time il be writing down my fucking co-ordinates lol
The whole time I was playing tonight my 8 year old son was sitting watching me play and he admittedly knew way more about fucking Minecraft than his father 22 years his senior.lol
So that was my first 4 hrs playing Minecraft and im hoping the next time i pick it up it'll be more positive than loosing a house,falling down a deep dark hole,being eaten by zombies and realising that my sons pretty fucking smart when it comes to Minecraft.
