anyone have videogame memories?
i have some nice memories associated with minecraft. it was summer, and i think i was 14? and i rented the xbox 360 version of minecraft from redbox. the thing was my sibling told me about the game and she was addticted to youtube videos about the game. she really wanted the pc version but my parents didn't allow it because online games = dangerous. well in my opinion, you get what you can and minecraft is fuckin minecraft. it was magical, sure it was super outdated and WAY behind whatever version was out at the time but it was like a whole new world to me. imagine, if you will, waking up in a strange world. you get an ax and you chop down some trees, kill some critters, and night arrives. you get scared because you realise you aren't alone. you look at this tall black creature and the motherfucker teleports to your location and its a mad dash to find somewhere safe to hide before you get killed. you jump into a lake but guess what, after climbing out at the other side and get fucking shot at by a skeleton and there's a zombie that looks JUST LIKE YOU. nothing else like that first night.
my first house was built into a mountain which i hallowed out and not only built around, but added to. if there was a gaping hole, i filled it in with glass, i figured out animal farming and growing crops and i found a FUCK ton of stuff by mining and after an actual real week past i had myself a full set of diamond armor. after like a month my sibling gave up because she was a fucking retard, wanting something she could have lived without.
i built all kinds of cool shit like after mapping out the world i built a roller coaster that went all over the map. i'll never forget that experience.
