oh geez... minecraft

I never understood the Minecraft craze, never interested me.

I was bored the other night and a friend told me they were playing the bought version by torrenting it, so I said what the heck and asked for the link.

and honestly I didn't even see the appeal the first night of playing.

next day, all day, same thing, I'd play it a little here and there, and I got super bored and decided to see how far I could dig downwards.

just, heres the convo where I told Jonna




[10:30] Austin: finishing up playing minecraft
[10:30] Jonna: How is it?
[10:31] Austin: it's...
[10:31] Austin: something else
[10:31] Jonna: Why?
[10:32] Austin: well for me
[10:32] Austin: heres how insane it got
[10:32] Austin: I burrowed into the side of a mountain
[10:32] Austin: and for kicks and boredom I was making hallways and rooms and crap
[10:32] Austin: then started digging lower, making staircases and stuff leading down
[10:32] Austin: and I thought I wonder how far down I can dig?
[10:33] Austin: so i made like this seemingly endless staircase going down
[10:33] Austin: and I was wondering if it ever ended
[10:33] Austin: suddenly though, I dug a block, and there was a hole
[10:33] Austin: leading into some sort of cave
[10:33] Austin: I started recording from there
[10:34] Austin: it's this gigantic cavern
[10:34] Austin: with tons upon tons of branching paths
[10:34] Austin: I came across rivers and lava rivers
[10:34] Austin: and some good ore to mine, rarer ore
[10:34] Austin: I still havent explored it all
[10:35] Jonna: Wow
[10:35] Austin: I cant believe how far down it keeps going though!
[10:35] Austin: I thought I'd hit the limit with the stairs
[10:35] Austin: but that just came upon that gigantic honycomb cavern
[10:36] Jonna: Maybe it just goes forevar
[10:36] Austin: seems like it
[10:36] Austin: friiick
[10:36] Austin: and I now see where the addiction can come in
[10:36] Austin: cause I had to go back to the surface many times
[10:36] Austin: to restock, make more weapons and armor
[10:36] Jonna: Haha
[10:36] Austin: bring food to refill life
[10:36] Austin: cause theres enemies abound down there
[10:37] Austin: zombies and archer skeletons
[10:37] Austin: I died quit dang few times too
[10:37] Austin: I lost so much crap
[10:37] Austin: I was digging and hit a lava river, poured in on me
[10:37] Austin: like more than half of my stuff was gone when I made my way back down there
[10:37] Jonna: Yikes
[10:38] Austin: oh wow looks like I got diamonds
[10:38] Austin: thats the best ore in the game
[10:39] Jonna: Oooo
[10:39] Austin: I wonder if this guy voiced all the enemies
[10:39] Austin: haha
[10:39] Austin: probably
[10:48] Austin: oh man..
[10:48] Austin: I can make a mine cart track go down beside these stairs
[10:48] Jonna: Oh snap
[10:48] Jonna: The addiction grows






Anyway needless to say, I ended up just buying it, so I can get all future versions and what not. I streamed for like 5 hours last night on my livestream, good times.
