Happy Friday boys and babes. I may have misplaced my avatar. Such is things.
Well, this is my last weekend of drinking away the all-encompassing loneliness and in celebration, Notch is getting married. So that's pretty rad. Hey, who wants to play
Minecraft? Yeah you do!
Okay, swell. How do we do these contest things again? Uh. Hm. Hey, howsabout this? I dug the stories from metrocrap's
last contest. Let's work with that.
Minecraft's been the talk of the town for awhile now. Why haven't you played it yet? What've you been doing instead? What was so dang important? Give me a story. Something bold. Something brave. Something that pulls at the heartstrings or yanks at the funny bone. Whatever you got. Objectively best comment as I judge them wins a
Minecraft gift code. We'll let this disaster of a poorly-thought-out-but-well-intentioned train wreck chug along its merry course until Monday at whenever-I-get-around-to-it o'clock. Make it quickie.
Speaking of quickies, sorry about the short blog here. I don't really know what to say.
Contest yeaaaaaaahhhhh.
Also, did you know Alexisonfire broke up? Feel free to weep openly, but don't let it bring down your contesting spirit. #fillingspace

How this leads to a 1 to 1 recreation of the Starship Enterprise confuses and bewilders me. Maybe with a beta entry I'll finally see what "it" is, but as of right now I am confused as to how this Mine is crafted.
I had always known a lot about what games I want to make, but no game has inspired me lately like Minecraft has. I think most people aren't looking for a game like Minecraft when they are busy playing first person shooters, our current selection of Bioware/Bethesda RPG's, or a Rockstar type action game. I think a lot of us take for granted how hard it is to achieve the complexity of Minecraft, and take for granted how much you can do in it. I had been looking for a game like this.
It is a breath of fresh air for developers like me who are able to say something like: "Holy shit, I've always wanted to be able to do something like that in a game!" And it inspires a generation of programmers, not to play the game endlessly, but to go out and try their own new ideas.
I suck.
But, I've been trying to change! I got a couple XBLIGs and almost bought Minecraft the other day, and that's a step in the right direction.
As for Alexisonfire, I hadn't heard about the disband. I liked them a while back, but never really followed them for the same reason I don't follow any bands: I s- I mean... Because I know they will break up eventually and I will be left grief-stricken, like so many instance I can recall in my youth. On a similar note, one of my all-time favorite bands recently got back together after a decade-long split. Don't really know how to feel about it besides "meh".
Oh, how I have suffered; so close, yet unable to call out to you, to aid you in your times of hardship, to celebrate your victories. It is of no consequence now. You have met every challenge, solved every puzzle, unraveled every riddle, and soothed every rash (sorry about that, my loom broke down). It has all lead you to this very moment. It is time that you fulfill your destiny. Give me the game Beyamor, and together we will rule Minecraft as father and son.
Incidentally, you should probably avoid that chair for a while.
