Just got home from work. I was thinking about what to blog about today while I was at work and I was mad that I couldn't type up my thoughts at that moment.
So I was thinking about how to format my blog, what to really have in it. I came up with the idea of have 3 main parts to it.
1. I give an overview of my day to show you how much I really game.
2. Expounded gaming talk
3. I rant or give advise or just speak my mind. Mostly my life and wife.
I should name these sections... hmm
ok so
1. will be "Priorities"
2. "Virtually virtual"
3. "Thoughtful gab"
and I will publish my posts at night but wright throughout the day, as I am doing now :)

Virtually Virtual:
Minecraft is actually really frustrating me right now. I put in many hours over the past few days making an epic castle. So at the top of one of my tower i wanted to put stationary lava with glass underneath for light. Turned out it wasn't so stationary. The lava flowed over the roof and all down my tower. It looked cool but was not at all what i wanted. unfortunately i placed the lava at the second to highest point. This means I couldn't place blocks to contain the lava, only water and lava could be placed that high. so I added water, which turned it to stone and obsidian. But then I had a waterfall coming down my tower. after much reconstruction I was able to stop the waterfall. There was still some lava though i had missed and I died multiple times trying stop it, falling to my death or catching on fire. So i moved my bed closer to the tower so i wouldn't have to walk all the way back. It was day time and I couldn't set my bed as my spawn point (sleeping in it) so I just decided to do it at night. Meanwhile i would work on fixing my tower. Once again the lava killed me. And then it spawn me in no mans land, who knows where in the infinite server. So I stopped playing. going to wait until I can get some friends to help me look for it.
-sigh-
That last hour was not fun. But its a game, why did i keep playing? Because I was making something and I was determined to finish. A little challenge is good, but.. can sometimes just suck and be annoying. Its also funny, I don't want to even play minecraft anymore after that. Sometimes with games when I've been playing
for a while and something like this happens, or it crashes and didn't save or something. I not only don't want to play any more at the time, but I usually stop playing the game entirely for weeks or months. In this case, I think I will just abandon, or postpone my castle project until after the 1.8 patch comes out.
Above is a picture of my castle project an hour or two before the calamity.
Thoughtful Gab:
Today at work I was just thinking about young kids and Black ops. Its sad that some kids have never played, or don't like, classics like
Ocarina of time and only play these fast passed
FPS. What is worse is being a mature gamer and having all these whiney high pitched voices yelling over their mics and talking trash. Come on parents! There is a M in the corner of the game for a reason. Not just because its violent, I myself wanted to play violent games at that age. But more because you really should just be at a certain maturity level to play the game! Or at least in order to have a headset..
Also.. The 4chan culture is funny and I respect that they have created their own way to talk and act.. their own culture. But I really don't think kids should be on their. Again, not necessarily because I don't think kids shouldn't read racist jokes or see tentacle rape. But because these kids spend A LOT of time on here and it becomes a part of them and 4chan.. come on lets be honest, 4chan is really messed up. And if 4chan is actually nurturing this generation of children... may God help us all.
At noon I had some New England clam chowder (chunky)
