Lava death and medieval dress


Priorities:
I have been spending a lot of my free time on the internet. Not playing games, just watching youtube videos, editing and reading the Unlimted Craft forums, and other surfing.
Otherwise I am playing minecraft.
Yesterday I played some battlefield. It was fun, I think I might play more.


Virtually virtual:
I am excited for the Minecraft xbox game to come out! It will be fun to get all the achievements and play split screen with the wife.

I am kind of loosing interest in minecraft again. As I have said before, it comes in waves.
It's ironic I loose interest now because I was just promoted on the UC server. I have more responsibility and should be there more. But I am tired of building mundane things. I want an epic project again. Even then, I just want to do the epic project.
Maybe I should take a week vacation or something from UC.
The Head-Staff, eydya, and I are good friends (through minecraft) I am sure he would ok it.

Maybe I will get back into battlefield. Or if I ever get skyrim I will just play that.



Thoughtful gab:
So I got my wife to play Minecraft with me a few weekends back and she was totally hooked. We played all evning then on Saturday we played all day together! We have made some roads and stuff in the jungle, around our base. We have a farm and a sheep farm with different wool colors. Its fun.

She had never found a diamond on her own and was sad. She was recently killed by a creeper. So I used an xray texture pack to find some diamonds and let her mine them. I saw that there was lava behind them and warned her. When she got the diamond she freaked out and said the computer wouldn't let her move. The lava poured over her and she was dying. In a panicked act I placed dirt around her to stop the lava and somehow eneded up suffocating her with it.
So I technically killed her, but we say the lava did.
She lost all her stuff to the lava, including her first diamonds. She shut the game off and said she would never play again.
-sigh- it happens. We have all been there before. I am sure I can get her to play again though. I made chest with a present for her for when she gets back in game. :)

We also went to the Renaissance Festival here in Arizona this past weekend! Totally fun, like always. We dressed steampunk.. or attempted to.
Saw some sweet medieval costumes though. And the turkey legs were a hearty meal. HUZZAH!
