Minecraft won't let go

Priorities: As you can see I have been neglecting my blog again. Currently I am in a transition from Minecraft to other games. I took a leave of absence on the Unlimited Craft server to try and help get away from Minecraft, and just when I thought I was free, I discovered the Survival Games servers. Which are basically pvp matches setup like the hunger games.

They are really fun and one reason I like it so much is because I rock at it. I am currently in the top 100 players on the leaderboard of about 35,000 players. Here is a link to my page on their server: Survival games

Besides my efforts of taking a break from minecraft on PC I just today bought Minecraft for the xbox 360. It should be fun because I can play it splitscreen with my wife and friends.
I have also been playing skyrim on and off. Its good but isnt all that addictive. Very similar to fallout 3 which I have already played the heck out of.

I have temporarily canceled my Old Republic subscription. I am not playing it enough to justify the $15 a month. When a friend of mine gets back in August I will reinstate it if I haven't already because he will want to play.


Virtually Virtual: Going to write a review of xbox Minecraft soon.


Thoughtful gab: I was comparing things at work to video games. In the sense of what I have learned. One example are the pallet jacks. Every new person takes a while to learn to steer it and bumps it around all over the place. Where as when I first got one it took me all of about 2 minuets to get it down and I was moving it around like a pro. Why is that?

It may seem silly but I believe it may have something to do with all the driving games Ive played. From Forza to Burnout to Mario Cart. I have played a decent amount and I think that they have given me some knowledge of maneuvering things. Idk how to explain it, but some video games require precision driving, and they are usually fairly close to real life. So I just learn the real life quicker because of it.

Same goes with driving a car. Sometimes I think I can park well because of the games. Idk it would be neat to setup a legitimate scientific experiment to find out if this is true or not.
