DAMMIT, MINECRAFT.

My Minecraft addiction almost resulted in me and everyone who lives in my house missing Tron Legacy last night. We made it, though. Oh, Tron Legacy…as a film, it was absolutely terrible. Even as a movie, it was terrible. However, as a sequel to Tron, it was FUCKING AWESOME. I thoroughly enjoyed it and if you’re a fan of the original, you will, too. As a bonus, you can actually see what’s happening on the screen in this one because CGI > Rotoscoping.

So, Minecraft. My nerdery is getting in the way of my nerdery, as I almost missed Tron and I haven’t had time for KotOR or Dwarf Fortress because of it. Anyway, I have two worlds (and, of course, a dwarf skin for my character). In my main one, I am building an epic mountain fortress. In my other one, I’m building a little island fortress.

In the island fortress world, I just finished the fortress proper (just a nice little bastard made of stone, wood, and clay) and I decided to start an actual mine instead of just digging in the basement. So, I’m digging a shaft downward and finding a lot of coal and a few pockets of iron and I’m pretty happy, as I hadn’t found this much of each before. I keep digging downward and I break into a cave. I think, “Dammit, this is going to ruin my mine. Oh well, I have torches. I’ll look around.” Well, said cave has EVERYTHING. Diamonds? Redstone? Gold? Iron? Coal? Red mushrooms? Water? Magma? Obsidian? Yeah, all of that. I think I have a new main world.

At any rate, I’ve been on Peaceful difficulty while I build because I want to be creative and I got sick of Creepers. Bastards. Once I get some good defenses (and offenses, as I have none), I’m going to turn on monsters and see how long I can last!

So, that’s that. Minecraft has taken over.
