Minecraft Explained Part 1

Minecraft 

The virtual world of Minecraft is by far one of my favorite games for PC and Xbox 360. I've had the game for a little more than a year and a half, it's been a very fun and interesting experience.  This fun and challenging game has two game modes, Creative and Survival. Players are challenged to construct a house and other basic tools to beat the game.

Gameplay

Survival Mode

The story starts out with Steve (the player) spawning in a one of many biomes of the virtual world.Steve spawns with absolutely nothing. to craft items he must cut down trees to get wood. Once he has wood he can create different types of tools to mine and weapons to fight off Mobs. After Steve has his tools he mines downwards to find diamonds to make a diamond pickaxe. Once the diamond pickaxe is crafted, Steve mines Obsidian to make a portal to the Nether, Minecraft Hell. The Nether contains another portal which you must place special items called an Ender Pearl. Once this portal is created, Steve is transferred to The End, another dimension. In this dimension, you battle a boss to get special item not found anywhere else in the game. After that Steve wins the game an you can continue to mine, build houses and fight mobs.

Mobs can be turned off or on depending on the difficulty.

Creative Mode

Creative Mode is the game mode where you have an infinite amount of every block in your inventory and you create any architectural structure you can imagine. There can still be Mobs. There are infinite possibilities.

PC vs Xbox 360

Minecraft for Xbox 360 is the version I'm best at. This version of the game seems easier to play to me because I play it more often than PC.  Even though the controls might be easier, they might become more complicated as the new updates come out. Xbox 360 Minecraft is far behind the PC version because it was created first and released to the public in May of 2009 while the Xbox 360 version was released in May of 2012. 

Books that I wanted to write

All my life I've had about a million book ideas. Having an author as a father, I'm often encouraged to write these ideas, but I don't. To me writing has never been a hobby that I complete. It's more like scribbling down random thoughts, plot twists, character outlines and cover designs. I'm actually in the thought process of writing a book. I'm actually going to try to complete this one and hopefully write a fanfic or two.

So here is a brief description of a couple books ideas that have bit the dust :
(Don't laugh I already know some of them sound stupid That's why they didn't get completed)

• Phi Xi Theta- Aliens attack the earth with a bizarre weapon: the chronobomb. Entire cities are instantly transported into anywhere in the past. A chronobomb strikes a college dormitory, transporting it back to the Jurassic period. This fraternity struggles to survive against dinosaurs, disease, and a murderous sorority.

• The Parallel- A girl exchanges places with her opposite in the parallel universe, she finds a horrible truth of the parallel world and attempts to cross back over to the real world but her opposite knows what is going to happen to the parallel world and refuses to leave this new world she's found. The only way to save her is to trick the opposite back into the parallel.

• Saving Hollywood: An unlikely story of a true hero- A 10 y/o girl walks from her small town in Kentucky to Hollywood to meet her idol, who then she starts using the girl's story to gain more fame and fortune until the press starts loving her more than the celebrity. A boy back in her hometown finds out that the celebrity plans to murder her and make her death look like an accident. Since this boy has had a crush on her for the past three years he embarks on a journey to save her and picks up a couple unlikely friends on the way.

Happy Birthday J.K. Rowling!

Today is J.K. Rowling's birthday. I've been in love with her writing ever since I was 11. She's an amazing writer who has an amazing gift for creating marvelous stories. Just the way she's imagined a whole different world within our world is amazing. The impact she has had on the world has left us with the story of Harry and it for me felt like I was going with Harry through his years at Hogwarts. I was so disappointed when I didn't receive my acceptance letter into Hogwarts and found out I was a muggle. So from then on I decided  would still love the series so I've educated myself in the subject with a lot of trivial knowledge. In the honor of her birthday look at this link that has some cool statistics about the series and J.K. Rowling Here.
