After endless hear of this suppose addictive and endlessly fun game, I decide to drop a few bucks into a debit card and pay up. The download was quick, and booted it up. I started of out in the middle of mountainous area, with no knowledge of what to do. I started by collecting wood and rushed to the nearest tree and tore it down with my bare fist. Collect my meager sum of wood blocks after a few seconds of pounding away the trunk of the tree I felt manly, but the feeling was short lived upon seeing the bruised and raw knuckles I needed tools!

I fiddled away with my wood blocks as the sun began sinking and the night sky was sure to come soon. I finally made a make shifted pick-axe and began tolling away against a mountain of stone. I had collected a fine amount and quickly built a shelter and spent the night preparing for tomorrows tolling. Only to glance up form my work to hear the moanings of inhuman monsters. Wishing I had some light source to help me through the cold and unforgiving darkness.

Early dawn broke and I began working away, I found coal and promptly made torches to light my house. A few renovations to my home was all I managed after my discovery of fire before night fall came once again. Though my shelter was starting to feel more like a home rather than a cold pit made of stone and mud, it still felt empty. That feeling only increased as a mined away at my house into the catacombs, my coffers being filled to the brim in resources.

What felt only like minuets soon became hours of playing. Soon my home had a underground farm and a water slide that took me to a secret passage. I only found the time to write this in between the endless hours of crafting and improving my home, because night once again has consumed the skies. Hopefully those inhuman creatures that thrive out there in the dark dare not venture towards my crops. Though I assume they're safe as those things rather stare into my windows. Now that am finishing this up I shall retreat into the catacombs so those evil eyes no longer watch me. Perhaps I might strike upon some more iron...


TL:DR

So escapist what was your first experience with minecraft?

Is it really that good? I've heard it's addictive, but I've never really heard anything about what the game actually is.

OOH OOH! I've got a story!

So I thought it would be awesome to have a column of lava pouring through a glass tube down the center of my tower, depositing itself in the basement (forge/crafting area).

Keep in mind I had all sorts of equipment and rare goods on me at the time. Because hey, what could go wrong?

I'm at the top of the tower, putting finishing touches on the tube (I've already deposited the lava to make sure my pit at the bottom was deep enough). Suddenly... I slip.

Into the lava.

You know how, when you die, all of your items are ejected from your inventory?

You know how lava is the only way currently to permanently destroy an item you throw away?

...Yeah ... Then my house burnt down...

My train of thought on first play:

"Hey, how do I do this?
Left click and hold on trees for wood...Ah!
Crafting menu...*Goes to crafting Wiki*
*Crafts for a bit*
Why is it getting darker? Oh, I heard about this...Zombies come out if you don't have light. What do I need to make a torch? Coal?
*After 5 mins of trying to fuse Sticks and Flint together*
Why won't this work?!
*Tssssssssss*
What The---FFUU--
*Boom*
*Respawn*

Not the most pleasant first experience, but my first experience none-the-less.

I dug a hole, piled some dirt on top and crouched in it for half an hour until my friend told me I should try being productive by digging/crafting. Then I began work on my pleasant little underground home and being startlingly addicted.
