First off, it's been a while. Second off, I'm changing things up on here. Thingz are going to get krazy yo. Well not really, I'm just going to add more things about my current job at whatever time I'm writing. The trials and tribulations of my rise from shift manager at Subway to CEO of Earth need to be documented and this is my stage to do so.
DON'T WORRY! There will still be occasional poems and videos and magazine covers for my adoring fans. and adore you will.
Anyway, anybody heard of Minecraft here? If not, it's www.minecraft.net for all you who don't .. have .. google ...
Uh. Well basically it's a giant randomly generated game made of giant randomly generated pixels. As the title indicates, you mine and craft. A lot. Monsters have haphazard spawn points throughout the map and it is your job to survive and keep the evil at bay. This is achieved through the creation of houses and castles and traps and moats and other titillating buildings. Making your first fort is one of the freshest, funnest (not a word) experiences in a long time, and it looks good as you do it.
As appetising as pixel graphics from the 90s sound, you'd be surprised how sexy this game actually is. The 3D pixel led graphics are a nice change from the NEXT GEN FANTASTICAMO whizz bangs of 2010, and they work surprisingly well with the gameplay. After playing for a short while you realise it couldn't work any other way.
Unfortunately, Minecraft is still in Alpha development stage, but even now I'm hard pressed to find a game more addictive, scary and cuddly at the same time. Every dog and their mothers are covering this game at the moment so if it interests you I beg you to read up about it. Well worth your time.
Rating - definite buy
Minecraft section over, job section COMMENCE!
When I first started working at subway I quickly moved up the ranks from sandwhich artist to shift manager. Despite the huge increase in pay of ONE DOLLAR(!!!) as a shift manager, I kind of miss the 'artist' part of my title. Making sandwhiches look beautiful was a fun way to pass the time, and now things are so different. My job allocations include wearing reading glasses, sifting through piles of money and telling people off for breathing too loudly. It's quite a dissimilar experience I must say.
Subway is my current livelihood, but to be honest I can't tell if subway or minecraft is more worth my time; One lets me eat, the other lets me eat VIRTUALLY! (I'm also a skilled carpenter in one of them, guess which).
Aight enough of this "writing" business, I'm off to mine mines, and lose money at poker. Have a grand old time all.
Whatchu' lookin' at?
