Game Review: Minecraft (PC Version) from Howard Tsai

有鑑於大人對孩子玩 Minecraft 的擔憂, Howard 決定寫一篇文章來說明一下, 順便幽默一下自己,
挺好笑的喔!

Game Review: Minecraft (PC Version)


Creator: Markuss Persson (Notch)
Release Date: May 17th 2009(Beta Version)
What’s it like?
Minecraft is a 3D Sandbox game originally inspired by InfiniMiner, where players have to collaborate by mining blocks, which inspired Persson to create Minecraft, a game which instead of just mining blocks, lets you craft the tools themselves! Basically you can mine every block with your fist, but there are tools suitable for some tasks, such as the Axe, which is used for chopping trees, and the shovel, which is used to dig holes.
You start out in the game as Steve, the default player name and skin (Player Look) with a flat head and nose and hands. Since the game instructions aren’t exactly in game, you’ll have to go to the Wiki, or just experiment with crafting, which I did, and had many failures and pointless rages.
So let’s get to the point, many mothers are worried about their children’s addiction to Minecraft. I have no right to give tips since I’m sorta addicted to it too. 


So, here are the tips (For the mums):
Try to find a sport/board game your kid likes, and try suggesting to play it every time your kid has spare time, so he/she won’t have time to think of Minecraft(NOTE: This method has been tested and proved working by experts eg. my mum)


The tips (For the kiddies):
You may have noticed how hard it is to pull yourself away from Minecraft when playing it and when your mom/dad tells you to stop playing and go to sleep/read a book you still can’t stop playing and usually resulting in a computer ban. That sucks, right? But with positive thought directing, it is possible to pull yourself away from Minecraft even while you are playing it! Your parents mean well, most of them don’t hate Minecraft, they’re just worried about your overboard computer/Minecraft usage. If the worst comes to worse, threaten yourself with threats like: If I don’t stop playing Minecraft NOW my eyes will get so bad that even surgery won’t even be able to help. Scary, right? No? Then, If I don’t stop playing Minecraft NOW my parents will ground me from playing Minecraft EVER AGAIN!!!!!  That’s sort of the ultimate threat the parents can give.
You know, it’s not easy being a parent, with all the responsibilities and whatnot. Being a parent means taking care of the family and leading them through life. That’s a pretty big responsibility. So next time your mother or father tells you to stop playing Minecraft, tell yourself: My mom and dad mean well for me, they don’t hate Minecraft(If they do stop reading now), they’re just worried about me.


OK, this is starting to sound like an Anti-Minecraft Article but it’s not. It should be a Game Review but it’s really weird now.

Turn the wood into planks. And now you have wood! And now you can also access the Wiki for additional information on crafting, brewing, and smelting.
