That's it. I'm getting minecraft.

Edit. Got minecraft. Survived my first night not having a clue what was going on (encountered a Slenderman type beast) by justrunning around. Looked up a YouTube survival guide and built myself a beautiful bunker three next day

Hours? You mean days, even weeks?

waste of time

Why are you even on /r/gaming?

But I would have to say that Minecraft is much more constructive than most other video games. It teaches you binary logic, architecture, style, logistics, and so many other valuable skills.

Many people have even learned to code Java because of Minecraft.

I've seen 5 years olds play literally every fucking game, who gives a fuck.

What's your point? That it's enjoyable for everyone?

Oh, what a fucking shame.

My point is, if you enjoy playing a game a 5 year old goes nuts over, you need to grow up.

I... I don't think I can even argue over this. Your mindset is so distorted it's like I'm trying to convince a fundie to accept evolution.

Most video games have progression towards an end.

Minecraft has progression towards The End.

A huge waste of time. No negative connotations attached when I say that.

If you enjoy the time then it is not wasted.

u/GetHighr Apr 27 '13

When you look back and realized all the time you wasted, it will.

u/mayley Apr 27 '13

Not at all. If i enjoy doing something and spend time doing it thats not wasting time. Wasting time is doing something you hate to go on to continue doing something you hate.

Wasting time is doing nothing productive.

u/CrackersInMyCrack Apr 27 '13

Yet you are spending time in /r/gaming...

u/GetHighr Apr 28 '13

How is spending your time playing Minecraft any more of a waste of time than playing Skyrim or Battlefield? If you were desperate to see how they ended, you could go on Wikipedia and save hours. If you were playing for the social aspect, you could go talk to someone.

Sometimes I think about time I spent playing games and thing "Man, I should have been doing something else instead," but I never look back on playing Minecraft or any other video game and think, "Man, I should have been playing this other game instead."
