Lime Monster

For Christmas Santa bought our family an XBox 360 which quickly became the focus of our household entertainment, around the same time we were round a friends house for a party and our 7 yr old daughter disappeared for about five hours – it turned out she was watching other kids play this game I hadn’t seen before called Minecraft.

So a version for it was bought for our Xbox (Jean our little one had to be physically carried out of the room crying that she wanted to carry on watching the game that first encounter).

Now the PC version is bigger and better and what have you but at the moment I am quiet happy with my limited world on the XBox.

Initially I was not playing it – I tend to get addicted to games so avoid computer ones but I sat there watching my husband play and well I began to really want to do things in the game.

So I set up my world Gaia and away I went – I’ve been playing for six weeks I think. I am obsessed – working out knitting patterns for making plushy blocks, writing a fanfic novel, sorting out how best to make cakes and foods themed to it, craft activities for the kids, wanting the lego set and the foam swords and what not and of course playing it.

When my daughter comes home from school we have one cup of teas worth of minecraft together so it is pretty much being played everyday. I have big extravagant plans for the world and am really enjoying it – even if (and I quote) ‘Mummy Minecraft makes you say the naughty words’. Yep I have a tendency to shout profanities (normally Flippy heck but sometimes something stronger) when a creeper emerges and blows me up!

I have been taking pictures of my progress so will be sharing those with you 🙂
