So...because of a certain post in my previous blog, I registered an account on Minecraft and tested my internet's ability by going to the multiplayer classic thingy. I found a server called Tempcraft or something like that. It reminded me of GBAtemp so I went to that one.
I appeared in some sort of world between worlds. A message popped up telling me something about the portal on the right being open. I looked to the right and saw a bunch of doorway looking openings with blue...um...laser particles? Anyway, I decided to go into the portal on the right that had two green blocks over it. After I entered it, I expected to be warped somewhere...but I didn't.
I clicked the mouse a couple of times to make sure that wasn't the "Accept warp" button. Unfortunately, it took out part of the wall behind the portal instead. O_O
I was wondering what the crap I was supposed to do, so I walked around the relatively small world between worlds. I got bored really fast. I went back to the portal with the green blocks above it. I didn't know what to do, so I opened a new tab and checked my blog I made earlier. I noticed I had missed a joke, so I edited my reply to it.
After reading about some sort of nude pics Rydian got in his email, and Monkat being forced to volunteer to keep his job, I decided to go back to Minecraft.
Woah! The screen was black! I wondered if I somehow broke it.
Then I saw something blink on then off the screen. After a few times I realized it said, "Loading." I figured out that it was because my internet was so slow that I had not made it through the portal earlier.
After waiting about half a minute I appeared in some sort of Guest world. I was amazed! I looked around, and I saw tons of amazing architecture! It was crazy amazing! I walked around randomly gawking at the sights. While I was doing so, someone named 'Sword' said something. 'Hi' was it? I can't remember...anyway, I tried talking to Sword. I pressed 't' and typed in something like, "my internet is really slow." I didn't see my message up with Sword's. This made me sad.
I then typed something like, "are my messages going through?"
...
nothing.
I decided to ignore it and continue exploring this crazy place. The lag with moving was crazy, but it next to disappeared when I brought the fog levels in. I then happened upon a library! I was amazed, it looked cool! I looked around, and I thought it looked like a kitchen inside a house. I went up the stairs and found a bedroom with a bed and other crazy stuff. I was blown away with how cool this place is. I leave the same way I came, and then wandered around some more.
I found what looked like an unfinished building made with metal(or was it rock?) bricks for the structure, and then glass filled in-between the metal(rock?). Since it looked unfinished, I wanted to try adding some to it. I looked towards the ground and clicked expecting a brick to appear. Unfortunately, I destroyed the ground brick instead of building on top of it! I realized that the right mouse button was the building button.
About this time, I all of a sudden saw my messages pop up!
"my internet is really slow."
"are my messages going through?"
I was surprised, then not so surprised when I considered how slow my internet was.
Sword immediately answered my past self.
"yeah, I think so."
"I got 'my internet is really slow.'"
I then decided to make one final message. It went something like, "I don't know when you'll get this, but..."
"my messages seem to appear about 3 min after I send them."
I decided that that should clear up why I wasn't responding to anything.
I went back to the hole I had made. I filled the bottom most one with dirt, but I couldn't find the grass top ground piece in the 'b' menu. D:
I saw in the instructions that I could copy another piece using the middle mouse button, but since I'm on a laptop...I have no middle mouse button...
I tried different pieces, and finally decided on some sort of half-height piece. I didn't like how ugly it looked with the sudden piece of half block in the ground. That's when I got an idea. I busied myself ridding all of the grass pieces that touched the building. I then put half pieces in all the holes.
I felt proud of myself for making something that looked at least half-way decent. I then climbed up towards the top of the unfinished building, and filled in some of the glass windows. I was happy.
I saw Sword say, "i g2g." The only reason I know this phrase is because I used to be a Runescape addict. Anyway, I decided that I was done with Minecraft for now, so I logged off.
Impression of Minecraft world: Extremely impressed. It looked like the whole world must have taken forever to build! I bet I only scratched the surface of what was out there. I definitely want to go back sometime.
Impression of my internet: Extremely disappointed. Having to wait 3 minutes for others to see your message isn't fun at all.
