Benjamin's Interesting Life

[Renae]

BEN! I loved your post! What an awesome way to show how God really blessed you in the past year!

Your year sounds great and you sound like such a productive person! How are you able to do so much in so little of your time?!

I must say that I too was so blessed to have been able to meet you and Bethy! That was one of the funnest days of the entire year and you guys are just about the coolest people I have ever met!! Thank YOU for being the good friend and wonderful admin that you are! God bless you, Benjamin!

How was I able to do so much? Haha, when I was writing up that post, I was trying to think of things to add between the months. Thank you for all you said, Cuznae. I'm very grateful and thankful I was able to do all the things I did in 2013.

[Nelson S.]

So. I've been playing a lot of Minecraft.

Most recently, I've been playing in my own world, rather than playing online. For the last three to four days, I've been digging out my backyard.

First, allow me to show you my house:

Yes, it is rather small, so I am going to be expanding it. Make it better and less generic. But I needed it so that I wouldn't die.

My backyard went through quite the makeover. I call it the "Evolution of Awesomeness". Here is my backyard timeline: (Note: You have to scroll to the right to see all the work.)

Yep. That's what I have. I will be adding a tree farm, pathways, bushes all around, homemade scenery, maybe a pool? Not sure. And there's a hole on the last picture on the far right that leads to my mine. So yeah.

The building on the left of two of the pictures is my shed. I keep all my supplies in there. I have fourteen large chests in there. Here is a picture:

That's all I've really been doing recently. Minecraft and school. Whoopdy-doo.

Cool house! That's pretty impressive, especially in survival!

[Nelson S.]

Haha, well. Umm. I was playing on normal in survival. I spent a lot of my time in the mines. So one day, while in the mines, I found an abandoned mineshaft! Woot woot! Well, if you know about abandoned mineshafts, you know that there are often mob spawners down there. The first mob spawner I found was a poisoned spider spawner. I took out that spawner and then went past it. There were so many zombies, creepers and skeletons down there. I had to turn my game to peaceful. Yeah, I'm a wimp.

So, umm, I haven't changed my game back to normal. I was collecting resources. And I got quite a lot of resources and supplies while excavating my backyard. So I will be changing the difficulty back to normal when I get started working on my backyard and buildings.

Haven't changed back to normal yet? Tut tut tut, you know what they say about that!

MAY THY BONES BE CURSED TILL THEY ROT!!

[Nelson S.]

LE GASP. I don't want my bones to be cursed till they rot! *Quickly changes game from peaceful to normal*

[Helios]

Too late...marrow is turning to ashes inside thy bones...

[Bethany Shepard]

*cries of joy* That's SO beautiful, Ben!

Anywho, I like what you did with the place! It looks very kept up. Can't wait to see the compete finished product!

[Audrey]

Very nice, Benjamin. *nods in approval* My houses always have the exact same design, and look terrible xD Yours is much better. haha.

[Nelson S.]

Thank you Bethany and Audrey.

I have obtained a lot of my Minecraft knowledge from my favorite MC Youtuber, GoodTimesWithScar. As some of you already know. Haha

[SirWhit]

I haven't really played Minecraft in a while....like a month.

[Nelson S.]

I haven't really played Minecraft in a while....like a month.

Don't feel bad. It's actually a good thing you haven't. Very time consuming. XD

I am going to be making a new skit. I'm not going to say when, cause I don't want to be on a time limit. But, it should be awesome. I'm going to try to get adult sounding people to be in it. There shouldn't be too many adult characters though. Which is good. It'll be a WWII related skit. And I may start working on the voice acting today.

That and I have another skit to work on two. These two past months of not producing anything, I have a few skits I could produce. I just need to work on them.

[Wakko]

Sounds cool! Really like your skits!

[Helios]

If it's a good thing not to play it...
And it's very time-consuming...

Then why in the world do you play it?

Just sayin'.

[Nelson S.]

Then why in the world do you play it?

Because you can build anything; And make awesome stuff. And It's fun to explore. That's mostly the reasons I like the game. It's really a matter of taste, like any game.

[Bethany Shepard]

I liked it when I first started playing it. Now, like any electronic, I'm sick of it. I'll probably still play it every once in a great while. But I do enjoy seeing my brothers great accomplishments! *squishes Ben's cheek*

[Nelson S.]

Oh my goodness.

This is so me:

[GratiaDei]

There were so many zombies, creepers and skeletons down there. I had to turn my game to peaceful. Yeah, I'm a wimp.

If you're a wimp, I don't know what I am. I hardly ever play anything but creative or peaceful. Great house, though. Very impressive.

[Bethany Shepard]

Yeah, I had started out on normal and enjoyed watching the mobs come out at night. Then without realizing it, Ben had turned it on peaceful (I played it like that for probably 2 or 3 days) and now… it will never been turned back again… You mark my words brother. This:

So I will be changing the difficulty back to normal when I get started working on my backyard and buildings.

will never happen…

Did you say you were gonna make a swimming pool? If you do… you should line it with gold!
