"I killed another one of my cats!" How did you do that? "I accidentally dumped a bucket of lava on it. AGAIN!" Conversations like that are commonplace in the household, and it would be a strange day to walk into the room and not find one of them desperately trying to shove a pack of dogs into a closet because they saw a spider outside.
1. It Is All Worth It
Despite everything you've just read, its all worth it. A lot of children's cartoons are pretty difficult to watch (I'm looking at you Teen Titans GO!) and most children's games are either too simple/too difficult to play with your younglings without boring yourself to death. With Minecraft you get a virtual world to more or less play infinite LEGOs with your kids in a way that they can build their own stories in a persistent world. Despite the hundreds spent on brittle toys and the confusing lingo they use when they talk about youtubers, the game is perfectly made to get some time to bond with your kids with something they really enjoy in this new technological world, no matter how strange it may be. Are you the parent of a Minecraft fan? Are you the child who wishes to make your parents understand your fandom? Share your reactions below in comments thread below.
Any time I'm not writing, I'm likely arguing about children's cartoons with strangers on the internet or staring at my ceiling and wondering where it all went wrong.
