I was going to put this in the staff subforum, but I'm an attention whore through and through. Can't help myself.I have played minecraft for three and a half years. I started out in seventh grade with a couple of my other social outcast friends after somebody showed me a YouTube video of TheBarianBesbald, partnered with TGN. I was hooked - the game seemed so versatile, and I immediately ran out the next morning to shovel some driveways. As soon as I came back inside, I gave my mom 27 bucks and started my treacherous journey in this land of screeching voices and overglorified Legos.
And that journey has been more to me than anything else I've experienced in my entire life. It's something to which I dedicated countless hours and watts of brain power simply because I felt like I owed something to my friends of the game. That group of friends has shifted and changed, but my reasoning has stayed constant throughout. Without the screeching voices on skype and mumble, this game would have lost my interest long, long ago. But what those friends gave me via this game as a medium is more than I could have ever hoped I would get out of 27 dollars. I learned to talk to people again. And it wasn't just learning to talk to people through chat or even solely over voice. It made me good with words at school, too, and my social life, as a result, became fucking awesome. I'm no high school superstar, but I've at least got a group of buddies ready to back me up if I ever need it - and that's a hell of a lot more than I could have asked for in seventh grade.
I am so wildly grateful to every single person that I've ever encountered on Minecraft. Even those of you who didn't like me or who I didn't like still taught me something new. Every person that reads this post is part of the construction of a more mature me, and I can't thank any of you enough for that. Some of you I must thank more than others, but I can't think of somebody I simply wish I never met over the internet.
I would make a big string of tags, but I think everybody that I would have tagged already knows what they mean to me. And anyway, if I get any more melodramatic before I post this, I might just melt. It wouldn't be the first time. Thank you Badlion, and thank you Minecraft. Maybe I'll come back in the future, but for now I have some stuff to which I must attend. Until that day, if it ever comes, so long and good luck. :)
Edit: and my biggest minecraft regret was letting christhenoob win the archer tournament in exchange for the $30

But maybe I would try in bow, the guy I looked to was Hivlik
