Hi guys,
I know a lot of you have no idea who the heck I am. So hi, I'm Matt. I've been playing Minecraft for about 3 and a half years, and have been a member of MineTown for about that long as well. If you don't recognize me, I don't blame you, I played on MineTown for about a year, and then disappeared for the next two, and really just came back within the last few months.
For those of you who don't know me personally, which is almost everyone these days, since all the people I used to talk to are now either MIA or banned, I absolutely love Minecraft, and computers in general. I started college a month ago with a major in Computer Programming, with an emphasis on Software Engineering. So yeah, I love computers. The only problem is the fact that I'm tired of them.
For the past three and a half years, I have spent almost 12 hours a day, 7 days a week playing Minecraft. I've done literally everything there is to do in Minecraft. I've played on hundreds of different servers, staffed on dozens of them, and heck, over the years, I've even owned a couple. I've dabbled in Java and plugin development, texture pack development, mod development, if it's related to Minecraft, I've tried it. The problem is, within the last few weeks, I've just gotten tired of it all. Every time I get on my computer, nobody is on Skype anymore. The only MineTown server I really enjoy playing anymore, Prison, also rarely has anybody online.
So I've come to the decision, that this may be the end of Minecraft for me. Well, not entirely the end, I could never completely give up the game that got me started into computers and programming, but it might be time to seriously cut back the amount of time I spend on it. I've tried getting back into robotics, but seeing as I dropped out of highschool (that's another really long story not worth getting into) and started college, I can't go and rejoin any FRC teams, as I'm "too old". And there aren't any programs that really extend past highschool. Seeing as I go to a community college, in order to cut down on costs when I transfer to engineering school, they don't really offer any clubs or anything. Other things I enjoy doing include things like Airsofting and Paintballing, but of course, the nearest paintball/airsoft course near me is like an hour's drive away :\
I have no idea what I'm going to do guys. I'm pretty much bored out of my mind on the computer, as nothing appeals to me anymore. Weather it be Minecraft, or Steam, or messing around coding things. If anybody has any kinds of suggestions on other hobby type things I can get into, I'd be more than interested in hearing about them.
If you're still reading this, I want to thank you for taking the time to read my introduction, story, rant, and whatever else you might call this thing. I hope this isn't the end of Minecraft for me, but who knows.
Cheers,
Matt
