Ahh, Minecraft.
I bought the game in early Beta in 2011 (March 2011 if I'm not mistaken) and I played it religiously for about two years. I had played many Survival servers, reaching admin rank on three, and had a server that I could call my own. Many servers popped up from the initial ones I had played, with similar communities and concepts. I loved Minecraft and it was my favorite game until I basically stopped playing the game due to boredom.
I bought the game on the Xbox, and it was a lot of fun playing with my friends (Heck, I even enjoyed playing Split-Screen with my brother!) I have since stopped playing minecraft and have gone on to different games, equally as addicting as Minecraft. Minecraft has showed me that I love Sandbox open world games, and I went on to buy Garry's mod, which, in ways, is similar to Minecraft.
