I like the "amped" idea. I like when game worlds are almost too magnificent. That's what impressed me about the new Zelda as opposed to the old ones. It really feels like this wide, wild, huge world and you can explore all its nooks and crannies.
Ugg Hunt Cow for Leather

I played a world in Minecraft today acting as a caveman. I used nothing but a bone to defend myself and chop for resources. It's basically as good as a wooden axe, so why make a wooden axe? Ugg, my character, doesn't know how to make an axe anyway.
My goal in the game was to give the cartographer (this is a special villager) what he wanted so he would sell me the map showing where the mansion was. Ugg gathered lots of sugar cane for paper and gave the cartographer about 50. The cartographer wanted more though and Ugg was getting bored of that.
Ugg saddled horses and donkeys to use as travel aids and fought mobs with his bone and team of dogs. Five dogs is a pretty powerful weapon. So powerful in fact that when Mark hit me by accident while we were digging up a burried mob spawner room, the dogs jumped him and killed him. That's when we basically stopped that world. Mark didn't like that much.
In another world, we created some killer tools and a fort in creative mode and then switched to survival and battled mobs. It was fun. I figured out how to make a kind of fireball throwing cannon and learned about Shulker Boxes. Inside there is a creature that shoots a strange object that does damage and gives levitation to anything it hits. I put a dozen of them around the fort and watch them levetate mobs into the air only to come crashing down once the spell wore off. I learn something new every time I play this game. It's what keeps me coming back.
I also played a little bit of my amped up world solo. This world has "amped" applied, so the mountains are much bigger. It's great because it looks more natural, but it's hard to navigate. I play this world a little at a time hoping one day to get those achievements in the End City. It's a tough task.
Well, tomorrow is Labor Day and I'll probably play some more, but this time Mark and I are going to play the Battlefield Bad Company series. I'll be playing BBC1 and he's going to play BBC2. If I was going to stream all this I could make a joke about tv stations in Britain.
