Personal Narrative: Minecraft

Four, maybe five German soldiers surrounded me. They were moving in faster than a pack of starving wolves, and I was their downed prey. There were flying bullets, dark smoke, and explosions everywhere. I was oppressed and knew that this was finally it. All my hard work was about to disappear into a plume of smoke. I commenced raising my rifle, and then in the midst of this chaotic scene there was this ever so subtle giggle over the headset. I look upwards dumbfounded to see a firestorm of bombs hailing all around me, and enveloping my entire section of the battlefield obliterating everything. It was my brother Chase piloting this monstrous desert-sand colored beast of a bomber, which just unleashed utter devastation on the opposing

I play videogames quite a lot. Most of my free time after school is spent indulging myself in the virtual world. Now I'm sure almost every applicant has gamed to some extent, but throughout high school I've taken gaming to a new dimension. I play videogames competitively and I earn money by doing so. I've earned roughly one thousand dollars playing games such as Minecraft, Overwatch, and Call of Duty. Although competitive gaming is now an extremely stable position, I never considered pursuing that path. I do however enjoy the competitive aspect that videogames have to offer as well as the small amount of income I can receive in competing. Those I am close with consider me to me naturally gifted when it comes to video games due to my ability

I love living in a small town, it gives me a sense of guaranteed safety and simplicity.

December 17th, that is my birthday. Having switched school counties in middle school my birthdays always had to find the best of both worlds between two different groups of friends. Well, I had recently discovered the magic of social storytelling in games like Dungeons & Dragons. At this point three of my friends and I would meet up every two weeks for a late night session of fantasy tabletop role-playing. These nights were the high points of our social lives; it only made sense that I wanted ALL of my friends to experience this awesome game. So, I invited everyone asking them to come over around 6:00 p.m. and expect to be there until around midnight. I loaded up on snacks, came up with an adventure for us all to go through, and actually cleaned a little. Everything was set up for everyone to have fun, eat snacks, stay up late, and hopefully find a new hobby. Unfortunately that is not at all what happened.

On 10/02/2017 at 0017 hours, units were dispatched to 627 Central Ave for a report of a Domestic involving a knife. I responded at emergency speed, priority one. Upon my arrival, I located the accused female in the bathroom.

The week one Gamescape Simulation was very helpful to me. I wont lie, I was feeling somewhat overwhelmed as to how to approach each ressource provided by the University. I am very glad that we will have these simuations every week. Each resource was explained to me very clearly, but to me the most valuable one would definitely be the University's library. The library will provide me with peer reviewed articles. These articles are written by scholars,and by other respected proffessors. In turn, it will facilitate my academic growth in the University of Phoenix.

I can put in a good amount of hours on weekdays but can do a lot more on weekends. I can dedicate 3-6 hours during school days depending on my workload from my classes, and 6-12 hours during weekends depending on family plans.

At thirteen, I began to play the popular sandbox game, Minecraft. As I became more familiar with the game and how it worked, I started to puzzle it and how it was made. I found that the developer, Markus Persson,

Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn’t even been released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man, Markus “Notch” Persson, and this is his story.

Minecraft is one of the few games I enjoy playing. I've always been a fan of the creativity and concept which encouraged me to purchase an account. Four years ago my adventure as a Minecraft player began and ever since I've enjoyed

Before every game, I listen to music. Whether tossing around the pigskin, shooting the rock around, or connecting with the console, I always listen to music. When it was time to leave for the game I jumped in the car and put in my headphones. It was so loud that even my father who was driving could probably hear the exact song that was blaring into my ears. My music was on all the way up to the first whistle, not even taking out my earbuds to squeeze into my tight shoulder pads. This is just part of my pregame ritual. I listen to music in some way before any game. Most people use music as entertainment or as a pastime, but I use it differently. I use music as a routine. If I listen to music before every game, the game itself will almost become second nature.

The cheer of the crowd and the laughter of the kids in the air were the only things reminding me that it was just a game. Eight and a half innings, seven pitching changes by both teams, twenty-seven runs scored in all, and we were still losing. The sweat came dripping off my nose and forehead like melting ice. My eyes stung, and I could barely keep them open due to the bright rays of the sun beating down on the dirt and grass, the baseball diamond seemingly larger than it had been eight and a half innings ago. My coach’s whisper rang through my ears. “Only if you think you can,” he said so softly that I had to almost lean in to hear what he said. I was on third base, with the winner of the game was being decided by one out. We had made

I haven't been playing HCF as much as I'd want to, but I'm really starting to get back into it. I've been playing Minecraft for a rather large portion of my life; if I ever do stop playing this game, it will always hold a special place in my heart. This is a game that introduced me to players thousands upon thousands of miles away, people that I never would have met if not for this.

Racing at night going One-hundred and forty miles an hour on US-27 holding the lead, Shift six gear, speed topped out at two-hundred miles per hour passing by cars smoothly. I chanted I am immortal, I am a god! while I pushed my sports bike to its limit. Suddenly a black car approaches. WHAM! I get Rammed from behind and lose control of my bike slamming into a Semi-truck up ahead. Lights out. When I peeked my eyes, I saw 4 humans around me. Thump after thumb I believe I was in an ambulance rushing down the turnpike. I looked around and the first words that came to my head are “Rick this is just a dream”. This is the story of how I escaped from an illegal laboratory that clones and modifies humans.
