Laura Corin Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hobbes: (staring at Minecraft on screen) What stone do you think we should have for the stairs? Friend: I really like the look of the sandstone Hobbes: Or the brick's really nice too Friend: Or wood, how about the wood? That would look good right there.... FWIW, they had spent the morning using their scouting-acquired knots knowledge to build a den in the woods and were now relaxing after lunch.

justamouse Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Minecraft architecture is HUGE here at my house. These are big decisions. The most fun was how big the window should be in the tree fort so that all could see the stars at night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Same here. Sometimes I wonder if ds and his friends are talking about Minecraft or HGTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reya Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yes! It is too funny to listen to boys wrangle over design aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Ds-14yo is in the middle of building "Helm's Deep" and it looks fantastic already. Yep, those video games sure are evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSurprise Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My 13 year old builds the most beautiful things. I told him he designs my future of library of books and light based on what he's done already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 hmm, my teens mentioned this game. I didn't know anything about it, I may have to look into it more. They like building their homes on roblox but it sounds like this is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My ds12 and his friend are on separate computers right now playing minecraft with each other on a server they set up. They are yelling across the house to each other. So cute. Reminds me of a conversation with my mom......I was telling her that dh said that ds12 has great coordination on the keyboard and how easily he could learn autocad. Mom said , "well I wish he would learn something instead of just playing those stupid games". I said mom he is learning stuff....he does all his school work and is doing fine. Video games, computer games are just what kids do." She was quiet for a few seconds and then said, "we'll I don't have time to learn any video games because I am too busy with Words with Friends and Quizboard." ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylk in tx Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Mine do this both on computer and through Xbox... I'm always hearing disembodied voices coming through the gameroom speakers and realize it's one of their online friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 That reminds me of my ds, too. We saw a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit at the art museum once, and now ds is a big fan. He likes to design in a similar style on Minecraft. Recently he made a four-family residence with separate entrances, very Lloyd-esque in it style. I keep meaning to take him over to Taliesin West.
