Minecraft ate my wife.

Damn you, Minecraft, give me my wife back......!!!


My wife is into all kinds of geeky things. This is very beneficial for me because it means I have someone TELLING me to buy a new video game (she still asks me why I haven't bought Dead Rising 2 yet). She does her own share of gaming (mostly PoKe'MoN or Legend of Zelda games), but she recently discovered a little game called Minecraft.


 It began as something of interest to her. She would watch some videos on Youtube or look up some information on a site. She was fascinated at this little world that you could build and explore. Soon, she began spending hours just watching videos about Minecraft and reading articles and blogs. She would try to tell me all about it and tell Minecraft related jokes that she had found online. It began to consume her.

I offered to buy her the game on many occasions, but she would refuse. She said that she knew that if she ever actually played the game, it would take over her life. I figured she was probably right.

It was when she began playing the demo that things changed. She would spend HOURS building a fortress that she COULDN'T SAVE because it was only a DEMO. And she did this A LOT. I decided it had gone too far. If she was going to put that much effort into it, she may as well OWN the game so that she could enjoy it to it's fullest.

And that is when Minecraft took her from me. It is no longer something she does, it IS what she does. It doesn't matter what time of day it is or what needs to be done. She lugs the laptop around with her playing whenever she gets a chance. I've taken drastic measures to call her attention away from it, but to no avail...

I'm really not sure what to do about this. Please, if there is anyone out there who can break this spell that has been cast upon my wife, I would be forever grateful....
