I introduced my 65 year-old dad to Minecraft a few years ago. I'm back visiting home for a few weeks and he said he wanted to "show me something." He then brings this posterboard with a pieced-together map he created encompassing the world he was playing/exploring.

Well, now I don't feel like such an odd ball for enjoying Minecraft at 65.

ETA: OH wow thanks for the hugs and awards. To me Minecraft is much more than 'just a game'. It's one of those unique games that offers building skills, architecture, programming, etc. I run a couple of servers for some of my friends kids, and of course myself as well haha.

On my personal server, I have the goal of building a massive infrastructure with accompanying hamlets that have their own economies et al. So far I have the main infrastructure I am working on (which is pretty massive right how, and I have 50 fully fledged hamlets and villages thriving.....well except for raiders keep plundering the goodies.

I've 'played' Minecraft since if first came out, and I am thoroughly hooked. So, you can call me nerdy for enjoying a simplistic game on the surface, but oh so involving once you dip into the deep end of the pool.

Right now I'm trying to 'shoot video' of the whole set up...but replay mod confuses me. I'll get it tho, and then I can trot around my pony in proper fashion with all the cool kids. LOL

Thanks again guys and gals.

ETA2: Still figuring out Reddit's changes made to replies. Used to be I could go down the list and upvote all replies. That seems to have changed. At any rate, I want to personally thank all who replied. You guys and gals are the best.
