What does everyone think of this video game...good? evil? time wasting soul sucking? Constructive? Makes your eyes go square?

Look boring and pointless to me but I don't see how a video game can be inherently evil.

well there was one video game called Grand Theft Auto and I think it was about stealing cars from what I gather.

I think stealing is wrong, but some people obviously don think so.

I was talking to this boy about Minecrat today in the library and asked him why everything was squares, even the minecraft peoples eyes were square shaped. I said it hurt my eyes and I dont know how anyone could look at it for too long.

I have Minecraft on my iPad. I was super excited when I found Red-stone one day.

Like guns, it depends on the person, i.e. is moderation uses, does it distract from your spiritual life. I once scratched 11 game disc because I felt convicted over my game time, I wish that I had one specific game back.

Oh there are some games that are definitely inherently evil. "Succubus" comes to mind. Also all the games that actively push LGBTQ agenda. Also all the many, many hentai games that have been flooding the market the past couple years.

But I'm pretty sure Minecraft ain't one of them.

You can pretty much play it infinitely. There’s no true ending to the game. You beat the dragon with is the final boss but after that you can return to your world and continue to build/do whatever you want. As far as video games go, it is probably one of the most child friendly ones.

the game that never ends?
what is the difference between minecraft and roblox. They just seem similar brick type games.

Also what is an enderman and a creeper.

I know what a noob is.

Both Girls and boys seem to be into five nights at freddys.

Another game, Among us seems popular.

Ive never played plants vs zombies, but I actually enjoy reading the books/comics.


I have read one minecraft book. and it was about an underwater minecraft aquarium although I still didnt get why everything was so square shaped or why they were mining underwater. Maybe am missing something. I got the point of sim city and tetris and lemmings and other old skool games but minecraft to me seems boring, like you might as well play with real blocks and build something tangible. like lego.

I mean... It's better than digging up old threads just because you're bored. At least in Minecraft you're building something.
