- Surprises. I was digging a tunnel from my train station to my beach front house this evening and I stumbled across several natural caves. One of them was enormous! Tons of charcoal, iron, and even a little gold without having to explore!
- Exploring! In a randomly generated world, I'm seeing everything for the first time. I have no idea what's going to be around the next corner or even under my front doorstep. Remember that expansive cave system under the lake in front of my house? I sure do... even if I'm too scared to visit much because of all the monsters still in there.
- Being afraid of the dark. When I found tonight's surprise cavern, the first thing I did was run away. When I was properly equipped I came back and proceeded to turn on all the lights. I placed torches like a kid who has just gone home to and empty house after seeing The Exorcist. When I ran out of torches I built walls to prevent any darkness-spawned monsters from chasing me down and exploding. Good thing too.

- My Frenemies. Sure, I curse every time a zombie horde kills me hundreds of feet underground when I've been trapped in a labyrinth for virtual days. And creepers blow up my shit all the time, but that just gives me something to fight against. In a world where you can build a skyscraper on your own in a couple of hours, it's important to have something to fight against. My achievements don't mean anything without adversity.
- Building shit. Obviously. =)
