Since watching Al’s videos of him and a friend of his playing Far Cry 4, I really wish I had a friend that would do the same. How much fun those two had, and Al seemed to know more than his friend.
Because, playing a game with friends is fun and builds a team-based relationship.
Though I only have angry, who doesn’t play that many games, or even games I would play. But, I did survival co-op in Minecraft with him. There was no ‘building of team-based friendship’…
Most of the time, he was doing all the work while I was just walking around trying to find something to do, while also staying alive. I was waiting for him to tell me “come help me mine” or something like that. But no, he’s making the tools. He’s building the houses. He’s mining the ore. What am I doing? Waiting for him to say something.
And even when I was able to help him, it just went back to him doing all the work, and hardly any communication between us. Just recently, he’s gathering obsidian to go the Nether. He never once said “We should make armor”. In a co-op, you work together on the same project. Chopping wood. Killing enemies. Exploring. You do it together as a team. There… there was no team thing. It was us doing our own thing.
Like when he said “we need sugar cane”. Guess what happened? I went out and looked for it. Not both of us, just me… while he went exploring for things I had no idea what for.
I don’t want our friendship to be based on just him co-hosting this website and doing all the coding work, while I’m typing in a blog post that hardly anyone reads except myself.
I want to be able to do more with him(aka, playing good games with him). I also want to be able to know more about a game than him(like Al), yet also not to a point I have to teach him every little thing about the game (like when it came to him playing WoW).
But, ehh… maybe it’s just not meant to be. Or, I just need to talk to him about how I really feel.
