Skyrim in Real Life Posted by: lestep
Video duration: 86 seconds Since I started playing Skyrim, ordinary every day reality looks completely different to me. Flowers, chests, and vases in particular will never be the same, I can't hold proper conversations any more, and now I only read the title-page of books. Has this happened to you to? Post a video response. @steve_collis |

Minecraft first 3 days Posted by: lestep
Video duration: 119 seconds This is a summary of the first 3 days of our Minecraft server at Northern Beaches Christian School. On day 1, only one student realises we've opened for business, but immediately sets about building an NBCS sign in the sky. In days 2 and 3, (all school days, by the way, with students logging in in the evenings), the student populations jumps to 15 or 20, and mining and building is prolific. |
