1. Struggle: I still have problem with purchasing the game. It just didn't let me pay for it even after I entered my credit card information. Does anyone have the problem or know how to ffix it?

During class hour on Thursday, I got to play MC for about 30 minutes, and I was so confused that I couldn't follow up with Thomas's instruction on how to navigate and picking things up and building things, so we (Georgia, Jennifer and I) ended up trying to look through the manual ourselves. I guess I was very slow to get the game because I haven't played online computer games for too long, and I died so many times. Even so, while I was playing it for a very short time in class I felt like this was going to be addittive. I could just keep going on and on to different places and the world just open up along with my frustration not to find any resources (probably because I was too slow) and then even when I found one I didn't know how to pick it up or what to do with it, so I kept pressing "w". I haven't had experience with the game enought but it seems there's no limitation to what we can do with the game, and that's what makes it very different from the games I used to play - there was always a path to follow, a certain number of things to collect or scores to achieve before moving on to the next level. So I guess having limitless possibilities can sometimes be dangerous too because we never know when to stop. Is it true for real life? One more thing, at this moment, I am happy that it seems that at least for beginning level player like me this game is not about speed (which I am very bad at). 

I hope I can explore more about the game when I am actually able to play it on my computer.
