MC Quant Is in the House!

            Some people just do not think that learning and playing go together. I am here to tell you that those people are absolutely right, unless you are one of those genius freak outcasts that think learning is fun. Well, let me rephrase that, school is not fun, but learning is. A new mod on Minecraft allows the player, or Steve, to mess with quantum physics. I mean, if I had a choice between either Minecraft or a physics textbook, it would most definitely be Minecraft.

            Of course, like all simulations, they do not flawlessly represent the actual thing, but this is pretty close, and it gives freedom of movement and basically freedom to do whatever someone wants to do. It is much better than the constricted boundaries that school gives you, high school for that matter, and instead it allows a person to freely explore their boundaries. This, I believe teaches much better than restrictions, because when babies are first born, they do not know the rules of the world as soon as they escape from the womb. Instead, they learn through exploration and interaction of the objects surrounding them. In fact, one of the reasons some kids learn so much, is because of the freedom of their actions, of course, it is then strictly inhibited once they get into school with heavy regimented policies and mistakes everywhere.

            Another reason that this is a great idea is that somebody actually gave a thought to furthering education. Other games are all about fun and money and drugs and sex and stuff and more and more and more! Not saying that those games do not have low moral standards, actually I am, they are also not educational and only teach reflexes while also reinforcing the will to buy the sequel, because, "WHEE! It is an exciting game, the sequel can only be better!"

            Then again, if one would look at it from the gamer's point of view, this makes an immensely more exciting game, because now it is based upon whether or not a series of events has been completed yet, and only when these events are completed do the results happen. It would be great for computer programmers too because their programming is strictly regimented and if one thing is not completed than the whole thing falls apart, it is actually pretty depressing to be honest. Then again, anything that wastes time is depressing like watching a couple movies of a sparkling vampire.
