I've been a viewer for a while, but first time poster in these forums.  My friends got me into Minecraft.  Maybe it's due to me watching them play so much, but when I first entered the game, I could figure out what to do.  I found a funny video with this guy running around in 1.8.

I wanted to know what your first experience in Minecraft was like.

Here's the video if you wanna check it out.
