Dude, I'm still alive

I play Minecraft. many of you know this. It's in my ASCOTWP, which by the way I don't like the way the computer wrote that.

Anyway, some background. Minecraft is a survival game where you start of with nothing. First you have to get some wood by cutting them down with your bare hands. Don't ask. Then you make the logs into planks, and some of the planks into sticks, and some of both into wooden tools like swords, pickaxes and axes. Then you mine up some stone and make stone tools. Then you mine up some iron, smelt it, and make iron tools. Etc.

In Minecraft, there are many monsters, such as:

Zombies. These monsters walk up to you and punch you. They're pretty easy to kill, you can do it with out a sword most of the time.
Skeletons. These monsters have bows and arrows, but they're otherwise like the zombies. They can shoot you from far away.
Creepers. By far the most annoying, these demons walk up behind you silently and then blow up, damaging not only you.
Spiders. Spiders can move very fast and climb walls, but they're less powerful than other monsters.
Endermen. The most difficult of monsters, they do the most damage, have the most life, can pick up and move pieces of the world, and can teleport. Weakness: water.
Slimes. Found deep underground, Slimes come in four sizes: tiny, which can't do damage and one punch will kill them, small, who split into four tinys when then die, mediums, who split into four smalls when they die, and larges, who split into four mediums when they die.

There are even more than that, but that's not the point. In recent times, my friends and I have been playing on servers with the modification "MineZ" which makes the game into a zombie apocalypse. Only zombies can spawn, they move a lot faster than normal, they do more damage than normal, and they have more health than normal. The idea is to survive for as long as possible.

One time I played on one of these servers and teamed up with a very nice player whose username I forgot. We had just begun to travel when a player ran by with about 15 zombies on his tail. We immediately ran with him toward the nearest city of Romero, where the zombies would disperse. When we got there, I lost sight of my ally while defending myself. Suddenly he said in the chat "NOOOOOOO" and then "You will be remebered". I finished off the zombies and responded.

"Dude I'm still alive."

"lol."

Fail. What made it even more funny is that I was murdered in the next 30 seconds of that exchange.

Sigh.
