My previous avatar bought to me by some rear end in a top hat was about supporting the genocide of Russians in Ukraine, I'm sorry somebody changed it to have less gravity in discussing video games (also somehow Mario and Sonic are considered better than the fecal tragedy that's Dr Who).

Minecraft may be popular, but its world is really loving bland and lacks anything to build a story off of. It's largest setpiece is a void, for crying out loud. I can't really see them going the Lego Movie route and building from its wealth of history, sets, and licenses, because it doesn't have any of that.

It'll probably just be direct translation of how you play Minecraft: A man named Steve finds himself in a barren land and has to survive by mining and crafting! Watch him create a shelter! Watch him go underground and fight off creepers! Watch the exciting climax as he defeats the Ender Dragon! They don't have to try because it'll make a billion dollars no matter what.

Bonus points if they actually put this in as the movie's end credits.

Imagine Chris Pratt doing The Meme thing he did in Jurassic World (I did not see the movie but I saw the memes on imgur so I got the gist) except instead of two dinosaurs it's a creeper and a skeleton.

It was hilarious when he was a slob and he had his legs in plaster cast and had to ask his girlfriend for snacks. I hope he'll use the minecraft movie for equally inspired performances.

Which isn't that much since kids will flock to it based on the name alone. Even if if won't have the universal appeal of something like Minions or The Lego Movie it will still bring in poo poo tons of money because kids love Minecraft.

Seriously, go look up any given Minecraft con vid and the amount of kids that are asking Notch things like "how do i get my own server" is just :allears:


On the subject of the Taletales version, i really really hope they get The Wolf Among Us Season 2 out before they start on that poo poo, it's been way to long.

Don't watch the first season, which is very bad. It improves quickly. Put it on while you do other stuff, it's fun.

I can see how a good movie could come out of the license, but it reeks of "What's popular with kids? Let's make that movie!" We need to see if they're just going to bolt on standard kids movie plot #2 or if they're actually going to do something with it, though.

This would actually be my pitch for the Minecraft movie with the lesson for kids being that some people are just assholes.

I sure am glad that PDP managed to get more than enough subscribers to watch his videos no matter what he does and still make money to not have to act scared at jump-scares.

I mean, he reached that about 10 million subscribers ago, but you gotta be safe.

I'm positive the PDP thing has nothing to do with the game at this point and is all about him. I'm sure if it was just a blank screen with his facecam in a corner talking about whatever his fans will still lap it up.

It's funny because Pewdiepie is receiving quite a bit of hate in the comments for the video, because as he says he just isn't that scared by the game. You can see that it startles him sure but he doesn't fling back in sudden spontaneous agony at being scared by a videogame. He's changed a little bit! :unsmith: (yeah yeah kotaku link whatever)

edit: And yes, I also have the new video player UI. I think it looks good! I do wish they hadn't changed the size of the player now that they have the extra wiggle room, though, I liked the size it was at in expanded mode before.

Considering that the scares are virtually identical to the ones that he's been (almost literally) falling out of his chair over for his entire career, it sounds less like the game being unusually stale and more like he's actually showing authentic reactions for once.

Speaking as a guy who has literally been paid to scare people, the number of people who legitimately react to jump scares like Markiplier or PDP or any of the innumerable imitators on YouTube are actually few and far between.

As for the new video player, I'm annoyed it completely shuffled away the Watch Later button. And reaching the speed controls is an extra hurdle now. Just an extra click I know, but it messes with force of habit.

Speaking of the speed controls, are they super choppy for anyone else? The only speed that doesn't get choppy and ugly for me is the normal one, neither faster or slower work smoothly now.

HGH
Dec 20, 2011
Ah, so it's not just me!

It's only on certain videos(and seemingly from the same uploaders...), but it does happen. Basically what'll happen is the moment I change the speed the whole browser will start stuttering up (with the video silently advancing a couple seconds at a time) until I set the speed back to normal, which is a major pain when it takes 5 seconds for that menu to even open.
Honestly I think so few people speed up/slow down videos that no one cares really. It's a shame cause it really helps getting through content on a busy day.
