I know that was just because Notch is a fan of Molyneux, but whenever someone brings this up I like to picture Peter Molyneux as some kind of malevolent spirit who does nothing but give bad ideas to game designers who are forced to implement them.

Eiba posted:The great thing about the Yogscast is, at first it seems like Simon's a bumbling idiot and Lewis is a relatively dim straight man, and they make for a great comedic pair... but as time goes on you eventually realize that Simon isn't dumb at all and he's really just constantly acting silly to mess with Lewis (and the audience). I think Lewis is in fact as charmingly dim as he appears, though. This is exactly why Yogscast is hilarious (sorry Xephos). One of the few YT channels that deserve over a million subscribers and however many hundreds of thousands of views they get on each video.

waffle posted:Wow, that headline is way more adversarial than the actual quote is. Though I really don't think Yogs did that much for Minecraft's success, as far as I've seen, only the minecraft forum people and us watch it, really. At least, I know a few groups of friends who all play Minecraft, and none of them know what Yogscast is except me (and I only do because of this thread) Simon and Lewis were almost certainly kidding around, but I think you underestimate the Yogscast's success. They're consistently some of the most watched gaming videos on youtube.

So I hadn't actually read the credits themselves until just now, just read people bitching about them. I don't think it's that ridiculous - maybe not terribly profound, but at least it tries to encompass the magnitude of the Minecraft experience without giving in to the temptation to give it a shoe-horned in story at the very end  Personally I'm just super excited for release so mod makers can start doing their thing again. That's when this game will really start to shine.

Test Pilot Monkey posted:I think notch's sarcasm detector is broken. I think this is it pretty much here. I feel like at least some of this may be due to a misunderstanding born from the attitude we have towards Notch and Minecraft here on SA (and as far as I can tell everyone involved in Yogscast is a goon or was in the past). What seems funny when we're joking among ourselves seems a little less funny when it's exposed to people outside the community. It's the same thing with all the drama over mods. On SA there's a culture where we resist taking anythings too seriously, especially anything involving video games and nerd stuff, which probably translates to seeming like assholes when you're in the real world with people who don't "get" it. Not saying Xephos and Honeydew aren't idiots for acting like that, if they really did, but I honestly doubt there was any malice there. God I wish we could stop talking about this bullshit

Okan170 posted:Coming back to the game after quite a while away, I have to say I'm a little confused. About a year ago, it felt like the game kept expanding in its scope, letting me find new ways to create and sculpt the world. I have to wonder if some of the angst directed at the "end" of the game stems from the way it feels like it almost belongs in another game. I agree with this pretty much 100%. I feel like my dream mod at the moment would be to make "The End" into something that isn't the actual end of the game. Get rid of the boss, put a cool new ore or item or something there instead. Then it becomes another fun place to explore, not some kind of final point of the game.

Shadowmorn posted:I actually like The End, i just wish it had been bigger/more stuff. This is the same way I feel about both the Nether and The End. The more I play Minecraft, both with and without mods, the more I feel like I should just make my own mod to make the game exactly how I want it. I guess that's how most players are going to end up "playing" the game - by making it their own.

I get the feeling like this was the only way Lewis (resident Technic pack apologist) could convince everyone else to join in an SMP technic pack server. The Honeydew skin is pretty adorable though. Honeydew is even a pretty good pony name.

There's a lot of janky things about Minecraft but the portals make perfect sense once you know how they work. The main thing to remember is this: When you travel to the Nether for the first time, it *doesn't* place the Nether portal exactly where it should be. It places it in the nearest clear space to that point. This is not a mistake or an error, it does this so you won't die from being surrounded by netherrack or lava when you exit the portal. If you want to return to your original overworld portal rather than let it make a new one corresponding to the new position, you have to build a second Nether portal (or destroy the one it created for you and rebuild it) in the point corresponding to the original overworld portal, which usually means digging into netherrack. To find the point, simply take the co-ordinates of the overworld portal and divide them by 8. That's the point in the Nether that you need to build the portal.

I don't think Notch sees it as something to be "fixed". I'm pretty sure this is exactly how they're supposed to work in the vanilla game. There used to be a mod that let you put a sign on the side of the portal and write in the co-ordinates you wanted it to link to, but that hasn't been updated since pre-beta.

He probably meant women, seeing as Sweden, afaik, never had laws banning ethnic minorities from voting (probably because they're almost all white people). The N-word was a photoshop in poor taste - you can't actually edit tweets, so the "amazing bigotry removed" was in there from the beginning.

I gotta say, I would watch the hell out of a documentary on the Yogscast, or at least a proper in-depth interview. I want to know how a bunch of goons who met through a WoW guild have coped with falling backwards into piles of money through filming themselves playing video games for the internet.
