forever mourning hcjustins among us vods from his among us era :(

[megabuild]

would you be down to summarize the podcast ep briefly ?<-guy who sucks at podcasts

i had clipped some stuff for the first part already so i'll add them in!

bdubs cites steve carrell as an early inspo, because the office was popular at the time he started making videos; he also talks about watching looney tunes as a kid and says his delivery as a character is similar to daffy duck

(impulse also cites bdubs as an inspo of his own, goes as far as to say he mimicked him in some early videos)

skizz talks about bdubs' delivery and acting being part of the reason people assume the life series is scripted. they also have a nice acknowledgement of the problems that come with planning and scripting.

bdubs mentions seananners, coestar and his brother pungence as some of the first people he saw playing minecraft.

impulse say that in bdubs' first video he promises to become one of the best minecraft builders there is. bdubs gets very humble and mentions again that he's not good with compliments.

bdubs says he draws now but before minecraft had basically no creative talent, outside of music, which he had to work hard at. skizz goes on an insane tangent about his high school girlfriend drawing a pointillism piece of a lion that seamlessly transitioned into sean connery halfway across the page. i had to rewind this part a few times because i kept losing track of what the fuck he was talking about

bdubs initially kept being a youtuber a secret from his wife, who he was still dating at the time, and planned to give it up when he got married and become a contractor full time. however, when he told her about it, she encouraged him and was the person who suggested he take it full time; bdubs himself says that since it was a family business, he would never had given it up without her encouragement.

impulse talks about meeting the mindcrackers as a fan, and how bdubs took the time to speak properly to every kid at his table and give them autographs, to the point where the building actually closed up and he still had people waiting- so he took them all out and did more autographs and meets in the parking lot

they talk about beau the trucker, his streamer persona, and how that came about (it was generikb's idea). bdubs said part of the reason he switched to streaming at that time was because content creation is a 24/7 job and it was putting strain onto his wife who was struggling to take care of their two children. i can't really summarise this well as it's a personal anecdote but it begins at about 38 minutes in. he also mentioned he was very nervous about singing on stream.

this leads into them talking about the "dark moments" and valleys in the career of a youtuber, where bdubs discusses the death of his daughter ivy rose; again, i don't feel comfortable summarising this, but it's a very touching discussion of how he couldn't imagine making content again but decided he didn't want people to associate her with him not making videos anymore. it starts at around 52 minutes in.

that brings them up to him coming back to hermitcraft season 6, where the video ends! bdubs promises to talk about his onlyfans in the next episode.

we love archiving things, right? Well heres the lost 2011 8h 20m FLOB stream for charity. Saved in all its low frame, horrible audio quality form. I also boosted kurt's voice best i could and tried to fix any horribly loud voices. trust me its better this way.

There were loads of cool guests on the stream too! including but not limited to... lorgon111, antvenom, editzp, 2girls1minecraft, kitman1973, ldshadowlady, lara6683, bdoubleo100, coestar, theslowmoguys (gavin), and more.

no wonder the only obscure minecraft youtuber i remember is coestar. fucking. coe’s quest. BUDDY. YOUR NAME.

being fully aware of something about yourself but not having to face it all that often is funny when it’s like. hey you know you like the greek “ch” right. the fucking chi. with an o and an e. like I can’t seriously be like “oh haha idk why nothing fits” and then have like fifteen names that almost feel right and like half of them have part of that combination in them. buddy.

[celestialsqyd]

idk who any of these minecrafters yall are shitting yourselfves over are. back in my day it was CaptainSparklez, CoeStar, Yogscast! Dream who? fuck man, the times start coming and they really dont stop coming

[creatiousclick]

I'm kind of interested in making some Mindcrack posts about the funniest podcast moments, is anyone interested in that?

[zisteau]

[ghastaurey]

team space lets go

This video is over four years old, the clips in it are from 2010-2014, many of them before the Mindcrackers had proper mics or recording software, before they knew how to edit and make thumbnails, before they could upload above 360p, before they had a lot of subscribers. They weren't polished or carefully planned, but they hit me in the heart. I laughed, I cried, I remembered, and I relived every Mindcrack video I ever watched.

This is a beautifully heartfelt and hilarious video to anyone whose seen Mindcrack, and a complete mystery to anyone who hasn't. This is every single pivotal moment rolled up in one.

Goodbye, Friday Night Productivity

I was supposed to be super productive tonight, but my favorite streamers are playing ALLLLLLLLL my favorite games ALLLLLLLLL night. So screw doing important things. I’m going to watch these best boys play so many games—and it shall be GLORIOUS. 

Best of all, they’re playing Rainbow Six Siege for the first time in months, AKA the game that inspired Hibana. I’m hype!
