Well mostly people view 12 year olds as young, ignorant, and immature. Therefore it's a common stereotype. Also people tend to find them annoying since they don't know much about the internet and come up with alot of unfunny things and overuse jokes like "arrow in the knee" or "rickroll", thus killing the joke immensely. And grammar nazi's don't like them because most tend to "t4lk lyk dis". Not to mention no one likes a squeaky voice blazing their headphones and/or speakers. And most 12 year olds overuse "your mom" or "retard" or "gay" since they've been freshly introduced into the word, so alot of people view them as annoying, therefore being called 12 is being called annoying/stupid/ignorant.

So they increase the price and put a 1.0.0 label on some artificial milestone in the development, 'releasing' the game while it's still largely unfinished?

That's not how game development works, and is almost certainly a moneygrab.

If you were to read a single long, well thought-out post in this thread, I recommend you read the one I am about to type. There will be no tl;dr, so either read it or not. Don't read specific parts and treat them as if it's all I said. I may say things that are flawed, but if I do, read the whole post and THEN point them out so I may correct myself. Let's begin our adventure in deconstruction.

First off, that video review was a satire. It means it was supposed to be a humorous bash on the game while pointing out serious issues. You are all taking the wrong parts too seriously, although the reviewer is actually serious on a lot of issues, and just uses extremeness to emphasize them.

Secondly is the validity of the statements expressed throughout the review. Almost everything the reviewer says to bash the game is absolutely true. The final release is a cluster****. Name me one other game hyped as much as Minecraft that has had such a buggy, incomplete release. It's the final version. It is no longer in alpha. It is no longer in beta. It is Minecraft 1.0, the final version of the game. The launch version. The one you've all been waiting for. And it was a huge letdown.

Being a letdown leads to my next point, which as touched upon above is the game's incompleteness. We were promised many features. They weren't added. Stop trying to deny that Notch is lazy. He might be the big man, but he's also not very good at making his own game. Every insult aimed towards him was justified in a way. If you look at it in a non-comedic light, he actually does go on vacation often. He barely does any significant work. He is lazy and should not be given as much attention as he gets. He should not be the millionaire that he is.

The direction the game is going is also something I would like to mention. It was also discussed in the video. I, too, believe that Minecraft has lost all direction and is currently on a very dark path. Notch's recent behavior has only fueled this belief even more. The game does indeed have many aspects that are boring and these aspects COULD BE IMPROVED, but they AREN'T BEING IMPROVED. What excuse do you have for this? What ****ing excuse do you have for the devs not taking advice and improving gameplay aspects? The community constantly praises the devs for listening to the community, but they rarely do anything based on popular opinion. That is complete and total garbage.

I know there's two definite ways most people will respond to this post. You will either use your mental defense mechanism and ignore all information I've presented and regard it as irrelevant, or you could also actually read it and then bash me as hard as possible with vague counterexamples. Either way it doesn't matter. I spent about fifteen minutes writing this post and it doesn't matter. Nobody is going to be convinced by me, so I'll just treat this as wasted time and sit back and watch as you morons continue to fall to stupidity and ignorance. There are ways you can improve the condition of both the game and this community, but nobody seems to care enough or realize enough to try.

Thank you for your time.

(Also I was typing this in a frenzy due to the amount of disagreement I was having, so my grammar isn't very good. Sorry for that.)

To all the people saying the Yogscast were unreasonable in asking for financial help and expecting the autograph area to be set up beforehand...

In every convention I have ever even heard of, if you invite someone to do panels/autographs/etc as a Guest of Honor, you treat them like a Guest of Honor. In other words, you pay for their hotel rooms at the least and possibly help with the airfare if they're traveling from halfway across the planet, and you make sure the areas they're working in are set up beforehand, so that they can do what you brought them there to do: provide entertainment and make your convention look good. You hire grunts to do the gruntwork, not the GoH's. And you certainly do NOT sell the rights to THEIR intellectual property ahead of time without their permission, and you do NOT go posting libel on Twitter even if you're drunk.

But it should come as no surprise that Notch went and jumped in headfirst without having any idea, planning, or structure as to what he's doing, in regards to running a convention. That's kinda his modus operandi for everything, isn't it? Jump/tweet/speak first, think later? I've seen amateurs with more professionalism than him.

It's you. You are ruining Minecraft.

▬▬▬▬▬♈▬▬▬▬▬

☆ This is NOT first come, first serve. I will pick requests I am interested in working on first, although I will look at requests chronologically.
The list below may give you a vague idea of where your request might sit in line. ☆

[color=#755075]

• I might have a tendency to pick female skin requests over male skin requests, if there are any.
• I will usually make skins without armor before skins with armor.
• I will usually make human or humanoid skins over monsters, aliens, or other things.
• I might pick simpler skins over more complicated ones to save time for other skins.
• I love animated characters (various cartoons and anime).
• I accept (and admittedly like) the touchy subject of skimpy clothing (so long as it is not nudity).
• I will accept furries.[/color]
• I.
• Like.
• Purple.

☆ Please be polite, and try not to rush me. ☆

☆ I will skip over a request if I can find at least one decent version that someone else has already made. ☆

Here's our latest video, it took a FREAKING while to build everything!
