No offense to Seananners who I gather is a pretty well-known gamer or something but his videos don't seem nearly as entertaining as the pair of Brits. But I guess it's a matter of taste. Maybe I'll try to get through more of Seananners' stuff to see if it gets any better.GrizzlerBorno said:

Please do, He's a really funny, but very likable dude. I've gone through the first 10 videos of Lewis and Simon, and, you're right, they are fucking hilarious XD. Can't wait to go through s'more.CUnk said:
Ah, I remember My first time playing Minecraft when one of my best pals let me play it on his comp. At first I was like What the Hell? Where am I? Once I figured out how to move, I was like Okay Cool... Oh look a Square sheep, cute, hey look I can punch all its Wool off! lol then My mate said "dudette, you better go find some wood before night comes" I asked "why" and he said "you'll find out soon enough" Safe to say I died when night fell, but not by Skeleton or Zombie but by Those Green Exploding Monsters just as the sun was rising XD It was fun though
I'll admit from the get go that I don't play Minecraft. Instead I have listened to my friends who formed their community on a world about a year ago.
But now they're bored. They have abandoned their huge world (called The Lodge) because they have run out of things to do. They complain (often) that the game doesn't feel as funas it used to so I recommended they try and recreate the most fun part of Minecraft.
Their most fun part, as it turned out was the first month when five of them huddled in one house under attack from creepers every night. Repairing damage and repelling invaders. This was also when the biggest arguments occured though. Because they were stuck in their house when it came to building stuff (couldn't get anywhere before creeper attacks) there was often no option but to grief somebodys project to make space for another.
Then after about a month they got their act together and built another house. Then defences for the creepers. Then each built their own house. The houses turned into castles. The castles gained secret passageways and traps. Creepers became less of a threat.
After building about seven castles boredom seemed to be creeping in. So they built an arena, a prison, a pork factory (spawn pigs into lava cooks them I think?), a massive ship and statues of themselves. This took them months. Then the boredom crept in again but this time there were no ideas. Minescrafts limits seem to be the creativity of its players. By this time the well of ideas had run dry.
Now they wait, utterly dependent on the next update so they can build something new. But I can tell the enthusiasm has gone. No matter how hard they try, they can't relive that first experience.
