Minecraft Player Spoofs Dead Island Trailer
The Dead Island trailer doesn't have quite the same effect when it features characters from Minecraft.
I'll admit it, the trailer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/107826-Dead-Island-The-Best-Zombie-Game-Trailer-Ever] for Dead Island brought a tear to my eye. Seeing a happy family's life destroyed by the zombie apocalypse is an emotional thing. Nonetheless, watching that same trailer recreated in Minecraft only made me giggle.
What was once a dead, zombie girl in the original work becomes a pixelated group of blocks in Dead Minecraft. It's not quite as emotionally wrenching to see that flying out of a window, in reversed time, compared to the realistic girl.
I'm sure if Minecraft were real as depicted here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/107843-Live-Action-Minecraft-Trailer-Full-of-Cardboard-Epicness], plenty of people would be crying right now. To regular humans though, Dead Minecraft is just a silly spoof.
Still, I think there's a moment in there, after the father axes a Star Trek red shirt, where he stares into his Minecraft daughter's eyes and things get a little tender. Perhaps love can exist even in a world where people try to build giant, solid gold phalli on a regular basis.
