Bit rough, could be funny with some work. Needs better acting and less of the stammering douchey 20-something shtick.

Wow, I really didn't like that. The best part of it all was the creations, I'm sure a lot of time went into that.

Past that it was so unfunny that I can't really figure out what I just saw. Was it supposed to be funny, or just a showcase for all the really awesome stuff people have built[footnote]No sarcasm.[/footnote]?

I just.. I really... That was dumb. I'm sorry but I had to say it. I hope the next one is better. Even as an intro to a series, it turned me off pretty quick.
As it has been said by many people many, many, MANY times, this was made long before any talk was going on with the Escapist about making a video series. This isn't intended to be funny, it's basically meant to do just what you said at one point: show off all the awesome stuff we have on the server.

Oi. More freaking minecraft stuff. How nice. Think I'd rather beat my head against a wall personally. At least that way I'd be stimulating my brain.

well maybe you could do that rather than making caustic comments that dont add anything to humanities sum total of understanding?

Can anyone tell me what the building at 1:20 is?

Looks awesome, but i don't have any idea how to "recreate" it.
to add to what Godavaria said the thread for it on our own forums is here [http://www.escapecraft.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3062&p=42311&hilit=dome#p42311]

It's a dome with (the makings of what might one day become) a city in it. A user named Fenreil made it. I'm not sure how he did it, but there's a neat little tool for Minecraft to make spheres which you can get here [http://perfectsphere.codeplex.com/].
I know that tool, thanks, but the picture doesn't look like the base for the dome is a hemisphere?

You see these two "pillars" left and right of that tower? If it were a hemisphere, these wouldn't be there, would they?

e: Okay nevermind, should've read the whole forum thread about that dome. Thank you very much.

After you start up Minecraft and log in, click on Multiplayer.
You can either click Direct Connect and type in "escapecraft.com", or click Add, put whatever you want in the Server Name, and put "escapecraft.com" in the Server Address. Then you can just click on it when you want to join.

AHHHH! Stop saying this is like Red Vs Blue! RvB had a coherent narrative from day one and was executed with some understanding of how film-making and editing work.

This is much closer to Show About Games Show in Minecraft.

What's the deal with people on the internet who see something good and assume it's easy, or even worse assume they have the skills to make something just as good.

Look you're obviously aspiring michanimators and I don't want to crush your souls unjustly. All the Rooster Teeth guys were in movies before they made RVB so maybe it's an unfair comparison. Just because you made a bad pilot episode doesn't mean the rest of your series won't have some merit. Unless this was supposed to be sketch comedy, if that was the case then just stop right now.

did you read the posts by Haxx? they explain why this is a bit sub par.

why yes i am a nerd. but id rather be a nerd than some kid on the internet who gets his kicks from "Baiting" people with comments so dumb that they significantly reduce the overall intellect of the internet.

No I hadn't read that,

That makes sense. I apologize.

To me, this video best emulates Monty Python: And now for something completely different, and thus I was looking on intrigued at the possibilities of such a series but having read some posts in this thread, I'm now loosing faith in this endeavour because of the variety of content these guys want to present us with.

Being brutally honest, the plan of doing sketches would work brilliantly, and maybe a brief mention of currently running competitions and challenges on the server at the end of each weekly video might be a better allocation of time for something that can easily be explained in 30 seconds rather than dedicating an entire episode to it. That way you can have better exposure of running competitions per week, rather than every 3 weeks or so and loose an entire video slot to do so.

Also, don't bother with tutorials, no offence, but unless you have someone on your server who can build the flying golden elevator from Charlie and the chocolate factory then leave the tutorials for youtube as 90% of the time, if people need a tutorial on redstone (or something), they'll go to youtube not here.

Realisticly, if you're claiming to be a community built and focused video series, just film what people in the community would do in their spare time on minecraft. Do some custom maps, maybe have a few sketch shows (with a tad more planning by the looks of you're youtube introduction vid) and parody's would also work well too given the wealth of movies and TV shows you could recreate and make humorous with minecraft and friends.

Just my two cents, but best of luck!

Basically means it lags like the ***** is unconscious followed by later waking up on christmas, so basically, HUGE LAG, game crash, rejoin server, repeat.
