  2. That "Achievment Hunter Q&A" was really weird... quite freaky and creepy... :p
    How? What happened?
    I think it was great, and certainly better than E3, I think.
  3. I would have loved to go, however I am a lazy man who does not wish to fly on a plane from Canada all the way over to London just to see some famous people and have some fun. Gaah, I might as well just get on Mumble and talk to people that have the same interests as me rather than pay all this money to go to a small festivity. =P

  4. Yeah it is abit pricey... Food is ridiculously over priced

    I'm loving it though.... But that might be because I'm here all expenses paid by Microsoft...

    Please don't hate me!

    I'll be around tomorrow again ofc, I'll be in a bright red "sumo digital" tshirt

    Just yell if you see me!

  7. In London it doesn't really have any meaning, but I agree that it is a bad idea, since there are Americans, who go there, too.

  8. a perfect way to waste money and time when we have the internet and friends :)
  9. Why would they not? What's wrong with the date?

    I'm going to watch today as well! And I need to watch back the mapmaking panel. All streams crashed 5 or 6 times yesterday.

  11. For those of you attending, I'll be working the queues for the meet and greets, bright yellow shoes :)
  12. That was awesome. That was absolutely awesome. I highly recommend everyone who missed it to watch back the upcoming features panel before everything gets spoiled. Heaps of information about 1.9 and the upcoming PE updates. Much, much better than I expected, it was incredible.
    Sky, get onto updating your 1.9 thread! ;)

  13. Over this hour, during the Minecraft Team - Behind the Scenes Panel, Searge and Grum explained how they're making it easier to implement structures and blocks with multiple models into Minecraft.

    Searge demonstrated how his 'Mystery Block', which is now known as the "Structure Block", works.

    Meanwhile, Grum was talking about how he's making it less labor-intensive to add blocks with multiple models, like fences.

    If you want to hear all of the details, go back about an hour from now from the live footage of Minecon.

  14. I missed that! That gets added to the custom map panel then, for things I need to watch back!
    That super famous YouTuber in Korea answered a question of mine! :D
  15. Here's a reason why I won't not go to Convention...
  16. that is great.
  17. Wow... I didn't even actually go there, and yet... this was one of my best experiences of the year. It was incredible ; w ;

    Also, figured I would share my haul for the 2 days, bearing I mind I was working for the Sunday, so I never got much chance. (Some videos I got will also follow)



  19. Yeah, that was quite terrible. On the other hand, though, there were some pretty great questions as well.
