Because we haven't had one for a while. :)

So, what's on your minds? Observations, squees, general randomness, whatever you fancy having a chin-wag about.

Well I've been loving these Kinetic Typography video. They're really cool.

I love the variety of creative fan-content we get.

[pink_sheep]

I do graphic design and we had to look at these, they look amazing I can't wait to find out how to make them xD all the typographic videos will be made!

The person who made this made a timelapse of him creating it though, probably took 5 hours for that short clip...

Oh man, I've been loving these too, great they're looking back on some old favorite moments.

Along these lines, there have been some pretty cool animations lately that do a similar thing, just using pictures instead of words:

General randomness - I have jury duty tomorrow. Woo? Also, I just got back from a Star Trek convention. I now have a photo with Jeffrey Combs. He's awesome.

Observations - The kitten dislikes me leaving.

Actual things related to mindcrack. Writing another short thing, because something popped into my head and refused to leave until I write it down. So also woo!

[guiltyshirts]

Woo! :D

I've been trying to write some more myself, squishing a few observations and ideas together to make a new bit of Altverse.

Speaking of fic, I've fallen into the trap of starting projects I never finish. I have the beginnings of two I started weeks ago, and last week started a new one that I'm already stuck on even though it's a silly one off that shouldn't even be hard to write. I don't know how you turn it out so fast. *goes to try to poke at it*

[isi]

I am so behind on videos right now, but some things I did enjoy in the past week...
-Beef's misadventures trying to find a horse, and his attachment to a dog along the way.
-Beef and Guude's collaborations on FTB with Guude programming a lawnmower turtle for Beef. Why are these two so funny together?
-BTC's subsequent "prank" on Guude upon discovering Guude's strong negative reaction to the wiggly moon worms, and Guude practically begging Etho to get rid of them.
-Zisteau's second death in Inferno Mines. :o
-The very special episode 29 of Mother 3.
-All the Surgeon Simulator madness. The game used to kind of freak me out, but I'm glad I managed to get over that, because the videos really are quite funny.

[guiltyshirts]

One way or another Beef has been causing a lot of feels. Why must he be so awesome? *sigh*

And Zisteau. I may have squeed a bit at the music he used in the montage during FTB - the same music Kurt uses for his KSP intro.

[pagat]

I really feel for Guude about the moonworms. They freaked me out a little at first because I have an actual full-on panic attck phobia of caterpillars, but I'm more on Beefs side now, they're kinda cute. Maybe it's because they're more grub than caterpillar.

Beef and Guude trying to play with the turtles gave me the giggles bad.

There was a tweet of Pause cuddling Zelda that made me 'awww' something fierce.

[(Anonymous)]

I would have to agree with Guude's reaction. I hate bugs but spider are the worst *shivers* but those bugs were just plain gross when they started moving and when they squished.... To much detail to the living things gross! But I also agree that it was really funny to watch someone else freak out over bugs and not have it be me :P lol Etho and his dried up worm stories. I'm glad some people are fine with bugs...... They can get rid of them for me :)

Weekly Squee: Finding out about BTC's love of caramel.
Made me want to write a fic, but I cannot think of a plot line! It's so aggrivating >-> I've asked so many people for help, but no one can think of anything because 'they don't think in fanfic world'. *theyaretoosarcasticsometimes*

[pink_sheep]

BTC roams about or builds a portal wrong causing him to jump into a alternate mindcrack candy land xD

Plot bunny?

[scaredykitty]

BTC gets finds his way to the actual Candyland, and gets stuck in a river of caramel until Zisteau finds him? :D I'm not sure. Mmmm candy. (I might be hungry)

[pink_sheep]

I have a college interview tomorrow m freaking out about ;( keep having dreams of being rejected - energy juice tomorrow...

All the videos x3 especialy the group pvp map that was awesome very looking forward to part 2, poor zisteau though at the end xD

Etho the worm killer..

Millbee hasn't been streaming much... Makes me a sad bunny.. I love his streams :( he is welsh so his streams are at decent times for a scot like me :3 godi love millb's...

[guiltyshirts]

The best part of the group stuff was Bdubs sparing Guude's life. And Baj getting picked last and just walking off the edge.

[(Anonymous)]

I was kinda sad when Zisteau couldn't/didn't pick Kurt :(

[nekofan]

Ooo! Hope it all goes well!! I'm sure you will wow the college :D
Talking about getting rejected, I'm doing my first proper audition for a play tomorrow.
Well, I'm not going to be fully rejected as I need it for my BTEC and there's only going to be about 20 people in the cast and we're doing A Chorus Line... but I'm still scared!
Doing an american accent is so hard for an englishwoman who sounds more like she should be australian sometimes D:

[theropod]

I finished my terrible assessment at long last! - And have just now realised I left in a colloquialism I really shouldn't have before handing it in. I'm seriously hoping that the marker won't take points off for me calling the pylons for a major power line upgrade 'great big dirty sticking pylons'...I was in a mood while I wrote it >_>

Been loving all the Surgeon stuff from good, the space thing was just great.

Just finished watching Zisteau talk about Thorbert Magicfizzle. Makes me wish my DnD game for Sat hadn't been cancelled, I have a real hankering for my dwarf girl now : /

[guiltyshirts]

The word 'pylons' in that sentence sounds like it should be a euphemism for something. XD

Space surgery was just brilliant. Dr Brraagghh has to be my favourite though.

[themiko]

I'm enjoying Kurt's Truck Simulator a lot! It's so funny :3
And Beef, definitely Beef! I love how he uses music now, adds a nice touch.
Zisteau's Thorbert story got me quite interested in D&D I might look into it a bit.


Regarding reallife: I bought a Yukata (light japanese kimono you wear around spring/summer) and it's really awesome! The thing is, there are not that many occasions you can wear one here in europe without totally standing out. Which is why I was even happier to find out that there was a japan-themed meet-up planed for the 27. Mai in my town.
So far so good. As it turned out weather forecast predicted rain (70% chance) and general coldness for said date and in case of rain the meet-up would be canceled. Everyone one the attendance list was therefor send an e-mail and was asked to vote if the meet-up should be rescheduled or not. The new date being the day after (28.) with a predicted 20°C and 20% rain.

For whatever reason the vast majority voted NOT reschedule. (????? WHY?)
Guess what. It rained. And it was cold. Meet-up got canceled and now comes the worst part: Orga failed to inform people in time!!!
It was obvious since thursday that the weather would be awful! And many people posted on the forum that they'd come from a nearby town.
And they still wrote the mail to say that it got canceled 3 hours before the actual meet-up!!!
UGH! I don't get it really. It got rescheduled now anyway so?
Some people were obviously not thinking, or only thinking about themselves.

Had to get this off my chest, sorry for rambling =/

[pink_sheep]

I've always wanted a yukata.. I hate you

*with much love and cookies*

[nekofan]

Oh. Here's a question for you guys that just popped into my head.
Anyone living around London and going to/wanting to go to MCM Expo? Just wondering as I am going and heard that a couple of people from the subreddit are too.
Just thought I'd ask ^^ :)

[pink_sheep]

I so do.. Beig from Scotland it's difficult to get down but If I can I will mention in advance >.

[pagat]

Oh no I just got to Zisteau's Mindcrack episode talking about his DnD character. I used to play a little myself, so that's cool to hear about, but more importantly! I love hearing writers talk about their characters. Like, just listening to him talk about the world building that he already knows so well inside his head, and all the funny little details about the characters. He's so into it and! And! Writers! <3

[theropod]

I know right? I love hearing about it too X3 I can't wait for all the little stories!
