I'm in the mood for a random post.

damnredditMy contribution, though it is only barely Mindcrack-related:

Play about 1:00 to 1:10 and 2:30 to 3:00 (and onward, actually).
The guy doing most of the talking (the one who sounds like a 70s R&B singer) is Rixiot, who has always had personality to burn, but this is something else. Background: They're trying to play a new PVP map on the stream and keep getting DDoSed, so during a lull Rixiot starts in "answering questions" from the livestream chat about Etho (and Seth) and he just goes on and on and on and on ... Around 2:40 there's some awesome Etho/Seth bromance going on that gave me a good enough excuse to post it here, but it's really all about Rixiot for me. <3

Minor thing, but in case anyone missed it
Monday, November 12th, 2012 04:17 pmisiIn MC's newest Mindcrack video, around 4:20 he talks about the supportive comments people leave.
"I love reading all the assorted things that you have to say whether they're inside the comments, on the Mindcrack subreddit, inside the salad..."
And then he starts talking about the possibility of a proper Mindcrack forum, which is cool, because forums are cool, but gosh, it reminds me how big Mindcrack has become, that the fanbase is splintering off into smaller groups outside of the reddit, which is the primary center for the fans to talk about everything. Between that, this Dreamwidth community, the DeviantArt group and Tumblr that I'm not a part of but will glance at from time to time, and now possibly a forum someplace else, I worry I won't be able to keep up anymore.

They even have the same initials... :(
Monday, November 12th, 2012 11:28 pmplaceblocksI'm not entirely sure how to phrase this, but it occurred to me earlier and I just wanted the thoughts of the community... I'm just not sure how to phrase it, especially because part of my thoughts on it are coming from a "That'd make a good fanfic" vs. completely based in reality. So take that with a grain of salt, but here's the question/thought: do you think Guude in any way regrets inviting GenerikB to the server? Although I think everyone loves Genny, and he's a great addition to the server with funny ideas and plots, I can't help but think that his introduction has helped speed up the demise of OOG. Bdubs now has an easy someone he clicks with really well on the server to play with all the time, who has his schedule, and who is interested and available to play the way he wants to play. In some ways, it feels like Genny has "replaced" Guude for Bdubs. (Quite literally, too. We are getting a B-Team adventure map/CTM thing and no more OOG.) Do you think when Guude met him at PlayOnCon and revised is opinion of him he had any idea this is how it'd go? (Be nice, let this guy on you misjudged... get sort of walked all over and cut out of your own headlining series in thanks...)
I don't think Guude is quite that jealous or petty, especially compared to a fanfic world where Guude and Bdubs are actually in a relationship vs. real life where Guude is well aware that Bdubs needs to make money and the B-Team sells and Genny is available to record, etc., etc., etc. He might be jealous or, more likely, sad he can't join/play as much, but I think he "gets it" to some degree. But in terms of fanfic, I find it an interesting thought... I DUNNO. But when I mentally put myself into Guude shoes, thinking, "How would I feel if I were him?" there is a lot of sadness and a level of resentment/bitterness because of the scheduling conflicts, and yet Bdubs is putting out all this tons of content with this other person... :(
