Hello guys! I know I haven't been around much; you could blame real life and/or other fandoms, or you could blame how well behaved and active you've all been. ;) It's why I halted the Friday posts - you guys seemed to be making enough content on your own!
Just a quick reminder: whenever you can,
tag your posts. There's a LOT of tags in this community, and they exist for a reason - to make it easier to find content later! Learn about the Dreamwidth tagging system
here.
There are category tags for various things: fanart, fanfiction, discussion (for various topics relevant to Mindcrack not necessarily tied to specific videos), prompts (prompting fanworks), observations (reactions to specific videos), meta (for topics about this community itself), primers (for introductions to LPers - check them out sometime, they're fantastic and we could use more), "member LPs" (if you make an LP, video or photo/text, that has something to do with Mindcrackers, that's a kind of fanwork too!), "delicious sound bits" (for voice-related squee), and "podcast chat" (which is self-explanatory).
...There will be a UHC tag as well, I promise. There is also an "ultrahardcore" tag as well for all of your UHC needs.
You should also tag for people involved in your posts whenever possible. There are tags for the vast majority of the Mindcrackers, as well as tags for various Hermits, Fanserver members, Mojangstas, and Others like Amlup, Vechs, and Cleo. Anyone can tag any posts with tags that already exist, but I am the only one who can make new tags, so if any are missing, please let me know!
For sanity's sake, you can skip the individual LPer tagging if it involves a huge group event like UHC or the Trial.

Recently, the concept of restarting Group Rewatch has taken hold in light of the return of CobbleHaterz and UHC, and I happen to agree! For those who don't know, every other day we'd post about an hour's worth of old cooperative content, and thus get through older series together. It was a way to find content you hadn't watched before, support creating cooperative content, and maybe even learn something about older versions of games!
Here's the old seasons, to give you an idea of the format and what we've done so far
1: Pause and Mhykol (Mashed Potatoes) take on Super Hostile Spellbound Caves2: Nancy Drew Cooperative Ultra Hardcore (and
2.5, which is the second season of such)
3: OOG Portal 24: CobbleHaterz Seasons 1-35: VintagePause Lethamyr6: Race for Wool (a series of matches from the Direct Fire days)
Would you guys be interested in bringing this back, and if so, what content would be appropriate? Ideally it would be content that's at least a year old and is cooperative in some form with multiple Mindcrackers (though Mindcrackers + others would be okay, like MC vs. Silver or Vechs Enters, Chaos Ensues). Toss your suggestions into the ring!
