Feed the Crack

So, the big thing on the YouTubes appears to be Feed the Beast nowadays. Our favorite Mindcrackers and our favorite Hermits, as well as our favorite Others, are hard at work exploring all the lovely things that these new worlds have to offer us. For those of you not keeping up, so far we've seen collaborative videos from tons of people (links to their first episode): Guude, Pause, Beef, Baj, Millbee, Doc, Bdubs, GenerikB and Nebris on the Feed the Mindcrack Server; Avidya, Juicetra, JoeHills, and I'm sure other people I'm not subscribed to on the Topmass.net Server Sponsored By Joe Hills, and of course Avidya and Coestar have their own "Coe-op" of the mod pack. Whew, all those links! And there are plenty of other people playing who aren't recording, too!

So, what are everyone's feelings on all this Feeding of Beasts? I think it has the potential to lead to some great pranking, some great cooperative efforts, and some great footage. Sometimes it's a bit frustrating to watch them herp around over things I know, but it's generally pretty fun, and they're all getting better as time goes on. A few people have struck out on their own a few times, but in a world with so much to learn it seems like it would be so much more fun to have friends. It is overwhelming at times, though, I bet!

What are everyone's thoughts?

I agree here. It's all overwhelming to me, and I don't think I have any interest in it personally, but I watch a lot of these series for the interaction between the guys and their enjoyment. So I like seeing THEM being all flaily about new stuff and bantering and interacting. I just took a step back from "I need to understand this" and enjoyed it more. It's like Advanced Redstone to me, which I don't get all, either, so I don't necessarily enjoy "how to make a huge complicated machine" step-by-step. But I enjoy watching them interact, and I suspect I'll enjoy it even more once they've got all the basic stuff built and stock piled and can start doing really cool stuff vs. just building the basics.
