The Great Big Minecon Video Post

A possibly futile attempt to get a bunch of links together, because there's probably going to be a lot. XD Pop a comment here with a link when you find something.

Minecon 2012: Behind the Scenes - just at the end, includes a great moment of Kurt meeting Notch.
 
Mindcrack in Paris - a rather damp walk to the Eiffel Tower.

Just peeking on Twitter for a few mins and got all of this:

Doc's heavily edited and totally wonderful vlog - includes JL Zipcode dancing like a derpyface, Cubehamster being a giant, Doc meeting Notch and Jeb, and lots of other goodies

More Doc vids: The unedited version of Doc and Guude meeting Notch, Skrillex at .party()

Randoms: Doc watches Bdbus' support of diet cola, Genny's party tricks

Official Gamespot recordings of panels: Mindcrack and Redstone. (Did they record the mapmaking panel BTC was in?)

Relevant Twitters with relevant pictures that someone else should consolidate: Pyro, JustVan, Marci (who was a volunteer)

On Doc's vlog you can see just how packed the room was for the Mindcrack panel.

Ooh, the Doc vlog was wonderful. Completely lost it at Pause's interactions with Woody and Buzz.

Wow, nicely done! I'll keep my eyes peeled for any that pop up that haven't been listed but I think thats them all so far!

Has no one posted the Craftsman Collective video yet? It's a bunch of random, fun footage of the Mindcrack guys.

And here's an extremely random but hilarious one I just found linked on the Reddit. Genny, Bdubs, and Pause flirt with Zhuria.

Nothing big, but Kurt posted this one-day FLoB episode where he gives a quick recap: http://youtu.be/ZiArdYnlYY4

Yeah, I think it'd be good to look at the first videos everyone makes, since they'll no doubt be talking about their experiences. BdoubleO has one up that I'm watching right now, and the heartfelt way he talks about meeting all the fans... <333 Super sweet.

He's talking about Minecon now on Cocktail Tuesday too.

And BizareJelly5 just posted this Minecon video that I strongly suggest you guys watch. ;)

Aww Kurt <3

Pyro's 25 minute vlog. <3 A part near the end really stood out to me, where they're all in the lobby after the convention saying goodbye, everyone hugging and bro-fisting. Aww.

To actually attempt to respond to all of this, I'm noticing a themes in the way the Mindcrackers reacted to the con. One is a sense of scale: there were way more fans there than they were expecting, and I especially loved Bdubs' comparison to the greater community. There, a few hundred fans was totally overwhelming (in a good way), but then think of the many thousands of subscribers total that the guys have. Kinda reminds me of that thing from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that makes you realize just how massive the universe is, and your brain just implodes from that experience because you can't handle it. Another word I'm hearing a lot of is "humbling." Again from the amount of people who recognized them, but also that video of Doc meeting Notch comes to mind. Just, Doc in general. I'm smitten by the amount of sincerity that guy has. And since Ms. Mod brought it up in the other thread, Pyro. You can especially see it in his video, that he's like the kid with boundless enthusiasm, having a great time the whole way, and it's kind of adorable.

Yeah I just watched it, he's loved it :D That end where they all say goodbye, so sweet. Bdubs being swung around by Pause before hugging, I think that might have been my favourite part <3

Not exactly Minecon but its the London Meetup and Pause and Guude are, well, buying toys, it seems! Or just browsing.
