Sic Burn! Notch and Minecraft Get Mad Dissed, Yo!

Beloved indie-gaming darling Notch seems to have spawn a Bizarro-world adversary. A tumblr has recently popped up entitled THE WORD OF KROTCH. Some things to notice about the parody blog: The gigantic donation button, the references to the vacation, and…a download link? Yep, that’s right. LineCraft is real and available to download!

Enjoy your satire.

why would someone do this o.o

notch is a cool guy
he took his idea to millions

id love to see it on my phone and 3ds and psv

no ipad crap tho

evrfighter14706d ago

his company is only like less than 10 people.

People have been wondering why updates to minecraft were rushed and untested. If you've been around since Alpha you'd know Notch was extremely picky about how Minecraft was coming along.

He even turned down working with Valve when minecraft got big.

PC gamers are an extremely finnicky bunch. hard to please and very vocal but have deep pockets and extremely loyal to developers and not hardware.

They are also very smart and know what it means to speak with your wallet.

He's now under M$'s thumb. tell me when that was ever a good thing for pc gamers.

fatstarr4706d ago

well i think what he did was smart business wise.
and will bring about the expansion of his franchise to new places

i have a minecraft account since alpha i play from time to time and i love the wolf addition a while back.

his ip was going to be stolen last i remember some guy made a bs minecraft and launched it and it took on quite a disillusioned fanbase.

i dont keep up with minecraft news like that but what else is going on?

evrfighter14706d ago (Edited 4706d ago )

ah ya FortressCraft that's probably the xfactor here I overlooked.

It becomes painfully blatant as to why he decided to work with M$ of all people.

I'm gonna do a 180 here and not hold anything against him for going to a company where we hear has no love for Indie Dev's.

Well MS does have the most supported OS for gaming and hardware, I think that's good for PC gamers. It unifies things. I took a Linux course and tried installing hardware drivers and such and it was a pain in the @ss. Windows has much better driver support.

I don't think Notch is all he's cracked up to be. I believe that money/power changes people. He's a multimillionaire now and can do things the way he wants.

evrfighter14706d ago

I take it you havn't seen Microsofts vision for pc gaming.

I'll wait for you to come up with a multimillion dollar idea and then NOT sell it.....

No seriously...I'm waiting....get on with it....

El_Colombiano4706d ago

I'd take my fans into consideration with every action I take. My fans would be the sole reason my business would be thriving anyway, why do them wrong?

Lucreto4706d ago

Notch is not working on the 360 version. A Microsoft developer is doing the work and Notch might have final say but he said he is not involved directly.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name45d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno44d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno44d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure44d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX64d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
