Ok 540p is basically the same as 480p but wide screen instead of 4:9 right?

540p is a higher resolution than 480p as it's measured by the vertical.

OK. I get it now. I totally should of known that.

I hope I'm not out of line when I plug the unofficial Giant Bomb Minecraft Server:

http://www.giantbomb.com/minecraft/61-30475/whiskey-medias-minecraft-server-part-deux/35-518486/?

Obviously it's for the PC version of Minecraft, not Xbox, but if you want to visit, our server is pretty well built out after many months of construction.

weird to see jeff and brad so into this old ass version of minecraft...

it's at least 1 year old at this point and the full featured version could run on any computer 2 feet from there xbox 360s

Keep diggin', Brad.

It's nice seeing Tony and Sara.

Brad Shoemaker and the Two Towers.

I'm with Jeff, the underground is where it's at.

Sara must be distracting.

@Oldirtybearon: Yup, all the videos on Gamespot look like crap as well... it's like they run with software rendering, maybe there is a way to change that somehow/somewhere?

It'd be nice, but I doubt it. Something tells me the days of crisp quality visuals on this site are done, considering even the premium subscribers are forced to view this utter shit stain of a video player.

New media player! YAAAAYEEEE

Look at Sara in the background... being all busy... comic vining... You go girl

Hell yeah Genesis party. Someone bring a Menacer.

Video of installing a new video card! We demand it!

is the new video player bad or is it just changes?

leave it to giantbomb to make me totally want to play minecraft

If you're socially inept around women, sure.

Putting in my vote for a Genesis Throwback TNT. Make my dreams come true, GiantBomb.

I demand Brad only play Minecraft with that hardhat on.

Watching Brad slowly descend down the minecraft rabbit hole makes me feel all giddy inside.

Dat vidya player.

Edit: Also, seeing Jeff and Brad's Minecraft levels progress for a week would be cool!

@wisdumcube: Same here. Us Minecraft fans deserve some representation on the bomb squad :P

Man, Datura, the plant, is some weird shit.

Nothing is crisp in 720p like it should be. There's still aliasing on things like text that should not have it. I hope these are unintended side effects and will be fixed soon.

Also, this video player looks great but behaves poorly. Gone are the abilities to use the spacebar to play/pause and double click to maximize/minimize. Two features I used all the time.

Ah man this is a weak week but next week there's Diablo 3, Max Payne 3, Game of Thrones, Sonic the Hedgehog Ep 2, Dragon's Lair on XBLA and Mario Tennis for the 3DS. I guess none of the publishers really wanted to go up against Minecraft.

OH Brad, you could have just used world edit to change all that cobble to smooth stone.. oh wait. never mind. 

Oh gawd, Brad is in deep. I never expected any of the bombers to build a goddamned castle.

Not that I'm against it, mind you. Keep it going. And do a Minecraft TNT.

Good to see that Brad is totally into Minecraft.

I think Brad has fallen down the XBLA rabbit hole this year. I bet all his GOTY picks will be XBLA games.

Why isn't brad using blocked stone?

Should've been called "I Love Minedays". Wasted opportunity...

I didn't like Minecraft when I first played it a couple years ago, but NOW I WANT TO

No way Brad. Your castle would be way better in ALL GOLD BLOCKS! Replace that shit!

The image on my video froze and the audio kept going about 2 minutes in. Clicked around and it fixed it. Hope something gets done with this player.

Minecraft XBLA was built from minecraft beta 1.6. Stone bricks weren't in the game until 1.8.

I agree with Jeff that everything should be burning. All the time. With fire.

I'll watch people play Vectorman. Sure.

I demand a quick look of Brad's Minecraft world.

I expect some Sonic Spinball and endless flailing around on the first area before rage quitting.

Still, the stage music for Lava Powerhouse is dope.

@wisdumcube: I see! Thanks.

I like the old video style better...

Brad's stupid face is in the way of me staring at Sara.

Now I really, really want to see a Quick Look Follow Up video with Jeff and Brad's worlds!

Also, the new player is slick (and seems a lot faster than the old one)!

I like this trend of creepily taping Brad doing things. In kind, I will creepily comment on how awesome Sara looks with those glasses on.

Lol at Panda Ryan @ 00:13. 

Minecraft engenders the worst behavior.  Ban all video games.

Title of the video would have been slightly more clever if it was "I Love Minedays".

Just sayin... :D

@Korwin: I prefer I DIG Mondays.

Nice video player. Easier to click stuff and very responsive.

There's a girl there. What the hell?

BRING IN YOUR GENESIS, RYAN! Sounds SO dope.

Also, I spent two hours playing Minecraft tonight, after not touching it for about a year. Thanks for that, guys.
