I Mine Mondays - 05/07/2012

@Lukeweizer: Yeah Comic Vine's Sara sits on that side of the room of madness. Good IMM & neat new video format.

Minecraft TNT

I'm confused about the new video player. (Holy crap, typing is slow). I click on 'High' quality, but it starts in 360p. I then have to change it to 720p manually. There's also no spacebar pause, and I feel like the rendering is subpar. But that could just be my perception.

Otherwise, cool?

Brad, Stone brick looks way better than stone.

Sara photobomb in the preview.

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.

Just did the same thing. The Minecraft itch is back!

Sara in glasses = babe

All these videos make me want to play minecraft

good thing diablo 3 will end that urge

Am I imagining things or did they call minecraft a game twice in this video

Either way its kind of hilarious to watch them get sucked in after the (relatively mild) shit talking they gave it when it was just on the PC.

Hey Jeff. Why do you have to disturb Brad? He was just.. mining his own business! =P

FIRE!

Umm, you bring that goddamn Genesis.

I like these stealth ILMs.

And for the last time, these ILMs better than the over-produced ILMs they used to make. I know it, you know it.

I had the same experience.

Sara takes the desk with the best view of Brad. What a surprise.

They should have some kind of Minecraft feature. Like weekly videos to check in on their progress or something.

Shitty video player still shitty. I Love Mondays still great.

Giant Bomb is on fire at all time.

You took my pun! Stop picking my brain dawg.

Brad and Sara sit next to each other? Not a surprise! <3

Why did they decide to play the 360 version of Minecraft now? It's inferior in so many ways and they literally spend the whole day in front of PCs powerful enough to play anything.

Does the new video player really not let you skip to later parts of a video and stream it from there??!?!

@paulunga: Because he probably has to review it. I'm sure if he had the choice he wouldn't be playing Minecraft at all.

I can't even look at ryan ever since 'The Incident'

Genesis marathon on Friday! ( or two hours of it whatever :P ). Ryan get your game tubs and let's blast some processes!

You mean "Minedays", right?

(Sorry if old, I couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread)

@Brad Nice Astro receiver!

I've been wanting to get a pair of Astros for a while.

>___<

So that blinking red light on the phone. How can you sit there with it blinking like that and not go crazy? Because if that was on my desk blinkety blinky blinking I would feel the need to put an end to that immediately. IMMEDIATELY. By force if necessary.

You can definitely tell it's a slow week.

For a second I thought this was a new Youtube player interface and was like "WOW THIS IS WAY BETTER" and then I saw it was just the new Giant Bomb player and I had a sad. Although bravo to whoever designed it, very clean, very easy to use, very responsive.

Minecraft TNT please! on PC or 360, I dont care.

Minecraft TNT YES!

4 Player split screen mayhem.

Gotta say I love the new player

LOL just wait til Brad finds out about stone bricks, he'll go crazy.

that "Dig Deeper" is so appropriate

Brad the Builder. 
Also, Brad is leaving to work for Mojang, where he will be forced to review every iteration of Minecraft ever released and yet to be released.

I like that Cool Baby lives on Jeff's desk now.

Were you adjusting your eye monical and swirling cognac around in fine glass while you typed this?

Since chili day this has seemed like the perfect opportunity for "How to Re-Build a Bomb"

I think you mean "monocle". I'm not sure how that's relevant though. This has nothing to do with elitism (I'm guessing that's what you were going for). It's a simple fact that Minecraft just like the Elder Scrolls games or, as mentioned in this Quick Look, Starcraft are far better PC games. The first ones because of their moddability and the last one because of better controls and higher resolution that let's you see more than 3 SCVs at the same time. I'm not a console OR PC fanboy, hence my grayed-out nickname.

Incidentally I'm not even much of a Minecraft fan either.

Did Jeff say "Bullcrap"?

THE CENSORSHIP STARTS

Go figure she'd sit next to Brad.

Did Jeff use a tripod or does he just have really steady hands all of a sudden? I appreciate the smooth camera movements.

Bring on the Genesis games! I would love another thing similar to the SNES one.

Brad is a Doozer.

Large bottles of liquor between work stations? Looks like you guys have fully moved in.

I love Sara Lima days.

Eff you, man.

Cool, new video player.

I hope they film whan Brad discovers that there is even better looking stone available.
