A very motivational video (imo)

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

A very motivational video (imo)

Post by epicasian »

Not sure if any of you have seen this, but it's a proof-of-concept for the story of Mojang. I found it to be extremely motivational; but I cannot dev anytime soon thanks to freaking finals :| .

Yes, would like to see that made into a whole documentary - but I disagree with the whole funding system, why should I contribute to have something made that will make a fortune in advertising and make Notch a fortune in sales.

That was an awesome video. It indeed has a very clear message.

It doesn't matter if you have no team! GET TO WORK! Make it happen!

I'm still on the fence whether or not I want to buy MineCraft. It's pretty cool, but I doubt I'd play it a whole lot. The problem is I have a hard time not contributing to such an awesome team.

This was highly needed, brilliant! Notch is such a cool / inspiring guy, so's the rest of the company :]. Now I really want to make something and COMPLETE it for once!
I remember when I used to be into nostalgia.
