And so it was. And in the following year of Minecon 2014, an age restriction was set in place.

"How much money do you have?"

That's when I closed the tab.

Same. What did Notch reply to that though?

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

So there's a mock video, and people are mocking them... that's gonna do wonders for their self esteem. Classy.

I really feel for the girl who is asking the creators to join her father's minecraft servers - she clearly has learning difficulties and seems like a sweet girl who's oblivious to this kind of stuff. I hope she doesn't see this video.

what the fuck.....

Yep, I hope none of them see this video, and the comments about them. This is some pretty shameful stuff.

Yeah, if I had kids into something that had a con and they went, I'd probably have the foresight to stop them engaging in a Q&A if I knew they'd get easily tripped up like this. I don't think the video's necessarily taking the piss out of these kids if it's just to laugh at the awkwardness of it all. I've seen far worse MLP-related Q&A videos with people who look my age or older who should know far better asking far stupider/more inappropriate questions.

Though I do strongly suspect just based on how some of them are talking that they actually are autistic, in which case I'd definitely at least make sure they knew what they wanted to ask those panelists in the first place (and hey, I used to be deaf so I wouldn't have sounded any more coherent at their age).

Bizarre thinking how much Minecraft has taken off, I found it sort of boring three years ago when it was still in its beta testing stages and I was a huge LEGO nut as a kid.

I also think a lot of you are assuming some of these kids have some sort of disability, when they're probably just scared shitless to be speaking not only among a huge group of people, but in front of people they've come to idolize. There may have been one or two, but mostly I saw a bunch of awkward kids out of their element.

As I said earlier, a lot of them are probably just socially awkward nerds, but I've been around enough people with learning difficulties to spot the difference.

 

[purpletentacle]

On the one hand, this is super awkward and all that jazz.

On the other, what kind of audience does one expect for a panel about Minecraft mods?

 

[MulderWasTaken]

The superkai64 kid had a case of speech jamming, so I don't blame him.

 

[Zee-Row]

What the heck is Forge?

 

[MazeHaze]

Those kids are just having a blast, and probably star struck to be talking to these people. Have some empathy dudes. I know many friends and even some of my family were similar to these kids in the past, hell, I fucking listened to Limp Bizkit when I was 11 lol. I think it is important to remember that we all sucked as kids, and we all become better people every day. Super cool that these kids got to talk to their heroes.

Whatever it is, its killing Minecraft (apparently)

LOL I can't find a Wiki that really explains it well. I'm not too familiar with PC Minecraft since I've only played the console version.

It's just a way to install mods

 

[alterno69]

Come on, they're just kids, i imagine my seven year old son standing there asking question would look just like them, a shy kid standing in front of hundreds of strangers talking on a mic to his idols, expected.

Cool kids, minecraft is an amazing game for kids.

 

[Atomic Airplanes]

I listened to it... but my eyes were dug into my palms.

 

[Zee-Row]

Ah ok, the way they got awkward reactions when asking about it made me think that Forge was some illegal launcher for the game.

 

[UNCMark]

Mocking these kids doesn't speak well to the character of the people doing the mocking.

 

[Ferrio]

GAF might as well be a middle school. Insecure bunch of asses in here.

 

[TEH-CJ]

,,,lol

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

I don't want to play Minecraft anymore.

 

[Final Boss]

Holy shit at the autism question, then the kid mocks the silence with "don't everyone speak up at once"

I couldn't tell if he was serious

 

[Seance]

I figured it would just be a video of the whole thing.

[fritolay]

superkai64 part made Tosh.O

He was seriously determined to be a little shit.

 

[Sobriquet]

I like the creeper hoodies.

Something like "I want to say a big number, but I actually don't know"

He said "I want to say I'm being humble but I don't know."

 

[Aureon]

Kids being kids, nothing particularly cringe-worthy really.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

they should have really had these kids write their questions down ahead of time.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

He said "I want to say I'm being humble but I don't know."

Ohh, that makes more sense.

 

[Broder Salsa]

This is amazing.
