I feel like survival games has had a very long history for everyone, its probably one of the most classic gamemodes behind spleef, and its crazy to see its history

[@Benji10109]

Honestly, though spleef is older, id say survival games is more nostalgic to most. Both games are great though 👍

[@killianobrien2007]

Both were added to Xbox 360

[@RobertT1999]

I find it scary and alarming that a large proportion of the playerbase are less than 10 years old.

[@D44RK_Iced_Yogs]

That’s why we have to educate them and bring a little Minecraft and internet lesson to their life. Even if they think the game looks outdated and crap

[@NewPatek_]

We need to make a petition for a 10 year anniversary Hunger Games where we try to get everybody that was in the OG Hunger Games to play against each other 10 years later.

This brings back memories...I remember watching KZbinrs like BajanCanadian and Vikkstar play on these maps way back when I was in middle/high school. I am now finishing up my third semester of college. Time flies but these maps will always be nostalgic, especially SG1

bringing up paulsoaresjr is so heckin nostalgic. I remember watching his old alpha and beta lets plays around 2010 or so. I think in total, you, paulsoaresjr, sethbling, and the people from mindcrack (guude, pauseunpause, ethoslab, vintagebeef) are literally what make up like 80% of my childhood.

[@lordgigapiller]

watching paul say "nice" when you killed him shows just how wholesome these events were

[@ChiggaChiggaBruh]

I mean, that might just be Paul specifically. He is Paul after all

[@charlesbwilliams]

That first map will forever be iconic. Another excellent video Ant, this is my favorite you’ve put out this year!

[@kansasgarcia4422]

I can literally picture the paths and different locations in my head. I played this map so many times back in its prime. God I love and hate nostalgia.

[@Yerdead321]

It really hurts to go back and watch old Antvenom videos. I love them with all my heart but it’s such a stinging reminder of how carefree and enjoyable life used to be. I miss those times with all my heart.

[@ralphismyname4940]

Honestly Ant winning the first MC hunger games has a similar energy to Techno dominating early Minecraft Monday.

Fantastic video Ant. This video made me relive my childhood and reminded me how much fun watching yours as well as many others videos back in the day. Part of me wishes survival games was still as popular, but I know even if it did make a come back it won’t be the same. Thanks for the great video Ant! :)

[@oxidiser]

The nostalgia is hitting hard, I remember when I first picked up a controller and logged on, without a clue, looking back reminds me how I came so far

[@itchlord4476]

Wow. It really feels like just yesterday but also like so long ago. Your Hunger games content was what got me into Minecraft, and it really was so much fun! I hope the next 10 years are just as fun as these were

[@vaurix_]

I've been here since September 2011, pre-face reveal. I've seen it all first hand, I remember Survival games 1 2 and 3 clear as day. You've come so far and you should be proud of yourself! You've been an inspiration for me for over a decade now, so, thank you for being yourself and having fun. I cant wait to see what comes next, Hank

[@nullvoid3545]

same, glad skits good.

[@LaterXavier-TX]

I remember watching your pov when I was like 8 years old. It was really cool to see a bunch of creators get together and do this event.

[@D44RK_Iced_Yogs]

Thank you to all who have made this what it is. I swear, when we all get older, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of great minds come from this game. It helped give many kids a passion to do things and be creative at a young age. It’s insane. Thank you Ant, Cavemanfilms, Skitscape, Sethbling, Etho, CaptainSparkles, The Yogscast, and everyone else (not to mention the devs and even KZbin) for the wonderful times you’ve given to two generations and the inspiration to create a new Minecraft generation. I hope people don’t forget these things, it was important not just to Minecraft but the entire KZbin / Internet, you all made it possible to entertain and made platforms on the internet viable for many people, it’s utterly unbelievable.

[@Linux_MissingNo]

Ah the survival game. I have so many fond memories of playing it. It is hard to believe just how far the survival game genre have evolved beyond Minecraft

[@WhaleMilk]

Think about it: this event was the start of an entire genre of video game. And Ant was the star of the genesis of a fucking genre

[@l1ghtd3m0n3]

We need to raise awareness of how Minecraft Hunger Games created Battle Royale as we know it.

[@d.minaru7707]

​@L1GHT D3M0N it didn't

[@jakelastname3646]

Oh man, the old Hunger Games videos bring back good memories. Might have to rewatch a few (wasn't the mutant one decided by a coin flip?)...

[@ZudinGodofWar]

Mutant hunger games

[@mrmaniac3]

That's so cool, it all comes full circle. I remember when hunger games servers began switching to using the title survival games to avoid IP conflicts. But as it turns out, the first iteration in the game wore that name from day one. And AntVenom was right there at the beginning of the mini game genre.

[@mrmaniac3]

I love that "nice!" from Paul lol

[@calebhumphrey8220]

Congratulations, your legacy on KZbin and Minecraft as a whole, will always be remembered.

[@thatnflweeb7023]

I was ELEVEN when the video came out. I graduated high school, now I’m 2 weeks out from graduating college. Fuck, I feel so old.

[@NoahClevinger]

It’s crazy to think that all of this happened 10 years ago. Time sure does fly by! I still remember when you uploaded that first Hunger Games video. KZbin back then was such a treasure trove of great gaming content. It’s always great to look back on nostalgic things like this. Thank you AntVenom for all of the great content over the years!

[@brandyyn]

a nice retrospective, i was in primary school at the time, i was around 9 years old and i would always rave about you being the best minecrafter and i even made a presentation about you. I did tell you about this in our little twitch chat though :) much love taylor

[@EccentricTuber]

I remember when I first started watching you (I was 10, and I'm now 20), and I loved your SG series. I still go back and watch them from time to time, along with your Aether series. They're so nostalgic and are still some of my favorite videos of all time.

[@millershredz2044]

I remember watching this roughly around the time when it happened. I was in elementary school. Now i’m in college

[@roshankilgore4599]

Same man time really been flying. I remember me and my friends would try and make our own hunger games map in survival before you could even change your game mode. Me and my friends set up everything in the chests and did it all to set the game up haha

[@LPBHD]

The Original hunger games was actually the first thing I watched / did from a device I owned that could access the internet. I then quickly began watching and following your , skitscape and cavemanfilms and others content daily and religiously for years. Your videos and the interest it created towards Minecraft made me learn English but most importantly you introduced me to a shelter I could use for the many though times ahead. Every time I hear droopy likes Ricochet I tear up a little because I associate it with the end of your videos. I just wanna say thank you

[@TheCrazzyGuy11]

For a long time I went so hard on minecraft hunger games with a buddy of mine. We would duo basically all our games which some servers had issues with, I think mostly due to us dominating even though other duos wouldn’t get in trouble. We implemented some crazy strats for when we were under geared, using a pincher maneuver along with fishing rods to win fights. Would get dudes to chase us up a huge tree or something with a trap waiting them to get to the top, we had escape plans for everything. Was such a fun time

[@gibranrodriguez3451]

I remember seeing this, crazy to think that was 10 years ago I remember seeing this around middle school what a time to be alive in gaming. Thanks for the video and insight. Definitely excited for the future of this channel

[@X13565]

This is some serious nostalgia. I can remember watching you and thinking you interesting contender. I'm not sure if this after the event but i remember you being one of the two best shots with a bow, and using an intresting but now nerfed method - Jump shotting with a bow!

[@yoshiislaw]

I remember watching this video 10 years ago (when I was 8... wow) and the "rivalry" between you and CaptainSparklez following it which was funny =)

[@LePhillip]

The first hunger games vid on your channel is one of the first videos I even watched on KZbin. I'm so glad you're still here making content and enjoying it! Really hope to see you in MCC, I love seeing how much you still fit in with the MC community through all of its changes!

[@Deamons64]

God, has it really already been 10 years? I remember watching this when it happened. I remember trying to find servers running the game mode for like 2 weeks afterwords until someone set one up that I saw. Those early survival games maps, especially the first 2 (that second one is ingrained in my mind. I still remember how to climb the fallen sky scraper.) Are so damn memorable, and well designed. It's seriously crazy to think how quickly time flies. It's also crazy to think of all the people who competed back then. Other than you and CaptainSparklez, I don't think any of them even play minecraft anymore. It's so crazy to think back to all of it.

[@WaggaWagz]

I’ll never forget watching the first Survival Games when it came out! I love it love it love it!! Thanks Ant for posting this content all these years! ❤️

[@chiby5664]

I've been here for a while. The Ant Farm, T3C parkour map, the survival games! Such good memories of my teenage years. Thanks Ant, for all of it.

Not long after this mcsg came out and the hive came out w hunger games then baiancanadian made his first server the fridge and it all took off from there thank you for this hunger games genuinely were some of my favorite times in my life

[@BugsyBugYT]

After finishing this I'm at a loss of words. I've been watching your channel for awhile and I'm really glad that all of this happened the way it did! I hope to watch every video you make for years to come! :)

[@leosuber9475]

I was first introduced to this channel about 10 years ago and I loved it. You were probably the first Minecraft KZbinr I ever watched, and I was rooting for you back when I watched the first Survival Games. I keep watching your videos to this day, and I am glad that I have been able to witness this channel grow.

[@LightningMcDean]

Gotta say, I miss the OG Minecraft era. Growing as a preteen into the evolution of one of the best video games to ever be created, I couldn’t have asked for a better community to grow up with. Thank you Ant for all the memories and nostalgia

[@GrumpyGeorge933]

Same. Any modern map/minigame is essentially all command block or mod based. I miss things done the "classic" way with simple redstone circuits and signs

[@nerjalnosk4152]

Now that outro just made me so nostalgic of the old videos... Truth be told, you truly are a veteran of the Mc community, a titan one for sure, and I am nowhere about to let you down. Keep up the good work, but most of all, enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy, you very well deserve it.

[@Figonometry]

The butterfly effect of you winning the first survival games is astounding, I remember playing a lot of hunger games in 2012/2013 because I watched your perspective of it back then.

[@pizzaduffy]

This was a big nostalgic trip cause I was like 12 when I found you and I first enjoyed your mod reviews and than your adventure map playthroughs and than the mini games came in. Watching you play with other content creators as well on Survival Games was so fun to watch and I'll always be thankful for those childhood days you brought.

[@littlefox_100]

It's great that so many people have grown up with minecraft

[@PinePine]

I still remember watching it when it came out, somehow I found the video and I had no ideia of who was who or even what was being spoken since at the time, as a child from a non-english speaking country, my english was inexistent, but regardless the entire event was so fun to watch and then to see how the 'survivor games' thing became a staple in the community for years to come, felt like I was at the right place, at the right time to witness the beginnings of something great

[@kansasgarcia4422]

Captain Sparklez and AntVenom were my favorite KZbinrs growing up. I started playing minecraft version 1.2.5 (before the 1.3 emerald and horse update), and these guys were my CHILDHOOD. And then this event took place, and they were the final two not once, BUT TWICE. Thank you Ant for giving me such a nice childhood, and I hope you all stay safe!

[@hoangdinh5955]

Hi Ant, i remembered that whenever i came home from school i just jump straight to youtube to watch your minecraft content. Wish you great health and keep bringing great content to the younger generation. Great to see you as a part of not only me but many people childhood. ❤

[@yelloh6219]

Man I remember watching that upload all those years ago. Insane nostalgia trip especially with the use of Droopy likes Ricochet for the outro there just like old times. Glad to have stuck by all this time to see the growth and evolution of the channel over time.

[@Zander2212]

This is so nostalgic. This event, and specifically your perspective, was my introduction to Minecraft. The 2nd Survival Games is one of my favorite videos ever!

[@lanepurcell6413]

It’s sad that these days fell off I remember chim, skys, cave man’s all their videos from the old days with you ant and how those times have a changed well is sad but we all have to grow up (I mean I’m 19 now I was 11/12 when i started watching your videos) the hunger games will always be remembered as one of the funnest times if you experienced it or one of the worst if you couldn’t find a weapon off the start

[@Madison-sb4ul]

Decided to look up your channel out of nowhere, saw this video made *yesterday*. This was an amazing trip down memory lane. I started watching you at 10/11 years old when I started playing Minecraft. I'm turning 21 in a few months. Seeing that small clip of ant farm survival nearly made me cry. Hearing all of y'all's names said with each other was incredible. Thank you for being a huge part of my childhood. :)

[@evanhannah488]

I remember many years ago watching all you’re live commentaries and play throughs. THEN… you win the first hunger games 1 and 2 and the genre blew up with you at the centre. That was epic and I remember watching it back then like it was yesterday. I will always be a huge fan Ant, and from the time that I can think back to the start of minecraft you’ve always been my biggest idol, as you taught me everything I know about the game. Even now if I find a gapple in a chest I rave about it. I remember this one year I GOT 2 ANTVENOM SHIRTS FOR CHRISTMAS, man I was so hyped. I must have worn those 2 buggers for like a months STRAIGHT! I got good at parkour by watching your T3C parkour, and pvp from hunger games. And I gotta say it was pretty nice to see old Ant rattling off his thoughts again about what was goin on in those first survival games. Sheesh so many amazing things like man I remember when u broke out the Antfarm. Then the Extreme Antfarm brooo. When I think back to how much you impacted me and my friends, aswell as so many other in the Minecraft community, all I can say is that the work you’ve done is incredible. Some of my earliest memories are of u and this game. This was 10 years ago, and I’m 20 now, so I can actually say that I’ve watched you’re videos for over half of my life. You’re my favourite minecraft you tuber and you’ve cemented yourself as a minecraft legend among many of the greats. I found you’re videos through X’s as they always popped up in recommended right next to each other so I guess that says a lot eh? Anyways that’s about all I got to say for now so I hope to see u in the next comment. 👍🏻

[@ShadowGirlyz]

I’ve been watching Antvenom’s content since the early days and grown up with him. He’s truly a one of a kind guy with a special place in my mind. I love your new content

[@joenux1]

Gosh. The Ant Farm survival series holds such a special place in my heart. To hear Skitscape is doing well is very heartwarming. I give the first 3 Hunger Games videos a re-watch every so often. Truly some of the most important videos on this platform. As I sit on my Minecraft home screen, watching the slow pan of your old survival world on the Faithful Venom pack, I'd like to finally thank you for your continued contribution to this game and its ever-growing community! Much love Ant.

[@Rackals]

This was so cool to hear about, glad you decided to make something like this even though it's outside of your usual style.

[@vanderan]

Your SG 1+2 videos are probably my favorite live commentary Minecraft videos on the entire platform. Both of them felt like movies that I honestly liked more the official Hunger Games movies. The "survival instinct" felt so much more represented and your use of music really brought it home. It was really cool to hear out your frame of mind at the time and how it affected your career. Also, small fun fact, along with Minecraft SG, I believe another game also inspired the Battle Royale genre, well, more of a mod of a game. Arma 3 had a huge mod called the DayZ mod, and over time, different variations would be made to this mod, including one where you mostly went around, gathered items, and engaged in PvP. You can really see this inspiration in H1Z1 and PUBG. There's a really good video essay series by SovietWomble that goes into a really interesting detail about this history.

[@lantcm613]

I remember watching CaptainSparklez pov when it first came out, and then later Ants. Can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since the first Minecraft hunger games.

[@SupernovaDXZ]

It's crazy how one tiny thing can create such a huge butterfly effect. Keep up the great work man, can't wait to see where your career takes you next

[@jakekosakowski4720]

This wild you came up on my home page haven’t seen you in years you just gave me good memories bro this is the video that got me into like no joke my most played game probably every i played Minecraft literally so much 2012-2017 and it was always hunger games also factions and other small things here and there but I remember watching your ant farm survival bro you gave me good times bro I was only like 12 or sum

[@TheSweMaster]

The minecraft survival games event was one of the biggest things that happened in the KZbin gaming scene at the time. Not only did it change gaming content on KZbin but also the gaming industry going forward. Thank you Antvenom for being apart of this amazing community and all entertainment you have provided over the years.

[@proton001]

Oh my god, skitscape’s server, ant survival farm, etc, so much nostalgia lol. All of this happened when I was in elementary school, I’m now in my 1st semester of college! time flies

[@TekuJames]

Same situation here. Crazy to think about now.

[@mdfzayvin]

tbh i come back and check on the channel to see how ur doing. then saw this video and had to watch. this shit is some nostalgia right here. i remember watching this. i dont watch u as much anymore man but awesome to see ur still doing so good

[@omnisel]

I can't say I watched a lot of minecraft content, back when I was a kid or now, but I definitely remember these events and how excited I was watching everyone's perspective, and I remember being on my Mom's computer sitting around in a hunger game lobby on whatever random server hearing thunder and the ambience before having some of the most exhilarating experiences. Thank you for making those memories for me, for everybody, even if you were but a small part of it.

[@thelemonbread777]

Man. 10 years.. I remember the first three events the most. I was younger so I felt some sort of pride in watching the survival games champion haha. Thanks for keeping me entertained!

[@jordanfeatherstone5523]

I have genuine beliefs that Minecraft hunger games inspired big battle royale games

[@DavidElliottTheDM]

Ahh man, going back to my early college years here with the memories. I was 20 and wished I had a good enough PC to start a Minecraft KZbin channel. I had been following MCWB and PaulSoaresJr for about 1 year at this point. I'm 30 now and still wish I had a PC good enough to start a Minecraft KZbin channel. Edit: minor correction

[@napppann3486]

Might've not witnessed this event but hunger games felt nostalgic since the impact of hunger games back then was pretty big

[@LunaticJ]

Man I remember everyone in middle school was OBSESSED with either Hunger Games or Minecraft. Sometimes both. I remember playing a recreation of Hunger Games with friends on Pocket Edition. Kinda crazy to think there are kids who play and watch Minecraft content that weren’t even born yet back then. Good times…

[@turnipaitor]

I have so many memories from back in the console era of minecraft, battle (AKA survival games)was the only one I played with my friends.

[@endernitesbros4822]

That clip brings me so much nostalgia and joy! Gg, you’re a part of mc history in so many ways. Your vids are so high quality and you clearly put a lot of time into them! Bye

[@phoenixblaze5491]

Its crazy how it was 10 years ago. I remember being a kid at the time on my school I pad watching it instead of doing algebra. The OG minecraft buzz is surreal almost and its kinda funny that the people who LIVED it instead of just watched it kinda feel the same.

[@AdrielDoesGaming]

Holy crap, it's 10 years old, that's freaking insane! I was only 10 years old back in 2012 and now I'm 20 years old! 2012 was when I started playing Minecraft for the first time and it's crazy to me that I have been playing it for 10 years, a whole decade, and I really had some fun memories.

[@gilbertoosuna7467]

I still remember watching the first survival games with all of the people invited, such a great moment for gaming and minecraft

[@chrishull9232]

I would just like to say that you basically formed my childhood and I remember watching your channel on basically a daily basis and remember you winning the first survival games... I want to say thank you for the videos and giving me entertainment for years as I remember, I remember your mod reviews, the music video "the Miner" watching you ever since I believe I was 7 just when you began to make Minecraft videos you brought me so much joy so thank you.

[@Phil4000]

The nostalgia!!! I loved this event so much! Thanks for this video.

[@D44RK_Iced_Yogs]

Man, I love you Ant, I can’t believe it was ten years ago, I’m glad I was there to witness it even though I wasn’t old enough to understand it. All of you who curated Minecraft into a full long lasting game have my respect. Many have fallen due to dumb decisions or just leaving the community because they got bored. I wasn’t here from the very beginning but I do know when I was here for the early stages even before xbox live had the console edition, the people (like Skitscape, Cavemanfilms, CaptainSparkles, The Yogscast, Sethbling, ChimneySwift, and much much more) all had a part in giving a literal sandbox game an entire platform. Although it wasn’t much, you all have impacted every single one of the new and old players to start and continue playing a game that would’ve faded into existence many moons ago. Both the technical side and community have come a long way, I just hope we all remember where it all started. It was with a bunch of teens and young adults who tried a game one day and decided to post it to KZbin. Can’t say this enough, thank you! to all of them! Especially the ones who we might not agree with now, we can appreciate what they created and how they changed so many lives with just a few videos and helped a small platform like KZbin to grow essentially. Whether for good or bad, these KZbinrs and the new KZbinrs will always be within our hearts and will live on for at least another couple generations.

[@sulphurous2656]

Watching that footage again really shows how far most people have come in this game as far as their PvP abilities go.

[@kingjacko302]

Amazing to get this vid! Ive been watching since I found your hunt for the golden apple series on Machinma and I still remember how excited I was that you won this event (though I think you’re win in the second game was the hypest cause of the 3v1). Really awesome to get more insight about everything all these years later

[@thebushna]

This was so cool. That first survival games event literally changed my life. For so many reasons I can't fit into a comment, but it's really interesting hearing about the event & behind the scenes of the community & your channel now being 23 when I was 13 originally. Holy cow the Minecraft community feels SO different now. Thanks for making this & making great content over the years from then to now. Looking forward to what's next! 😊😁

[@zakcat5175]

As far as u vs captain sparkles, I think the biggest thing that contributed to u winning was the arrow shot at the start. If u hadn’t hit it then the fight could’ve gone either way imo

[@parascythe2178]

Man, this was a crazy throwback video. I remember watching your videos prior to SG1 and when looking back I think you actually were my first minecraft youtuber (I think it was the single player command videos cuz I was having trouble with that mod when I was 10 lol) and just stuck around. I even learned of Seananners and Captainsparklez because of how much you talked about their popularity during SG1. I've enjoyed watching your growth on the platform and seeing footage of ant farm survival hit me with so much nostalgia. Especially when u brought up NoxCrew Gameshow (totally gonna binge them now!) and those hypixel/disco redstone boss fights feel like a much different era of my life. I love your new content just as much as the old, and I hope you never lose the passion to create videos!

[@kevin8029]

That was one of my favorite videos growing up, it's cool you're still around

[@TheCrunchG]

Hearing these instances where certain events become a decade old, or in some cases even two decades old, during these times just still feels so surreal to me and reminds me of how much I've experienced. I remember Hunger Games 1 being the first real Minecraft content I ever watched on CaptainSparklez's channel, which eventually brought me here, and now it feels surreal that was 10 years ago.

[@BritneeStar]

I was there when this happened! It was so exciting. I think the first time I watched was from Syn's perspective. Also, the dead tributes spamming you guys with Mobs to direct you is actually faithful to the actual Hunger Games novels. Towards the end The Capitol released Muts in the area to lead the remaining tributes towards each other. And there was a boarder, it was made of glass. You guys were in an actual arena. This version of Minecraft Hunger Games is exactly like the real... "Real" Hunger Games.

[@Content_Deleted]

Thanks AntVenom for making me feel old and also bringing some nostalgia! I love this game's veteran community, and I love how it's been shaped over time and what it's become today. It's people like you that are a huge reason for that. Thank you, man.

[@BierBart12]

This video is so full of nostalgic names I used to watch intensely. Feels like they all just vanished The names who are still around today here weren't the ones I watched

Crazy to see how much the first minecraft hunger games had on everything today when you put it into perspective :D i still remember the excitement i got watching you as a kid

[@elanv]

Wow. I was only 10 years old and I still remember this. And to think I only found your channel again in 2015... still feels too late. Still love your content and for that reason honestly every video I see from you brings me that nostalgia of being a carefree kid in awe of the possibilities of MC. It's really just insane how much 10 years is. We love you man, and it's so great to see you with that fierce confidence and drive again! I'll keep on supporting you til the end of time.

[@theycallmeshades]

You will always be my favorite KZbinr of all time! I loved the old content of minigames and survival games when I was younger (around 2013). But now that I am older (22) I really like to listen to cool facts or watching you investigate cool happenings in Minecraft. It really has been quite a journey and I look forward to seeing the next video!

I remember watching back in 2012. I just started playing minecraft and was watching you and captainsparklez. Really crazy how long ago it was. You have always been one of my favourite youtubers, hopefully you have another good run of years ahead of you.

The very first video of yours that I watched was the TNT Olympics. It was also the day when I started watching Minecraft KZbin videos. I don’t know who I would be watching today. That 4 people cross over showed me you captain sparkles and Etho. Honestly if that video didn’t exist I’m not sure if I would still play to this day. Thank you.

I would LOVE to hear your story about Machinima. I grew up watching KZbin gaming content starting back in 2010 and was a major fan of a bunch of Machinimas creators, including you. It would be fascinating.

Remember watching that OG hunger games crazy thinking back to how all of that led to the rise and fall of so many servers and YTrs that we all have so much of our time to, even if most have moved on and hunger games isn’t really around anymore like it was from 2014-18 it was the memories and friendships made that are still with us :)

I all remember playing hunger games, it was really fun! Even though hunger games isn't dead yet, the player count is decreasing day by day :(

I miss old school survival hunger games. I once built a piston trap that opened the floor into a lava pool. I found a cavern, lured the other last guy into it, ran down a manmade tunnel, hit my switch, and the dirt floor was pushed out of the way.

God this is nostalgic. Brings me memories of “good ol days” of KZbin. My interest in Minecraft really came from this time. I was 14 when this happened and I remember watching it to this day. The commentary gameplay channels, YogsCast, and so many more. Playing adventure maps, showcasing mods. Vex’s Super hostile maps and some of the early game breaking videos. Times really have changed haven’t they?
