Watching these because they're so much more fun than the new ones. I miss listening to a close group of friends making each other laugh rather than a group of coworkers trying to make an audience laugh.

[@lamebrainmcgee]

4 years later, it's not better.

[@0ia]

Well put :)

[@suzannekratosmaker7484]

​​@@lamebrainmcgee It's weird, I've resented just about every new hire (starting all the way back with Jeremy) for awhile but eventually grew to like almost all of them except this last group. I've all but stopped watching their new content. To be fair I understand change has to happen and me not liking the new content is my problem not theirs but it's still disappointing. I'm just glad we have so many years of good content to rewatch, again.

[@ogluqqychess4452]

Wrong. Ive not seen a single episode past like 120 and its because I watched these when they came out, I really appretiated minecraft when it was old like this because I played it when it was still in alpha and it was the best.

"Gavin just got deaded" a Sherlock reference 2 years before season 3

[@TPGLizarD]

Its been 7 years and these videos still hold up, absolutely brilliant

[@raygc1]

God, another episode with some iconic stuff! "Fort Ray" "Jerking off in Fort Ray" "a Gayve" "Quick Scope Montage", so good! Speaking of, since I share a name with Ray, ever since every underground base I make in anything tends to be named Fort Ray. Every time, without fail. I used to put roses outside as well, maybe I need to do that again. Anyways, good stuff!

[@scjones25]

I like how each of them take it in turns to mess with Geoff and he just keeps getting more and more annoyed. First Ray comes along, and Geoff is all nice and lets him in and tells him he can use his stuff. Then Micheal comes in and Geoff tells him he can stay, but to branch off and do his own thing. Then Gavin comes along and Geoff just threatens him with a pickaxe. Then Jack comes in and Geoff just kills him.

[@suzannekratosmaker7484]

I feel like part of the reason the newer Lets Plays finally lost my interest was that the cast member's got older but they kept gearing their content toward the same age range forcing them to hire younger creators to keep things fresh and completely forgetting that their core audience grew up too.
