Minecraft and Growing Up

[@Avstn_19]

Thoroughly enjoyed reliving the nostalgia in this video and in our world together. I'm glad we've reconnected it's been fun! Can't wait to see what this new world brings us. Keep up the great work on these videos I'm about to watch your black & white video rn.

[@EmbersJournal]

@@Avstn_19 much love bro

[@PiamLendergrass]

this fr made me tear up. sometimes, you see the potential for creativity and connection the internet brings out in all of us. "it's enough to make a grown man cry".

[@darkbrumoment]

that conclusion section when you spoke with your friend almost made me cry. it made me realize that this is the thing i was trying to deny to myself all along: that times have simply changed, and i can never go back to the good old days. genuinely a great video, i hope the best of luck to you and your channel

[@EmbersJournal]

@@darkbrumoment thanks so much that means a lot!

[@barce8008]

i grew up on this game and the place it holds in my heart is huge. great video man :]

[@EmbersJournal]

@@barce8008 thanks bro! Appreciate you taking the time to watch :)

[@starry_mycelium]

This video perfectly encapsulates how minecraft changed along with us. This was an absolutely beautiful video. Thank you for posting this.

[@EmbersJournal]

I appreciate you taking the time to watch! Thank you

[@1potted_495]

I think that if you never played Minecraft btw 2012 and 2017 you missed something and just can’t understand what we lived. That was so pure.

[@EmbersJournal]

@@1potted_495 agreed. It truly was something special

[@kotowskiGames]

I think that even though I have played minecraft in 2020, I do understand what you (and I) lived

[@isaiahmayle4706]

It was a truly magnificent period in gaming.

[@Tarantula-k9j]

I remember playing during those years with my brother 😭

[@Fisher_Films]

It is hard to put into words but the first year or so of playing Minecraft felt so surreal. It truly felt like being in another world. As close to traveling through a wardrobe as I could get. It was magical and awe inspiring. Truly a special time in my life.

[@nathanielw8704]

I loved your analysis on this topic and it made me feel so warm and happy for you hearing you were able to reconnect with tha told friend of yours. I really appreciate this video and im so glad it came up on my reccomended videos section, how you dont have more subscribers is beyond me dude

[@EmbersJournal]

@@nathanielw8704 That really means a lot man thank you so much. I appreciate you clicking on the video and taking the time to watch

[@yetidk_ssb9114]

It’s the first game I played on the computer and pretty much the only one for a few years, thanks for bringing me back to those times.

[@G8SED]

Minecraft was one of the first games I can really remember playing and feeling attached to. I still remember going over to your house and playing all day and late into the night on your xbox. One really vivid memory I have is us on your couch in the living room and it was like midnight but we were still just crafting away.

[@seven.v5]

The two week period still happens to this day with my friends, but I never get invited to the server and I always find out a long time after they all played together. At a rare meetup, for example. I wish I felt what I used to feel back then.

[@adamw7777]

Didn't notice any audio issues on the first upload, the video is great. Love the way you started with the old clip and later revealed that you played with the same person again. The way you use the game music in both this and the Pokemon B/W video is really nice.

[@EmbersJournal]

thanks a ton man, the first upload was just really quiet in comparison so i upped the volume.

[@goronbro7887]

Another good video, you have a lot of content-making potential. Hoping to see your channel continue to grow.

[@EmbersJournal]

@@goronbro7887 Thanks a ton!

[@MemesRealest]

6:50 was so unexpected and caught me off gaurd 😂

[@jetblack337]

What video is that from?

[@silveruchu]

Great video! Production quality was good and the skits were fun. Hope more people see it. As someone who also started on the Xbox version back in 2012 I think you captured a lot of how I feel about the game now.

[@EmbersJournal]

@@silveruchu thank you! And those skits were pretty fun to record haha

[@redgamr27]

"Pretty much all of bedrock edition is bad..." as a (primarily) bedrock player I agree lmao

[@redgamr27]

almost threw up yesterday I went on the marketplace out of curiosity and saw a "Skibidi Toilet (official)" map made my a big mc yt creator...

[@EmbersJournal]

@@redgamr27 lmao yeah i used to be on xbox so i feel ur pain

[@redgamr27]

@@EmbersJournal yea lol I have java but everyone I play with is on bedrock so it is what it is

[@dlyn1124]

I enjoyed this, and the Pokemon video too! Both of these games mean a lot to me, for different reasons, and it's always cool to see how they've impacted others.

[@EmbersJournal]

@@dlyn1124 thank you for watching!

[@LilQU4N]

This is really well made, thanks for the time you spent doing it I loved this video :,)

[@EmbersJournal]

@@LilQU4N thanks for watching! Much love

[@piemonstereater]

3:52 Quoting the trailer here was absolutely insane to me somehow.

[@EmbersJournal]

@@piemonstereater haha I knew someone would pick up on that. Thanks for watching bro!

[@thepaintisdrying82]

Incredible video, I started tearing up a little bit near the end of this video I realize how much I miss my childhood and wish it would come back. I miss how me and my friends used to be able to hop on and it isn't like that anymore nothing is the same. And it just saddens me a little bit, But that's what time does.

[@cameronfarrelly4053]

Your videos are great, keep going, excited to see what you upload next 🤝🏼

[@EmbersJournal]

@@cameronfarrelly4053 thanks bro! I’ve got something cookin so stay tuned

[@bibrioche4193]

Great video. Everytime i hear a minecraft music my eyes just start crying by their own

[@EmbersJournal]

@@bibrioche4193 same here lol. Thanks for watching!

[@upstartmyst3734]

Very good video Considering how you generally talk and act when we played games together, this is not the tone, or atmosphere I expected when you posted this video in the server. I have to say, I am impressed that you managed to put a lot of this to video as well as you did. It is very well done. I hope you can continue to find interesting videos like these to make. I may need to hop back on the realm at some point, if I can just remember how

[@EmbersJournal]

@@upstartmyst3734 thanks bro, I’d love to play more on that realm or maybe make a new one

[@lucasjames7524]
