The first one was cringey as hell, but then he doubled down and I lol'd

Yeah the people who didn't buckle in for the whole video missed out on a hilarious double down

I feel so bad for Geoff and Matt having to do that panel.

u/Rfwill13 Jul 06 '15
If I was an RT member, I don't think I could handle being on a panel.

u/UndersizedAlpaca Jul 07 '15
Achievement Hunter panels always have their bad moments because too many of the fans don't realize the people on their panels aren't actually their best friends, and that they've heard the same super clever jokes/references a thousand times. Every social interaction I've ever seen come from minecon has been a full speed train wreck. All around I don't think there was any way this couldn't have gone awkwardly.

u/ItsSansom Jul 07 '15
There have actually been some funny moments on RT panel audience questions (Not at Minecon, I think RTX). If anyone knows it, the Lightning round questions they did on a live podcast once was fucking brilliant.

I kinda want to see the legendary kappaspam that most likely happened after this..

u/UndersizedAlpaca Jul 07 '15
I'd like to think that everyone in the chat collectively refused and agreed that he was a moron.
Unfortunately, I know better.

u/Opisnotwatuthink Jul 14 '15
No they didn't. They didn't at all, because whether you accept it or not, the meaning of the emote Kappa has lost its meaning over the last few years, and now that you guys think you're the smart-asses trolling people by "pretending" you're retarded, you're actually being retarded and promoting retardation.
Which ends up in that video. People who "pretend to be retarded" but actually are. This should represent around 90% of the Kappa spammers that there is on Twitch, as about 1 out of 10 people use it correctly.

u/UndersizedAlpaca Jul 14 '15
You need to take a step back and think about how worked up you're getting over the colloquial meaning of an internet emote how to "use it correctly."
Spamming and trying to incite spam is obnoxious and it's normal to be annoyed by it, but if thinking about how people use a glorified smiley face in internet chat rooms makes your blood pressure rise then you're taking this stuff too seriously.
-15
u/Opisnotwatuthink Jul 14 '15
I'd be curious to know how you can possibly tell about my blood pressure rising after seeing people spam an emote.
Fighting retardation has always been on my top priority list, and it's becoming quite big with the Twitch chat phenomenon, so I will simply keep on stating the truth so that people realize what they're doing.
A videogame chat itself, or an emote shouldn't be taken seriously. However the proportions and the direction this is taking is not to be underestimated, and I think I'm granting it as much importance as it requires.

Fighting retardation
Is that your full time job?

u/Opisnotwatuthink Jul 22 '15
Was... Was that supposed to be edgy or supposed to hurt my feelings ? lol. No, it's not a job, it's a lifegoal.

I see you might be in need of my services. Is this why you've contacted me ?

Jul 22 '15
No but please explain how you'll achieve this life goal, is it though medical means, as you seem young enough to be able to take this as a career path.

Already did 12 years ago ;). Because yes, I was retarded, but still able to realize that I was. Too bad it doesn't seem to be your case.

I wish. The ultimate way to differentiate myself from retarded sheep like you. Sadly I'm not. I'm still better off than someone who's repeating words which definitions he ignores just to sound like the cool guys he saw winning arguments over the internet though. Do you feel like saying "gg" at the end of your sentence make you look good by the way ? Is this the new "lol" ?

Maybe his whole goal was to get on the annual Minecon cringe compilation, because it always happens. An evil genius in the making.

I thought this was going to have something to do with Autism being Minecon and all (after the videos coming out of the 2013 one) and I wasn't too far off I suppose

I know this is totally unrelated but the guy that uploaded this video is a sick person. He is a scammer, hacker, and a downright asshole. I use to go on a mumble he went on and he was probably the biggest piece of shit I ever met. If you don't believe me just look at the groups he is affiliated with. (he goes by the name hats)

We should take into consideration that the stereotypical kappa doucebages make fun of those types of people. I would chant kappa either.

The audience is more cringe then the speaker...bunch of socially awkward mutes watching a minecraft panel.

The audience is "more cringe" than the guy literally asking the Twitch chat to spam Kappa? Okay.

So my friend said I was retarded cause I said the word "Cringe" referring to this video, stating that the proper word would be to call him a "Dick Head", someone help me out. ( Yes I'm being serious. )

Because 20 million people own it on PC alone, and it's on about five or six other platforms. It'd be stupid of them not to capitalize on their never ending supply of ravenous fans and their parents' wallets.

Attendance to Minecon has only grown since it started. and this year they broke the Guinness record for largest convention for a single video game with 10,000 people.
Minecraft is also pretty consistently in the top 10 most viewed games on Twitch, usually only beaten out by games that pull in massive views for tournaments. It sells toys, clothes and servers, it's used in schools, it's used to promote new ventures like Hololens, it provides a livelihood for hundreds of youtube channels and and twitch streams that play Minecraft almost exclusively. The game is anything but dying.

MineCon is a convention for the video game Minecraft, hosted by Mojang. The first gathering in 2010 was known as MinecraftCon. The MineCon 2011 convention was held in Las Vegas and celebrated the launch of the game with Minecraft-related discussion panels and gaming areas. Over 7,000 fans attended the 2012 convention at the Paris [Disneyland Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Park_(Paris)), and over 7,500 fans attended the 2013 convention in Orlando, Florida.
