This past weekend, Notch flew into town to christen his new home away from home with the mother of all housewarming parties.

And judging by the pictures, it was a big hit. Among the attendees were John and Brenda Romero, Tim Schafer, Respawn's Vince Zampella and former Blizzard chief creative officer Rob Pardo. And it wasn't just a party packed with gamers, quite a few celebs showed up as well, including Selena Gomez and DJ Zedd.

And yes, Notch now hangs out with Selena Gomez.

 

[Frecklestein]

All of this because of Minecraft, god damn. Livin' the indie dev life.

 

[Goldenroad]

Wow! That view!!!

 

[eXistor]

Funny to see the "gamers" are way more familiar to me than the so-called celebs.

 

[xxracerxx]

All that stale candy...yuck.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Wow, amazing view.

 

[Coconut]

Meh, Selena Gomez is pretty easy to hangout with the broad is down to clown.

 

[Zareka]

I might be mistaken since I read this years ago, but didn't he start as one dude in a room making Minecraft? Like, damn. He's come a loooooooooong way.

 

[Icyflamez96]

This guy on the right looks familiar... Who is that guy. Martin Garrix?

 

[Teggy]

Man, I should have been a game programmer.

Spoiler

 

[maquiladora]

nice

 

[Reg]

 

[bigwinnerx]

Not that he needs anymore accolades or congratulations, but, good for him.

 

[Bubbavelli]

Notch lost unless he greeted people like this

 

[Cream]

Meh, Selena Gomez is pretty easy to hangout with the broad is down to clown.

I can confirm.

My best friend's ex boyfriend is classmates and friends with one of the twins who played Zack from Zack and Cody. Dylan I think. I've been to a party that she was at and met her.

 

[Taz]

His new 70 million dollar house, wow

 

[Pinko Marx]

My jelly is supreme.

 

[TM94]

Meh none of this jealousy will matter when I'm a famous singer.

 

[Spongebob]

The money is getting to his head.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Meh none of this jealousy will matter when I'm a famous singer.

That's the spirit

In Xanadu did Markus Perrson
A stately candy palace decree

Seems like the Romeros have found good company, too. I'm fascinated by the house itself, but I wouldn't buy and live in it if someone gave me that much dough.

 

[Zomba13]

150% jelly. Wish I was Notch.

 

[BetterThanNothing]

From mediocre java developer to this in ~6 years. An inspiration to us all.

 

[Saint Gregory]

The Carters' sodium levels have to be astronomically high after seeing that view. Damn O_O

 

[GavinUK86]

"bro I have no idea who this mindcraft is but this house is hella swag"

 

[Boem]

The money is getting to his head.

It's pretty much what I would do. Buy a big house, have a big party. You only get one life, so why shouldn't he enjoy it? It's not like he stole the money from anyone.

 

[Black Mantis]

Well done Notch, enjoy!

 

[Shogun1337]

Not hating on him (Seeing money doesn't immediately make me hate someone)

He seems to have a very ostentatious taste. How grotesque. Once your home becomes larger than a hotel, it ceases to be somewhere I could call a home.

I like japanese style, simple homes, even if everything in it were made of diamonds.

 

[chaosblade]

The money is getting to his head.

I kind of wonder if he's suffering from depression or something.

But actually I'm just a fucking moron so probably not.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I'm eating a microwaveable chicken pot pie in a windowless room with a single, humming light as I look at these pictures. I think I hear a mouse (rat? Giant roach) behind the wall.

:{

 

[funkystudent]

I would really like to party with John Romero

 

[DJ_Lae]

I've seen a lot of expensive houses that are way nicer than that one, and cheaper than $70 million too. It's pretty gross.

Still, he earned it.

 

[Shogun1337]

Was Minecraft done in Java?

 

[entremet]

I've seen a lot of expensive houses that are way nicer than that one, and cheaper than $70 million too. It's pretty gross.

Still, he earned it.

In Beverly Hills?

 

[Goldenroad]

I kind of wonder if he's suffering from depression or something.

I think you're just projecting. There is absolutely nothing in any of those pictures that would lead any kind of non-depressed person to believe that Notch is depressed.

 

[Coolwhip]

Ugly style but it looks expensive.

 

[Marcel]

Selena probably stopped by because she thought Notch was Kim Dotcom or Harvey Weinstein.

 

[Zomba13]

If I had hella money I would buy a nice big house somewhere nice (doesn't have to be Notch Mansion nice), throw a big expensive party, live you the rest of my days doing whatever I want becuase I'm rich yo.

Spoiler

I will be smart with my money. Or hire someone to be smart with it.

 

[eudaemonic]

My guess is that the people I'd find interesting were not the ones who were camera whores.

(I'd exclude taking pictures with Notch though. He's the host.)

 

[Jb]

Video game celebrity gossip. Awesome.

 

[Bold One]

I thought I would be Jelly, but honestly I am just amazed

 

[kulapik]

This guy on the right looks familiar... Who is that guy. Martin Garrix?

I was gonna say Zedd, but I'm not sure.

 

[xxracerxx]

I kind of wonder if he's suffering from depression or something.

Hahaha...holy shit. Come the fuck on, just because the guy has a shit ton of money does not mean he is suffering from depression. Good lord.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Who they?

Why is there a Ferrari INSIDE the house?

Why are there like 10 Ferraris INSIDE the house?!?

 

[Luke_Wal]

Honestly incredible. It's impossible for me to even fathom having so much money.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I wonder what he does with all the uneaten candy?
I would donate it.

 

[MauroNL]

I was gonna say Zedd, but I'm not sure.

Guy on the right is Martin Garrix. Zedd is in the picture with Selena Gomez on the right.

 

[Cream]

Who they?

Why is there a Ferrari INSIDE the house?

Why are there like 10 Ferraris INSIDE the house?!?

Never seen a garage before?

 

[TM94]

Shit I mean if I was a billionaire I'd invite Selena Gomez over too.

Spoiler

With a lot less people I mean

Spoiler

Just me and her actually

 

[Marcel]

I wonder what he does with all the uneaten candy?
I would donate it.

He gives it to Harvey Weinstein.
