A peek inside Notch's housewarming party

I can't even be bitter, Notch seems like a really cool person and it's a nice change to see an indie game developer living like this.
 
"It’s not about the money. It’s about my sanity."

*Buys giant house in Beverly Hills and throws a celebrity-stuffed party.*

I used to really like him, but now I think he's lost it. Money certainly does that. Le sigh.

this is honestly hilarious
people need to chill, don't worry so much about what other people do on their own time when it ain't hurting anyone
 
Fairly certain he was a millionaire for years before selling Mojang. Hardly going from 0.

Minecraft is what, 5 years old now? And he certainly wasn't a millionaire in the first couple years. We're talking a couple years max of making "good" money, but nothing even remotely close to post-Microsoft life. I think my point still stands.

If you think there is a danger of Notch "going through" all of his money, you are not properly understanding just how much money it is that he has.
 
The pictures don't do the garage justice when there's shit like this going on in it:

If I am jealous of anything in the house, it is pretty much this.
That is so cool.
 
Good for him! He played the game of life and is winning.

Also the house looks like something you build in The Sims, type in a cheat code, and buy all the fanciest stuff possible.
 
It's not even the party or the booze or even the candy room that impress me, I just love the modernist design of his house. I spent more time than I'm willing to admit admiring the entire designs of some of the high-end houses and apartments in GTAV and this has pretty much all of them beat.
 
Reading this thread is depressing. Didn't realise I posted on the same forum as such sad, sad people. I hope I get millions and blow it all on decorative pinky rings just to see half you fuckers screaming at the screen over how I'm wasting money I earned making a game and how I've lost be fucking plot because I invited people over to eat my food and view my collection of decorative pinky rings.

Barrels of salt man. Barrels.

Fucking silos. Some people in this thread are just absurd. I couldn't be happier to see billionaire Notch living the dream.

Who's screaming at their screen exactly?

I find the people bitter about it just as sad as those rubbing their nuts and pinching their tits over the pictures, personally.

Seriously. Enormous loads of pettiness and jelly up in here. I personally do think a lot of it looks gaudy af, and all the pre-placed furnishings are mostly garbage to my tastes, but just the overall architecture, openness, and amount of space is incredible. Also dat pool and view. I'd love to live in something like this, but get a better interior decorator up in there. Congrats to Notch.
 
I'm happy for the guy. He's living the fucking life. I mean yeah no body needs a house that size but he earned the money and could buy that house again many times over.
 
Notch living the fucking dream. I can't imagine what it feels like to have that much money and be set for many lifetimes.

That sushi bar looks AMAZING.
 
Meh. For a party that must have costed like 100 000$ it look pretty dull. I dont really the obsessions with cars too. But hey, some collect Amiibos and some collect 100 K cars and more wine than you will ever drink in your lifetime.

My dad has a millionaire friend, and man, eating 150$ steaks and drinking 300$ bottles of wines really make your food taste better? By how many percent over the 20$ steak?
 
Such a terrible tacky interior. The views are nice outside, but jesus christ. The "all mirrors" walls show that it was fully intended for one of Hollywood's top narcissists, but Notch just bought the mansion sized equivalent of a hideous Fabergé egg just because he could. I don't think money is gonna do him good.

Sounds like my scheme of getting a Bugatti and paint it bright purple and drive down the street at speed limit.
 
I'm going to become a billionairre (gime a few weeks) then continue to live in a shed, just to show how real I am.
 
He can spend the actual money however he wants but there's an awful lot of money chasing people who probably don't even know or care whose house that is. I don't know how happy I'd be around people like that all the time. Just knowing what they're there for.

Simpsons pics that explains this whole thing.


They only like you for your pool.
 
So where's his arcade room? I see a foosball table, but that's it. No pinnies, no arcade cabs, CERTAINLY no hydraulic machines like an R-360.

He'd better have that shit on order or something. this would be a good start.

To be fair to Notch, most of the house was already furnished so it is more rich LA people have terrible tastes than Notch himself.

I bet the chrome fooseball table and Bumblebee was all him.
