People have been shitting on this left and right, but the way I see it, it's basically perfect. Minecraft has so little story to it that you can pretty much write anything you want. It's the perfect "blank slate" for Telltale to do something interesting with.

Telltale may as well just do an original story, why does it have to be related to a pre-existing series?

I don't care about Mindcraft, but I do see your reasoning here and I actually agree that Telltale of all people could definitely do some cool and interesting stuff with it.

Liam is what? 21-23? That's stuff you're prone to do when you're 14/15.

Sales, obviously. This will sell a shit-ton of copies on the strength of the Minecraft name alone. And being tethered to Minecraft isn't going to hurt anything. It doesn't limit Telltale in any significant way, save for the whole "family friendly" aspect. Which is fine. Not everything has to be Walking Dead or Game of Thrones levels of dark.

Do they have trouble coming up with an interesting initial concept? That could be a problem.

I know that feel actually, I don't consider myself a writer or anything, but I do like writing out concepts and stories and so on, but have the easiest time when there is a base to work on, give me a premade world with set rules and stuff and I'll do anything and everything to change it into something I envision, but starting from scratch is tough and I just don't have the imagination to do that very well.

Unlike Beloved, who is pretty incredible in how she writes and has an extremely vivid and active imagination that makes mine look like a broken TV from the 60's by comparison.

A pokemon LP could work, the fact that it was a Nuzlock probably hurt it. Sure a few Nuzlocks are good, but I find the best pokemon LP's are informative ones that use lesser used pokemon. Something their LP was missing.

I think Nuzlocke has ruined all potential Pokemon LPs for the Best Friends, no one wants to see that.

Maybe if they did one of the 3DS games and recorded it like how GB do 3DS stuff.

Which is a shame, an LP where they each got to pick two members of the team, would have been a hell of a lot more interesting. Plus it would have showed what kind of pokemon they like.

The best way to do a Pokemon LP is to know a lot about Pokemon, and have some kind of stakes to make it interesting. Pokemon is not a fun game to watch. It's a fairly simple turn-based RPG, with minimal story, and extreme lack of difficulty.

Knowing Pokemon is one part, but the second part is to have some kind of challenge limitation. Need it be a Nuzlocke, or some other challenge, but it needs something. Unless you are going to talk about a lot of nothing.

How do I add myself to the Doc?

I wanna be the doc.

I'm so tired of insomnia guys, my schedule has been: Up all night and then I wake up sometime during the day quite late, whole thing repeats ad nauseum as I try to sleep and instead stare at the walls of my room in the dark. Or browse gaf all night.

Or play video games because FUCK WELL I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE FUCK.

(I'm Cranky, and also Pat... YOU'LL NEVER GET ANSWERS...EVER NOT EVEN IN THE DLC)

You'll probably never read this, but the doc is in the OP when you quote it, you'll see it.

For the sleep thing, you could try to stay up all night and then sleep properly the next day.

Huh, that's cool, and that explains a bit of the weirdly BestGAF related stuff you've done.

Of all the hidden mysteries of the Best Friends, I really want to know how the hell Pat gets into bed. He wraps himself up like a burrito or something?
