Forgive me, but I'm new to the Internet (apparently).*

So today I'm nursing a cold and I sat down to watch the latest update of one of those multi-player Minecraft "to the death" games.

This one featured six 3-player teams and the playing area is bounded by a giant wall, so you have to stay inside.

The only rule I know they have is that you can only use golden apples to replenish your health.

The player I was following got killed off, so I looked up his partner, who also happened to have a YouTube channel with the same Season/Episode postings.

At some point there was an encounter with another team and I wanted to see the fight from THEIR perspective, so I looked them up and sure enough THEY also had posted their game.

You see where this is going, 18 players, all with YouTube channels, all posting 20-minute videos (cued from server announcements) from their perspective.

Each team is using a voice-chat thing like Ventrillo (or whatevs) so they can talk in real time.

There are a few of them are more interesting than others, and some have fancier production values, but it's a great bit of entertainment when you don't feel like actually sitting in our world and building little lego buildings.


They're up to Season 15, which is the one I just finished watching.

Here's the breakdown of their channels:
