NEW VIDEO SERIES! Mattcraft: Episode 01
Minecraft mania is sweeping the globe! We were totally into it before Penny-Arcade posted about it. Curse you season break – we coulda been on top o’ that! But hey, it’s not about who shot first (unless we’re talking Star Wars and I think we can all agree on that answer) it’s about us all having crazy fun digging into the earth and running away from things in terror. Nerdy Show will be nerding-out about Minecraft and sharing all our many adventures and escapades very very soon, when Season 4 awakes from its slumber. But why wait to dive into Minecrafting?
Huh?! You don’t know what Minecraft is? Clearly you haven’t been Internetting enough, but that’s okay, keep reading…
Nerdy Show is proud to present: MATTCRAFT!
Experience the world of Minecraft and learn of its adventure and peril with your guide, Matt Rex Downham – intrepid explorer, master of colorful phraseology, fighter of sheep. You may remember Matt from previous video postings, such as “Dahrma Fantasy Football“. Yes, Matt was a member of long-lost nerd comedy group, JediBFF, best known for the romantic comedy, “Good Morning iPhone”. Matt was also the starring role in the video game peripheral psychological thrillers “Rock Band: One Man’s Journey” and its sequel, “Wii Fit: One Man’s Journey”. With Minecraft, every world is unique and you never know what’s going to happen, so think of Mattcraft as some sort of comedy reality show, a one-man improv sitcom… with skeletons.
In this first episode, Matt briefly shows what Minecraft is, how it works and then adventure on the high seas, far, far from home and it’ll be night soon… EMBARK!

Oh, wow… I just got mine craft a couple of days ago… This is awesome! I laughed when you got attacked, but I completely understand… It’s even creepier when your mining a cave, and you hear it, then you see something move, and it’s a sheep that climbed into your cave!
Two questions, what difficulty will you be playing on, and how often will this update?
“Because.. it’s, it’s very much for.. left-brain, kinda creative types. So even though it’s… *starts unloading arrows at a chicken* let me get my arrows back: the we go. Even though it’s, it’s fairly straight forward, it really is what you make of it. So, you have to- Ooh I’m gonna kill these sheep. *shoots at sheep* Haha!”
For some reason, that part really made laugh, heheh.
I have been hearing about minecraft for.. months? A year? For a while, and from what I have heard, I have always pictured it as some kind of sandbox design & create game, maybe even Second Life like, just a lot more low tech graphic wise. Nothing ever pushed me over the edge enough to actually look into it, so this is the first time I have seen it.
I think I will check it out more.
I’ve played some of the free creative mode where you just build stuff with infinite blocks, it’s pretty fun, but I MAY try out the paid adventure (or whatever it’s called) mode, it seems interesting, and you can do things other than make buildings.

Oh yeah man, do it. Building is cool and all but. My god… survival is an amazing game.
When i first heard of it I thought it was just a little game w/ creative elements like somethin youd see on fb or even newgrounds, but now it looks beyond that and (bity graphics accounted for) awesome and im gettin it as soon as i get the cash next week
It reminds me of a first-person version of dwarf fortress, which makes it even more awesome…
I’d heard the name thrown around while I was in India, but only now had I actually looked into it. (I figured it was starcraft related or something) I paid for survival, and love it. There’s just SO MUCH cool stuff you can do! It’s 1/ off right now, and it’s easily the best $9 you’ll ever spend.
What texture pack is used in this video?
To all the cool cats with questions, Matt will be answering them and posting a new video as soon as he can. Shortly after doing this first video he got whisked away with some big business. He assures me there will be more on his return.
