"Minecraft: The Story of Mojang // Official Release Trailer" (My New Fav YouTube Video) [VID]



I just added this video as a favorite on my YouTube channel.





Originally uploaded to YouTube by 2PlayerProductions.

See Video: Minecraft: The Story of Mojang // Official Release Trailer

Description: "AVAILABLE NOW! $20 2 DISC DVD - http://www.fangamer.net/products/minecraft-the-story-of-mojang $8 DRM-FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD http://www.theminecraftmovie.com $7 ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK BY C418 http://c418.bandcamp.com/album/one In 2009, independent video game designer Markus "Notch" Persson released a work in progress that would go on to break every industry rule for achieving success. Part exploratory adventure, part creative building tool, "Minecraft" evolved from a cult classic into an unprecedented hit, raking daily sales in by the thousands. By the end of 2010, Notch was able to quit his day job and live the dream of founding his own development studio, Mojang. This feature-length documentary follows the young company over the course of its first year as their profile expands across the world stage and into the homes of millions of gamers. Featuring insights from industry icons (Peter Molyneux, Tim Schafer), journalists (Geoff Keighley, Stephen Totilo), tastemakers (Gabe & Tycho of Penny Arcade), and players profoundly impacted by the game (Yogscast, The Shaft, Minecraft Teacher), the film serves as a time capsule for one of this generation's most unorthodox success stories. Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is the second feature from game culture archivists 2 Player Productions (Reformat the Planet, Penny Arcade: The Series - Season 1, Double Fine Adventure!). Funded through crowdsourcing site Kickstarter.com, the production spanned nearly two years in locations across North America and Europe."

New Fav YouTube Vid: "Texting and Driving Prevention - On My Way - Glee :15" [VID]



I just added this video as a favorite on my YouTube channel.





Originally uploaded to YouTube by adcouncil.

See Video: Texting and Driving Prevention - On My Way - Glee :15

Description: "http://www.stoptextsstopwrecks.org A texting driver is 23 times more likely to get into a crash than a non-texting driver. This campaign targets young adult drivers with a focus on texting and driving prevention. Young adults live in a connected world where multitasking is the norm. This manifests in the car where they recognize texting and driving is dangerous, but do it anyway. The average text takes a driver's eyes off the road for nearly five seconds. When traveling at 55mph, that's enough time to cover the length of a football field. The message being conveyed is that texting while driving isn't multitasking, it's essentially driving blind."
