Minecraft Fans: Your Leader May Have Joined the Herd

Notch, the creator of the ridiculously popular Minecraft, is apparently into ponies.  There were a few occurrences in the past that pointed in the exact opposite direction, where he straight up refused to have anything to do with it... but I guess times change?  That initial stigma is there for pretty much everyone I think.

(I guess he might be trolling, I play the game, but I've never actually followed any of it's news)

Check out his twitter here!

For those that aren't into minecraft, have some Fluttershy.  Who doesn't like Fluttershy?

I thin he's lying.

Though it would be awesome otherwise.

Draze said...

Adam wins yet more internets!

Jedigeek93 said...

Who doesn't like Fluttershy?! HITLER that's who!

Temp1261 said...

He could be joking but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Pinkamina Diane Pie said...

I don't play minecraft, but this is pretty awesome.

Kizi said...

Dat Fluttershy, d'aww.

Kaijyuu said...

@Jedigeek93
I don't like Fluttershy either.


I LOVE Fluttershy. In a non-creepy way.

Barrett said...

Yeah, it's not easy to tell if he's serious or not... If I had to guess, I'd say he's kidding/lying.

... But it would be awesome if it was true.

kwj said...

notch into ponies??
wow now thta's cool

FlutterMagic said...

hmm he might just say it to parasprite, but still =D

Jango-Fett said...

MEWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

ALL will join the herd!

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

Flutterguy said...

i think he might be joking he does that sometimes

Fluttershy Lover said...

Hmm, the news is interesting but I would rather have Fluttershy :D

ndrazzar said...

:D

nothing more to say

Michos said...

and we are 100% sure he is not just being sarcastic? Remember, it's Notch.

~pkThunder said...

Still good propaganda. My non-brony minecraft friends are gonna rage (luckily they don't follow Notch on twitter lol) :D

Firleycat said...

I never trust whatever a creator says on Twitter anyway. I'm just naturally suspicious of anything on that website for some reason.

Greenf0x said...

What was Applejack doing playing TF2 all by her lonesome.

Alex Castro said...

Sad thing, if he really is, people's gonna start with the hate. If he's just trollin' we will just tolerate and love the shit out of him... The world needs less hate and more ponies :c

ChaosDX1 said...

You just can't tell with Notch, but I'll be a fan of his regardless.
(And how awesome would it be if he was?)

Ratty said...

Sethisto, you play the game? I thought you personally didn't care for Minecraft. I do wish you'd stop by our server and say hi to your adoring fans (brohoof.com).

a8b33210-f386-11e0-b341-000f20980440 said...

I'm a fan of both Minecraft AND Fluttershy! It's a win-win!

edock said...

Well, when I first watched MLP I thought that it was retarded....but then they love of the herd got me to watch again and I did and loved it!

Maybe the same happened to Notch. haha

Marcoooootje1 said...

Not sure if serious...

Altercation said...

I'm willing to bet he was just humouring the guy in question.

GrugDude said...

I don't know if he is serious, but I really hope he is! Maybe he can add some MLP related Easter Eggs to the game! That could be amazing!

FuNKaTRoNiC said...

Not sure if Paraspriting or just awesome.

ijustwanttopost said...

After the week Notch has had, I'm leaning towards trolling.

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Considering he just got back from Minecon, I predict trolling.

A Material Central said...

And upon the saying of those few words many fangasms were to be heard.

milleniummaster18 said...

"Who doesn't like Fluttershy?"
Marylin Manson, and me, among other people.

Lol, Minecraft.

Shrimp Almighty said...

Either I'm dumb, him posting this was a long time ago, or he deleted this post from twitter because I can't find this on twitter anywhere.

Xel Unknown said...

This reminds me... Must get myself some Minecraft...

Sandoval said...

I don't like fluttershy that much

D. McCarthy said...

Taking into account recent events, Notch may be talking out of his ass again.

TheIdlingRev said...

Saw this a while ago, it seems more like hes trolling than being serious

Masquerade said...

>For those of you who aren't into Minecraft
There are people who don't like Minecraft?

>Who doesn't like Fluttershy?
Nopony, that's who!

Shrimp Almighty said...

Forget my previous post. I'm just an idiot. XD

El_Darax said...

You don't like fluttershy?

Well everyone has their flaws I suppose.

Aranarth said...

I bet he's trolling, however I'd like the contrary to be true.

~pkThunder said...

@D. McCarthy
lol, masterful troll notch has only been defeated once! if it weren't for those meddling yogscast xD

autobotgodzilla said...

Well I guess the fandom *PUTS ON SUNGLASSES* has been taken up a Notch. YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

smokeydops2 said...

Notch is probably doing it just to get approval from The Herd.

HappyCrusader said...

Hmm, it's hard to tell if he was trolling or not, the lack of punctuation leaves his statement open to interpretation.

But it would be awesome if he actually meant it!

ZeroCereal said...

Notch joined The Herd? That's interes-

*Scroll down*

Fluttershyyyyyyyyyyy.

Rubik Hooves said...

he is probably just trying to make us happy ^^

Overkillius said...

I say "who gives a crap"... no need to harass the guy, who cares if he is a brony or not?

I mean if he is a brony, that's awesome! If he's not then oh well... I just hope hordes of brony minecraft fans don't harass him even more.

Kovu said...

YES!

YEESS!

[/M. Bison]

8bitbleepbleep said...

Dude's always goofin' around and being a funny guy on his twitter account. He's probably getting another laugh out of people from both sides getting worked up over this!

ToonNinja said...

Oh yeah, seems totally legit.

firestonex said...

Trolling is saying something or doing something with the intention to anger, upset, or annoy someone...

Since the posts asked him to say that he is a Brony, this can not be trolling....

You guys have got to stop using the term trolling for everything someone says.

firestonex said...

Or in other words....

Vopogon said...

I don't like Fluttershy, honestly.

No, I'm not trolling, she's genuinely annoying to me.

Ragneki5880 said...

He might be joking. I don't really know but from what I . . .

Oh look it's Fluttershy!!!!!!!
YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Peter said...

@Vopogon

Love and tolerance can only go so far. You're beyond redemption. You will be exterminated.

Michos said...

Well, I'm not pointing in anyones direction, but I'd call the police to visit the people who admit not liking Fluttershy. There are probably a lot of childrens bodies to be found there.

Jelfes said...

*drooling* Eggghhhhhhh.... So much awesome.

A Material Central said...

*Fluttershy picture* *Everyone ignores main focus of article*

soph93 said...

BEWARE BRONIES.
Notch is actually in the sh*t: he released a game without the features he promised, and now thousand of people want refund.on his twitter you can see how he was fighting with yogcast and gained a lot of enemies in this week.He is probably just an Hipster that needs to be approved from others, wishing to gain more players ( now that he is losing them) to support him.MLP fanbase is gold in the internet, we should not give our gold to greedy people.i am not saying he is surely a greedy cynical bastard, but he is *probably* just trying to use us as a shield from the hate is receiving.
you *NOW* "are" a brony Notch? i am glad you enjoy the show, but NO, i won't adore you, i won't buy your game, i won't try to solve your problem; bronies don't need the approval of "celebrities". the entire internet will laugh at us if we mindlessy adore him now, and they will hate us even more than they do now.
love.tolerance.and wisdom.

Twilight said...

The other day when he was interviewed on Desert Bus for Hope he said that he hadn't gotten around to watching it. Either he watched it and liked it in a day's time or he's trolling us.

hl2fan29 said...

Could it be? Notch a brony? Ünd y u peeple no likeminecraft?

ranthus said...

He's trolling.
Probably.

pirinja03 said...

Dammit seth, I lost... thanks

ijustwanttopost said...

@soph93 "he released a game without the features he promised, and now thousand of people want refund"

Gigatoast said...

After the Yogscast debacle I was under the impression he'd be doing his best NOT to make large slices of the internet despise him. So if he's trying to troll the most powerful fandom on the web he's dumber then I thought.

Even if he is trolling we've still got him on record for saying this, he'll never here the end of it.

firestonex said...

@soph93

But yogscast was the d*** here not Notch.

What a bunch of stuck up jerks.

firestonex said...

Also NOTCH was a HUGE DONATOR in the Desert Bus charity that had gone on this past week...

FamusJamus said...

*looks at image*

Eh, just a throwaway comment meant for humour.

*looks at comments*

Dayum...

*promptly abandons thread*

Azure said...

He's probably being sarcastic and a non-native English speaker at the same time. But hey, if he's actually turned that's pretty cool. I don't think it'll buy him any slack on the business front, like soph93 seems to be saying, but you gotta L&T anyhow.

cobracookies said...

Too bad Notch is a jerk who backstabbed the YOGS. That whole debacle made me uninstall minecraft.

firestonex said...

lol.. YOGS are the jerks.... Where have you been?

Kody910 said...

Not sure if trolling...

Octavia said...

Hmm... don't play Minecraft myself... but boy do my roomies play it a fair bit. lol I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he did have some interest in the Brony Community. I also wouldn't be surprised if he's trolling either. So who knows. :P

Amorphic said...

Skip to 5:30

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qqqE0Yr9VA

Notch has not watched My Little Pony

Kiboe said...

okay, the whole yogscast debacle. okay, i'm not sure of the situation, brb, gonna go read about it

*10 minutes later*

okay, yogscast is the dicks, not notch, yogscast basicly told a kid..a child, ya know, A MINOR to fuck off more or less, in candid terms, i guess a kid wanted them to sign somthing notch already did (makes sense, dual signatures) they crossed out his name and put "F U"

yogscast fault.

elite-crusader said...

I remember that creepypasta stuff about 'Herobrine', the ghost of freakin Minecraft, first he clearly stated it wasn't real, and then he said something that basically implied the opposite (I don't remember well). It just looks like Notch like to troll everyone.
But one of the random title screens in Minecraft said bronies were cool. So maybe he likes ponies, but as far as I know he likes to confuse people.

firestonex said...

All I know is what Video Games Awesome said about it.... And I trust them more than anyone. Especially since they were there.

Gigatoast said...

@firestonex

Well then maybe you should check out the Yogscast Twitter feed and hear the whole story before you go make unfounded assumptions. Besides, Notch admitted he was a fault and apologized to them.

FamusJamus said...

I've done some research, and this page on the Notch-Yogscast thing seems to be the most complete in terms of links.

A proportion of the other other pages I've found tend to go on about how Yogscast is really popular, a huge proportion of the Minecraft fanbase love 'em, stuff like that. Yet I've never heard of them before yesterday.

Still, that whole topic is not something I'm gonna touch with a 20-foot pole.

Notch may or may not like ponies. That was the point of this post.

*abandons thread for real this time*

ryan said...

I spent my entire week on minecraft and ponies.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Azure said...

>reads up on Yogscast v. Notch
>"Why won't anybody be rational and reasonable?!"

I'm glad bronies don't have this issue... Let's always keep it that way.

Haze said...

wut, I came here for Fluttershy.

Lupus Albus said...

He is trolling. Notch supported Team Ashton in Desert Bus with his $10000 donation instead of Team Kroze (Kroze being the brony moderator who sang Winter Wrap-Up, the Pony Pokey, At the Gala, Art of the Dress, and the theme song on stream with Matt.)

Notch is just being a good sport and giving the bronies their share of the fun.

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

Never played minecraft, but I read up a bit on the whole cause célèbre this week, sounds like fatigue and hearsay on both sides.

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

He's totally lying. I could never see Notch being a brony, he's too... Notch-y.

And by that I mean I think he's an absolute dick. Every other blog post he makes is laced with the words "I am a dick but I did something cool so feed me money."

I do respect him for creating Minecraft, I love the game. But I do not care for Markus at all.

blabbytaco said...

ahh..... he's just looking for attention, I can see that from him.

ponyvangelist said...

I HATE Fluttershy.
Notch is a brony.

Both statements are examples of trolling.

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

@cobracookies
Uninstall? Don't you mean delete the .minecraft folder and minecraft.exe, seeing as there was no installation process to begin with?

Amuter said...

i can understand why he doesn't want ponies in minecraft... i mean... they're just not minecraft material

Jay said...

I've met him, you know... He was a pretty cool guy before the apathy of having money got to him.

Also, this. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2941534/Jaycraft/2011-11-19_20.56.37.png

PokeBrony said...

old news. my friend talked to notch ages ago an said he was a brony

KaGo said...

Notch a brony
yay

Darkforce2K said...

Trolling?
The end is trollish
I REALLY hope this is true
yay

Saphyr said...

I'm gonna be a non-cynic by celebrating, marking another milestone in brony world domination, and declaring an early New Year's promise to start playing Minecraft before next year. Cheers!

Socially Inept Luna said...

inb4 everypony taking something Notch has said far too seriously.

Oh. Wait.

Uh, inb4 the totally unrelated Yogscast thing being mentioned.

Oh, crap.

... well, uh... I got nothing.

Samuel7897 said...

I want to believe it, but I'm gonna call troll on this one

Travis Smith said...

Eh, who really knows, maybe he is or maybe he isn't

nathandash said...

I actually know notch. he is sorta a friend of mine. we haven't met in person, but we skype chat and stuff like that.

and YES he IS a brony. we talk about ponies all the time. he is all so a troll. (Only on minecraft)

I'll give seth proof later.

Travis Smith said...

@nathandash
Awsome dude! If you can get proof later would like to see it.
As for Minecraft, tell him to make more breeds of dragons.

QuadICE said...

For everyone who thinks that Yogscast is a dicks:

Faaiz said...

At first I was like :DDDDD
then I read the comments and realised the high probability that Notch is just trolling again
D:

AlexanderC said...

If the person did not add the parenthesis note he would have said nothing so I'm about 80% sure he is just trolling.

P.S. Has anypony ever tried Applejack sauce? It's tasty in my opinion...

White Ink said...

@nathandash

Well, talk about a double-edged sword. That could end horrifically, especially so few people on the internet outside of the brony community understand the "love and tolerate" motto we've accepted as a standard. Official evidence on a blog of this caliber could really backfire...

DeRockProject said...

Since the topics already out, I personally think Notch was worse than Yogscast.

We have no idea Notch's claims are true, so I got nothing on that. But it doesn't matter because there's something that makes that whole thing irrelevent.

Notch tweeted all that shit. He was pretty much whining and called Yogscast "total dicks". No evidence to back his claims.

But more importantly, there's this whole thing called love and tolerance. As long as Notch and Yogscast are sorry for whatever the hell they both did, I'm willing to completely forget all of this. And I kinda think we all should be.

-----

Oh ya, Notch saying he's a brony. Uhh... All I see is haters on his comments. If you think Notch had some ulterior motive for that tweet,

"How... unfortunate. :("
"and he just fuckin beats off right there"
"uninstalled minecraft, requesting refund"
"go fuck yourself in the ass"

Guh...

The Clinger said...

"That initial stigma is there for pretty much everyone I think."

False. It wasn't for me.

Kitsunekun VII said...

1- Notch has never watchd MLP, and likely has no intention to unless we get Jeb to first.

2- If Notch did watch MLP, he would love Fluttershy. I will personally send him a plushie if I get proof of the above.

3- Fluttershy is best pony.

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

I totally mentioned something about this in last nights nightly roundup! If you watch the second part of the Minecon panel (on youtube) around 12:33 one of the guys mentions MLP. Although, it was not Notch (apparently it was a guy by the name of Lewis Brindley as told to me by Gadvac) I believe that it will not take long for him to join the herd if he is surrounded by fellow bronies. :)

ponyvangelist said...

Fluttershy hates Notch.

Notch is best pony.


(Just doing a little more trolling, to keep my hoof in.)

Bsh said...

This just proves: resistance is futile

soph93 said...

he just said on hiw twitter that he was lying.
i want to see the face of everyone who fangasmed in the last 23 hours.
love and tolerance.
for Notch i personally only tolerate.barely.

Scootachicken said...

I've just jizzed myself.
His latest tweets only make it better, I know he said he lied, but he said he's watched some of the clips and he likes the clips, he's never watched the show.

This, combined with how successful the Humble Brony Bundle has gotten, combined with the new episode, has made my day.

Andy Oh said...

@Scootachicken

If Notch likes the clips, then it is Phase 1, only a matter of time...
