I'm still amazed at how little people know that the reason we've had a decade of battleroyal game is because Minecraft hunger games was such a huge thing around the 2010s
It's not even a meme to say that Minecraft Hunger Games led to Fortnite. Of course the battle royale concept had already existed, but MC HG was the first battle royale video game to become popular. It set the gaming meta for a decade.
it was more popular, but arma 2 Battle royale which came out at the same time (maybe even earlier) is the real blueprint for battle royale as we know it. It introduced everything we have in BR nowadays. MC Hunger games was awesome, but more similar to hunger games itself than to the battle royale we know today. arma 2 BR was exactly like BR is nowadays, everybody copied it afterwards. That really set the Meta, but MC got it more popular at first.
There has not been a single better moment on the internet than the Minecraft hunger games. It literally felt like the entire world was watching. The announcers from machinima went ham. I can’t believe it wasn’t made into a proper esport. It was soooo fucking good.
When I was in 8th and 9th grade (2011 - 2012), my friends had a popular Minecraft Hunger Games server (Bolivia HG the GOAT). They sold VIP packs for real money, which granted access to better starting gear. It was INSANE the amount of money they made with those packs, at least for some 12 year olds that just liked Minecraft too much. Also insane that people would actually buy those, some of the first pay to win. What's funny is that since they were my friends, I had the VIP packs for free. And sometimes my friend (co-owner) would login with us, give us op items, invincibility, God mode even, I got accused of cheating too many times to count but who cares, I had friend privileges lmao I have a memory of the four of us gathered together in another friend's house, each with our laptops, fighting a group if hackers that joined the server, which we couldn't close because it was hosted in my friend's PC in his house and him hoping to get picked up so he could go home and turn it off, gosh that was hilarious. Reminiscing those times with my friends is always really fun
Bro I LOVED those old guess what I draw videos. He even did some reverse one where chat would work together and each draw one pixel and Atrioc would guess. Or viewers would submit their own drawings. Ah, the good ol days
Am I just behind on my captainsparklez lore or did Atrioc just leak that he was actually dating aureylian also sword4000 videos look like gen alpha slop but they're actually really entertaining and end up with like rivalries and factions and server lore and shit. its kind of like rust but if you die you cant play until next wipe
I googled it because of him saying this on stream and apparently she had an old tweet about them dating (and then breaking up) from a while ago. But I couldn’t find the actual tweets on it - just a fan article saying the tweets existed
I loved the original minecraft hunger games. Not "created map", just a randomly generated world each game and the only loot chests (that weren't natural spawns) were in spawn and didn't contain anything crazy.
Arma 2 battle Royale actually created battle royales. I think it was at the same time as MC hunger games, or even earlier, and ti really is the blueprint for everything that came after. Dayz, H1Z1, fortnite, all built upon arma 2 battle royale mod. Hunger Games was more like the huinger games movie than battle royale, unlike arma 2 BR, which did exactly what everyone else copied afterwards, including the airdrops and changing player area.
Those peace war videos are cheap ish knockoffs to feed the hungry market to bridge minecraft and history content for kids going down the history pipeline
@@nuggetplan Ah I wasn't aware of the second channel, it appears to be half Minecraft and half other games. I was only aware of the main channel (which he announced is retiring) and the reaction channel, Jordan Reacts.
