11.11.2013 :: 5:33PM EST @jplafke Back in the day when Minecraft was just blowing up and South Park hadn’t yet dedicated an entire episode to it, filmmakers 2 Players Productions set out to make a documentary detailing the meteoric rise of Notch, Mojang, and Minecraft. Previously, you had to pay a handful of dollars to get the documentary, but now you can just load up YouTube, hit fullscreen, and watch it for free. The documentary was originally funded on Kickstarter, and it made its debut on Xbox Live during December of 2012. In cool-guy fashion (and likely aware of the inevitable), 2 Player Productions uploaded the documentary to The Pirate Bay, but asked that viewers considered purchasing the movie. The film follows Minecraft and Notch through alpha development of the game up until its release, and includes interviews from industry celebrities, such as Peter Molyneux and Tim Schafer. If you’re unfamiliar with 2 Player Productions’ work, they used to produce Penny Arcade’s PATV, an interesting and often dramatic look into the folks behind the webcomic empire and their hugely successful yearly geek culture convention, PAX.
The crew does fine work, so if you’re just a fan of documentaries in general but not necessarily Mojang, the free video will at least be worth the admission price. Currently, 2 Player Productions is working with Double Fine on documenting its original Kickstarter adventure game, Broken Age, which has hit a bump or two in the road, providing the film crew with juicy drama. You can watch Minecraft: The Story of Mojang below… If you like the film, you can purchase different versions that come with some nice extras, including a three-part mini-documentary about the making of Scrolls. subscribe to our newsletter: Subscribing to a newsletter indicates your consent to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.With Deathstroke and Batman on everyone's minds today thanks to a video posted by Ben Affleck that seems to show the villain on the set of Justice League, this is your friendly reminder that a (now) major Hollywood director once directed and produced a big, high-quality fight between the two.
In this CGI short film, Batman is still in his early years - the film was made to publicize Batman: Arkham Origins, a video game about the Bat's first major challenge, fighting back seven assassins in one long night, and his first big encounter with a certain clown prince of crime, the Joker. The seven assassins served as Batman's initial physical encounter and boss battles, while the Joker was his psychological challenge. The deadliest of those assassins was, of course, Deathstroke. While the game's battle didn't exactly play out the same way as this cinematic imagining of it all, this does give us a very real idea of how exciting a Batman versus Deathstroke fight could be on the big screen. Produced by Blur Studio and directed by Tim Miller, who directed Deadpool with his studio working on the special effects for the film and producing the special all-CGI story reel that got the movie made in the first place, this fight is done with a cinematic eye. The talented team at Blur has played with Batman many times, for the various Arkham games, plus DC Universe Online, but there's not much better than watching two very evenly matched badasses punch, kick, and slash at each other.
