Minecraft: The Story of Mojang (2012)

I bought Minecraft very early on while it was still in beta and remain fascinated with it to this day. Suffice it to say I've been looking forward to this documentary for some time now. Especially since I backed the Doublefine Adventure Kickstarter and have seen the quality of 2 Player Productions videos.

It covered a long stretch of time and touched on a lot of the different aspects of the game and community. I just wish it had covered more. There were some pretty important things that they never discussed at all. Stuff like the mod community which is what I think has kept Minecraft so fresh to this day. As well as the whole Yogscast controversy right after Minecon was over. That was pretty big news at the time but it's completely ignored. Lastly, the biggest omission was never talking with or talking about C418! His music is a very iconic part of the game. But overall I really enjoyed it and look forward to more from 2 Player.

Indie Game: The Movie (2012)

I actually caught this on Netflix last week. This was another good documentary about games and the people behind them. I had no idea indie game developers were so neurotic but thinking about it, it makes sense. It was a really interesting peek into their world.
