Hello, my name is PdW2kX and this is my first post here. Since this is my first post, I figured I’d make it count. I’d like any who’re interested to check out and give feedback on my ongoing Minecraft series “Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome”.

A bit of history: Minecraft Awesome is the official Minecraft server of the website videogamesawesome.com. It’s a huge server with a lot of creative people and many amazing communities. Normally, the VGA crew highlights the Minecraft Awesome server by doing live tours of build challenges.

My series instead takes a look at the Minecraft communities that have sprung up and flourished. I’ve only used tour guides a few times, so for the most part I just wander about aimlessly and look to highlight and explore interesting builds. All of my commentary is recorded live, and while most of it is based on looking at and discussing the locations I’m touring, occasionally I throw in some general commentary as well.

Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome recently celebrated its landmark sixtieth episode, so to commemorate the occasion I posted a long “thank you” video for my current watchers and will be trying to drum up interest in this series through this board and some others.

I don’t harbor any dreams of becoming a major YouTube star, but I do think this series has a lot of heart and I think it shows off the creative works of many amazing people. As always, feedback and comments of any kind are appreciated. I never delete comments and I respond to a lot of them.

And that’s about it, hopefully you watch and enjoy the series. The official playlist of all the Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome videos is available at this link:

 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC35782CFA6ABA655&feature=mh_lolz

Also, Episode 60 can be viewed right here:

Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy the series.

MAIA Episode 62

Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome ends its combined Highlight Reel/Random Tour "arc" (and yes they're "arcs", because "episode chunks" doesn't sound as cool :p) with "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 62: Everywhere A Sign"

From the description: "For episode sixty-two of MAIA, I finish the tour of Random and thus end my pre-1.8 videos. I know this episode is a little short, but I enjoy my Scrapshack signs so much that I felt it deserved its own episode. To me, few things are funner than reading the messages fans have left me."

yet seen in my Minecraft Awesome wanderings."

Right now I honestly just don't have the time to check out other servers, but that's something I am looking into doing sometime in the future. I'll keep ya posted.

That said, the tour of Obelisk City begins to wind down in "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 66: PD Continues Tradition, Bathes With Tour Guides".

From the description: "Episode 66 of my little series continues the look at all the jaw-dropping goodness that is Obelisk City. And in the grand tradition I've established in several previous tours, this episode also sees me get a little up close and personal with my tour guide."

the Obelisk City crew for being so awesome."

Thanks man, it's much appreciated! I love my little series and I'm very glad and still surprised, sometimes, that it has fans. It's pretty awesome.

That said... My blast mining tutorial continues with "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 70: PD Blasts Minecraft's Walls Off".

tutorial, as well as more random thoughts on mining and the Minecraft

MAIA Episodes 71 and 72

It's a two-for-one special today, because I honestly just plain forgot to upload something on Saturday.

And so, PD's blast mining tutorial continues with "Minecraft Awesome Is
Awesome Episode 71: Trust Your Gut, Toss Your Stuff" and concludes with
"Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 72: Heading Home With All My
Lovely Loot."

From the descriptions: "For episode 71 of Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome, I
continue to give away my secrets, tips, and tricks that have thankfully
led me to become pretty darn rich in the Minecraft Awesome server.
Whether it's trust your gut or choosing which items to throw away and
when, mining with TNT is surprisingly nuanced. But it's also
surprisingly awesome, since it more often than not pays for itself by at
least double."

Also, "For episode 72 of my little series, I bring my blast mining
tutorial to a close by addressing the silent killer of Minecraft miners
everywhere: getting back to civilization once you're loaded down with
loot. My way of digging straight up may not be practical or fast, but
I've yet to die once using it. Plus I have a little trick if you come up
in the middle of a lake/ocean. I had a lot of fun filming this
tutorial, so I hope you enjoyed it!"

Hope you enjoy!

MAIA Episode 77

Note: the server wouldn't load for me for the past several days, so I'm jumping ahead a few videos. If you want to catch up, the link to the playlist with all my episodes is in the description of the video.

And so the fun and decidedly awesome "Mellisbaker" arc concludes with "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 77: Goodbye Mellisbaker, Hello Giant Mushroom Village".

From the description: "Episode 77 of Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome wraps up the "mellisbaker" arc, as the popular and well-known (and awesome) Minecraft Awesome mod finishes showing off some awesome builds. The tour wraps up with a giant village made out of giant mushrooms, which is a pretty awesome concept that results in some pretty awesome builds. I had a lot of fun wandering the server with Mellisbaker, and I hope to maybe do it again sometime."

I don't have any plans to finish Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome. The goal is to highlight great/interesting builds in the server I'm a part of. There's still a ton of stuff in the server I haven't checked out yet, and we're starting a new server since our current one is so big it's basically breaking down. The only chance of MAIA ending would be if the server denizens stopped making awesome builds or if I personally got fed up with doing the series. I don't see either one happening, to be honest.

Posted this up a day early because the cold I'm battling still has me a
bit loopy! But nevertheless, Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome begins its
next arc with "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 78: Saying Goodbye
With Another Highlight Reel".

From the description: "Episode 78 of Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome kicks
off my second highlight reel, where I tour five random builds and talk
randomly about them. It's also a texture pack highlight reel, where I
look at five unique texture packs and sometimes give my thoughts on them
as well. I start out with the anime-themed Otakutopia, while also
giving a fond farewell to what is now the "old server", since RPG Month
is officially upon us."

I'm thinking of starting a "This Is Minecraft" series where I look at other servers, since "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome" will always be about the Minecraft Awesome server. Once I get the ball rolling with that, I'll be sure to check y'all out since I know there are a ton of other fantastic servers out there. With that said...

I'm a bit behind schedule, two episodes have been posted since I last
posted in this topic. Sorry guys, I've been slacking a little lately
because of some drama. But recently I've gotten some renewed
determination, so I'm looking forward to continuing this series for as
long as people keep liking it. That said,

The two episodes in this post are "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode
79: Otakutopia Is Awesome" and "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 80:
Loving The Lovely Lushcraft, Plus Tardis And Arcadia!".

As stated before, I'm touring five unique locations while highlighting five
awesome texture packs. Episode 79 focuses on the anime-themed
Otakutopia, while Episode 80 looks at an awesome TARDIS build and the
medieval-themed Kingdom of Arcadia. Hope you guys enjoy!

Minecraft Awesome has been hard at work populating an entirely new world with awesome builds, and I'm having a lot of fun exploring and seeing as much of this new world as I can. On the commentary side, this episode picks up where the last one left off, as I resume giving my honest, open, and maybe even slightly controversial outlook on the recent discussions surrounding giant mob grinders in the Minecraft Awesome server."

From the description: "And so my first look at New New Spawn draws to a close one episode away from #90. New New Spawn fills me with a lot of hope for this server, since there are already so many interesting, amazing builds in a world that is only a few weeks old. It's this type of positivity and creativity that not only keeps a server active and amazing, but makes me think that this new world may even end up being better than the old one. Stay awesome everybody! And stay tuned, the next arc sees me right back at New New Spawn to cover the stuff I missed."

From the description: "The tour of the mod-exclusive community of New Old Port continues, with friendly and awesome mod Mellisbaker still at the helm, leading me through the sights and sounds and amazingness that only Minecraft Awesome's most dedicated citizens could make. Not only do the mods do a thankless job day in and day out, they continue to prove that they're also some of the best builders on this server."

Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome prepares to turn a corner and go into TRIPLE DIGITS in "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 99: Redstone Magicry Results In The Mailing Of A Pig!"

From the description: "One episode away from triple digits, Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome continues to look at the mod-exclusive community of New Old Port. Today's episode features the super-huge, super-impressive mailing system of New Old Port, which is basically a giant UPS available to all NOP denizens that was built with a lot of time, effort, and magic redstone trickery that confuses, amazes, and slightly horrifies me."

MAIA Episode 100!

After several months, a lot of random builds, and lots of wandering around, Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome celebrates ONE HUNDRED episodes in "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 100: PD Is Very Thankful And Celebrates 100 Episodes!".

From the description: "And so it's finally come to pass: after months of playing around, fooling around, touring around, and rambling around semi-coherently, Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome has reached the impressive milestone of 100 episodes. I'd like to once again thank the MAIA fanbase for their continued support, without you there's no way I would have had the energy and desire to take this series into triple digits. As always, I'd like to thank Fraser as well for being a constant source of motivation and inspiration. Thanks everybody! I can't say "thank you" enough. You guys are awesome and here's to 100 more episodes!"

The tour of New Old Port takes center stage once again in "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 101: A Hotel In A Mod-Exclusive Community".

From the description: "The tour of New Old Port gets back underway and in fact nears its conclusion, as awesome mod Mellisbaker continues to tour me through the sights and sounds of the new world's mod-exclusive community. I run afoul of those devil mooshroom abominations, and also get my troll on as I walk through a hotel built in the middle of an exclusive community."

Due to some various complications I'm a bit behind on plugging the latest episode of MAIA, and I'm behind on recording MAIA as well. Sorry guys! I plan to record all day tomorrow and upload two episodes instead of the usual one on Saturday, the next day a MAIA episode is scheduled.

That said, the latest MAIA episode is currently "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 102: A Fond Farewell To New Old Port".

From the description: "My special tour of the mod-exclusive community of New Old Port comes to a close today, as I check out some final sights, get toured around a bit more by the awesome mellisbaker, and finally depart with some encouraging words of hope and respect towards the ever-present team of moderators and builders that help make this server so great."

Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome begins its next big arc in a two-for-one special! I take on the Minecraft Awesome server's new anime-themed community, Neo Japan, in MAIA Episodes 103 and 104!

From the description: "With several New World locations already under my belt, it's time to fulfill my promise and check out my friend's new community! Now officially named "Neo Japan", this anime-themed community is ran by three great builders who, working with a team of also-awesome Minecraft Awesomers, have built a growing community that already has cool builds, sprite art, and lots to explore!"

The tour of Neo Japan concludes in "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 105: Domo Arigato Neo Japan! Sayonara!".

From the description: "And so the "mini-arc" tour of the Neo Japan community draws to a close! Neo Japan is a growing community and there's a lot of room to grow, and while some of the anime references were lost on me, I still enjoyed looking at all the nice builds in Neo Japan so far. With a team of great builders and leaders behind it, Neo Japan has a whole lot of potential and I can't wait to see what changes by the time I head back to this community."

It fills me with a considerable amount of pride to present my own Minecraft Awesome community in "Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome Episode 106: We're Still Here, And We're Still Random".

From the description: "Now it's time for some shameless self-promotion! I'm more than happy to tour my own New World community, Still Random! Just like the original Random in the original world, Still Random is a "build anything anywhere for any reason" community, and it's this unique idea that has helped make Still Random a growing community of great builders!"

MAIA Videos for the week

In order to cut down on post spam (which I've been accused of in the past) I'm going to start waiting until I've finished my week of Minecraft Awesome Is Awesome videos to post the videos on the topics I use to advertise this series. So, I'll be going from three posts with one video per week to one post with three videos per week.

With that said, this week's videos feature my large community "Still Random", including a giant, functioning Mario Kart racetrack! Hope you enjoy, feedback is always appreciated.

MAIA Update!

Time for another big ‘ol MAIA resurrection update! I’m
actually not dead, just crazy busy lately. To help stop the post necromancy, I’m
going back to my previous way of updating this topic, which is to update once
every time a new episode comes out. Hope y’all understand, and as always,
thanks so much for the feedback and remember to stay awesome!

Holy crap I'm back!

It feels a lot longer, but I think I've only missed a month or so since I've been actively recording and editing and uploading and all that stuff. But I'm back now, and the builds of the Minecraft Awesome server are as awesome as ever. Due to the fact that I switched from YouTube to Blip due to YouTube being... well, being asshats... I now only post short one-minute highlight videos to each individual episode, with the link to the full episode being in the description of the YouTube video.

So, since a lot of forums still have specific codes for YouTube, I'm just going to be embedding the short YouTube highlight videos and not to the longer, blip-hosted full videos.

And that's that! I'll be spreading the love to this board, the other main boards I post on, and maybe even some new boards if Google is being kind to me. Just want to give a big "thank you" to all my supporters across the internet! You guys are the definition of awesome.

The tour of "The Edge" continues as I get a little personal concerning my recent hiatus from Minecraft and, in general, all things internet. Hope y'all enjoy! Remember, link to full video in the description. I'll put that disclaimer in one more time (in the next video) and then remove it so as not to be redundant.

The latest episode of MAIA features more open and honest talk about where I've been and why I've been gone, set to more awesomeness from The Edge community, including the famous/infamous Edge Brothel. Hope y'all enjoy!

MAIA continues to treck along with two new videos featuring "The Edge", one of Minecraft Awesome's largest, most active, most vibrant, most awesome communities! Much eye candy has been seen so far, and there's still plenty more to come!
