I love how when they entered the Care Bears build you get a load of people who just orgasmed from a My Little Pony build saying “What the hell is this?” “This is embarrassing” “This is gay, bro. Totally gay.”
A few notes…
Studio Ghibli is pronounced with a soft G. Like ‘giblets’. It’s a Japanization of the original Arabic word which is pronounced with a hard G. Watch this video at around 48 seconds in to hear it.
Also, when saying “Totoro” you seem to be putting stress on the wrong syllables. It’s more like “TO-toro,” not “to-TORo.”
I would say that you’re pronouncing Van Gogh wrong but there seems to be a rule against informing Americans/Canadians about that. I’ll just mention that “goth” is much closer to the real pronunciation than “go” is. It’s still incorrect, but that’s what I settle for because the phlegmy sound you’re supposed to use isn’t in the English language so nobody expects you to use it. And people tend to make fun of you or call you pretentious if you use the correct Dutch sound.
You could have used the song “Vincent” by Don McLean. It is about van Gogh and starts with the line, “Starry Starry Night.” It would have been perfect!
You HAVE to watch the segment with the sound off the “Vincent” playing in the background. It’s kind of like “The Dark Side of the Moon” and “Wizard of OZ!”
Fraser thinks My Little Pony is stupid, yet he knows the lyrics to the Care Bears Countdown, remembers some characters named ‘Hugs and Tugs’, among other characters, and recognizes locations and bears from the show with very little help. Nope, that’s not hypocritical.
Despite that sillyness, great job everyone! It was worth the wait to see these incredible builds.
THE BEST build challenge. I was blown away with every build. Good job everyone! And Fraser did an awesome job seeing everything and zooming out to get the complete picture.
It’s all downhill from here. No Idea how you guys could top this. Dr Seuss was my favorite build until I watched this.
In my opinon, the coolest build ever so far! It took its time, it got really hiped, but god did it deliver!
There was only one thing that set me off at one point. Really, you found no theme for the Starry Starry Night? Thats a bad miss Frash Frash! This song even aired in the Simpsons once, I really thought you would get it!
I was so glad to be working on this build. Truth be told, I wasn’t sure what to expect from everyone else (I had only looked at Zeal and Cloudsdale prior to the show airing), so I was absolutely amazed at all the awesome stuff people had made!
If only Fraser didn’t challenge me to top Skyloft… *cries*
I had to leave right before the Zeal build and what did I miss. Even though I don’t really remember this part of Chrono Trigger, I still had goosebumps. I need to play this game again soon.
Even though I don’t care about those ponies, the build was pretty impressive as everything else was. Especially the Highwind, it gave me goosebumps too.
Good job builders!
I really want to start playing on the server but I don’t want to dirty it with my boring cobblestone castles/houses when there are those awesome builds.
Join anyway! We all started making cobblestone houses (I’m STILL making them, actually, for my personal build), and you never know what you’re capable of until you push yourself into it!
Man I really need to get back to playing Minecraft. I’m not all good with it but watching these videos of them playing it make me want to get into it even more!
I didn’t fangasm out on the last two as much as a couple of the other ones, but the size and accuracy were completely baffling. Amazing job to everyone involved, can’t wait for the next one! I couldn’t care less about the actual Olympics, but I’ve gotta see what they come up with.
I’m assuming you are talking about their Chrono Trigger playthrough. If you are, I agree, Ben should be Frog. Fraser should be Hanko, and Becky should be the princess.
*sees sonic part* No…no….NOT AGAIN!!! NO!!! “Unless it was read by dark sonic” No! Don’t! *does voice* DARN YOU!! *sees chat say “master emerald!!”* *does chat voice* “THE MASTER EMERALD!! ITS AMAZING” No! NO DAMN YOU!! “I’m sorry guys” No. You are NOT sorry. I try, I fucking try to not make fun of YOU but do you care? NOOOO! You just go and screw up my life huh? AND YOU GOT THE WRONG MUSIC!!! “I should make fun of myself more when I nerd about things.” Yes…YES YOU SHOULD!! How about Naruto? Or that Dead Wood thing, or that Home Movies. I HATE those but I am respecting you and don’t say nothing but COD DAMMIT FARSHAR!! *unsubs* Game over man.
Just kidding…but you should make fun of yourself more because GOD nerd about things alot. Keep up the funz.
yo yo black sonic yo i heard you kids like guns so i put guns in your sonic games yo
lol but don’t let fraser get to you. I was a little disappointed that he got the wrong music too, but at least he got sonic music (which is almost always awesome music)
Becky: I didn’t want to say it because people would be like “your an idiot”.
I like how Becky, probably the mostly liked person on the show who hardly gets made fun of says that.
well, in my opinion,the van gogh build was fucking gorgeous! All of them were, but it was the one that made me whoa the most. Of course, its just my opinion. But yeah, skyloft was fucking amazing as well! And My little pony build, and chrono trigger, and and and… my fucking god, which one was the best?? Cant decide!
I’m glad you think as such! A lot of people have been telling me Skyloft was the best build of Sky Build, which actually put a LOT of stress on me prior to the show! @__@
Out of all the amazing things the builders have made, this is the most amazing, gorgeous, original and detailed build they’ve done in my humble opinion. This build made me whoa all the way through in a loud voice! Congratulations to every single person that made this posible! Kudoos! You fucking deserve it!
Youtube comment from Mellisbaker: “I based the build on the first gameplay trailer for the game… took some creative rights on sections that were not seen on the trailer…”
Becky, I’m surprised you don’t know Gorillaz considering they’re designed by Jamie Hewlett. If you look up the character Noodle you’ll see a lot of similarities with Tank Girl.

I’m happy to see that you have kept the old setup for the build challenges. I tthink that was a good choice, Fraser. Also: AMAZING builds!

The difference being that Fraser had probably watched the Carebears growing up, you know, in the 80s.
awhaleable said on July 27, 2012
Are you sure it wasn’t the 70′s? or maybe 60′s…
juuuuust kiddingplzdon’tbanme
firebird12 said on July 25, 2012
am i the only one who kept singing the care bare theme song?
YAYGaming said on July 26, 2012
I would have, but having been listening to Care Bear music almost 24/7 while building the place, I didn’t want to.
Dr. Doom said on July 25, 2012
Embarrassingly, I got all the references in the MLP:FIM build. And I’m a 23 year old man!

I’m kicking myself so very, very hard that I didn’t help out with that MLP build.

Wow, I think like, three fourths of the builds gave me legit chills. Wish I could have seen it live. Major kudos to all the builders!

Apoc said on July 26, 2012
I’m fine with Ben being Frog, Robo or the most fitting, obviously, Ayla.
Becky would probably be a good Marle but I somehow want her to be Lucca.
Fraser will be Chrono with a wig since he’s the main character.
IbunWest said on July 26, 2012
I agree Ben should be Ayla. He was already Catwoman, after all.
While it might make more sense for Becky to be Marle, her outfit is kind of plain. Lucca’s would be much more interesting.
awhaleable said on July 27, 2012
I could totally see Ben as Ayla. Becky could go either Marle or Lucca yeah, Marle is probably easier but Lucca would be cool to see

I really wish they would have built Peach’s Castle on top of Bowser’s Castle in the sky from Paper Mario. That would have been too awesome for words.
