Minecon 2015 Happening Right Now

Me like like Minecraft but we don't really have any events like that in my area because I'm not American. Last year there was an article in my country's main newspaper which took up a whole page in the newspaper titled "Minecraft is popular". I was in a
party last night and one of my friends said "who plays Minecraft" and I said "who doesn't" and we all laughed. Minecraft is popular in New Zealand and Australia too.

Minecraft is wonderful.

Minecon isn't.

I saw this by accident thinking it was linking me to information about Minecon rather than the Twitch Live Stream of the event.

There were 4 people, groups of 2 at the front of the stage.

1 in each pair was blindfolded and holding the controller while their partner had to direct them in making a Pumpkin Pie in game.

The whole conference floor was sat there having to watch that crap.

£130.00 per ticket and anyone aged 4 or above is paying FULL Ticket price to go in and watch garbage like that.

Minecraft is cool... Minecon 2015 is a waste of time.

Spending your time watching it LIVE on Twitch...?

Well it's better than playing "Thief" on the XBox ONE but not by much.

If it's so wondeful, Azrael, then why haven't you played it with me? I've been on it nearly every day for the past 3 weeks! ;P

Yep, Bran is right - it's taking place in London. If you've seen the advertisement for it on the home screen like I have, then you'll notice that they're all standing in front of Big Ben, the clocktower, which is a prominent structure there.
