i heard there is a party at your place / its gonna be the bomb!!
A Minecraft Creeper post.
You spend the afternoon building a tower of blocks with your nephew. He watches, silently, with great interest. When it's finished he walks up and kicks it over. He's two. He'll do it again. Three weeks on the presentation. In the last meeting before launch, a man from another department whom nobody has met says "just a quick thought", and the whole thing comes down. You finish the 1,000-piece jigsaw except for one corner, then go to put the kettle on. The cat, who has never shown interest in anything, has been waiting all week for this moment. You've cleaned the shared kitchen until it gleams. Your flatmate comes in quietly behind you, says "oh, nice", and makes a fry-up. Every pan. Every surface. The smoke alarm hisses its approval. **Why it caught on:** the Creeper is Minecraft's silent green monster, which Markus Persson has said began as a botched pig model, and it sneaks up, hisses and blows up whatever you spent the afternoon building. Every player has lost a house to that sound, and everyone knows someone who arrives just as the work is finished.
