I honestly think itd be kinda funny to see
I’m going to Del taco in Barstow. Imma tell yall about the mild sauce on the other side of town.
As said in the title. What series would you all say is some of the best? From any of the creature eras :)
I have had a soundbite of James screaming "Mr. Dude" in my head for like, a week. I don't even know if it's from the creature days, or after that or even more recently. Please if anybody has any idea what video this might be from, I would forever be in your debt.
I tried my hardest to get my hands on 1.6.2 version of the mod but 1.6.4 is just as good. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kfoI2fvW_MeBN9lH_bGw3frRgREYz0pH/view. Let me know if it works. I use Multimc and it worked when I just drag and drop it.
I remember someone having an issue with the asgard pack with the java version but they never said if my solution worked for them or not. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCreatures/comments/12j9rgn/heres_a_file_for_a_142_working_version_that/ IF something like that happens just do what I said but look for the version this one uses which is 9.11.1.1345.
Artist Joe, Intern/Chicken Joe, Aron, Jordan, and Jared (who was more behind the scenes at the Creatures, and not officially a member I don't believe)
I'm probably asking for a miracle here. I kinda just want to try it and see if I struggle just as much as they did with it.
So wholesome.
Feel like going for a trip down memory lane
It's probably been said many times before (and forgive me I am still new to this subreddit)
But I just wanted to give my thoughts on what I feel really caused the downfall of The Creatures.
I know everyone put the blame on Jordan and alot still do, but tbh it's not fair to put everything on one guy. Yeah, he made dumb decisions and tried to turn the Creatures into a business instead of keeping it a casual "hub" to support their individual channels.
But we have to remember that they were all VERY young when they first moved into the creature house. I wanna say Jordan was around 21, James was 19-20, Dan was 19, etc. The fact they made the Creatures stay alive as long as they did is honestly a miracle. If I were in Jordan's shoes I probably would have sunk that ship 7 years prior to when it finally did sink.
After coming back all these years later and re-watching some of their videos and re-watching Jordan's video explaining the reason for The Creature Hub shutting down, I can still put some of the blame on Jordan, but I think the rest of the blame needs to be shifted towards all the people who came up with the original idea to put ALL of their focus into the Creature Hub channel. Maybe it was ALL Jordan's idea, but we will never truly know.
If they would have just used the channel as a "hub" for silly IRL videos, live stream highlights, and fan-mail unboxings while continuing to put most of their time/effort into their own individual channels as they always had been before moving in together, I think each one of them would have turned out more successful than they are currently.
If they just would have done that, we might have never even seen The Creatures break up in the first place and they might still all be working together in an office (I say the office because realistically 30+ year old dudes aren't still gonna be roommates all these years later lol) making content for their own channels, doing live streams/update videos for the hub, and just having fun as friends like the good ol' days.
Instead they focused 100% of their energy into the Hub and trying to create the next Rooster Teeth (ironically who they ended up pairing with towards the end) which I felt from the very start it would only lead to disaster because the focus was no-longer on fun with friends, but on shoving out content to grow a business.
All in all we cannot change the past and shit happened for a reason. Youtube and Google's ad revenue changes probably had a MASSIVE effect on their channel as well. Lots of factors of course have to be taken into account before we pin everything on one guy.
On a side note, It's wonderful seeing some of The OG Creatures coming back together like in Dans most recent video of them playing Lethal Company, but it still feels empty without James, Jordan, Sp00n, and Aleks. Maybe one day we will have an official return of The Creatures like back in the day.... but who knows at this point

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTIONS, ESPECIALLY THE STREAM ONE
Edit : Btw you can use the torrent links, now, if you want. The files say 99% but they are full, idk why it says that.
Just wondering if there is a discord group similar to this Reddit? Sharing old vids or just chatting/reminiscing
I remember being a kid and having a lot of free time, so much so that after days of generating new worlds I eventually got the exact same seed of the 'Minecraft: Adventures with Pineapple and Chuck Greene', it was just the spawn was different from Nova's video - 13 years later I attempted this as an adult recently and got some seeds somewhat close to the original, here's an example of the closest looking one.
Most likely be better off just recreating the spawn area than generating new worlds but it would be nice to have that luck as I did as a kid and get the exact seed - makes it harder to get considering this update of Minecraft was before manually putting in seeds were a thing.
Junkyards channel fell victim to one of those crypto scam hacks where they rename the channel and live stream some crypto nonsense. Do not follow any links and hopefully he gets the channel back swiftly
It's been about a year since the seed has been found and as the co-co-co-co-founder of it, I want to see if anyones done anything with it. Doesn't have to be crazy. It can be a valley of mudhuts, I dont care.
Dan posted this is in his Discord chat regarding the future of the Hub following the RT shutdown!!
mine was a mixture between nova and sly. i was introduced to a livestream where nova was playing in some big minecraft server.
Hey everyone! After the warm reception to my last post, one of you decided to start a discord server for us fans! If you would like to join, here's the link
I don’t even know how to get in contact with someone at WB or RT but I will do my damndest to offer what money I can spare to buy the creatures if no one else will
Does any of this affect cow chop or creature channel?

On Dan's YouTube! Ft Junkyard, Chilled, Ze, Sp00n, Sly and Dan.
Edit: Also including Kevin (GoldenBlackHawk) and Gassy Mexican!
It was this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCreatures/comments/5gouon/so_i_just_noticed_that_i_have_all_itunes_creature/
If you remember it and downloaded it, would you be so kind to upload it somewhere so I can take care of it properly?
Thanks!
(The streams reencodes are going well, it will be done. One day.)
Edit : Someone uploaded a Gdrive of the first 128 episodes, so I put those on the archive. It's missing 7 episodes right now, the site seems to have problems, but the first 121 episodes are there.
