On July 26th 2011, Notch, Minecraft’s creator, posted on his Google + account a screenshot of his game featuring new monsters that will appear in an upcoming update. In a Reddit’s post from the same day, Notch stated that the mob’s name would be Enderman as a reference after someone, user drodeznop, coined the name “Slender Man”. An entry on the Minecraft Wiki has then been made with images featuring a clearer view of the creature. Because of the similarities in names and abilities with the Slender Man mythos, 4chan users from the /v/ board launched a petition to change the Enderman’s name to “Far Landers”. Notch wrote a tweet joking about the initiative, implying that he won’t change it.
Let me log off my xbox right now.
That's ****ed, I was almost done building my castle.
Anyway, I told y'all this about a week ago and nobody said anything () but:
I was with my friends on a cruise and we were playing Scrabble. So I put down 2 letters from my deck onto the board to make a word. I looked back at the other 5 letters remaining in my deck, and it spelled out 'D-E-V-I-L'. I friggin' screamed so loud.
