That black guy that thought Donkey Kong was racist because he looked like a black man and tried to sue Nintendo but then Nintendo won and Donkey Kong was actually a parody of King Kong and the black guy went bananas.

It originally started because of a glitch that happened when generating a new world it'd sometimes bring over bits and pieces of buildings from previous worlds, meaning you'd see random man-made objects when normally that wasn't possible (This was before they added underground mineshafts and npc villages)

Then for some reason they made a shitty ghost story about notch having a dead younger brother who haunted the game or something

/v/ started telling camp fire stories when the game was in indev (before multiplayer was added), how there was another player character in their game, watching them from a distance and disappearing if they got close

there'd also be stories of seeing structures that seemed "man made" and not generated by the RNG (pic related). honestly it was just people imagining things but minecraft was a lot more fun when there was a horror pitch to it and not being swarmed by 13 year olds

>>376058351
>music disc 11 was in the game's files for a while during the beta
>the games tone when you're deep underground could have been like that
>instead we got endermen as the spooky factor

Has there ever been a video game myth that wasn't fake?
