So today's post might be supernatural, but more than likely is just made up. Either way when you read all the accounts and add in the various youtube videos its funny how far people are willing to go to be part of a legend. The Legend Of Herobrine.
So Minecraft is a game where you're on an island and use blocks to build and explore your little paradise. It's much more complicated in that but this isn't a games review now is it, even though i would highly recommend checking it out. The legend started when one player created a new single player map. Everything was going fine at first as he did the usual exploring and building, however While chasing a cow into thick fog, that means your pc doesnt have to render the rest of the world, he saw something a little strange, another person looking back at him. After a quick check to make sure they weren't in multiplayer mode the other player ran off into the fog before he could get near him.
After increasing the view distance things started to get even stranger, pyramids of sand in the ocean, trees with all their leaves cut off and tunnels and passages that couldn't have been created naturally.
Now if you've ever played Minecraft before you do come across caverns underground and the occasional cave of overhang, but nothing that would really constitute as an actual passage, at least none anywhere near as neat as these.
The story continues with the player posting on the forum only to find the post was constantly deleted, and after a while the user got a pm off a user simply saying 'Stop.' The user? Of course it was Herobrine. So not only does he go into peoples games but he also pm's them from an account that takes them to a 404'd page.
With no luck and about to give up the user received an email off of another player, claiming the mods read and deleted forum posts but that there were a small number of other players who had seen him as well in worlds that contained clearly man-made structures.
After contacting some of the other players and with a little research they found out that the name was used by a Swedish gamer, the brother of the games creator Notch. They emailed Notch and asked him whether he had a brother called Herobrine and received this response...
'I did but he is no longer with us.'
Some legends are based on the fact that they are believed, that the more people who give credence to the idea the stronger it gets until it comes into existence. But does Herobrine actually exist? After some digging and some hardcore googling I found out that Notch had no Brother, Herobrine isn't supposed to be part of the game and the instances where he's been seen in game have apparently been as a re-textured painting or door. But if he is real as some still claim then why has no one ever approached him? So many videos have the player noticing and screaming for their life. But why? So far I haven't seen any story or hints that Herobrine can influence anything outside the game yet they act like he's going to jump out the screen and peel their skin off. I'm not convinced one bit.
Overall Herobrine is an interesting story that is quite creepy. We've all played a game where we would swear that someone was watching us, or that items had been moved ever so slightly from where we left them. Even if fake it's still amusing enough to be worthwhile, and well if he is real? There is a slight chance that a fault in the games code went unnoticed and spawned another creature like a cow or a chicken that had the same characteristics as the player, but is an incredibly rare event. Or maybe Herobrine does exist, just most of the time he's too busy watching you to build anything.
Happy gaming!
