That was the most intense, concentrated awkward I ever saw in a few minutes. Yeah, kids are awkward, but these aren't like most kids, probably not like most Minecraft fans either, my oldest nephew loves Minecraft and he's nothing like this. Fortunately...

Actually I disagree that these are not like most kids.  These probably not the popular kids or the ones who care about image or other stereotypes we see on TV but they are just average kids who probably just in an awkward point in their lives.  Most of you act as if you never encountered those awkward pre to teenage years where what was important to you probably isn’t the same for a lot of people.  Just seem like people looking down on a group like you see in grade and high school because the group of kids are not the popular bunch or care about what the popular bunch does.

 


FYI; I was one of the unpopular kids, I know the drill. I also work with youth psychiatry now, an institution for teenage boys with psycho-social problems and diagnosis. The kids in the clip remind me of the more classic Aspberger type, which isn't wrong or bad in itself, but these do not appear to be regular kids. Minecraft is very popular among those with autism and Aspberger, the meticulous and time consuming nature of it is perfect and the square, simple blocks that follows a set and logical system of behavior offer vast control in addition to creative freedom; it is the holy grail for the kids at work, out of 11 boys living there now, at least half of them are obsessed with Minecraft.
