[RE-EDITED VERSION OF THIS EPISODE](lbry://@ZebGaming#1e172ff73f739f46979e5fe1389f8ab7d1bc4a87/sgzplaysminecrafte1re-edited) ## Video Description This is the original version of the first episode of SuperGeniusZeb Plays Minecraft. It was the first video ever uploaded to the SuperGeniusZeb channel on YouTube... and it shows. It’s definitely not one of my better videos, but I had almost no experience back then, so that’s not exactly unexpected. Still, if you’re curious where it all began, then this episode will tell you. And perhaps you’ll find early 2015 Zeb’s lack of professionalism humorous... I know I certainly found it a little funny. To me, this episode also serves as a reminder of just how far this series has come, and also how far I've come in my video-production skills. So what happens in this episode? Well, I decide to start a survival Minecraft let’s play series, and I open up the oldest world I have. After entering the barely-used world for the first time in over 2 years, I proceed to improve my rather basic little shelter, make some tools, plant some trees, and punch some trees. Except that I do it all on-camera with no cuts or timelapses because I had no experience doing this sort of thing before… so enjoy over 40 minutes of menial tasks and awkward periods of silence interrupted by periods of me messing up sentences, forgetting what I’m talking about, and trying not to acknowledge the sound of my siblings arguing in the background. =P You can read more about my thoughts on this episode here: https://supergeniuszeb.com/blog/looking-back-on-the-demo-world-sgz-plays-mc-1/ ## Other information [YouTube Mirror](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-isu18ibSk) Originally uploaded to YouTube on 2015-05-09 - I think that was the same day I recorded it. I used [Fraps](http://fraps.com/) to record the video and I used [VSDC Free Video Editor](http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor) to edit it. Those aren’t the apps I would recommend to other people making videos, though. These days, I use [OBS](https://obsproject.com/) and the Windows 10 [Xbox Game DVR](https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/capture-game-clips-and-screenshots) for recording, and I use [Kdenlive](https://kdenlive.org/) for editing.

I'm not exactly a professional, as you can tell. Sorry about my sisters yelling in the background and me slurring some of my words together. I'm not used to talking while wearing headphones in front of a screen, and I should've told my sisters I was about to record. But oh well, aside from that I think this episode is pretty decent, and at least the intro looks cool. There are some boring moments, though, and I might come back later on and edit this episode to have cuts or sped-up scenes when I'm not talking. So anyway, in this episode I return to my first Minecraft World that I haven't played on since April 28, 2013, soon after the release of Minecraft 1.5. I will be playing on 1.5.2 until I decide I'm ready to update to 1.6 and onward, because it's kind of fun to play on older versions sometimes, and I want to generate a considerable amount of old pre-1.7 terrain before I update to that version.
