Welcome to the Spong Chunks episode number 284 for Monday February 12 12, 2024.

This is a podcast all about Minecraft available across all major platforms.

If you're enjoying the show, consider subscribing wherever you're listening to this.

My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is my friend Johnny on the

road to recovery. You may know him as Pixel Rips. Hello, if you've been enjoying the road to the

Super Bowl or if you're on a road to recovery yourself then you may be interested in listening to the render distance where we talk about both of these things.

I've been ill this last week and so I've been recovering from that and of course the big game was this Sunday so if that's your bag you can listen to

the render distance that's the extended version of the podcast by becoming a patron of the

show at patreon.com slash the spawn chunks we don't talk about football and illness every weekend

but occasionally they come up when they're relevant you can also listen to in the

patron RSS feed the monthly Minecraft hangout we recorded at the end of January where we sat down with our patrons

and they shared screenshots of all the stuff they've been building in Minecraft lately.

And our quarterly hangout recorded at the beginning of February where Joel and I went over

some of the behind the scenes facts and figures of the

podcast those are still fresh so you can get them now in the patrons RSS feed

along with the extended version of the show. So as we've been talking about in the

render distance I got ill on Monday night, so I have played very little Minecraft since the last show.

I have played a little bit though, so I'll briefly recap my latest project ideas, and obviously even if you're not playing

Minecraft actively we talked about it a few shows ago about bringing in

inspiration from all sorts of different places so this is a short film that came across my path a little while ago,

somebody I follow on Twitter retweeted it, and it's basically like a special effects guy called

Paul Chadehosen, hopefully I'm pronouncing his surname, right?
