[Kalahari Inkantation]

" So to really drive home the point of looking at them being bad, I made the Endermen freeze and turn towards you when you look at them. As long as you look straight at them, they stand perfectly still and look straight at you. As soon as you look away, they will run (very fast) towards you.

And they teleport. If they’re too far away to reach you in a short period of time, they will teleport about once per second. They try to make sure they always teleport to somewhere you can see, as I don’t want to confuse the player as to what is happening.

When they attack, you know it’s your fault. When you happen to look at one, you can keep looking at it to figure out how to deal with it, but you know it WILL reach you very fast once you stop looking at it.

And that, my friends, is creepy. Possibly too creepy."

oh god

oh god, it sounds like those statue things in doctor who

that's absolutely horrifying

Seriously. reddit is terrible at originality and notch is stupid for picking that name

Notch came up with the same himself.

the post on reddit was "slender man..."

then notch came up with enderman

oh god, it sounds like those statue things in doctor who

that's absolutely horrifying

ikr  with minecraft he can probably capture the terror too

The first reaction for a lot of people were to link the mob to slenderman cause it looks like slenderman.

Which is totally reasonable. I'm mad at the fact that Notch took those comments to heart and basically admitted to the world he is a hack. Again. Can he at least pretend he came up with this on his own?

I know I said notch is stupid for picking that name, because it shows that its basically taking an idea and claiming credit. Oh well, it'll still be a fun new mob

I fail to see how he is a hack because he named it after something else 

[wawi]

He should have went to SA for the name, seeing how they are the ones that created Slenderman, which it is based off of.

He's a hack because he is a mediocre programer. Whatever, you're right, it's not horrible, I just wished it was named differently.

I know I jut didn't wanna quote two pictures

This sounds pretty cool. Hopefully he sets a limit on their spawning otherwise it could get annoying.

Why is the Nether slowly becoming a safer place than the normal world? It's funny.

I'm not entirely sure. I think that one may have spawned there though. I only saw them in the ravine I found, and there were like five.
