   Nicky and Eric know how to be way too late to a trend. And this trend happens to be the fifteen year old, almost eligible to for a driver's license, game, Minecraft. Minecraft is a sandbox game developed and published by the Swedish company Mojang Studios. Following its initial public alpha release as an early access title in 2009, it was formally released in November 2011 for personal computers.

A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap!
