[up]The "go to college to get more knowledge" is sometimes part of it too.

Yeah, guess so. Never heard that version until now though.

Yay, knowledge for everyone!

First time I ever heard the college/knowledge version was on an episode of Hey Arnold. Up until then I'd only ever heard the Mars/candy bars one.

What about Time? I haven't looked at it for a long time. Is it still going or is it already finished?

I never heard the candy bars version, only the knowledge version.

It would appear that the girl is taking a nap up on the scaffolding, and Beret Guy just showed up out of nowhere.

[up] Beret Girl, surprisingly. Don't think I've seen that one before.

The scale of the figures makes it hard to tell for certain. That's an awful lot of information being gleaned from a few pixels. Unless there's a zoomed in version somewhere?

That part of the castle is gone now from the newest update.

Only the flag remains.

This week: can we extend the sunset?

Kind of silly topic, and Randal has added more non-sequitur jokes than usual for a What-If.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

Alright, folks, it's conclusive: Minecraft does not feature sunsets.

If you fly high enough in Minecraft so as to get the land out of draw distance, does the Sun still show up at the bottom of the sky?

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

If you destroy all the ground such that the sky is visible... yeah, I think it is. (Be caureful not to fall in, though.)

Sunraptors! The one with the sun randomly splitting in two was also good.

Time Machines

I don't really understand what he's implying.

[up][up] Just did. There's a large square in the bottom of the world that obscures the sun and the moon, even when the void is fully visible. Boo.

Although now I'm tempted to do a world that's obscured by tree leaves way up in the sky, hrmm.
