The Shaft podcast, ran from 2010 to 2015, then apparently in 2020 had a brief resurgence and died again; I'm queueing those up to listen, tho I don't know how many I'll tolerate (I don't even play Microsoft® MineCraft™ anymore, but VoxelLibre or Asuna on Luanti )
"Enjoy your stay in THE SHAFT!"
It was a MineCraft podcast, very soon there was a shared public server, which had pretty laissez-faire rules so long as you didn't murder, steal, & break art without provocation. Every day Eric was walking the beaches fixing the sand holes we'd dug, because we were a bunch of savages.
One time I was out (probably de-sanding a beach), and some noob attacked me with a flint, not even a weapon. I told him "stop!" and he didn't, so I cut him down with my diamond sword. Later that day mods show up at my fortress and make sure I'm not running around killing guys for no reason.
Years later they shut down the server, restarted it with a "fan" built professional town and a lot of rules and regulations, and it was a laggy hell, and died soon.
