I'm waiting for Yogscast's side because it sounds like a misunderstanding of some sort. Either something was taken out of context, or something was expected by either side and there was little to no communication. It's a shame but it happens.

What I find slightly odd is that we have a man who jokes about one of his interviewers' mothers like he did, about other "adult" topics (that ironically he posted on his own blog from what I'm gathering? Yeah, reaaaaal classy, man.) and then has a fit about this.

If you don't think kids should hear things like the f-bomb, I might be going on a limb here, but maaaaaaaaybe you shouldn't discuss the adult things you did with the yogscast in your interview. Just sayin'. That alone seems a bit hypocritical. And as a mother, I think I'd rather my child heard the f-bomb than the "Your Mother" style jokes in the interview. As much as I wouldn't want anyone to say it to my child either, I'd much rather they be told to eff off than hear that kind of thing, too.

And last but not least, assuming some bad stuff did actually go down, wow, Notch, again a way to be classy. There are far more professional ways to handle this. But then again, he's shown he's the type to go off on twitter half-cocked (afterall, if I remember correctly he posted a bunch of legal documentation before redacting names like he should have).

I can only hope that yogscast will be a bit more tactful with their response, but from the sounds of it, it looks like it might end up being them blasting back at him. Shame, really.

I really find it odd though that he could go so quickly from "This is the best interview I've had" to what we are seeing now on his twitterfeed. This stinks of something else that may have been moldering between the two parties but just wasn't bad enough until this came to a head.

My guess is that both parties probably erred in some manner, but that whatever it was, it did not warrant the kind of behavior that is going on (and appears *will* occur).

Ok, first of all everyone, this is none of our business. This cannot be change by a few words of taking sides or talking trash about each other. I think Notch is over reacting just a tad, and also he needs to sit down and talk to Yogscast again. I'm not saying Yogscast didn't do these things, but it might not be 100% true. Yes, Yogscast might have said some things they shouldn't have said, but Notch should act his age and not spread gossip all over the world. Nether of the parties should act this way.

Notch is making a war with Yogscast right now that will become worse and worse until its an all out war zone. Friends will choose sides and then fight each other ,and Notch tweeting about it won't help anyone, even you. Finally, people if you want to choose sides fine do it, but don't ruin yourselves over one stupid fight. :dry.gif:

So come on everyone stop the fight, or jump into it and find yourself not coming out.

Also this could have just could have been a misunderstanding in their communication. Remember Notch is from Sweden and the Yogscast is from Britan.

Omg everyone seriously, we are calling Yogscast retards,asses, and all of the above. Man all of this started from just one little tweet Notch made. Man everyone grow up, its not worth fighting about. Your no more better then Yogscast for acting immature, and acting on bias statements. Your acting just like the people your aggressively trying to insult. That makes you wonder, don't you think they have the right to talk trash about you, but they don't. So stop acting like children.

This be an intresting predictament it is...........
From Notch's point of view the Yogcast seem like assholes.
We have yet to hear their point of view. So lets not take sides.
I agree with the Yogscast for wanting to wait. A 24 hour flight is not very fun.
But if it does come out that this be true I expect a apology from them.
I do understand that its part of their society to curse like a salior but this is the US.
Im not saying that all of us here in the US think its bad but the ones that think its wrong
do have things against it.
Also its Notch's event, not the Yogscast so they should have thought about it and said "Maybe dropping the F-Bomb isnt the right thing to do."
I dont know what the policies were but Notch should have outlined the vulgar language a little bit better, seeing he knows how the Yogscast is.

So people CALM DOWN! THIS MAY BE A MISUNDERSTANDING.
