Had you told our guest in this episode a few years ago that he was going to go from building one of the most popular mods in Minecraft to working directly on the Nether Update as a Mojang employee, he may have laughed at you. But kingbdogz has proven all of his worst critics wrong and gone to the top spot, and we're so lucky that he shared his story with us!

Brandon Pearce is kingbdogz, creator of the Aether and Aether 2 mods, member of Gilded Games, and all around an absolute corker of an Aussie bruce. In this interview we talked about his history of building incredibly popular mods, how he got started in game development with Gilded Games, and what he did to eventually land a job at the Stockholm offices of Mojang as a Gameplay Developer on Minecraft.

When most people decide they want to become pro gamers and Minecraft content creators, they start a Let's Play series and join an SMP. When OMGChad decided he wanted to get into video and podcast production, he got a job in the industry working with established teams and well-known studios. The eventual result is one that could almost be expected by someone with his drive for success: He's one of the most popular Minecraft YouTubers around.

OMGChad is the host of a variety of tech shows, events, and even podcasts. He's worked with people like Brian Brushwood (Scam School) and Leo Laporte (TWiT.tv) as he's journeyed towards becoming a well-known face with a trademark flashy hair style that has graced the stage at Minecon, joined the official Minecraft live streams, and hosted many events over the years.

In this episode, we got to interview Mojang team member, Helen Zbihlyj (AKA HelenAngel) about her work as a Minecraft Community Manager! It was such a pleasure having her on the show, especially because this took two tries to get it right!

We talked about Helen's past work with Minecraft and other Microsoft video games (and beyond), listened to her thoughts on the importance of having a community manager, and put in a request to add a mob into the game. Though, it doesn't sound likely that our request will be granted. :'(

Thank you Helen for joining us!
