TOG - The Older Gamers

We surprised Sorontar with a birthday party, in Minecraft... It was a bit of a last minute decision to do it, so apologies to everyone that we didn't get a chance to publicise it and let everyone know.

So I waited until he went to bed the night before, and quickly built a tent to hold the party in. The next morning I asked Irimar to make some fireworks, and Duck set up an automatic firing show for them. I put a chest of book&quills for people to write him birthday "card"....... and then at around 8:30, I told him I wanted to show him something I'd built and sneakily teleported him into the party

The fireworks were a huge hit - especially for those of us who had never seen them before. We had so many, we had 3 big displays, plus enough for people to just set off randomly themselves - great fun!

Someone had the idea to put the heads (I'd used as decorations) on their heads - so it was sort of like party hats

Some people looked great with these heads on!

I also took a bit of video through the night. I especially love the bit where Penthrox manages to walk right up to the "camera" as I was filming the group shot!
