Two words: Green Screen!
Hey everyone!
Our green screen and lights arrived today. No telling what we are going to do with it but I imagine we’ll be floating over endless Minecraft landscapes shortly…
Our new dog Marshmallow thinks the boxes are invaders!
And that green bump in the window is a Cthulhu plush, in case you are wondering.

dadsRfunny.com FAQ posted
Hi all, we posted a faq on dadsRfunny.com. We liked it so much we made it its own tab. Here’s what is says:
(F)requently (A)asked (Q)uestions
We have stopped answering these questions, mainly due to the fact that it gives us much more time to answer less-frequently-asked questions, which tend to be more fun to answer.
So here goes…
Do you have a server?
MADMA has a temporary server that is only run while filming. Since just about everything is build while we record, we have to keep the world safe between episodes.
Can you post (fill in a large number here) episodes per week?
No. We don’t have the time to make more than one new episode per week. We wish we could, but life has other demands.
Can you make the episodes (fill in a large number here) minutes/hours long?
No. 15-18 minutes is about as long as we can make them. And we’d rather cut one off at 14.5 mins at a “good point” rather than let it go 2 mins longer. Sometimes it works out that we have 17 minute episodes, sometimes 13, but they usually wind up either 14 or 15 minutes long.
Can you join my server?
No. We get too many requests for this to be feasible.
Do you have a fan server?
Yes, more than one. Click the “fan servers” tab above for more info.
Can I be in a MADMA episode?
No. Filming a MADMA episode is far more complicated than it looks. (Sorry!) BUT—if we film a dream sequence or some other odd scene on a fan server with extras, then sure, if you happen to be on, you can be in that, if/when they occur.
Are you on facebook, twitter, tumblr?

What version of Minecraft are you using?
Usually, the latest release. Sometimes we use snapshots as well.
Does Mary have a mom?
Of course Mary has a mom. She just isn’t interested in minecraft. We are working on that….
What do you record with?
FRAPS and Audacity.
Who plays Little Sasqatch?
Missyfenstrider (on youtube) who is also Mary’s older sister. She is also our channel artist.
Who is Kozimandius?
Koz (aka Chris) is Dave’s friend. He loves minecraft like we do. He has played various bits in previous short films and provide set design help as well. He’s a cool bro.
How did Mary/Dad get a cape?
By attending Minecon in 2011.
I was on one of your fan servers and got banned. Can you unban me?
Nope. Sorry, we don’t run fan servers. They are run by fans. That’s why they are called fan servers.
Do you play on Xbox/PC/Mac?
Mostly PC. Koz uses a Mac. No Xbox here.
How did you make Sasquatch’s communicator in the game?
We didn’t. It was made to look like an item in our video editing process.
Is Mary really your daughter?
Yes.
How old is Mary/Ben/Missy/Dave? (etc)
We don’t give out our ages. We can acknowledge that Missy and Ben are approximately the same age. Same for Dave and Koz.

MADMA content on dadsRfunny.com
Woah, I just realized dadsRfunny has followers on tumblr :)
So I thought I might as well write something for you guys.
We get a lot of people interested in Mary and Dad’s Minecraft Adventures, a.k.a. MADMA, because of:
a) the let’s play aspect
b) the overlaid plot involving some odd “alien” ? guy and a genetically altered pig.
Usually the one group hates the other aspect, and vice versa.
And yes, I did say genetically altered pig.
For those of you interested in b) above, especially those of you who are new to the show—especially if you haven’t seen older episodes—you might find the content on dadsRfunny.com useful. The site contains a bunch of stuff (skins, maps, etc.) but more specifically, on the main page you can find a summary of characters and some explanation as to what the heck’s going on. We have only hinted to the plot b) above and so if you want to know more (and aren’t afraid of spoilers) you can find it on:
There are two places to go for plot info:
a) the main page
b) the graphic novel prequel
I won’t explain more about those here—just visit the site if you are so inclined.
Well, thanks for following and I hope you like this post. :)
And if you are interested, we’ll write more here!
Dave, of the dadsRfunny crew
