Talk:Herobrine

Herobrine stream information! / Video editor needed!
Just to inform watchers/editors of this page, I am currently in talks with Copeland, the person who started the original Herobrine stream that propelled Herobrine into popularity. I'm getting a new wealth of knowledge from my talking, and shall be wikifying it ASAP. Some of this data has already been wikified, which you can currently peruse. I have asked him several questions the wiki likely wants to know. Why, how, who knew, did you expect it to blow up, what happened after etc. etc. He has also put himself forward to do the voice-section of the Herobrine video I've tried to get set up, much like Curse's own videos. This is a great turn of events! We just need a video editor to squash all of this together, so if anyone wants to volunteer, please do message!! --Kizzycocoa 00:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Herobrine Pronunciation (Help needed!)
Kizzycocoa, for the American pronunciation, I don't think people pronounce it the "brine" as the "brin" in Sergey Brin. Most people pronounce it as "heerobrine" (brine rhymes with fine). Could you change that please? Thanks --M0rphzone(talk) 02:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * see, I'm unsure there. Most of my American friends said it as such. Tell me, these friends/you, did you formulate your pronounciation after, or before we put it on the wiki page? Because before, all the American youtubers, my American friends, and even outsiders I had spoke to ho were American generally used that pronunciation, prior to us setting the Swedish/mojang/stream's standard as canonically correct.
 * I shall change it, implying a culture difference, but I will want some form of study done. Such as asking random friends in your countries what they'd say, and making a statement such as "generally, Americans pronounce it like this". --Kizzycocoa 02:37, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have escalated this to a study, just so we can be sure.
 * I strongly recommend all participants find non-minecrafters, and ask them, so to keep the study free of any existing bias. --Kizzycocoa 02:49, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I have contacted most of my English friends who don't play MC, including my entire family. They all say "bryne". A common reason was because a brine is a salt water thing. Perhaps this is the lead factor? --Kizzycocoa 02:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * When I first saw that name, the pronunciation I ended up with before reading or knowing anything was herro brin (think of Korean stereotypes with speech and second syllable rhymes with chin).  03:42, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That is the incorrect version, whch we're attempting to trace. Where are you, location wise? Please add yourself to our chart if you can!
 * I myself saw it as bryne. as I first-hand went through the Herobrine process live, I know I saw the image before the stream, thus mine wasn't affected. if anyone thinks it unfair, do a -1 on the UK hiro-bryne count. --Kizzycocoa 22:31, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added myself to the Herro-Brin tally. My brother and I have always pronounced it that way and, while I can't put any names to this, am sure i've heard other use this pronunciation too. --GhostOfRattman 02:55, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This is very likely. all major fansongs use the brin version, which prompted the wiki to find the bryne version as canonical, due to mojang and brocraft use. The question now is, how did users come up with the brin version? Brine is already known to be a salt water compound, but where has brin come from?--Kizzycocoa 03:00, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I used to pronuce it Herro-Brin like in this song of Herobrine [] but now I pronuce it Hiro-Bryne plus that song is good! :) Megatron James 16:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello! I saw Help needed about pronouncing Herobrine's name and thought I'd add my bit. I'm American and I say it the supposedly European way, "Hero + brine". All the players I know (also Americans) also say it this way. I'm from the West Coast, so there may be regional differences within the US.

Yeah, Kizzycocoa, it's pronounced "Hare", "Oh", "Brine".173.150.175.56 06:20, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I just noticed your reply, Kizzycocoa. Seeing as Herobrine is the brain child of some random person who made a "creepy pasta" image, I don't believe there is a correct, or incorrect, way to pronounce it. It is also unlikely anyone can trace down the creator of the image, considering damnable evidence they created it isn't exactly possible. Herobrine should be considered similar to an equivocal word, like bass, coop, or close, even though there are possibly more than two pronunciations throughout the community, like herro-bryne, hiro-bryne, herro-brin, hiro-brin, etc., and they all mean the same thing.  01:13, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

- Herobrine Video info-
- Click on URL to see a Video of him. - <Video deleted>
 * This is not going on the page. at all. Herobrine is not real, and that video would severely contrast with this fact. This wiki is ten times the resource than that video.
 * Furthermore, if you want to share your video playlists, do not do so on the wiki. we are a wiki. not a forum. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 22:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

"Current stance on Herobrine" logical fallacy.
A quote was posted under the stated section by the joint developer stating,"We have no plans at all to add herobrine. I doubt this will ever change.", yet the section states that the quote *confirms* Herobrine will never see an official release. That should be changed so as not to draw conclusions and prevent bias. 184.57.161.27 08:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I do not see how this is a logical fallacy. herobrine is not in minecraft, and will never see an official release. this is true. He does, however, have a mod release. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 21:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe you miss the point. The support this article gives for Herobrine never seeing an official release only says they "doubt" they will change their minds on the topic of Herobrine, yet they've repeatedly changed their minds in the past. One cannot base a factual statement on a doubt expressed by the developers. Therefore, I suggest one changes the section to say something along the lines of, "This confirms that at this point, the developers have no intention of adding Herobrine," instead of using the word "never" for something that cannot be proven as fact. 184.57.161.27 03:17, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * They have only changed their mind once, actually. Regardless, I do believe most of Mojang do not want him in-game, but do like him as a concept. I expect the act of refusing to make him go in-game, while removing him every update, is merely to antagonise this subject further. There is no doubt in my mind that Herobrine will never see an official release. can it be proven? no. Is it the likely outcome? yes.
 * The reason it sounds so final, is to attempt to curb Herospam. It is to tell users that he will never be in, so they aren't so gullible to the rumours. If I put "likely", users could use that to say "!OMG HE'S IN EVERYONE!!!!!", leading to masses of Herospam from users who've never seen him, but want to be the "cool" crowd who have, who are in turn, also lying.
 * The never stops that scenario from occurring in the future. In the event of his EXCEEDINGLY UNLIKELY addition, we will happily rephrase it. until then, that never is the difference between gullibility and sanity. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 16:54, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Original troll video
Has anyone recorded the troll video of Herobrine that was on Brocast? If so plz upload to Youtube and give me the Url on my user talk page thank you! Megatron James 21:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I have gone to nearly everyone involvedin that stream in a hunt for this video. I have had no success. But if someone does have a recording, the wiki would very much like to obtain it. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 21:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Kizzycocoa have ever seen the Brocraft stream because I am doing research on Herobrine my self but some times I do it at night on sometimes I freak out because no lights are on and my bro has 2 flashlights and shines it in my room and creeps me out Megatron James 16:43, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I have. I wish I could transfer those memories to screen, but I can't. so most of this page relies on my memory, which can be faulty at times.
 * For example, I thought the jumbled message in the "Him.html" was hidden in the source code and had a black background. I was wrong.
 * Non-the-less, he is not real. at all. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 16:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I belive you that he's fake but I have some part in me that belives in him and I have seen him before without mods but I must be going crazy but I saw the user Herobrine on a server once but after that encounter on Multiplayer I havent seen him since. But my friends and I are looking for who the User Herobrine is and then figure out if is in Minecdraft and how to get rid of Him. For good. Megatron James 16:57, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh! apparently some people were recording there xboxs with an iPod and they saw Herobrine so checked out all of these peoples videos and they didnt have a edititng software so maybe Herobrine is In the Xbox edition but not in Pc????????? Megatron James 17:18, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * In this video it was tooken in Beta 1.7.3 for X box and an invisble thing was attacking this person and placing blocks or is this a bug [] Megatron James 17:28, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Let us think this over for a second.
 * is this the work of an ominous mythical game-haunting entity, who's sole goal is to somehow troll you in particular, because you're just that special that he hates you.
 * or is it a bug.
 * I'll let that question sink in. feel free to post what is the rational answer :T
 * As for the PC multiplayer sightings, bots. bots or MP mods. both are possible, even in vanilla. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 17:39, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Could it be...No. Megatron James 17:57, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I am Searching for Herobrine on Pocket edition I will add abnormal pictures If I find any occurences
 * Megatron James 18:37, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * No. Stop right there. All searching is pointless, and the wiki will not support a search, as it will end fruitlessly. Hell, the code itself has no Herobrine code.
 * any pictures uploaded will be deleted. And if you come back saying you saw him, I shall do as the header says. A temp block for exciting Herobrine spam. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 18:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * All right but I need all the info I can get of Herobrine so anyone out there put real info (not stories) of Herobrine on my YouTube or my Talk page. Megatron James 19:00, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * There are no real info, as he is not in MC. Your request will only attract spam and stories. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 19:21, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry I just want to know more for gods sake I'm ten years old! Should I make a video on YouTube asking for any part of the Brocast streaming? Megatron James 20:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure! the wiki desperately wants to get some form of archive footage. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 22:25, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * All right I'll make ASAP Megatron James 15:40, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Herobrine user's skin
Hello, I have a little something to contribute here. A while back I was toying with Single Player commands, and put on the skin of the Herobrine user. He was a premium user, and he had the Herobrine skin on. Likely to use in a hoax or pranking. I can assume that if this is what the account was made for, then it is still so, but I think it would be worth noting his skin if it is still the Herobrine skin. And I could confirm that he wore no capes. Coryn02 01:21, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * We have already gone over this. It's in the trivia. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 01:31, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Ah, okay, then. Coryn02 02:05, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

A simple dot
Hello!

In the "changelogs" section, the 1.4.2 "reason" needs a dot between "community" and "Only":

No reasons for the entry/Toying with the community. Only noted on the Tumblr version of the changelog, viewed through the launcher.

That's all. Thanks! Kingpowl~  es.Wiki Admin  (talk) 14:44, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Curious about Him
Herobrine has always intrigued me. I've always wanted to believe in him, even though the logical parts of my brain know He isn't real. I also wonder why He got so popular. What exactly was it that made Him so widely known? the Brocast stream? The story itself? I really wish that people wouldn't make fake video's about Him, because I want to know the truth. All of it. And to be honest, I would love it if Herobrine was real.
 * it mostly propelled with the stream, as video is more tangible than a still image. We at the wiki have strived to cover all relevant topics on this page with complete clarity. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 18:16, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

May take years to ever get a copy of that stream from brocast/craft. It may take years... 74.73.15.166 23:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * We have tried to obtain this video, but we fear it fruitless. Even the streamer doesn't have the video. We're assuming it lost for good, unless any user was clever enough to record/save the video. --<font color="blue" style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #00FF00;"><font color="Black">Kizzycocoa 23:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

You know, Kizzycocoa, they could just make it again with the same painting, except no one would believe you the 2nd time around anyway. Stop worrying and get back to Minecraft! And if you have any sightings, then post them, please! Otherwise, just enjoy the indie gem that's Minecraft!
