Maizen's mountain demolition gives JJ a reason to rethink hard work
The Creeper Factory challenge joins a zombie-bus adventure and animated Shorts in an eight-upload week.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Minecraft NOOB vs PRO: CREEPER FACTORY BUILD CHALLENGE
Mikey favors hard work. JJ has other ideas, which is the useful little disagreement behind Maizen's new "Minecraft NOOB vs PRO: CREEPER FACTORY BUILD CHALLENGE." The pair have a week inside the game to gather TNT, then test whose supply can destroy more of a mountain. Gathering explosives is only half the assignment: choosing how to gather them is the real setup.
That upload follows the week's most-watched release, "SURVIVING in BUS During ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE," now approaching three million views. JJ and Mikey turn a school bus into a mobile home, then discover that renovations cannot solve every problem on the road. A blocked tunnel, a broken bridge and a mall scavenging stop keep interrupting their escape. Several commenters ask for more adventures built around the bus; others remember watching Maizen years ago, while the seemingly indestructible newscaster gets his own running joke.
Across eight uploads, Maizen also made room for smaller animated mysteries involving stolen soda, a missing key and Mikey drilling a wall. The bus and Creeper Factory videos currently draw the most daily views, with the previous week's horror-mob zoo remaining another busy stop.
Channel-wide daily viewing is roughly half again its usual level, although the subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Maizen also recorded the largest weekly view gain among the nearby Minecraft channels, with camman18 having a substantial viewing week too. For Maizen, the freshest addition is a familiar partnership with a practical disagreement: Mikey puts in the effort, and JJ looks for another method.

This is the best episode yet. All the kids and adults gathered for this one. It would be cool if you guys continued this… created a whole spinoff revolved around the bus and the infected.
