SethBling[10] (born 1987) is an American Let's Play YouTuber who is known for his videos focused around Minecraft as well as for speedrunning. In addition to reviewing upcoming Minecraft versions, SethBling recreated multiple video games and real phenomena in Minecraft; he says he "experimented a lot" and he exploited various bugs in Minecraft.[11][12] SethBling has livestreamed on Twitch and YouTube, but criticized the service and culture on YouTube.[13] SethBling wrote an artificial intelligence program that plays Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros., and a program that plays Super Mario Kart. Nowadays, he typically plays Mario-style games and speedruns.

Early life

SethBling grew up Jewish.[14] His nickname is derived from his AIM screen name in high school.[10] He started playing Minecraft after college, because he liked the idea of a "completely moldable world". SethBling worked as a software engineer at Microsoft for three years.[2][11]

Minecraft career

In 2012, SethBling recreated the Team Fortress 2 "Dustbowl" map in Minecraft; the map included player classes and an instant respawn system.[15][16] In the same year, SethBling created "Super Pirate Battle Royale", a Minecraft minigame for two teams in which the team that sinks the other team's ship wins,[17][18] and "SkyGrid", a Minecraft map which has very scarce resources.[19][20][21] "Skygrid" has been downloaded over 700,000 times as of September 2017.[22] Several of SethBling's minigames were featured on Minecraft Realms,[23][24][25][26] one of which is "Blocks vs. Zombies", a 2013 tower defense minigame in which players shoot arrows to defeat incoming zombies.[27][28] In 2014, SethBling and Cubehamster, also a Minecraft YouTuber, created a minigame called "Missile Wars" where players spawn missiles in order to break through the other team's wall. It was also featured on Minecraft Realms.[29][30] In 2014, SethBling recreated the sandbox video game Goat Simulator and the puzzle game Bejeweled in Minecraft.[31][32][33][34] In the same year, SethBling recreated basic functionality of Minecraft in Microsoft Excel, which included mining and crafting.[35] In 2015, SethBling created a Minecraft version of the online game Agar.io[36] as well as of Splatoon's "Turf Mode".[37] The Splatoon minigame is similar to the Wii U game: in the game, two teams of at least four players compete to paint as much of the landscape as possible in three minutes.[38][39] The Minecraft version of Splatoon also features voice chat, which the Wii U version does not.[40]

In 2015, SethBling worked with Verizon to create a web browser in Minecraft and introduce video calling functionality to Minecraft.[41][42] In 2016, SethBling created a Minecraft interpreter for the BASIC programming language.[43][44] Later that year, SethBling built an Atari 2600 emulator in Minecraft. The emulator has functional ROM and renders graphics at 60 frames per 4 hours.[45][46][47]

SethBling attended the 2013 VidCon conference[48] and was the co-host of panels at four MineCon conventions, in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015.[49][50][51][52][53] SethBling will be part of MineCon Earth, which takes place on 18 November 2017 at the Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle.[54][55]

After SethBling mentioned a downside of command blocks on a livestream, Minecraft developer Dinnerbone jokingly said he would remove command blocks from the game to accommodate him.[56] SethBling created a resource pack for Minecraft Pocket Edition Alpha 0.16.0, which was released in October 2016. This so-called "Add-On" was titled "Castle Siege Battle" and was criticised for causing glitches.[57][58]

Super Mario career

Neural networks

In June 2015, SethBling wrote an artificial intelligence program in Lua called "MarI/O" that played Super Mario World in the Bizhawk emulator. The program was based on neuroevolution of augmenting topologies; thus, it used neural networks and genetic algorithms. The program used the distance to the right Mario had traveled in the level as the program's "fitness" level. SethBling published the source code on Pastebin.com.[59][60][61] A week later SethBling trained "MarI/O" to play Super Mario Bros.; the program found a glitch SethBling did not know about.[62] The program was not able to complete the first level of Super Mario Bros. because of complicated spacial movements required to jump over obstacles.[13] SethBling's Super Mario World neural network was featured in a video by PewDiePie.[63]

In November 2017, SethBling built a recurrent neural network to play Mario Kart. He trained the program, "MariFlow", with 15 hours of video footage; in the video, he plays Mario Kart so that the program learns how to recover from dead-end situations. The program uses a TCP pipe between Lua, which is used for emulator scripting, and Python, in which the machine learning code is written.[64] It uses a nearest-neighbor algorithm for image scaling and uses the TensorFlow library.[65] The program singly won gold in the 50cc Mushroom Cup and the 50cc Flower Cup,[66] and won silver in the 50cc Star Cup.[67][68][69][70] SethBling also wrote a reinforcement learning neural network to play Mario Kart.[71][72]

Speedrunning (2013–present)

SethBling has broken the world record and his personal best for Super Mario World 0 exit (Any%) many times. He is the current runner up to the world record. SethBling was the first person to use "Credits Warp", a glitch that allows players to skip entire levels.[73][74][75] SethBling holds a former world record for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild without Amiibo,[76][77][78] and Beautiful Katamari.[79]

Other ventures

In March 2016, SethBling injected Flappy Bird code into Super Mario World SNES' RAM.[80][81] SethBling has also played Super Mario Maker.[82]
