The Creeper has been Minecraft's mascot of misfortune since the game's full release in 2011, when Mojang's silent green mob became famous for sneaking up and detonating. The phrase 'was blown up by Creeper' is the game's literal death message shown when its explosion kills a player, which is why it became a copy-paste joke in chats, forums and Let's Plays. This upload, tagged with the player name redstars78, preserves that moment as a shareable clip. It endures because every player has a Creeper story.
