Scott Johnson, of [Frog Pants Studios](https://frogpants.com/?ref=chrisenns.com), is a dad who lets his 12 year old son teach him about [Minecraft](https://minecraft.net/?ref=chrisenns.com).

Minecraft is hard to explain because it looks and sounds tremendously boring. But at it's core it's like having the biggest Lego set in the world that you can build just about anything with. Out of square blocks only. And there's zombies at night.

I asked folks on Twitter to tell me what Minecraft is:

I'm watching videos like this so I can attempt to stay somewhat ahead of my son. For now.

[Part 2 of Scott's series is up if you want to continue watching people build stuff](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDGCCuoeRXY&ref=chrisenns.com).

I showed Damien, my 5 year old son, [Minecraft](https://minecraft.net/?ref=chrisenns.com) for all of 10 minutes and his eyes lit up and his brain started running with questions.
