Purveyors of all the awesome stuff you never knew you needed, Archie McPhee is basically what you find when you finally beat the end boss of the Internet.

They’ve been providing delighted customers with inflatable bee beards and cat-sized unicorn horns for decades. Upon visiting their site or Seattle store even the most jaded anti-consumerist will find themselves longingly looking at their fine selection of fake moustaches or the pickle flavoured candy canes. This year Archie McPhee is going to be directly responsible for a lot of VandalEye-ing at the Moonbase. They’ve sent us so many googly eyes.

Marcus Persson, also known as Notch, also known as man who made Minecraft, also known as prolific game developer since just about when he could walk and talk (give or take a few years). After a stint at Jalbum, Marcus now works for Mojang AB, which he founded. Here’s a final also known as: Markus Alexei – infrequent electronica musician.

Notch will be calling in at Sunday, November 18, 2012 5:00am PST.
