While many were geeking out about the Game of Thrones season premiere Sunday night, The Simpsons was getting equally nerdy with its ever-changing show intro.
This week's episode's intro honored Minecraft, as the Simpson family entered a blocky, pixelated version of Springfield and their home that perfectly matched the tone of the voxel-based game sensation.
While Minecraft is definitely topical enough for inclusion on The Simpsons; recent introductions span from one directed by Banksy, to a Harlem Shake version, to a Game of Thrones parody.
Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson said he was touched by the inclusion.
I STILL feel a bit like it's just this small game I made at home. It's so weird to have all these things happen. April 7, 2014
The Simpsons intro sequence featured new elements starting with the second season in 1990, including Bart writing a different line on a chalkboard as punishment and the family meeting on the iconic rundown couch in a different way for each episode.
