Apple gave up on their Mac vs. PC ads awhile ago, which starred John Hodgman as stodgy old PC and Justin Long as cool hipster Mac. Windows fans worldwide rejoiced when the last ad bowed out, happy to see an end to what could charitably be described as “one-sided” advertising.

Flash forward to today (via Polygon), we see that Hodgman is redeeming himself (he didn’t exactly portray Windows in a terribly flattering fashion) by signing onto the cast of Minecraft: Story Mode. His involvement in Microsoft’s important new Minecraft title proves that true thespians can play any role.

The full Minecraft:Story Mode star-studded cast is as follows:
\n
Patton Oswalt (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, King of Queens)
\nCatherine Taber (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)
