Having seen other episodes i smiled when he said "lets hope we get soulbound to someone good".

Tango lowering the volume on Ren has got to be one of the greatest things this series will behold

[@SemiHypercube]

They just keep thinking of ways to make 3rd life even better each season

[@Alice1apple]

I don’t know. Imo the original was slightly better than 3rd life Edit: idk what i was thinking 2 years ago obviously 3rd life is the original

[@coreotter]

I miss the boogeyman chaos but this is also great!

[@Art3mis200]

I thought that was shere he was gonna die having watched G’s series, Scott’s series, Etho, Perl and impulses’ seasons (Just realised I accidentally obsessively watched 5 series and only have not watched one pair’s (ren&bigb)0ops :D)

[@MelonHere20]

That reminds me, i still haven't watched Pearl's or Impulse's perspective after all this time lol​@@Art3mis200

[@ImminDragon]

How has nobody pointed out that the theme this season is that your soulmate dies in *solidarity* with you.

[@emilyhuber73]

That is so big brain

[@KeitieKalopsia]

It feels like Jimmy and Tango bonded very well through a traumatic experience

[@buckyball2003]

The man who built the astral library in Hermitcraft claims he can’t build. I never thought I’d see the day. Also being paired with Jimmy and dying before him is a little embarrassing just saying :D In all seriousness I love your content and I can’t wait for the rest of this season

[@miniciominiciominicio]

lmaooo don't rub salt in the wound there poor Tango xD

[@keithgraham8588]

I feel like he was just being humble since Jimmy isn't a builder.

[@thegreatbeavers]

Jimmy is really good in pvp though. He may not be as aggressive as Joel but he atleast can fight if he has to.

[@WoodlandDrake]

I think he meant he is not good at early game building; it's different when you have the means to get almost any block in the game; but yeah, on concept alone the Astral Library is quite the build.

[@deusvult6920]

There's a reason he's been caught twice stealing designs without giving credit 🤔

[@germygerms3216]

jimmy being the first person he sees after running from spawn is like the best unintentional foreshadowing :')

[@johnnyshortfor]

As well as how many times he sees/nearly fights endermen this episode!

[@Winnen]

It makes my soul happy to see Etho interacting with other miners and crafters! And Tango, as always, is AMAZING!!

@@VonArmagedda @Pesky_Bird ya, his dad passed away and he has been stepping up big time to help his family and family business. Great guy, Etho!

[@gnorpgnarpgnerp]

the change in jimmy's voice after he's like "WHAT HAPPENED?" into "nah, it'll happen, i don't mind" was like when you get sent to the headteacher for something you didn't do

[@Exayevie]

When Jimmy sees your hermitcraft ice castle, he's gonna be awfully mad about you saying you're not a builder :P

[@normalchannel2185]

yeah

[@WritingsOfQuill]

you were right XD

[@justan324]

Ice castle. What about decked out 2

[@Dandygirl_94]

Tango: "I should probably go save Jimmy he's being cornered." Also Tango: "hey guys! How's it going!" *rifles theough Impulse and Bdubs stuff*

[@hnnh621]

Jimmy calling Tango 'his mans' is so funny 😂

[@lakegirl98gaming]

Tango's immediate panic from the powdered snow.... must be PTSD from the beginning episode of hermitcraft

[@shinyfirefly5034]

I love that this brings back the 'fear of the unknown' for even the really experienced minecrafters. Hearing Grian screaming and panicking, Tango describing it being like a voodoo doll...it really does add a great new layer to the game without making it less fun. Once everyone figures out who their soulmate is it's slightly less scary, but even then, you're faced with the dilemma of choosing between fighting/exploring together so you can keep an eye on each (but both of you being vulnerable to the same foes/pitfalls) or staying apart so one of you can stay safe (but then the one doing the fighting/exploring has no backup). It's definitely my favourite twist on 3rd Life, so far!

[@oserty]

21:30 when i first noticed martyn's messages while watching scar's or grian's pov, i misread allay as ally, and i had imagined some very confused sad looking player standing by the world border, so panicked about not being able to find their soulmate that they are completely dumbfounded and unresponsive and are only able to stand there and hold a sapling in their hand

[@JustAGooseOfficial]

I know this comment was two years ago, but it genuinely made me cackle oml

[@evelyncraft8607]

​@@JustAGooseOfficial Yes same

[@Outer7Elements]

I think Cleo and Scott had the right idea - caving with a soulmate is probably more dangerous than caving with someone else. If at least one person is out of danger, that probably means consistent eating/healing. Except, you know, when creepers happen.

[@azeh21]

25:09 Martyn is in the nether killing ghasts. Meanwhile Tango and Solidarity have a box and a bucket.. Loving the series so far!!

[@AmreeHolliday]

Is it me or does the pathing seem to be insane after the update. I'm sure everyone saw the pillagers follow the guys all the way to b dubs as well. It's like they are quicker and stay on a target.

[@Adoroth]

I thought that was weird too. I wonder if it is a side effect of them improving the Allay's ability to more accurately track and stay with the player?

[@the-lobotomised-one]

it might be, I was playing earlier and pillagers are definitely more scary now.

[@artemis_furrson]

No. They've always been fast mfs. If you've messed with a pillager outpost in the past you'd know what I mean.

[@CadanL]

They've always been pretty fast, but they could have outrun them but Etho kept stopping to keep them aggro

[@Nyah420]

@@CadanL It did seem odd to me that Etho seemed unable to outrun them. I see it was all for the chaos, then. lol

[@blueberrybrownyt]

Tango saying that he's not a builder is such self-slander... like excuse?? he's amazing (starter base, mega base, nether hub from season 9 alone is incredible) - he's great also I'm excited to see this partnership : D awesome episode

[@CitrusThings]

I'm going to edit Jimmy saying he did a good job over his season 5 base

[@1TW1-m5i]

Some of Hermits do work with others or commiscio designs before building them, rather than coming up with it all on their own

[@QuasarEE]

I guess it's different when you can plan things out in advance and build them at your own leisure. Here you get an hour to come up with something while everything is trying to murder you or steal your loot. 😆

[@Kajaks00n]

Tango: I'm not a builder Also Tango: Gigantic evil snow ice fortress megabase on hermitcraft

[@EccentricDozenaire]

I feel like everyone should have started with 4 lives, instead of 3. Since the deaths will be happening twice as quickly, due to the soul link, 3 lives might lead to a very short series.

[@familytablet6453]

This aged well

[@theAstarrr]

I think that was the point because Grian was busy afterward. But for my friends we're doing 6 lives.

[@firewilley]

[@Myanii_]

13:51 I love how the exact moment Tango imitated Grian screaming a goat jumped in sync

[@myndfields8539]

"at any moment, my partner could just die, and that would be it." In the business we call this: Foreshadowing. for real though...I'm so unbelievably excited for this. Grian mentioned it and I had NO idea it would be so soon!

[@normiesalvador1854]

My jaw dropped when Tango said he wasn't a builder. His Astral Library nether hub in HC is one of the most intricate and beautiful builds in recent memory.

[@eloquentornot]

Actually, that's a lovely little house, especially considering the limited time and resources you had building it, and I think the fact that you think it's ugly is probably proof that you are, in fact, A Builder. (Also your Hermitcraft builds. Those are also proof that you are an amazingly talented builder.)

Tango, you bite your tongue! "I'm not a builder" my big ol' backside! Look at your lovely house this season, not to mention Fifi from last season! Mind you, Jimmy's a bit of a liar himself. He's not as much of a builder as you are, but he's improving greatly, as you can see on his later episodes of Empires and his builds on Afterlife. You're both perfectly good builders. Hush.

[@wizard0078]

Tango saying he can't build is the best joke iv'e heard in a while. Just look what he did in the last hermitcraft season. unbeliavable!

[@DreadKyller]

Caving for iron will be a major pain. Most of the mountain surface iron will be taken as well. Your best bet is likely to strip-mine inside the mountains for iron honestly.

Hey Tango! Quick tip for this. Since you share regeneration, in a fight one of you can get lots of buffs and the other eats golden apples. Just an idea lol

[@john117stevereckershepard4]

Golden apples are not allowed this season and if you eat them you get a curse

[@kala_asi]

Golden apples are banned, i heard - but still a helpful tip

suspicious stews however i don't think is banned and one does regen, and also i don't think you have to be hungry to eat, which could be used like that as well

@21:30 Considering the way 'Life' seasons go, the idea of building INTO the mountain is genius. Imagine the hidden corridors, traps, and shenanigans in general. And it'd actually give people like Tango, Etho, Impulse and hopefully Mumbo or Doc a major edge.

I think part of the reason the 3rd Life/Double Life/X Life series are so interesting to me is because they feel like a more social/casual version of UHC form back in the day.
