Thanks for watching, gang! Hope you're enjoying these occasional extra videos! I'm working on another hermit quiz one for the next time ;B See you tomorrow for the recap

5:41 Something tells me that Pix watches Cubfan and/or Scar...

[@turbo_jcgll7137]

My dad did editing for awhile and he let me help sometimes. I just want to say how impressed I am with your editing. (Also Pixleriffs’s voice is absolutely phenomenal).

[@TheHermitcraftRecap]

I watch both Scar and Cub in the current lineup. ~Zloy

[@arcliner2254]

Zloy, you should do an entire recap in Russian for an April fools. Or just because Pixelriffs is out sick

[@luigraskullheart]

Yeah, would be much better than Zloy voicing it all in English.. 😂 Actually, his voice in russian is very pleasant to hear

Thanks so much for making this! It's awesome to see how much time and effort is put into the incredible HermitCraft recap's we all love so much!

[@gravitysilence]

The chemistry between you and Pixlriffs is amazing, and you can tell that you build off of each other a lot in the process of making the recaps, which give the videos so much more character and make them so much more interesting than if only one person was working on the recap. Hermitcraft fans couldn't ask for a better duo to recap the show we know and love.

[@ShayBowskill]

"I pride myself on the fact that this show is better than it deserves to be" damn right, man. You're making top quality content out of what is possibly the silliest premise imaginable. You both do a 10/10 job on this.

Hermitcraft used to be a huge part of my life when I was sick for almost two years and couldn't do pretty much anything else but watch KZbin videos. By now I don't have the time to watch all those Hermits I've grown to enjoy, but sometimes it feels like getting out of touch with old friends. Your Recap is an awesome way to keep up with their mishaps and still enjoy the fun that helped me through a difficult time. I'm really grateful for the work you guys do!

[@jasper3706]

I love that you leave people like grian and mumbo to the end. I'll admit that I personally watched both of them before I found any of the other hermits, so it's a pretty smart idea, not only to advertise the other hermits, but also for retention time. Smart thinking! (Oh and by the way, thanks for doing some more of these fun extra videos recently, especially the ones Zloy narrates. Don't let anybody forget who's the real brains of the operation ;3 )

[@galacticat7144]

I’ve always found it surpising that watching videos sped up is something not many people do - i do it with almost everything i watch, so i can watch more while still having time to work. Sometimes I wish there was an option to watch on 3x.

There are browser extention that add the x3 and x4 options. But x2 feels like the highest speed at which Hermircraft is comprehensible in my experience ~Sloy

I really enjoyed seeing your process for this... I’d never heard of Hermitcraft before hearing Pix mention that he’d been asked to do voice over work in one of the survival guide or DV episodes over Christmas break but thru Pix we found Zloy who we also absolutely adore and have enjoyed the hermit content as well as found some really neat ideas for games to make on our family server to play with the kids xoxo you guys are awesome

[@noelic6744]

Yea, recap helped me keep watching hermitcraft. I missed a few mumbo jumbo episodes and some other youtuber's ones too because I was away from my PC, I could go back and watch those but those took place during the civil war, and I basically already knew what they did and what happened later with their actions and creations because it was such a big event and everybody covered it. Recap helped me feel like I didn't miss anything in their videos by giving a general summary over everything, and now I can continue watching without a worry I missed anything.

[@brandonprestes3126]

Honestly your recap got me watching more hermitcraft! I started watching when I first found Grian and saw Hermitcraft for the first time. Then after discovering the recap I saw how fun other perspectives were so I watch some of the other hermits episodes too now. Your recap absolutely makes you want to watch more hermitcraft!

[@100Fleur100]

The recap has definitely helped me to keep interest in Hermitcraft by keeping me up to date with any video's that I might have missed. (even if there are very few of them xP). Anyways thank you guys for putting so much effort into the recap, I really appreciate it💚.

[@pavelhoral]

I am subscribed to and watching multiple hermits thanks to recap. And during the Civil War it was almost impossible to keep up without the recap. So thank you thousand times.

[@DJ_Bonebraker]

I definitely hear you with how long editing takes: It takes me about the same time to edit one of my 20-30min Minecraft videos that I make for my channel (and that's not including the render times for them). Frankly, I don't think most people who aren't content creators on KZbin (at least the ones who try to put out professional-grade content, whether they are technically KZbin pros or not) don't understand how much work is involved with it. That being said, I definitely appreciate the work you guys do for the recap, and it definitely did get me into watching JoeHills, StressMonster & Iskall, when I only really started watching Hermitcraft because of Mumbo & Grian (who I'd been following for quite some time before I even heard of Hermitcraft due to their redstone & building tutorials).
