You do not know how excited I was to see pixlriff enter the portal just to say THIS WEEK ON HERMITCRAFT... ME!

[@elliotgandersen]

Same!

[@Sammit00]

That was the best dang moment.

[@kebbikebbizzz]

samee. I laughed so much, one of my favorite hermitcraft moment ever

[@ITFNBiteBayKon]

I replayed that so many times this week. Complete golden moment!

[@clanker7890]

It's a win moment

[@rjlsobhjphjgrbw_yay]

The moment Pix said “This week on Hermitcraft: *ME* !” makes me filled with joy on another level you do not understand.

[@alexandragames2020]

Oh, we all understand. It was great! Like mirrors reflecting themselves.

[@saym0.0]

"kill 'im!" "fire 'im!" "when did we hire him??" had me dead 💀

“We didn’t hire him he literally invaded our server!!”

[@AJ_the_Dragon]

Ok, please, just for the duration of the crossover, please keep doing the live readings. Seeing everyone react was amazing.

[@Vaelzan]

Pix mentioned (on Joe's stream) that he may continue to do them live, but potentially at the Christmas village next time (and with whoever is around when he's recording it, so not necessarily the same audience).

[@elevation9123]

Yes! Absolutely!!!

[@thomassevy4930]

Agreed

[@SonicChicken249]

IKR!

[@thebiggaffeur993]

The sad thing is, Pixlriffs can't even be the victim of long pranks by hermits, because they generally happen over the span of several episodes, and so he'd have to spoil himself by watching the episodes before falling into the potential traps ...

[@dreamliz7497]

Unless the prank isnt included in the hermits videos :).

[@clippyb]

@@dreamliz7497 Or it's hinted to, "Secret project x" but not shown on camera like you said

Or sloy watches and summarizes those episodes instead of pix

[@rosesaysmeow8358]

they'd have to conceal the trap from their episode just say the'r making a trap for someone

[@williamjones5334]

They have said that to do the recap, they binge-watch all the episodes over one day, so that would mitigate things a bit

[@EthyrielY]

I’m looking forwards to all of the Pixlriffs meta-jokes to come.

[@dr.dman348]

I didnt think I'd see *you* around these parts. A surprise, for sure, but a welcome one.

[@tumblingartist]

For sure!! :D

[@Katharina-rp7iq]

Yeah, well, Grian certainly won't disappoint you. First thing he did when Pix came through was play the recap soundtrack.

[@SkSkNutella]

my dying wish was for pix to say that iconic line, “this week on Hermitcraft, ME!” i can now die peacefully

[@adeshpoz]

Come now. Don't die on us so soon. You have more recaps to watch! :D

[@BlueToadFan913]

If you die I won’t give you any hot chocolate

[@CobraDBlade]

I actually really like the "filmed live" bit. Maybe it should be a thing for as long as the crossover is going.

[@wolframstahl1263]

I could hear Zloy screaming as I read this. Can't say I disagree, though. I'd love to see some bloopers, outtakes and shenanigans in other people's episodes. Not only the Recap covering Hermits, but also Hermits covering the Recap just sounds fun and wholesome!

[@erinkarp]

This script was particularly good imo, and the fact that it was with a live audience was very cool

[@Lyarrah]

Every time I think y'all have found the way to make this job the hardest on me you can, you prove me wrong xD I have no idea where PIX: ends and >> begins anymore!

[@AP-xr2yi]

Having the captions on, I think I noticed an error, the caption suggests that Jimmy was the one to say Pix renounced the Riff in his name, But from what I heard during that clip from a lot of perspectives, it sounds like Fwhip is the one to say that Pix renounced the Riff. If you already know then okay, if not then just letting you know that it sounds like Fwhip's voice being heard saying it.

[@Lyarrah]

@@AP-xr2yi I'm so not used to the Empires crew voices so sometimes I'm stuck going off of whose name has a voice icon by it XD so I very well could have messed that one up, I'll give their POV a watch to check! Wouldn't be the first time I've had to check a different POV lol. There's actually another line I should check too, so thank you.

[@sarahlandis289]

Hi! You do a great job editing these! I look forward to the recaps every week!

[@AP-xr2yi]

@@Lyarrah Your welcome and all good, even I struggled to determine who was saying what, at that clip. It does sort of help to have heard someone speaking by themselves, in this case having watched Fwhip's and Jimmy's videos, amongst that chaos I could tell that it wasn't Jimmy speaking or at least saying that line but rather Fwhip. I believe there was another line said by Fwhip that was labelled as being said by Jimmy just before it to, if that's the other you mentioned you should check too. While not relevant, it may not hurt to learn the empires crew voices, so you can be more accurate. Other than that, keep up the good work Lyarrah.

[@RandomPerson-ii4zj]

This recap might just be my favourite because of the intro. Edit: the mettatons theme played on noteblocks in background as he talks about grumbot is also a great touch.

[@lucaswatts2141]

I lost it when grain mentioned mettaton as inspiration and equally lost it when I noticed the video in this recap

Loved the live reading gimmick of this one ❤ Really funny to listen to on Joe's stream as well > Kudos to Pix for apparently managing to just smash a whole recording out of the park in almost a single take even while getting murdered and another shoutout to Zloy for managing to edit this mess together coherently without losing the humor. (And shoutout to Lyarrah for the captions ofc)

Pix’s “This week on Hermitcraft, ME.” beats Grian and Impulse’s “This week on Empires” (imo)

[@bobthebox2993]

Hands down! I feel like Grian and Impulse missed some opportunities. I wished it'd have went like: Grian: "This week on empires" *waits for Pix's reaction* Pix: "Oh god, it's happening" Grian: "Welcome to the empires recap! My name is Grian, my victim is Pixlriffs, music for this bit was provided by Impulse" While the one from Pixlriffs entering hermitcraft was much simpler, he hands down nailed the delivery

[@SrslyCitrus]

@@bobthebox2993 To be fair, Pix IS the one with that recap experience.

[@blockgamepirate3481]

I'm watching this like "wait a minute, this all sounds so familiar, is this bit from last week's script?" And then realising that I've already heard this script live on Joe's stream lol

[@yoko3182]

I love that it's Cleo and Sausage reacting to the live recording. Two of my favorite people involved in this crossover.

[@riaingalligan8461]

There’s more than those two there

[@SemiHypercube]

"This week, on Hermitcraft: me" is one of the many great things to come from this crossover

[@Outlaew]

If this was filmed live on Hermitcraft... does that mean that the Hermitcraft Recap is now a Hermitcraft episode... will you be covering the jokes on here in next weeks show?

[@Spygirl812]

Insepation

[@blockgamepirate3481]

Well he did say that they wouldn't cover non-Hermits... but the thing is, I think Joe at least recorded the show and might put it in his episode, which then would mean they WOULD have to recap their own recap

[@thereinforcementshavearriv8288]

[@mr.luciddream6634]

"This week, on HermitCraft: "This week, on Hermitcraft: "This week, on HermitCraft: Me!"""

The meta humour was ON POINT this episode.

[@likethecolour]

The extremely murderous audience is the best thing I've seen all week (besides the hermits and empires on HC)

[@KoolKyurem25]

I think my favorite part of this recap was the background giggling, notably from Sausage, as well as Pixlriffs trying and almost succeeding at keeping a straight face while plastering the grumbot jokes on

[@OMsRandomWriter]

Seeing the heads of Pix slowly taking over the stage is amusing. They killed him five times during that live recap. Where's the skeleton skull that was the mic?

Of course, the Empire Grumbot was completely devoid of Mumbo, and that caused it to become evil. It all makes sense now, except for all the parts that don't make sense.
