[@theonejackal89]

I think Gaylord Steambath is the perfect example of a "Set in a Videogame" antagonist trope. Typically, mostly anime, has the videogame antagonist want to do something grand or big with their game, typically merging the game world with the real world, or subjugating all of reality, or doing some other plan to conquer/destroy the real world. Hell, even Minecraft: Story Mode did this with their admin. But Gaylord Steambath? He doesn't have any master plans for world domination. He's just trolling the shit out of everyone. He's a person that you've probably met before in a game once, who just goes around burning everything in his path because it's funny. You would NEVER meet someone like Kayaba Akihiko, but you've DEFINITELY met some people like Steambath on games like ARK or Minecraft, or any amount of MMORPGs. Just... people who are huge assholes for the fuck of it.

[@Garmin21111]

The whole noob adventures series feels like a DnD campaign. With the over arching goal being to defeat the tyrant. But with many side quest in-between. Minecraft's fantasy setting allows for this. It also makes sure you know that this whole story is set inside a video game and that the people in the story have lives outside the game, at one moment they meet this skilled adventurer who after doing the quest with them says he has to leave because he got grounded from his computer by his parents. It's honestly hilarious.

[@GH1TRV]

As a HUGE fan of this series from the beginning... I need to say that this guy is unbelievably cool. Shootout to Jeff Schwertfeger for legendary voiceacting of Gaylord! Firstly, this guy is so weird that you can't really make his complicated lore. Alongside with series there was 10 Gaming with Gaylord episodes with a bunch of a strange info. And also all episodes are based on a real TNA server where he shows up regularly to play with players in events. So character lore is completely messy and hard to piece it together - THAT chaotic he is. Its hard to say "Are we talking about the player? Or the character? Or the real person behing the player?" Secondly, in my opinion TNA story shows us a consequences of a "whale" players being OPed and "that youtubers making fun of people for the content". We can literally see everything from normal player eyes. Because basically everything that happened in a series was like less than 1 day in real time. Normal people just want to play a game. And Gaylord wants to break peoples experience, he literally is "fuck we ball" guy. In third, he left a really cool legacy. In my opinion he is the REAL villain of the games. He can enter whatever game he likes and just completely destroy people's gaming experience (and thats what he literally did in GwG series). For years of playing games i saw a lot of people who followed HIS path, the path of a true griefer. So, TNA is not just a random animated series. Besides everything it also teaches you to understand that people like Gaylord exist and all you can really do is to fight against them and wait until server Owner returns. Sometimes you are forced to play a game even if things like this happens. This is an opportunity for you, the player, to show yourself being a good guy (like noobs) or a bad guy (like Milky_Dad). TNA will forever remain as a classic ❤

[@joyland730]

I don't think milky dad is a bad guy, he didn't have many options

[@GH1TRV]

@@joyland730 there is always an option if you are a good guy. He chose his own path.

[@wilymoto6501]

​​@@GH1TRV It's not as simple as "good or bad", there are shades of grey. Milky_Dad didn't hate the Noobs (he initially took them into his home and showed his contempt for Gaylord). The reason he betrayed them is because he saw an opportunity to play freely without Gaylord bothering him. It was either accept his deal and live in peace or risk being banned from the server or being being eternally harassed by Gaylord. It's similar to what happens in the book "The Foundation" (by Antonio Buero Vallejo), where the prisoners betray their companions by snitching because otherwise they would die under torture. But in a blocky game XDS And something similar happened with the hacker. They weren't pure evil, but they only thought about themselves instead of caring about others. Holy crap, I'm analyzing the psychology of a KZbin animated series about three noobs fighting a weird troll who thinks he's a king in Minecraft, this sounds surreal XD

[@goldwing8569]

Dang, this video was a wonderful trip down memory lane. I remember loving watching Noob adventures and Mob Squad if anybody else remembers that series. Great video!

[@zanteko]

The Escardi version of the character it's funny, the original version it's just chaos, when i learn english and see the original show i just understand the hard work Escardi did to make the jokes the voices and change the characters to make them different but same as the original It's just sad to many people don't see this show and the people who see it just forget it

[@wilymoto6501]

In its original version, Gaylord is a weird troll with an advanced vocabulary who enjoys the suffering of others. In Escardi's dubbing, he's literally a queen who spends his time talking about dirty things and who gets orgasms from the suffering of others. Both have their notable differences, but they're both hilarious XDD And as you say, it's a shame that today the series is so forgotten and undervalued. But at least we have it back. I still remember the enormous sadness I felt when I discovered that almost the entire series was axed about 7 years ago. Only the last 6 episodes and the first four were watchable. Everything in between I forgot to the point where I only had several memories of Fart having a pig, that They found a horse, and Herobrine appeared. But little else. I didn't even remember that they went to the end or that they fought the Wither. Thank goodness the complete series is now available. When I watched it again I enjoyed it like a child. ❤️

[@arturliviu]

Eyy the man himself is here

[@superkonijn988]

Most antagonist in minecraft fanseries take themselves too seriously where it looks stupid when you don't suspend your disbelief because minecraft is a silly blockgame with barely any stakes. However due Gaylord's nature as an internet troll, it makes his behavior very believable and funnier when you take a step back from your suspension of disbelief because it really is just Gaylord seeing an opportunity to mess and screw around in the server for the sake of it. The entire story feels like a dramatic retelling of the infamous event (which people tend to do with infamous trolls in communities) and i think this is the perfect premise for an antagonist. You either get immersed with the roleplaying or you just want to see what shenanigans happens next.

Great show. Rewatched it a few years ago. I remember back in the day I was the only kid I knew who watched it because everyone else at school said they didn't like Steambath.

[@bluejayofevil]

TNA (The Noob Adventures) is one of the greatest Minecraft fan series ever made, although these days it's largely forgotten due to it being in the earlier days of the game. I still remember it (and rewatch it) from time to time. I've only seen a few others mention it at all recently, and in glowing praise when they do. Regarding the comment about Gaylord Steambath not using creative mode (at 4:27), it didn't exist back then. The */give* command required item/block numerical IDs (as seen when he starts summoning random crap at 6:50 for dramatic effect.) Slightly unrelated, but I remember seeing a behind-the-scenes video from the animator detailing potential plotlines they thought would happen given the direction the game was going in (e.g. the dragon egg being hatched later after they acquired it), but were scrapped due to the game _not_ going in that direction like they though it would. There were more, but that one stuck out to me. I'll have to find it and watch it again sometime.

I remember absolutely LOVING this series back in the day. I always thought of it as an animated version of the “The Elementia Chronicles” Minecraft novels, the first book featuring a pretty similar story of a Minecraft noob starting the game, finding some noob friends, finding a town, and discovering the evil “big bad” player who’s taken over everything, resulting in a 1v1 to the death with the Noob player and the Evil player at the end. Seeing this animated series after READING the first book just brought everything I’d imagined to life, and frankly I’m a little upset that I forgot about its existence.

God it's been so long since I've seen any mention of this series and it's very nostalgic.

Sometimes a story that has a villain with no morals and has humorous dialogue is what makes me love villains with no moral motivation.

[@PhonographClock]

Never expected to see a video on this series! An absolute staple of my childhood, for sure, as many others have expressed. I remember first seeing it on the front page of Newgrounds eons ago and would slowly follow it as each new episode came out. It was mind-boggling at the time because no one had really done "minecraft parody" (If I could be so reductive as to call it that) animations to this caliber, with a clear beginning-middle-end and overarching storyline. When most people would animate minecraft at the time, it was usually just gags related to how punching wood was unrealistic or how funny it was that creepers blow up and kill you when you're not looking. Of course it still had those, but TNA was probably the first of its kind to actually be a serialized animation about Minecraft!!! Which was revolutionary in a timeframe when video game parody animation did kind of just boil down to a succession of gags about a game series, especially something that was so outrageously out-of-nowhere popular at the time like Minecraft was when it was only 2-3 years out the womb. Also, I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but yes, the series has always been up on Newgrounds and has remained there since 2011(!!!) when it was originally uploaded, so that was always an alternative as a place to watch it when it was previously taken down from Machinima. Glad to see it reuploaded to KZbin though, of course! Really nice video! I appreciate you seemingly speaking unscripted and from the heart, aside from a few notes and talking points I presume. Especially in relation to what could be considered an obscure series like this, it shows a lot of sincerity towards your love for it! Big ups!!

[@hofficoffee9564]

This series is soooo underrated. It feels illegal that this first video I’ve seen covering it. I remember this series being a sort of unification of the Minecraft community. It even having a big named KZbinr like Antvenom voicing himself with his horse named “Boner”. 😂 Even getting some voice acting done for the Villagers from Element Animation This series sorta makes me reflect on how “magical” things used to be back in the Machinima days. 😢
