The story of Yorkshire Farmer | Yogscast Lewis and Ben Save the World Highlight

The full story of the man, the myth, the lobber, Yorkshire Farmer.
Video clips taken from the Lewis and Ben save the world Final Modpack series. This video has all of Yorkshire Farmer's best moments from the beginning to the end.

[@thespiffingbrit]

What about the legendary story of The Spiffing Brit who valiantly ran away on a mission when everyone else was killed by invisible ninjas. (Was from the xcom files long before I joined the network and I think I ended up getting exploded by my own High EX)

[@Kalakakku_]

That's where they find the totally balanced magic sword and where Legionnaire Chinhuahua dies. Definitely coming

[@thespiffingbrit]

@@Kalakakku_ I love how you know all of the lore :D

[@Kalakakku_]

@@thespiffingbrit I have been a vod goblin for years. Also, tell Lewis to play XCOM with Ben!

[@thespiffingbrit]

@@Kalakakku_ I have tried. I think the poor lad just got burnt out

[@Kalakakku_]

@@thespiffingbrit ok then you just have to find an exploit in Lewis and use that

[@kyrridas1573]

i love how Yorkshire Farmer is the _only_ soldier that doesnt panic in the final mission. i was so ready for him to solo that whole thing.

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

For those who don't know, throwing accuracy is no where near perfect in this game. The fact he lands it on the exact square every time is ridiculous.

[@yorkshirefarmer7346]

My legacy lives on! O7

[@Kalakakku_]

are you Reckeeto?

[@Balsiefen]

Haven't seen much appeal in OG Xcom before, but having a system where a guy can flub a grenade and drop it at his feet but then another can run in,. pick it up and hurl it at aliens before it detonates is pretty damn awesome. Also Yorkshire farmer has protagonist syndrome.

[@WelcomeBub]

Personally I much prefer the freedom og xcom gives compared to the board game nature of the modern games. The mods are great because of it.

[@housewilma4904]

@@WelcomeBub and the accuracy is less infuriating "99 percent chance to hit" MISS.

[@KyriosHeptagrammaton]

@@housewilma4904 The simulated ballistic are what make it feel way more fair. Even if you miss by 3 cm your shot will still hit their arm instead of torso

[@kamikazesopp]

@@KyriosHeptagrammaton It is oddly satisfying when you fire a shot, miss horribly, but then hear something died somewhere anyway.

[@willmiles7978]

Look up Heat Signature. It's not turn-based but it's top-down action and you can pause as much as you want at any time, allowing some insane setups. Get cornered with approaching guards, throw your wrench at a window to space, pause, aim your swap-places teleporter through a wall at the fleeing target passing near you because you deliberately raised the alarm, swap him into where all the guards just opened fire on you, he takes all the bullets then the wrench breaks the window and everyone in the room gets sucked into space.

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

The look in Ben's eyes during the zoom in after Yorkshire Farmers death 😢

[@J29117]

RIP Yorkshire Farmer. The finest human artillery piece in all the galaxy.

[@andrewrobinson4019]

A True Hero. The Legend of our Time. I was honored to serve with Yorkshire Farmer for one mission late in his career (I died instantly). o7

[@LackOfHarmony]

Lovely! Need a compilation of the Zargozian lore next.

[@deadlydestroya]

Agreed

[@ArcticAndyV2]

Zargozians lead the way

[@irregularassassin6380]

It was such a shame how many of that noble line died like complete chumps.

[@Zargosian]

👀

[@irregularassassin6380]

@@Zargosian Hey man, I want to say I really loved your extended Zargosian lore. It was always a highlight for me every time I watched. Lots of fun, well-crafted, and seemingly bottomless. I was left wanting to know more about those noble guardians from beyond the stars.

[@BanderDave]

This was the good days, volunteering to go on missions to try and reach the top sniper spot. Only to have to argue our case to try and stay when it's found out our brains are a little noodly. or at least I think that's what happened to me, it's had to remember some of it

[@MrSam2450]

As one of the chumps who became something and then went up in a glorious fireball. Im so happy this was recommended. Brings backs lots of trauma and joy

[@angusrobertson6398]

What about a comp of disastrous missions, terror from the deep had some great massacres

[@dudekazoo]

Terror from the deep was almost nothing BUT massacres!

[@deetrixreed8961]

I wonder if Ben and Lewis would have fun reacting to this. I find this extremely epic and well made. I can picture a whole B-type movie in my head, like you do when reading a book, giving more life and detail to the narrative carried out through their playing.

You don't wanna be on the recieving end of Yorkshire Farmer's throw. Even a medkit can still kill at point blank range

[@joelmills4304]

I love the mini saga of bottlegnomes in here too

[@Defnotdiablo]

The real treat about this video for me is that I'm from Yorkshire, and my grandpa was a farmer, so I feel a deep resonation with this character and support him fully with every fibre of my being.

[@TheFrozenFlame05]

It's amazing how Ben looks exactly the same now as he did back then.

[@AshGorall]

If there’s one thing I’ve loved the most about the xcom files; managing to keep someone alive all the way. You keep someone alive long enough and they become literal mission soloers. It’s insane

[@Zer0sLegion]

Lewis and Ben Save the World remains some of my favourite streams and KZbin series on the platform. It's a shame they've stopped now but reliving some of the best moments through this video was great, hope you do more!

[@baseballjustin5]

I mean, I think they finished the 2 year campaign lol

[@ramboturkey1926]

always cool seeing a channel that im subscribed to comment on a video i watched

[@Zappygunshot]

This is but one of the many amazing stories that arose from the Lewis & Ben Save the World streams. They were a real joy to watch and listen to through the years.

[@Epicchannelify]

God Ben was genuinely sad about Yorkshire farmer you could hear it in his voice... That was his boy

[@GremiasV]

I would be so amped if they actually still had that save and did an alternate playthrough of the final battles as a small thing. Would be awesome to see all the old lads again.

[@HighlandPhoenix]

Needed a ‘TO BE CONTINUED’ at the end…

[@alanjdunne]

Please tell me you will be doing videos for some of the other X-Com legends as well. We need more of these types of videos.

[@Kalakakku_]

Who would be good video material? I dont think anyone has as many clips as Yorkshire Farmer.

[@alanjdunne]

@@Kalakakku_ Probably not as many clips as Yorkshire farmer but you could do, Zargozian, Bottlegnome and his rise to take over as commander, maybe even something on Wasjig and his mum getting him a commission. If the clips are short put them all in one video together

[@LtCombatJack]

@@Kalakakku_ Could be a compilation of clips in general - I remember one with Jarkor the burninator saving a doomed xcom warhammer mission - at least i think it was jarkor hahaha

[@voodoominerman]

@@alanjdunne Let's not forget the mighty Legionaire Chihuahua.

[@ricksanchez5584]

@@Kalakakku_ A glorious legionary chinhuahua could be fun!

[@AkaEbone]

That's it, its been long enough... Time to rewatch the Final Modpack. Thank you Kalakakku, for this wonderful video. Honestly love the OG XCOM series, its some of my favorite yogs content. Really wish they were still playing, so I could toss myself into the meat grinder. maybe one day... 😢

[@jsolen522]

Ahh this was a blast from the past. I remember tuning in every week to watch. Yorkshire Farmer the absolute legend.

[@Alba_Longa]

I forgot how much I love Lewis and Ben(save the world). How they give their soldiers weird ass title and stupid tactics that borderline cheating.

[@baseballjustin5]

*not going to survive* And then it somehow working

[@EPIC2X_]

o7 Yorkshire Farmer, you were a great soldier.

[@dskdev]

Nice, good to see this because i dont have 90 hours for all of xcom files to see our favorite yorkshire farmer

[@nickgaurd]

This was a fantastic look back... I need to rewatch the whole thing again!

[@finleyjennings6051]

need this stream back tbh

[@tidyyy]

it might have been a fever dream, but I'm sure Yorkshire farmer showed what really happened that day on his KZbin

[@carljeffery5289]

Ben's face at the end looks genuinely upset 😢

[@OlieB]

absolute legend - time to dive back into the archives and relive the victories and slaughters

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

Damn 5 months ago you put up a comp and so many have followed. I hope it's brought you everything you hoped for :D Cause these have been great

[@alexda1andonlymonkey]

thank you for making this. this series was such a joy, good to be reminded of it and to see some of the highlights. brought warmth to my soul

[@rickl9462]

Good video, fellow human! How about a video of Bottlegnomes, HERO of Earth?

god i miss this series of streams so damn much. Truly a magical time. Thanks for this compilation

[@Brozef]

this is amazing thank you! I know this is a shit ton of work, but it would be fantastic if you did compilations of soldiers like Wazjig and Matrixpanda from the very first Ben n Lewis Xcom playthrough too.

[@mikewazowski5803]

These streams got me through uni. Thank you for the nostolgia!

It would be nice if one day they actually do that alternate universe and see if Yorkshire Farmer can do it, can lead them to victory.
