Chatting about Minecon 2011 | Colony Survival

[@Laura-wx1nq]

I think I could genuinely listen to Lewis talk about anything for hours and hours while ravs and Duncan try to get many men. So glad you three decided to start doing these it always makes my day to see the stream up

[@BerlinChair]

Lewis is such a gem, this series is amazing!

[@arrayofemotions]

I like how this series is now just Lewis reminiscing.

[@DrBomb15]

I love how these streams have become trips down memory lane with lewis unhinging in ways never seen in twitch talking about youtube and their first experiences with fame. Love it!

[@Valariemars]

Thanks Lewis for trip back in time it was truly interesting to hear what all went down at the minecon it really made my day

[@Porzellanschnitte]

i kinda feel like these sessions are becoming group therapy for old Lewlew, good for him

[@auxy_gaming27]

I love learning the history of the beginning of the yogscast. I have seen just about every video ever posted since I was like 8/9 and I am 22 now.

[@ReeceLavellan]

Its really cool and interesting to hear Lewis' perspective and memories on past events. Especially on stuff they felt they couldn't really talk about back then. Also hilarious though as to some of the stuff he and Duncan have no memory of yet us as fans could probably recount accurately instantly lol. I would totally be up for a Yogscast History podcast with Lewis and a different member of the Yogs each week (starting with Simon) and going back in time talking about how they first met, first impressions, first meeting irl, conventions, awkward moments, and just generally some of the stuff from Yogs history that was never really explained or talked about for whatever reason!

[@pancake6325]

i was a kid when i started watching yall and i essentially grew up watching the yogscast , now im bout to finish college still watching yall lmao

[@myrnalorraine]

FYI, I would know who you are. My favourite Yogscast video is Minecraft Original Survival #10 - when Simon sets the Yogcave on fire and you scold him for blowing up. My 2nd favourite is #4 on Survival Island when a creeper almost blows you up and Simon offers you tea. I used that video to explain that men can also be nurturing, loving and kind to one another, as well as kind of being jerks. My 3rd favourite is #4 in the MOS: Pig Island. (I don't know why.) My 4th favourite is the Four Towers video where Simon dances and falls off the edge. My 5th is that Christmas map where the two of you mock the ESL mapmaker (which is cruel but it's so funny I cannot help myself.) My 6th favourite is harder to choose, but likely I'd choose the Planetoids videos, as a whole, even though you are both rather grumpy about playing it. My seventh favourite is every Yogpod which we listened to every night when we were living a tent for 10 months when we first moved to our farm. (We had to download them at the library and charged our cel in the car because we had no electricity.) I was introduced to Yogscast and Minecraft by my son who was laughing so hard I asked him what he was watching and we spent a very happy Sunday watching MOS from Surviving the First Night. We eventually converted his dad to Yog fandom,. Hubby and I still watch and listen, though our son (now grown) has moved on. I am surprised people you meet cannot answer your question, Lewis. :) We live in a town now, so I rewatch everything regularly (including Jinglecats every year), especially when I need cheering up or something pleasant in the background while I'm crafting. Many thanks for years of entertainment.

[@BalthorYT]

It always warms my heart to see parents bond over things so genuinely with their children that they eventually become bigger fans of it than their kids! Props to you Lorraine, hope you and your family are all doing well :)

[@andrewmiller3478]

Glad to hear a genuine response with a bit of history.

[@TNH91]

1:25 is the actual start (with a second or two of intro still rolling)

[@nzsmithsi]

Thanks mate😀

[@RichardCox0]

Thank you!

[@samj2814guy]

It’s so strange. On my Apple TV KZbin app it does a minute intro and then the voice audio is off by over a minute. On my phone there is no intro and the voice audio lines up with the action right at start.

[@Book_Golem]

​@@samj2814guy Same here, on a Samsung smart TV. Very annoying.

[@joshconfer209]

How can Lewis look so confident and cool in the thumbnails and become your dementia grandad almost instantly when the mic turns on 😂

[@austinwall144]

Thumbnail is like 5 years old

[@Spooky_Magooky]

I'm 20 and I already rabble on like a dementia riddled grandma. So I oddly find Lewis' ramblings honestly relatable

[@xx_Agent_Carolina]

...bc he's human. What are you, 12? 🤨

[@joshconfer209]

@@xx_Agent_Carolina It's what they call a relatable or endearing quality lol. I watch for that reason. You should lighten up my friend.

[@allycat871]

If you made a montage of the boys jumping on Berry bushes or work stations, it'd go for like 3 hours 😅

[@TheConnoroth]

Honestly hearing Lewis talk about this shit, I'm loving it haha.

[@CMF412]

I think if you do a trapdoor across your trench, your guys can have a shortcut to their fields that seals itself the moment a zombie tries to come through. You'll just need to reset it once a day.

[@hiolivermartin]

It was a real pleasure hearing about the early days and remembering parts of the last 10 years. Very nostalgic and cool. And yes, Lewis needs to write a book about all this with lots of pictures and fan’s thoughts. A real Yogscast history book of sorts.

[@hyperon_ion9423]

I don't know if it was just me or not, but I got full on anxious as Lewis described what Minecon was like.

[@ascendanthunter]

These nostalgic talks are great, keep it up!

[@Karlimoor]

1:14:14 Apparently I met Duncan and some other Yogs at Gamescom in 2014, at least I have a photo from that. I don't remember though, didn't watch you guys yet back then. But I'm sure it was a lovely meeting.

[@andrewcook4873]

Ravs walking past a bunch of tin and then digging into the bowels of the mountain looking for tin. There should be some sort of indication of what it looks like somewhere in the UI.

[@theodoreroosevelt1168]

Loving the John Steel esk KZbin Flashbacks from Lewis. Keep up the good content.

[@mashtatoueful]

1:26

[@SavorTheRobot]

The fact the yogscast where youtubers just cursing made it fun as a kid.

[@IcespherePlaysGames]

I always loved when Lewis would try to censor himself and Simon would notice and immediately say the full swear word.

[@Imwritingthisnotefrombeyondthe]

What

[@MPPDarkness]

I love listening to Lewis's story.. is like watching Minecraft series again

[@Annaie1234]

I love that lewis tells stories like I do. There's the main story and then 20 subplot stories and then back to the main story and then more subplots hahah

[@mstout_]

When I went to MCM London Comic Con I had no idea the Yogscast would be there: I was wearing my Yogscast hoodie by coincidence! Anyway it was Ravs and Hat Films doing a meet and greet there, so it was a great place to take a phone call because everywhere else in the whole con was extremely busy.

[@ColeCorvin]

I've had breakfast with Sips. Was at CoxCon and I was in the hotel restaurant sitting by myself and he asked if he could join me. Great company for breakfast, really nice dude.

[@harakiwi]

I am watching you guys today because I went to Gamescom on that day. Lots of "firsts" on that day. - first time in Köln. - my first TI without knowing that The International was. - first time seeing Simon and Lewis without knowing who you guys are. Only went there because a friends little brother started playing Minecraft, that friend told us to try it. I am almost exclusively watching non-German content on KZbin. Not even sure if I can list three German youtube creators without looking at the front page in Incognito mode.

[@alecolson8360]

Thank you for the therapy session and blocks

[@VegaClemons]

Oh man i loved those Lewis & Lydia streams, Sherlock and all those murder story games were amazing.

[@Scampcam]

the lewis power hour; when he finally gets let out of the cage to talk to other humans XD

[@zomble_z]

I'm loving the history lesson Lewis. Nice to hear you talk about the old school stuff.

[@themutantgerbil]

I love this series as a simple podcast of Lewis talking about stuff.

[@conkubar4029]

they've really struck gold with these streams

[@Thromash]

I've never met any of the Yogs, if I do I'd be happy to talk & get to know them. Outside of their channels & content I don't really know much about them. Although I am a fan, I never really look into someone outside of their channel & work. Though this would require either them being in Aus & somewhere I would be able to go to meet them OR me somehow having the spare money & time to go overseas. And me actually taking time off & my first holiday in decades lol

[@gruntslayer3524]

I wanna hear more about the early days and maker studio and everything, I wish Lewis had gotten more out

[@theleopard8755]

The one thing I never thought machines would endanger to take over would be art.

[@RubelliteFae]

RRR is the best movie of last year. I made so many people watch it 😆 Glad you boys are getting onboard. It's amazing

[@emilyc8958]

I would rather die than have to do the meet and greet etc that Lewis is describing... big respect for the yogs for continuing to interact with fans over all these years😅

[@bmxdude1337]

When i first saw MC i was like oooh the potential will be endless and look at where we are now with mods. I love modded MC.

[@Half_Finis]

being 13 year old watching u guys and playing minecraft its interesting to hear about ur perspective on this :D

[@StephenLydiate]

52:04 Did Ravs just describe us all as ripped futa characters...

to answer lewis’ question- I have met Ben in a mcdonald’s car park where I used to work

[@TheOnlyOrk]

enjoyable lewis rambles

[@RyuFelinshire]

Ahh yes, an hour and a half of Lewis rambling and not actually doing anything in game besides run around in circles.

[@smallangryowl2162]

Some kid saw a prime bottle in the bin behind the counter where I worked and asked me for it. I said no on hygiene grounds but it was a weird interaction that I'm glad I'm not alone in.

[@GretchenDawntreader]

I went to Las Vegas for an Everquest convention thrown by SonyEQ. I am fine if I never go back to Vegas ever again. It's grimy and the people walking down the street just lost all their money and look desperate and there are little asian kids handing out flyers advertizing "escorts." I enjoyed the player event and brought a defined amount of limited money I expected to lose gambling which I did. But the city and the strip and the whole place just covers you in a grime of sleaze. The best thing about Vegas was a side trip out to tour Hoover Dam. Want to see Vegas, watch a travel video and stay away from it. It is the spray cheese of tourist destinations.

[@GretchenDawntreader]

also gross is that an entire region's worth of water is sucked up by Vegas so every Casino can have massive fountains in the desert.

[@GretchenDawntreader]

the Las Vegas Hilton has (or had) Star Trek attractions including a small museum of props from the original "Desilu" TV show. TV wasn't recorded in hi def back then and it was a bit shocking to see that the phasers and communicators were just blocks of wood painted black with bits of metal tacked to them. Because you were never going to get a good look at them so it was good enough. Presumably they had nicer ones if there was ever going to be a closeup shot of someone's hand holding one but those were not on display at the LV Hilton :)

[@lukesaltsalter6111]

If they're genuinely paying way more tax than they think they should it might just be worth getting an accountant.

Where and how does rooster teeth all fit into this. I've been watching both brands for about the last 15 years. Your channel is listed in their app still.

[@AcEsSalvation]

I really hope that they end up checking the comments. To put it in perspective of how poorly this will go for them: I have a population of 525 in just my main colony. I have flags down that draw a fair amount of heat from my outposts. My main colony has a threat of 352, and I'm about to get firearms. Duncan has a threat of 305 with 256 colonists. You have to pick up the lockboxes. Only use them during the day when zombies aren't around. Each night, the game will see what your threat is and spawn zombies with X HP. The more threat, the more total HP is spawned. Also, just now using crossbows was terrible. I have plenty of additional crafters in my outposts (it seems to be that the threat:HP is non-linear - 100 threat = 100k hp, 300 threat = 700k HP [example numbers]) assisting with crafting each ingredient for ammo - copper mining, copper smelting, foresters, charcoal burners, fletchers. Crossbows will do far more damage copper ingot than with what you get from arrows. By staying with bows for so long, they have inflated how many people they need to make ammo to the point where adding more colonists actually made it harder. I don't want to backseat game, but these boxes are literally killing you. Pick them up, and invest heavy in crossbows right now. Get multiple outposts set up for each biome - you will need all of them throughout the game. EDIT: Also some trappers. Those are pretty good with how much damage you can do per colonist. You can have three sappers managing dozens of traps, then disable them at night as they only reload traps during the day. You can turn them into extra guards using the manage jobs menu. Just drag the slider down and reallocate in to the guards. Just remember that you won't be around to manage this if youre in a new outpost

Vegas is so boring. I got a free trip there because we helped a friend move cross country and stayed just one night.

We went to bed early and left early and I would never go back

Lewis biopic when?

[@veeshan222]

this is what happens when u build your maze to long, duncan and Ravs gets nommed during the day, there go to strat of maze is best is realy faling them hard here :D lol Have 2 entrances to your base with less mazing and spread out your guards you will use alot less ammo and clear mobs out better. When you cluster your guards together they like to over kill the same unit with like 7 arrows to many :P and having one entrance causes all the zombies to cluster up in a huge chunk which is hard to handle when they bundle like that whiuch also helps via spreading guards out to chip away at the zombies before they get to m,ain entrance/entrances

I admire how much Lewis is interested in the AI art topic, but not being well educated in the arts does skew his perspective a bit. It's still a long time till we get an AI that gives your exactly what you want, instead of just something close to what you want. It's a fantastic tool for getting ideas going! I've used AI generated art for inspiration before, but right now all AI art is doing is plagiarising artists. Real artists aren't going anywhere.
