Has anyone ever wanted to see 3 hour sessions of combat-focused Minecraft at a time? YouTube Superstar Woody's GamerTag has you covered There's a lot to say about Woody, none of it very good. In more recent months he's been focusing on diversifying his gaming portfolio to include YouTube's favorite thing: Minecraft, an lots of it. Don't watch that video I linked by the way, it is not interesting at all. Woody started his own Minecraft server and it is basically a session focused PVP thing where he and a bunch of other idiots hit each other with swords that seem to do no damage for five minutes until they are all dead and then they start over again. They then repeat that for three hours.

Speaking of Minecraft, I figured this was the best place to ask, but how the hell did the Yogcast ever get popular? I tried to watch some of their stuff because everyone can't stop singing their praises but it felt unbearably unfunny, obnoxious, or flat out boring. What exactly am I missing here?

They did something different with Minecraft that wasn't simply "build a thing, go caving, die to a creeper" and incorporated a storyline, characters and some pretty impressive builds into their videos. Today they just do the occasional adventure map or mod and sort of dropped the storyline thing they were doing, which appeared to be completely running out of steam and their desire to continue on with it just wasn't there.

They originally made casual gameplay videos, and were kinda funny, in a subdued, dry way. Then the catch-phrases started to pile up, they began over-playing their characters, and instead of just playing the game with some narrative elements thrown in, they started inventing contrived, tedious plotlines that lacked any wit and dragged on forever.

If you can't get enough of Minecraft videos, they do constantly put out new content that's at least relatively well edited. But if you're as burnt out on Minecraft in general as I am, there's not much there other than a couple of quirky YouTube personalities. That moment when their original Minecraft series suddenly turned into a bizarre RPG adventure was legitimately great though, just because neither of them seemed to have any idea of what was going on.

I'm not a fan of Yogscast but I can respect what they've done with the game and furthermore I can respect that they admitted when they were sick of it. They had a whole team of people write and create very elaborate stories and maps that they would be relatively blind to, and they would adventure through it so there was a nice mix of unscripted and scripted stuff and they do appeal to a much younger audience. I don't find them all that funny but I do feel they're on par with the likes of Game Grumps in terms of how I see their videos, which is just background noise and bite-sized bites of hit or miss entertainment while I'm eating or whatever. I don't watch either often but they have their merits despite not necessarily meeting the standard of quality that forum goers might expect. I find it hard to really criticize them. They've made a pretty successful job of being entertaining personalities for kids. I know my nephews love them and I'd sooner want them watching Yogscast over Pewdiepie or someone like that.

Basically they did some interesting videos a long time ago, where someone got a hold of their server password and built a bunch of crap, made it into a storyline, and then soared in popularity. Then the catchphrases started and nowadays they're what you've seen. They play an adventure map, Lewis attempts and fails to be funny, and Simon spits out some catchphrases and screeches like a banshee with it's balls caught in a vice. Still though, I can't hate them for that, I believe they earn at least a six digit salary from what they do, and if you offered me that kinda money to yammer into a mike for 20 mins I'd happily do that. Also, I believe at least one of them is a goon, if not both of them.

Fun fact - YouTube is now forcing you to make a Google+ account to reply to comments on your favorite YouTube LPs. And unless they fix it, you also can't reply to any old comments made by someone who was posting using the old comment system - so 99% of previous comments are now effectively archived.

Have they made changes to the way playlists work too? It might just be me, but as of last night, they don't seem to be auto-playing. Between each video it now asks "play" or "play all", clicking either only plays the next video in the list before asking again.

In the past you could at least find few funny comments in the top rated section. Unless you have a Google + acco... HAHAHAHA

I generally like their 'let's achieve this big goal in minecraft' series, they tend to have a lot of dumb filler but they do have a fairly good group dynamic going, and as stupid youtube entertainment goes you can do a lot worse. Probably most of the entertainment comes from the silly things that end up happening when you stick them all in a game together, and some of it is pretty funny, though a lot of it is hit or miss. For a very popular youtube group they are pretty good I'd say, it could always be pewdiepie after all.

True, but it's also actually quite valid praise given what we have to pick from on youtube. "Not part of the illimitable tide of poo poo" is, while not difficult, at least a comparatively rare comment you can make.

I watched one of his videos once and I didn't even get to any explicitly offensive parts, he was just so incredibly unfunny I couldn't stand to listen to him

It's because you're not in the 12-18ish demographic that makes up the majority of his subs and has the kind of time to spend doing nothing but watching the 20 videos he puts out every day

One lunchtime, a woman I used to work with (I think she was about 25-26ish) was talking to people about PDP. She brought out her phone and tried showing people one of his 'funniest' vids, while everyone around her had this weird look of confusion and disgust. Someone wound up coming over to her and asking her to turn the screeching noise down.

Yeah there's a buncha people in the early-to-mid-twenties demographic that loving love PDP, just...not any that me or my friends know personally, so we're all completely mystified about the appeal of unfunny voices and the atonal shrieking of a diseased gibbon. We have no one who can explain it to us. We can only wonder.

This one is a little weird, It's runescape, (the bad outdated MMO) but it's a challenge series that avoids all the typical MMO stuff and I feel someone with no experience of the game could enjoy watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEiVaIZfQ0w&list=SP03BA3AD3CF3EF913 Essentially they're already near max level characters in the game, but they start with 0 items whatsoever and can't do any kind of player trading, so they have to go get raw resources and craft useful items and then use these crafted items to take on one of the hardest bosses in the game. They cut out all the grindy bits and I personally enjoy their commentary. If you have played the game in the past 5 or 6 years you'll appreciate the challenge even more, because the game really is "kill this 1 thing for money then buy everything else" which means a lot of players have never even crafted an item or used a none combat skill for personal use before in their account's history because it's "inefficient", so it's refreshing to see it done.

That's bizarre. I remember when I played Runescape about eight years ago crafting of one sort or another was just about all that anyone ever did other than PvP. This is reasonably entertaining, though that may just be nostalgia speaking. Thanks for the recommendation.
