schneefinkI got poked for the fourth time on Friday, so as expected I spent the entire day yesterday useless for anything. But I took two naps just to make sure I wouldn't fall asleep during MCC, and fortunately it worked.
Originally I wasn't sure which team to watch, but in the evening it became very clear that I wasn't up to following anything too chaotic and so I watched Phil on the Violet Vampires with fruitberries, Oli Orionsound, and Shubble. I had a great time. They had a lot of fun the entire time, they never excelled or even won one game but they always did good and had some nice comebacks, and they ended up in first place and then won!
I like the new Parkour Warrior, and the Grid Runner rooms. I was glad Phil had a better time during Meltdown this time, and I cheered when RSR chosen as the last game even though I was a little sad to have no SoT for the, what, third time in a row? (No BM either, but while I don't hate the game I don't miss it either.) The whole event was very close, Aqua was iirc seventh after the second-to-last game and made DB.
Today I watched Wilbur's VoD, he was on the Green Goblins with Grian, CPK, and Joel Smallishbeans. Only fifteen minutes in Wilbur was devastated about not winning an ebay auction for a tamagotchi and, after finding out he's the youngest on the team, asked if that means he can be the TommyInnit of the group. As almost always he wasn't using a team skin, but instead his entire team was using his skin, which looked really weird xD And meant he didn't get hit with the punishment sheet ghost skin, like Tommy did for the second time. These guys were hilarious together, at times it was like a fun podcast with incidental Minecraft. Slightly less chaotic and more focused than Wilbur and Grian's previous team, probably because both Phil and Scott's performances are generally so team-dependent. They ended up 6th, less than 1k coins from 2nd.
Maybe I'll watch Tubbo on Blue too eventually because he got drunk during the event and apparently it was hilarious.
I forgot to post about MCC #25:
I watched Phil live that time too, on the Pink Parrots with Wilbur, Grian, and Scott Smajor. It was very chaotic and funny. Of course Wilbur invited Grian to join his D&D group ^^ Here are some highlights. Also:
- Phil: "Chat you're overusing the Wilburing emoji, that's not him wilburing, that's just him explaining a sandwich."
- Phil showing that Grian posted an "everything is fine (chaos in the background)" gif in discord while Wilbur is doing, uh, a thing. Shortly before Wilbur and Scott started singing loudly and badly.
- Wilbur joking asking Grian what he really thinks of him, Grian saying he thinks Wilbur is pretty cool, everyone aww-ing, then Wilbur saying he wished he could say it's reciprocated, Grian saying he's leaving, and Wilbur trying to explain without outright saying it that he meant that Grian is much better than just "pretty cool."
They ended up in last place but by that point I don't think anyone cared that much.
I later watched Jojosolos on the Green Geckos with CPK, Joel, and GoodTimesWithScar. That was a fun team too, with great skins, and they did really well.

Date: 2022-11-11 04:33 pm (UTC)But yeah the thing about the Hermits is they have been really good friends and professional Minecrafters for almost ten years, so even though some of them still aren't very good at competition-type stuff (some of them just learned about using boats to avoid fall damage *last week*? Some of them regularly flub the level of parkour even I can do, because they're so used to flying everywhere and using roads? Some of them apparently don't know what an axe crit is, despite having been in MCC for over a year!) they will always be very entertaining on a team together.
But they tend to pick up new skills fast once they notice they exist, and if they've been training, that explains why Impulse and Bdubs haven't been super active in the Hermitcraft storyline this week. Maybe they do have a good chance at winning!
I definitely shouldn't watch them then.no subject

But yeah, I'm sure they'll learn fast, and even though MCC is not easy for newcomers I'm sure they'll do well and have a good time :)
