Monday Tekkit-Oct. 22, 2012

Welp, I missed a Sips N' Sjin episode from yesterday, but I'll just summarize them both today. The good ol' boys make their basement all nice and pretty. Sips finds a pretty cool spot and tries to tame a cat with his mining laser. They also explore a crevice and tunnel back to their secret base :).

Then Lewis, Simon, and Duncan come. Simon has big plans for the cafes and plans are made to make actual jaffas. They find a Sips in their factory, and Simon uses his head to trick the said Sips. Sips is also looking for Sjin who has been missing for a while. Hope that guy is found soon.

Yogscast Tekkit Map

A lovely Yognaught (https://yogscast.com/member.php?253338-AeVi ) made a Yogscast Tekkit server map. I'm not sure how correct this is, but it is rather helpful for visualizing the map :).

Saturday Tekkit-Oct. 20, 2012

Well hello friends. A rather slow day for Tekkit as there was only one episode from the Yogscast family today. It came from Duncan. He prepares to go on the arduous journey of making Quantum armor. To do this, he shows us him making a mass fabricator and all of that scrap finally comes into use.

Anyways. Enjoy this picture of Sips (courtesy of http://nina-serena.deviantart.com/ ).

Friday Tekkit-Oct. 19, 2012

Welp, I missed a couple days, but I'm back. First up is Rythian and Zoey (and Nilesy). Nilesy gets to work on their pool while Rythian makes some gem armor. About half way through, Zoey remembers a prior engagement and drags Rythian and Nilesy along. They get creeped out by Zoey.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic9NxONXfgs

Then Sips 'N Sjin uploaded a Tekkit episode. They decide to leave their compound due to all of the invasions to set up some secret facilities far away. I don't know where they're going with this, but it seems like a promising storyline :).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRPrfFrHNWI

Finally, Hannah uploaded a Tekkit episode. In this episode she shows off the progress she made over the past two weeks. She then goes on to make an airship harbor. Hannah is a very good builder :). She also makes some windmills.

Tuesday Tekkit-Oct. 16, 2012

Sips 'N Sjin uploaded a Tekkit episode today (shocking since their schedule doesn't include Tuesdays, but hey I'm not complaining). Sjin continues to work on the infinite lava machine since it's not working properly. Sips makes a new machine to help with building the factory, and they talk of who they're going to leave SipsCo to if they both should perish.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu3RvCIUK7k

Then Duncan uploaded a Tekkit today. He shows off his ridiculous amounts of red and dark matter (not quite on Rythian level yet). He then proceeds to make the red matter tools and gets more wizardy by the second :P. I think this episode proves that Duncan is the most knowledgeable in Tekkit out of all the Yogscast. He knows science AND magic!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl5qSRldoEU

Monday Tekkit-Oct. 15, 2012

Rather slow day for Tekkit. Rythian uploaded one episode today. He sets Zoey and Nilesy with the task of planning the pool after they give Nilesy the tour (By the way, Nilesy is the god of love apparently). Rythian makes some infernal armor too which is pretty badass.

Sunday Tekkit-Oct. 14, 2012

Okay guys. This was probably one the best days of Tekkit I've watched. I am dead serious. First up Sips and Sjin. They work out the kinks of their thermopiles, and Sips plans a secret door which of course leads them into a conversation about Narnia, Aslan, and the Wizard of Oz. It's just fantastic. So don't sneeze your pants off because this episode is great!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMe_ZrKn9pE

Tekkit 52, BlueXephos, 14 October 2012. Mark that down in your journal kiddos because history was made today :P. Just kidding of course, but this episode was one of their best of all time. It starts off with Simon serving his hungry customers and cuts to a showdown with Duncan, Lewis, Simon, and the giant head. They of course can't keep their composure which makes it 500 times better. I've watched this episode about 5 times now. Go watch it. Now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REvFrEsf0B4

Although there was only two episodes of Tekkit uploaded from the Yogscast family, it was probably the best day I've witnessed since I started watching in late July. Oh and Nilesy said his Tekkit won't continue until the end of the month which is a downer. I can't wait for it to start up. Hannah said she didn't upload a Tekkit on Friday because of her busy uploading schedule. She said she'll compensate for this wtih a longer episode next week :). Until tomorrow!

Saturday (& Friday) Tekkit-Oct. 13 (& 12), 2012

Well for Friday, Rythian and Zoey seek out the best Poolman in the land for construction of their pool. They instead get Nilesy :P. Just kidding, I'm sure Nilesy will do great after seeing Zyluss and Daltos' pool. Anyway, Nilesy gets a tour of the castle which still needs a name.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aql_s1LRkp8

Then Sips and Sjin come up. Sjin puts the final touches on the infinite lava machine but soon realizes a problem. At the same time, Sips comes across a bit of an issue involving his newly constructed thermopiles. Sips, of course, blames Sjin. #BlameSjin2012

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVqiPAbsx5w

Oh and no Tekkit from the Yogscast family on Saturday :(. But you guys should watch Simon and Lewis play Sumotori. It is quite possibly one of the best videos they've done in a while. It's a part of a new series they're calling "Fan Fridays," in which they play the requested games :).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNWg1QU_zH0

Thursday Tekkit-Oct. 11, 2012

Welp, there was only one episode of Tekkit today from Lewis, Simon, and Duncan. Simon makes more babby pigs while Sips talks nonsense to him and Sjin doesn't talk at all. Simon also creates a little Tiki-Bar as Lewis and Duncan prepare to visit Pig Island.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y2Nfezm8uk

It seems that a lot of people are disinterested in the Pig Island storyline. It will be interesting to see how the storyline responds to this criticism. I personally hope Simon comes back to the Jaffa Factory :(.

Wednesday Tekkit-Oct. 10, 2012

What up? It's time for a recap of Wednesday's Yogscast Tekkit runs. First is Sips 'N Sjin. The boys have fun transporting stuff in the Ender chest as Sjin prepares the infinite lava machine thingy. Sjin also hears a cat and therefore decides to make really weird noises. All in all, just a normal day for those two :P.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUj0ccMa7PE

Next Duncan makes some Red and Dark matter the fun way. The fun way being the complicated, hard way (unlike the easy-mode Power-Flower route some others chose to take *cough cough Rythian and Zoey cough cough*). It turns out his little trick of bones and blaze rods really paid off in diamonds as well. It will be fun to see what Duncan makes out of his Dark and Red matter.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPq9dIQMd14

Last of all, Martyn and Toby get to work on their Tekkit beginnings with new machines. Toby works on their secret base entrance while Martyn pulls together the machines. This of course reveals the name of Martyn's company (they don't have a product yet though).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nZfrL2xnBI

Tuesday Tekkit-Oct. 9, 2012

Oh man it's Tuesday and that means some Tuesday Tekkit is about to go down. Predictably, Rythian uploaded the first of the Yogscast Tekkit today. Zoey shows off her mushrooms (they all have names), and Rythian is a tad bit creeped out. Rythian also gets to meet his baby. They make badass Klein Stars and plan to make better armor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNWdQln9vRg

Second and last of the uploads today comes from Lewis, Simon, and Duncan (might as well include Sips and Sjin too). Simon breeds his two pigs thus forming a little babby pig while Lewis and Duncan test out the fully charged nano armor. Lewis has one of his best quotes in this episode as well. The banter between Sips and Simon with the occasional chip-in from Sjin is just fantastic. I wish Simon, Sips, and Sjin would play other games together.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNWdQln9vRg

But back to Rythian and Zoey's Tekkit - these past 3 episodes have just been fantastic. The banter/flirting makes for good listening. Rythian getting flustered is just amazingly funny as well. This series is probably my favorite at the moment, although Lewis, Simon, and Duncan's series creeped back up with the 50th episode since it was so fantastic. I don't know how I feel about the scripting to be honest. Some of it turns out great, but there are some parts where I just cringe because I know they're trying too hard (ie-the big giant head). Here's to more Tekkit tomorrow :).

Monday Tekkit-Oct. 8, 2012

Hello ladies and gents. Twas an interesting day of Tekkit and for the Yogscast family in general. It all starts with Sips N Sjin. Sips actually does all the work while Sjin messes around in preparation for the infinite lava dealie bob thingy. Sips prepares the Red-Power Dojo as they talk of nonsensical things. You know, just a typical episode from them :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZyqNtbrGxU

And good ol' Duncan uploaded his 55th episode of Tekkit today. He decided he didn't want to go easy mode with the Power Flower and instead made a scientific contraption to get free EMC. To manage this, he has to visit the Nether. Thank god he had the Nano armor....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__MXxLKrurs

PS: Simon and Lewis released a movie trailer for Shadow of Israphel with them starring as their characters IRL. It's probably the best thing ever.

Sunday Tekkit-Oct. 7, 2012

We have a new resident on the Tekkit server. That's right Nilesy resurrected himself from the dead to extract revenge on Sips and Sjin. He gets start-up help from a friend and starts up his pool company. Nilesy has graduated from a pool-boy to a pool-man! Watch out everybody. (And make sure to watch to the end of the video :D)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GyNFaCqnAs

Immediately following, Sips N Sjin uploaded a Tekkit episode. Sips has the boring job, receives a full nano armor suit, and of course flies around with his new jetpack. Sjin plans another trip to the nether so they can get their infinite lava trick going.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDgr3ksIPgE

Last of all, your friendly neighbors (well not really) uploaded a Tekkit today. That's right Lewis, Simon, and Duncan are back. Lewis and Duncan continue working on the important stuff like nano armor and the basement floor while Simon dicks around on Pig Island with Sips and Sjin. However, Simon is in for a big surprise when he arrives though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knSmtrNAmB4

So that's it. To be honest, Lewis, Duncan, and Simon's series is getting a bit cheesy. I do hope that at some point Simon becomes less crazy and joins them in the Jaffa Factory. I'm glad there's other series that aren't as scripted or scripted at all because it's a bit more entertaining at times.

Saturday Tekkit-Oct. 6, 2012

A wonderful day of Tekkit. Just wonderful. It starts off with one of the best episodes ever. Rythian and Zoey leave Teep to guard their fortress as they go searching for a jungle. They come upon two new neighbors locked in a four day feud caused by Nilesy. The mic quality may be off, but the two new guys are just fantastic. I hope we get to see more of them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPbosvG_5eM

And Martyn and Toby come up second. Toby explores the Jaffa Factory and loots Simon's stuff. After, they model their campsite based off some fanart (the same art in the background). I'll just say that the loot from Simon comes in handy for their remodeling project :).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G-SY0L9iew

So yeah. Only two episodes, but I think Rythian and Zoey's series is quickly becoming my favorite to watch. Their banter is just amazing.

Yogscast Tekkit Rivalries

Seems about right. Just need to add Martyn and Toby who don't really have rivalries. And Zyluss and Daltos. Those crazy bickering neighbors :P.

Friday Tekkit-Oct. 5, 2012

Hello everybody! Marvelous episodes of Tekkit were uploaded today and it all starts with Sips N Sjin :). Sips shows off his beautiful new jet pack which Sjin is totally jealous of. Sjin also gets a bit testy when Sips doesn't pay attention to Sjin's infinite lava trick since he's just flying around. (Goddammit Sjin)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJBT2dYcOMw

Hannah uploaded her third part of her Tekkit series. It has 21 minutes of awesomeness as Hannah converts to solar power. Also, she shows off her quarries and I've got to say, Hannah has a lot of diamonds. A bonus ending is included in which she fails hardcore :P.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULr-Xh7YlHI

For a surprise, Duncan uploaded another Tekkit episode today. He creates a vastly over-complicated teleporter system to get from floor-to-floor. It would've been more simple to create some staircase but that wouldn't be in the spirit of Tekkit now would it? :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A6do9EWTK8

And in conclusion, Simon, Lewis, and Duncan bless us with another Tekkit episode. It starts off with Lewis and Duncan going over the Non-Crazy Notice Board while Simon checks under his bed and has a chat.
Lewis and Duncan continue to make the steps toward making jaffas.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkY0uomnVZ8

:( No Tekkit Today

Welp, there's no Tekkit today. So I guess I'll just leave you with some fan-art based on the Tekkit series.

Wednesday Tekkit-Oct. 3, 2012

After the horrible day of no Tekkit, 3 episodes were uploaded today. It starts off with Zoeya and Rythian. Zoey shows off her interior decorating skills and drops the armor. Rythian sighs...a lot. And Gilbert...well he's a bit depressed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpBA3aUADCE

Sips continues to repair the goddamned mess Sjin made (Goddammit Sjin) and makes some way groovy boots that Sjin is secretly jealous of. Sjin talks about making an infinite lava source while Sips says "yea" a lot. I got the feeling Sips really wasn't paying attention :).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vmPtlzlD_Y

Duncan teaches us about teleporting pipes in his 53rd episode of Tekkit today. He of course runs into problems along the way and troubleshoots the errors. By the way, his castle is just too badass.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTqmyrqVY4M

Predictions for the End of the Tekkit World #2

Well since not one member of the Yogscast family uploaded a Tekkit episode today (sad face), I figured now would be as good as time as any to update my predictions.

Scenario 1: Rythian, Zoeya, and Teep take the fight to Sips, Sjin, and Minty. Rythian, having previously talked to Duncan, has Honeydew Inc. on their side. Simon doesn't like the idea of teaming up, so he goes to Pig Island to defend his home turf. Sips decides to take Pig Island from Simon, so a fight to the death occurs. After all the destruction happens to Sips Co., Sjin takes the rampage to Martyn and Toby's camp which gets lost in the madness. Hannah spends her time in the secret underground fortress, but gets discovered by Lewis (who has been cheating by watching her videos :P) and an battle follows. No winners, just destruction.

Scenario 2: Just as Lewis, Simon, and Duncan produce the first jaffa, they are visited by their friendly neighbors Sips, Sjin, and Minty who greet them with a nuke. Rythian, Teep, and Zoeya take advantage of them leaving Sips Co by leaving a nuke there as well. Then in a surprise move, Duncan burns down Hannah's Owl Sanctuary. In retaliation, Hannah blows up Duncan's beloved castle and Strippin's awesome train house. Martyn and Toby remain oblivious to the whole ordeal, and come out on top after all the death and destruction.

Scenario 3: Marytn and Toby decide they are done being pushed around by Duncan and Strippin and they decide to attack. This of course ends with Martyn and Toby's death because they are woefully unprepared. Sips, Sjin, and Minty finally find Rythian, Zoeya, and Teep's fortress and attack. Rythian's power flower is destroyed in the process, and thus making Rythian utterly useless as a mage. Lewis and Duncan take the fight to Sips Co by draining their precious pool and nuke their facilities. Simon meets up with Hannah who enjoy the owls and pigs while death and destruction rains all around them.

Monday Tekkit-Oct. 1, 2012

SipsNSjin uploaded their 52nd episode of Tekkit today! Sips gives life advice while cleaning up the "big goddamned mess Sjin made with his 'controlled' explosion." Sjin makes more nano armor, reconnects the pipes, and tries to work out the alarm. (Goddammit Sjin)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylUdVC4zofo

The 47th episode of Lewis, Simon, and Duncan's Tekkit episode was uploaded today. Simon eagerly awaits  as Sjin and Sips set up the delicate process of bringing pigs to Pig Island while Lewis and Duncan work on the wall of machines (again). Duncan works to figure out why their coal is vanishing so quickly and makes a remarkable discovery.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGCSY_GwM4

Sunday Tekkit-Sept. 30, 2012

Well Rythian uploaded yesterday, and he was the only one. Rythian and Zoeya go to the Nether again. They also put up some signs. (Don't watch this episode if you don't wish to be spoiled for Lewis and Simon's series). This episode puts things into perspective too about how the episodes are filmed and when they are filmed.
