What was it called again? Third Life! I almost made it to the end, like, come on now! Come on now. There we go. Somebody asked me, it was like: “how did you- how on EARTH did you make it to the end of Third Life? And then you can barely make it in Hermitcraft?” And I’m like: “two different series!” Like, one of ‘em? I’m like, on, right? I’m on, got ma shield, I’ve got ma sword, I’m being super careful. I’m dodgin’, I’m weavin’. And in Hermitcraft, I’m just an oblivious fool. Like, da-da-da da-daa, falling into lava (laughs). Just a completely diff- Like, I’m just like a completely different person. I told Grian, I was like, “dude, sometimes my brain is just on idle”. It’s just like, on idle, It’s like (raises hands to the sides of his head and hums). And when I wanna turn it on, you know? Then I’m actually not that bad at stuff! But ninety percent of the time, my brain is on- it’s LITERALLY on idle. Just (hums again, then laughs).
“(Reading chat) I understand.” Thank you! I’m glad some people understand. Plot armor is just not actually true. Some people will say that, but that’s just a perception that is untrue. My- I think Etho summed it up really well, it was like: “I wanted to kill you SO badly, but then when you said that “I’ve got a deal for you that you’ve- That you’ll-”” How do you say it? “I’ve got a de-” I said: “I’ve got a deal for you and you can’t resist.” And he’s like: “how are you supposed to kill somebody when they’ve got a deal? I should probably no deal but I just. Want to know. What the deal is.” That- There- That- That was like about four, five different times somebody said that. It was like: “I was gonna kill you, and then you asked: “would you like to see the deal I have for you?”” (laughs)
My whole goal was to talk myself out of situations and I succeeded at that! I think a lot of people thought that Third Life had, more of like a plan going in than it really had? I mean, we all logged on, we would talk about the most random things before we started, and then it was like: “alright! Let’s go play!” Because we would play for like, two, three hours, so everybody was on at the same time, and stuff like that. There was literally no plan. I went into it blind with the series, with a build in mind, and I never built it. That’s how crazy it was. Eventually it was just like: “tsch, I’m just gonna roll with it, I’m just gonna roll with it. I’m gonna try my best not to die.” And that didn’t work out as well as I was hoping.
But you know what? I went into that with an idea of a build, and then I realized, you know what? That’s not what I want from this series. Actually, when I- It was literally in the episode when I realized, you know what? I’ll try some different things like this. I wanna try more interaction than build. And I’m glad I did, I’m glad I did, it was literally in that first episode, especially when I died. I was like, you know what?
(Talking about his stream) I’m dead now. I was about to die, but the ladder saved me.
Uhm, when I died I was like, you know what? I’m gonna go in a different direction now. Now that I died, with the creeper explosion, I wanna… I wanna try some different things. I want to- I wanna try some different things. And, uhm, and I’m super glad that I did, uhm… Yeah, I’m super glad that I did. ‘Cause I think that I, I think what I did in that series, one thing at least for me as like, personal growth of- of content creators, I worked on my, like, improv skills, and my ability to think on my feet, as fast as I could in situations. Uhm, so I really- I’m really for that, in that I think I’ve- I grew as a content creator from the series, more than, I think, any other series that I’ve ever done.
It was also just, an insane amount of fun, uhm, there was so much to digest from that series, just- it- it’s a weird feeling, because it’s- it’s, you start that- you start out, you know, like: “okay, we’re playing… now!” For three hours. And it- it- it’s like you’re not even in control of yourself at that point. You just- you’re just going with the flow of it? And, uhm, yeah, it was just so much fun.
And also the people on, it was just fantastic. So much fun meeting bigbeans, and Scott, and Solidarity- I mean, seriously, I still don’t even know what his real name is, like, everyone’s calling him a different name, it’s the first time I’ve met him and- each person’s calling him something different and I’m just like: “I don’t know what’s going on here! I’m so confused! (Laughs) I’m so confused.”
And bigb with his cookies? Oh, oh, and the EDITING- the editing of Little- LittleWood, like- Also, those guys, it’s tough ‘cause they don’t always go by their YouTube name or their, uhm, they go by their real name? And I always get- I always get confused, like: “Martyn, what do you want me to call you? I’m so confused here!” Uhm, but yeah, no, I- I- It was so much fun meeting all of them, I really enjoyed it.
I think I called him Johnny, at one point, I think- I think next season I’m just gonna call him Johnny, that’s just- that’s just what I’m gonna call him. That’s just- That’s his new name. That’s his new name (laughs).
But yeah, no, I- I would LOVE to do something again with them. Ah, it was so fun. And all the Hermits, you know? All the Hermits. Ren, just, always knocking it out of the park. Oooh, he’s knocking it out of the park, that guy. Ah, I love what he did with the, uhm, Renchanting. Like, it started out as so peaceful and nice. And then all of a sudden it was, whoof, really took a turn. Really took a turn.
You guys haven’t seen Third Life? I- I encourage you to watch it, it’s a- it’s a- it’s a really, really fun series. Like, super… As intense as it is? It’s also super chill and laid back. Uhm, I think you’d get a kick out of it. I tell you- I tell you what, like, at the end there? I had no idea what to do. I had no idea what to do. It was so funny, I was thinking- I was just thinking about this, like, we’re at the end, Dogwarts has fallen, like, nobody expects ME to kill those guys, and everyone’s like (shrugs, then laughs): “What do we do?”
And then, then like, my brain just like, turned on. I’m like (sounds unknown to man), kill pass, kill pass. And I threw that on the ground, then like- and then the watch incident? Oh my gosh. Bdubs pretended to be a watch aficionado? How DARE that man. How dare that man pretend, how man- how- how dare he play on my heartstrings of- of watches? (Jellie singing the song of her people in the background). There- There’s nothing that I can do for ya, I’m sorry. ‘Cause you’ll have- you’ll have to meow at someone else to get you up. Playin’ on a man’s heartstrings, of liking watches.
