HERMITCRAFT! - WE CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT IT! | Imp And Skizz Podcast (Ep79) 

❤

Such a cool moment for Imp and Skizz. Cant wait to play some MC with you Skizz!

Great to have you join us this season Skizz!

Loved this so much! Welcome once again, Skizz!

Welcome aboard, Skizz!

Oh man, the joy it brought me to see this all those months ago! Glad the whole community gets to see this now :-) Welcome to Hermitcraft Skizz!

You raiding me just as the next member was scheduled to be announced threw my audience in to a FRENZY. They were so sure I was in HC10 and gaslighting all January hahah - so happy for Skizz and Joel, can't wait to see what they make!!

That was just fantastic, touching indeed. Congrats Skizz, been enjoying your videos a lot 😁

Skizz, so glad you're here, I got so choked up when I first saw this intro

"The entire group wants you to join" - *cries* - so did the community. Welcome Skizz to Hermitcraft. I'm excited for your charm and humor to join the group.

congrats skizz!!

I think that a big reason why the Hermitcraft community is so hyped about Skizz joining the server is because we can see ourselves in him. I would say that 99.8% of us are not as good of a builder as Scar or has a redstone brain like Tango. You are so relatable, Skizz, and now you have what every Hermitcraft fan would give our left leg for - a chance to learn directly from these awesome people. You are the viewers' ambassador on the server, and that position is so exciting and unique. Have you thought about doing something similar like the "Words of Affirmation" that you did on Limited Life, but with learning from the hermits? You could find out one speciality from each hermit and go ask them for a lesson. Like building a tree with Gem, positioning an armour stand with Cleo, learn about gradients with Bdubs or get Etho to show how his hopper clock works. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a small building detail or something. You would start to build up your mental Minecraft knowledge library and the viewers would learn right alongside with you.

Also, Doc kind of did a subtle confirmation during the Zedolympics, when he told Skizz "Don't worry Skizz, I'll show you how redstone works... soon."

Thank you Impulse for inviting Skizz on camera, didn't expect that but it was amazing to see that moment! So happy Skizz joined, can't wait to see what's next

Impulse, when you said, "this is great, but I would give anything for this to be Skizz instead of me," it felt my eyes begin to burn because I could feel the love you have for Skizz. The ability to have a true lasting friendship is one of the most precious things God ever gave to mankind.

Can we get Joel on the podcast now? I would love to hear his being asked to HC story. I LOVE that we got to watch Skizz get asked. Love the new members so much! Congrats Skizz!

Oh this intro nearly made me cry. Skizz you deserve it man, your reaction to being invited proves that.

15:45 @MCskizzleman Tango STILL tries to say he is not a builder! His starter base for season 10 has been mistaken for a Bdubs build by at least THREE HERMITS. His deepfrost citadel is one of the best solo Minecraft builds of all time! Tango was once a long time ago not so good at building, and now he is definitively one of the greatest. You have the potential to get there too in time. I imagine your time among hermits will bring out more and more artistic excellence that has lied dormant within you. Just give it time and enjoy the process and your current status. ❤

Impulse is absolutely right, the best moments in Hermitcraft aren't the mega builds, but the interactions between Hermits. For example, in the launch week of decked out 2, the "hanging around with other Hermits while waiting in line" content was just as entertaining as the "playing decked out, the most insane thing made on Hermitcraft ever" content.

when impulse said around 1:10:40 that he would give anything for skizz to be in his place and be the "more successful one" that genuinely made a couple tears drip down my face 🥺

Skizz, people’s love for you isn’t conditional, it’s not dependent on how great of a builder you are. People will watch you and enjoy your videos because you’re an amazing content creator. Don’t forget that! I know it can get hard to get wrapped up in being better, but just know you’re amazing as you are, and you weren’t invited to hermitcraft for no reason, you bring so much to the table.

Skizz really shouldn't think of his building skills as "totally awful." Think more like "totally relatable." Because he's better than I'll ever be, and he's 300x funnier about it.

I like how this was recorded when Skizz had ~95k subs and less than 10 days into Hermitcraft he's at 120k and growing. 🙂

11:35 perhaps an odd addition to this entire segment, but I feel like this is why some fans asked for the Hermits to live together in one singular base for a season (or even part of a season); something along the lines of Hermittopia during the Empires Crossover. They wanted more of you guys hanging out with each other, talking about everything and nothing, and just play a fun game together, with us viewers as a fly on the wall. I don't speak for everyone, but to me, this is where Hermitcraft truly shines. Not to take anything away from how astonishing the builds are, or how mindboggling the redstone feats can be, but to me, the soul of Hermitcraft lies within the friendship, comraderie and plain old joy that can be felt between the Hermits. :)

Impulse having the anxiety of a marriage proposal

A large part of the fandom deducing that skizz and joel were the two new hermits was mainly hopeful because we love both of them so much.

Rewatching this--- I remember watching Grian's first Season 6 episodes where he expressed his own worries that he would be playing on a server where people knew Survival Minecraft a million times more than he did. Hearing Skizz talking about just not wanting to "suck" kind of reminds me of that. Even if incrementally, you'll pick up ideas and techniques and quirks from other people. You're going to do great on Hermitcraft, Skizz. A lot of people are happy you're here for the shenanigans :>

People guessed skizz and joal because of the Life series. Like 80% of the people on that series are on hermitcraft, and of the ones that aren't, skizz and joal are the two that mesh the best with the existing hermits. I don't know if it was intentional, but the Life series ended up being a bit of a testing ground for new hermits. A place where old hermits can play alongside potential hermits and see how things turn out. Not just with each other, but also how the audiences would react to it.

Skizz, the ultimate proof that you belong on Hermitcraft, is that you absolutely nailed that skit you did with Beef! After watching that, I thought: I'm so glad Skizz is on Hermitcraft.

" why are we recording this... I want to say so many cuss words" 😂😂 congratulations Skizz. You're going to bring so much joy and fun to the server!

Skizz...if you pursue growing as a builder, do it only because you WANT to...do not do it because you feel you SHOULD. Part of our joy about you joining HC (not to say we'd be unhappy otherwise) is how you don't fit into any previous molds of hermits! You are your own thing! You don't think there should be such a dichotomy between the psychological and the builder aspect, but that dichotomy--that rawness--is exactly what I teuly believe will propel HC into a server that stays relevant and desirable to watch. You singlehandedly are a massive part of that, friend! So please, just have fun and be yourself unashamedly. Can't wait for more of season 10!!!

“I would give anything for this to be Skizz” you guys have such a beautiful friendship and the pair of you are such an inspiration to a lot of people. Congrats on Hermitcraft, Skizz

For what it’s worth… Skizz, in a world of “Heavy Hitters” like Hermicraft, you fill the space between that the big builds over shadow. Be the glue and fresh set of eyes to new viewers and players who can’t imagine building such grand designs. You have an opportunity to remind people growth comes with time and experience, something my nine year old needs to be told like a lot of kids who think things just magically happen on the internet. I see Hermitcraft as The Muppets, Empires was like Sesame Street and the Life Series is like Fraggle Rock. Crossovers seem familiar and like family is coming to visit. It is an excellent community that you all should be proud of.

Impulse: "Idk how internet sleuths figured it out" Also Impulse, several months ago, while being interviewed by Xisumavoid and told to give only wrong answers, when asked who will be the next person to join Hermitcraft: "Skizzleman"

To be Honest nobody expects skizz to build an awesome mega build or beautiful landscapes, the humor and personality alone is worth every second he is in the hermitcraft server.

"there are so many swear words i wanna say" HAHA. The tango popping in and "fixing" your problem bit is so damn funny! Skizz, your addition to hermitcraft is so much fun!

13:00 that sums it up PERFECTLY, Impulse. "We're a group of friends that just enjoy playing a video game together."

It was hilarious when Tango's phone chimed through the mic and Skizz immediately got blamed for it.

The coolest thing about all of this is how overjoyed Impulse is that his best buddy has joined Hermitcraft, it reminds me of a kid going to the theme park with his best friend.

This season does feel lighter somehow, in a good way. Everything is *fun* and there's more interaction between people. The videos I've seen are more interaction than building time lapses and I love it.

I think you could even turn the whole “not good at building” thing into a segment. You could get together with Bdubs and Scar and I think it would be hilarious to have the good builders try to teach you.

I think Skizz should look at Zedaph about the lack of building skills problem. Don't get me wrong Zedaph is a good builder but definitely not as amazing as some of the others Hermits, however, his content is almost never about the builds, and his way of looking at minecraft (and hermitcraft) has created some of the best moments I've seen on Hermitcraft. I get the feeling that Zedaph looks at building as a set for his comedy movies and I love it so much My point is that although I think he should get better at building, it doesn't have to be (and, in this case and in my opinion, shouldn't be) the main focus.

The pure, unfiltered, JOY on Impulses face is too sweet T^T. I've rewatched/relistened to that intro an unholy amount of times.

I think streaming is great for showing the hanging out and goofing off. Grian was blown away that Gem had like 4000 people list watching them chat and fish. And we were just happy as can be to do just that. It was fun and homey and chill. I was working and just watching you all hang out and fish on Cleo’s steam or on Gem’s was just relaxed and fun!! I am so happy to have Skizz join the server and have been loving his streams and videos.

Impulse is a real one for catching it on camera when he asked skizz to join! I can’t exit to watch the rest of this I’ve been so curious

"the entire group wants you to join" And boy should they! Skizz, you're amazing, and I'm so happy you're on Hermitcraft. This season is going to be a ton of fun!

1:10:29 it honestly made me tear up when Impulse said he would do anything for it to be Skizz. True definition of friendship. Everyone needs a friends like that..❤❤

34:21 I know that moment specifically, Skizz did his woohoohoo Mario sound and Cleo had realized that it wasn't a sound board and that was just Skizz

1:10:40 This almost made me cry, it’s so wholesome to see how much Impulse cares about Skizz.

We all knew because Skizz and Joel just had the right vibes. Between cross overs, decked out 2, and all the videos together (guess that build, phasmo,those types of things) Skizz and Joel just meshed really well and also had exactly the kind of skills and personalities that would enhance Hermitcraft. We are so excited to get to watch Skizz and Joel this season. I’ve never been more happy for a person I don’t know than I was getting the confirmation that Skizz was going to be on this season.

When Grian first started he led storylines by being the pesky younger brother of the server. I see Skizz leading by being the thoughtful person that he is.

That moment where Cleo’s expresses how happy she is you’re now on Hermitcraft was so touching. Maybe you left it in for you more than anyone else but it did generate a sense of shared joy for me as a viewer. The best way to describe it is like, that feeling you get when your child has made great first impressions at kindergarten and now all the kids want to play with them. That sounds weird, but that’s what it’s like. Viewers who knew you before Hermitcraft love that you’re meshing so well with the rest of the hermits and having fun! 😊

Lol the stress of keeping the news inside turned Skizz's hair more gray.

That opening almost made me cry. You and Joel already brought so much to the server. It's been a delight and seeing you finally there is just pure joy. :)

skizz is the jimmy of the hermitcraft server. you dont need to be able to build when you are capable of bringing that kind of personality into hermitcraft. this server showcases the epitome of the minecraft player and every hermit brings their own flavor into the mix, be it building, redstone, personality, whatever. skizz is just a good dude that i reckon folks want to watch no matter what he's up to. i certainly fall into that group. couldnt be more stoked for this addition. skizz is bound to add his own spice to every hermit's narrative and the value that adds to every viewer of each individual channel is incredible.

33:30 - I heard the immediate chemistry between your delivery and VintageBeef's and immediately thought "Oh, boy. Those two are going to be Keralis and xB level shenanigans together and I'm down for it."

skizz passed 100k AND IS ON HERMITCRAFT YAYYY

I love that they recorded Skizz being told he is invited.

The replay buffer is a god tier addition to OBS, I really really hope you guys convince the other hermits to start using it! For example, hearing Etho and Stress say “aw man I wasn’t recording but I got demise’d” was so sad.

When impulse says "there is a prank war every season" correction: "there is a prank war every season with grian in it" 😂😂 ohh im so hyoed for skizz!

Honestly, I figured it out when there was so much talk about Skizz getting a new PC and camera and talk about lighting and all that in the past couple podcasts. Then Skizz gets more and more involved with the Hermits in their side projects. Playing Plate Up with Tango, playing Phasmo and other things with Gem, Scar and Bdubs. That's how you get known by the other Hermits to be a genuine, positive, great person who will continue to fit in with everyone on the server. Congrats for real, Skizz as well as Impulse because he gets to play on the sever with his best friend finally.

Imp being nervous to ask is just so sweet.

PLEASE DO A PODCAST WITH JOEL 🙏🙏

18:39 but think Grian joining in Season 6 and leading the G-Team in the Civil War ... In Season 6!

11:39 I think it's because everyone is deciding to get back to the roots of minecraft instead of jumping into the grandiose structures. People are closer, people are interacting, everything is amazing now even more than it has been in previous seasons. I'm here for the ride

For those who didn’t see Beef’s Ep Skizz works for Big Salmon so getting this much time off is a big deal Congrats Skizz this season is already my favorite

Rocking totally awful is what every music teacher has always told me "if youre the best person in the room, youre in the wrong room" Also, X is an excellent excellent leader. Askigg for people to talk is up to the top on leadership things

“There are some curse words I want to say out of joy” 😂 I’m so glad Skizz joined!! I’m so excited to see his personality in the Hermitcraft realm and all of the interactions I KNOW are going to be comedic gold 🥰

CONGRATULATIONS SKIZZ ON FINALLY JOINING HERMITCRAFT!!!

I'm not an almost 40 year old whole grown ass man getting teared up over Skizz in the opening. Congrats dude

I'd love to see skizz make a real colossal mess of build. Lean into it. Imp is doing cyberpunk. Skizz could do a Kowloon walled city base where you could genuinely get lost. Following skizz even before he joined Legacy with Pearl.

Impulse, you planning this genius plan to record Skizz's reaction was genius! I was so nervous watching that intro AND I KNOW THAT SKIZZ SAID YES lol so glad to have him on hermitcraft

I'm so happy y'all recorded Impulse inviting Skizz to hermitcraft- it's SO FUN to see the reactions!!!

I've been enjoying Skizz's Tango "Don't be That Guy" segments. I'm really glad to see your heart in hermitcraft, Skizz. My draw to watching them has always been their friendships, I'm glad Imp's bestie is in there now! I can also appreciate that it's a big step, because it calls for a larger commitment than how HC started to what they are now.

12:12 Honestly the prank war was my favorite part of Hermitcraft season 9 because it was hysterical to watch.

I think the reason everyone knew it was going to be Skizz and Joel is because we've all seen you guys play together so much. Since membership on Hermitcraft is based on you guys being a group of friends and who you mesh with well it was easy to see who those people would be.

I was introduced to Skizz during the Among Us streams via Tango, Grian, and Scar. At first i just figured Skizz was just "another streamer" and i didn't pay much attention to his personality. It wasnt until i decided to check out this podcast many months ago and soon realized that Skizz is an absolute gem of a human being. So much so that I've added his quote "Nothing has ever been done until the first time it has been done" to my email endings (credit going to him of course). The news of Skizz joining Season 10 literally got me so amped, now getting to experience his sense of humor and his exceptional words of wisdom to the hermits is gonna be phenomenal to watch. I'm so proud of him and can't wait to see his impact on the server, which I can already tell is gonna be massive. You truly deserve it. Congratulations Skizzleman!

Now that Skizz is on the server maybe y'all should do an episode in hermitcraft, I'd love to see the podcast setup in game lol

Just putting this out there, 20 bazillion people, including myself, watched Tango either dig dirt or count to ten. If the audience loves you, it doesn't matter what you do. It's the joys, fails, and laughs along the way that's important. And when Tango finished decked out, it was almost as if we helped him get there, as if we accomplished something too. 😊

Skizz you being a “bad” builder is a breath of fresh air. I look at these massive builds and go I will NEVER be able to do that. I am hoping to build my skills with you. I would love if you get tips from your fellow hermits you can pass them on in your videos. I want to learn right beside you🥰

Omg I cant wait for Gem to see Skizz’s impression of her lol, I laughed so hard at that part!

Having watched Hermitcraft for years, near its beginning. Skizz should never worry about being a great builder. Go back and watch when some of the other Hermits in early seasons first joined and what they first built. They didn’t all start off being where they are now. Watching them all grow over the years and become even more amazing has been the journey. It’ll all come with time. Just have fun, that makes the best content, when the Hermits are enjoying themselves.

Hermitcraft Season 10 has the vibe of a sports team that won the championship last year. The core is solid - now adding support pieces for variety and longevity. Loving all the collaboration so far.

I do specifically remember Cleo's "Skizz I'm so glad you're here" , such a little thing but so memorable :) very sweet

Regarding creative mode building, I think Gem was really smart to stream some of her time in creative Minecraft when she was experimenting with building styles. It doesn't have to be a 100% solo offline experience. I would totally watch Hermits in a small creative world just testing out ideas or teaching each other building tips that could be brought over to the main server. Stream would be fun for audience interaction, but it could also make a funny training montage.

33:25 skizz and beef are so freaking iconic as the big salmon mobsters! Please give us more beef collabs!

When Impulse joined the server and had imposter syndrome, the Hermits gave him a job. Build an iron farm. The Hermits need to give Skizz a job. Lead a collaborative project on the server to rival what Doc and the Hive Mind pulled off last season. And then there’s the plot hook for your inevitable war.

Skizz isn't a builder, he's an entertainer. His natural habitat (where he truly shines) is the spotlight. Example; the Life Series. He got killed 2x in the first few minutes, and where most people would have rage quite, he was laughing and having a good time. I would argue that he is most comfortable in a crisis, rather than when things are going good.

IMP AND SKIZZ ON HERMITCRAFT!!! THIS SEASON WILL BE SO AMAZING!!!!!

25:00 that just proves to me how much of an amazing person Skizz is. Being willing to pay the lost wages because he asked them to stop at a certain time. I've done construction type work for a good majority of my life, and people like that are the best to work for! They're the best clients

Hermits have made the right decision to focus on the comeraderie and just playing together, which is what makes the content so enjoyable. The building is secondary, in my opinion, as a fan.

"There are so many cuss words I wanna say out of joy" is so real, oh Skizz ❤️

Joel and Skizz just made sense!!! Between the life series and being friends with many of the hermits (and the fact that Joel was literally on Hermitcraft Season 9 for 2 separate events), they made the most sense ti be added, especially when you eliminate other contestants due to other factors. Plus, I think it was a lot of hopeful thinking and manifestation from the community, who really wanted to see you both join! ^-^ I’m so glad to see you on Hermitcraft, Skizz! I hope you have the best season

That intro made me tear up. Nothing like seeing dreams come true!

Here’s how everyone guessed, impulse and Grian= some of the biggest members of hermit craft, skizz and imp best friends, Joel and Grian best friends, so there names were obvious contenders for the new members

11:00 I love that the Hermits came to that realization because it's the reason I watch all the videos. I've always love the times when they all were just goofing off together. The increase in VODs of all their streams has also been so fun.

I want to hear from Impulse's wife if he was as nervous proposing to her as he was inviting Skizz to Hermitcraft.

I LOVE THE OPENING CLIP SO MUCH!!! The complete surprise and tentativeness of Skizz makes my heart so happy. Proud of you!

There are builders, terraformers, redstoners and storytellers on servers. You're a storyteller Skizz! You'll do fantastic! Jimmy also was known for being a bad builder, but he has grown so much during Empires and I'm totally confident you'll grow like that too! Just watch the difference between week 1 season 10 and week 1 of season 11 in the future and you'll already see Minecraft growth! But don't forget, we love you for your social skills and storytelling and that's something you already bring to the server in abundance ❤ Good luck and have fun Skizz!❤

Skizz I'm also not a great builder, to make something pretty takes me several iterations. In the last server with my friends I built a giant house entirely of cobble and played it off as "The Cobble Kingdom" and just kept doing little things to it over many weeks until finally I textured the walls, terraformed the exterior, and wound up with a BEAUTIFUL structure even if all my friends were skeptical. It took me so long because of how many times I had to basically redo things, but it was such a positive learning experience. Don't be afraid to make something ugly! Just build! Then play with it until you find things you like and you'll develop your style eventually :)
