Poor skizz, he did such a good job and people all found him so quickly. If it weren’t for the video being out, he could try to have other friends find him until he finally gets a satisfying run 😂
When making a secret entrance behind a painting, I find it really helpful to make it only one and a half blocks high. That way, you need to crouch to get in, which a lot of people don't do when they test wether or not there is an entrance behind the painting.
Skizz, not sure if you'll see this but genuinely that build was amazing. Literally the best one I've seen so far with how creative and convoluted everything was. When you said to Grian in his POV "I know what that feels like" I instantly figured someone had found you without exploring but I really didn't think it would be everyone, unlucky. Wish everyone had gotten to see more of this build, it really was super creative and convoluted. I think the best advice I can give for the future is that you need to always plan that people are going to instantly go into the area that you're going to be in. Essentially what that means is to hide the hiding spots so they're a bit less "obvious" because as you said, if someone goes into the dungeon, you're pretty much cooked. This build was distraction-based but it was all in all really cool and I'm glad you went so in-depth with all the little secrets and surprises. Congrats on full-time!
when I saw the redstone lever trick, I REALLY hoped that at the very top of the castle there would be an archery course set up where one of the target blocks opened an iron door in that small building he put up there. There's TONS of bows and arrows around... so make people use them!
no, he should have had a room he had to jump off the stair case through a painting into. everyone checked the ground ones. no one checked the higher wall ones.
Skizz be teling us he's not a builder like it'll distract from the fact that he's HILARIOUS and an actual genius with trolls and goofing around, which is arguably more enjoyable to watch, lol fr though, skizz, you are improving so much already with your building with just a short while on hermitcraft! And those Joel and Lizzie stockades!? SO good XD
Yes! All of this exactly, I totally agree. Skizz up there as one of my favorite hermits right now. Top 5 or possibly even top 3. I'm not here to be impressed, I'm here to be entertained. And Skizz never fails to make me laugh. I look forward to seeing him grow as a builder, but that's not what I watch him for.
As cool as it is to see people build the amazing things in Minecraft, it’s their personalities that really get me invested. And Skizz is like so talented in that regard. It’s his personality that just drives everything and he’s so inviting. Like if Skizz is in a video you know it’s gonna be a good time.
This castle is genuinely a really good build, I do large-scale builds and would struggle to make all these twists and turns. Also, the stocks are genius!
If Skizz has just hidden in the small wooden house at the top of the walls it would’ve taken ages. Grian was the only one who even went up all the way, and even then he didn’t even go on the wall.
Everybody jumped in the water immediately cuz shubble and gem like to put hiding spots underwater and everyone's used to that now. Ps. I think impulse just has skizz radar. Like an internal skompass or something
No that’s so sad, that was such a great build with so many cool hidden features. Your friends know you too well. If it wasn’t for that block being missing at first, I don’t think grian would have found you
I'm also upset that Major and Impulse found your (new) hiding spot so quickly. I'm so glad you gave us a tour before they went looking around because if we had only seen it from their perspectives, we wouldn't have seen all the hiding spots you had made.
Skizz no more self bashing! You're a great builder. You just haven't found your stride yet. It happens to everyone. You have immense potential, i can see it. Learning is done one block at a time!
Hey you did great! You just need to learn how the others operate. Scott is very methodical so you want to hide as far up/away from the entrance as possible. Jimmy is easily distracted/loves to explore so if you make fun looking potential hiding spots that's where he'll be. Havent seen impulse or grian do it before so more info needed. But you did a great job!!!! Grian and Jimmy took ages to find you. One little suggestion if I may - add a timer when they are seeking so we know who won. Cant wait for the next one!
I laughed at the puffer fish dip EVERY time. Skizz you beautiful bastard! I swear, not a single episode has passed in which this man hasn't made me guffaw like, a puffer fish. :))
the moment I saw you get "Medieval", I realized something: you and MythicalSausage together would be the biggest nightmare imaginable for all of your PG RUclipsr friends
Prediction: Scott finds him immediately, Jimmy gets super annoyed at all the dummies, Grian finds him fairly quickly, Impulse... I dunno, acts like Impulse? Spoiler warning: Edit: I GOT IT RIGHT
I love how Skizz is concerned about being too difficult and then Grian was just casually dropped a universe on the crew 🤣 Love seeing you in little one offs like these, Skizz!! Love that you're venturing into putting such fun small details into the builds, love the addition of using your pals as Props around the area!! Makes for great story telling :D
The social engineering that went into this was absolutely wonderful. I think you should've stuck to your guns! I think the thing you forgot about was that Grian and Jimmy are masters of brute force, but Scott and Impulse are very thorough with their investigations. Grian and Jimmy barrel at the first thing they see, while Impulse and Scott comb very methodically from bottom to top in order to not miss anything. Great job, with very silly consequences! The build was spectacularly convoluted
Honestly, it’s not your fault at all that they found you so quick. There is NO WAY of knowing who will go where first. I loved the variety of troll spots and they were honestly so funny. I’m glad Jimmy got to see some of them before he found you.
His sense of humor combined with his steadily improving building skills as well as his fantastic ability to tell stories. Is such a good combination that I don't know that I saw coming but can now only wonder at all the incredible things he has coming now that he is full-time and always getting better in the game. I absolutely loved this build and all the little details.This was such a fun watch. It's also giving a little bit of stanley parable's vibes and I love that 😂
Skizz, your building is improving so much! This build was so amazing and I hope they all got to explore it after the game. I will say, that one shack on the top floor may have been a good option for change of hiding spot since none of them went to the top aside from Grian when he went through the tower.
I think they had a tracking device on him, literally EVERYONE, skipped the floors he wasn't on, except Grian trying to hide the conspiracy by pretending to not know he wasnt in the underground cellars as well as the top of the tower.
Tough luck 😂 I loved all the little confusion hidey holes! If you're interested in suggestions: I may just have missed it, but I'd love a seek-time comparison next time ^^ Great video, and the castle looks great!
Scott (dangthatsalongname) is really good at checking Everywhere, so I'm not surprised he found the dungeon. Turns out Impulse has proven to be equally as throughout, I hope to see him included in more of these! Also awesome job Skizz! I loved your build!
THE INTRO IS SO GOOD ❤❤ AND THE CASTLE LOOKS SO COOL TOO DUDE! ❤❤❤ AND SEEING JUST YOU WALKING BY AND COMPLETELY DISREGARDING LIZZIE AND JOEL WHILE THEY ARE IN THE PRISON THING IS SO FUNNY Genuinely feels so good seeing you playing in these, homie buddy
I love the smack to the back of Impulse's head in the intro. It's just so well timed and juxtaposed to the "take the high road" AND it feels like something you'd do after two decades+ of friendship. The build is also really great! I love seeing you evolve as a builder when you have the time to really figure out what you're doing and stuff!
Skizz I really love this build! It’s not super textured or beautiful but, I don’t know, something about it being rough really gives it the medieval vibe more than anything else I’ve seen in Minecraft. I like the weird block choices (like for the dungeon walls) and the generally convoluted layout. You don’t get enough credit as a builder and I think you bring something unique to the table.
Skizz, I've been watching you for a long while now, and I am so so impressed with how much you have grown as a creator :) from your builds to your editing, it's super exciting seeing you flourish and find your style :) we are all soooo proud of you, and I hope you feel the same way ❤
could you maybe next time, time the seekers on how long they take to find you? this way we can see wich one of them found you the quickest. wich is fun to compare. anyways, I loved your build and it's so fun to see you get included in these collabs!
You had some fun hiding ideas! I loved seeing everyone going into the moat first! 😂 Cool dungeon. Loved seeing Joel and Lizzie in stocks. That was a creative way to do them. I loved how you guessed Grian’s build so fast!
you did really well Skizz! the effort that went into every block and chest is much appreciated. it's great to see people interacting with a structure entirely made by you. they were talking about the floors, doors, rooms, pufferfish, redstone and so on! that's the power of creating something. this might not be something that suits you, but your comedic signs, puns, and usage of blocks is still genius, as Jimmy said. you have good thinking
yeah, the painting spot would have been so much better if you required some light parkor... or even one jump, to reach it instead. Dont just leave it against the outer wall of the stairs where someone could find it by accident simply because of how tight the staircase is, put it across from the top landing or make them parkor from the same spot up a few extra paintings to the top of the stairwell.
Actually, Skizz, it can be possible to predict each player's route by their mentality! Grian and Jimmy are chaotic and unorganized people (i mean it in the best way possible), they were bound to explore what first meets their eyes - hence why they explored the first floor and then went upstairs (as from the start they knew towers exist, and in their brains it was the 'next stop') and never catched the dungeon that was close to the wall and barely visible. Now, Scott and Impulse are tactics. They are organized, meticulous players who always aim for the most optimal route for the win. That's why they immediately went downstairs - starting from the lowest point to the top is the best way to find someone. It's kinda instinctal too, thinking 'prey' won't escape you if there's no way for them but up. An effect of considering each player's mentality can be seen in Smajor's video. He was changing hiding places every round and it was always a case of 'all the other guys looked there first but the current player found current hiding spot last'. You can see it with how with G he hid in the place up, behind the parkour, as it's a place you don't see immediately; same with Jimmy, tho with Jimmy it's a matter of hiding behind a smart trick he just won't consider; yet with Impulse, who'd be meticulously checking everything from the bottom to the top, Scott hid himself on the highest point possible, making it the last place Impy would check.
Oh, also speaking of mentality participating in those videos, it's also very telling with what people focus on while building. Scott: he's the _mastermind_, he's great at building games and predicting people's movements. He prepared a dozen of hiding places and was choosing them based on his judgment of everyone's character. (like how he didn't choose the parkour course for Skizz or Impulse, or didn't choose the ice cream 'smart trick' for someone like G or Impy) Grian: for him it's not about time or hiding, it's about his vision and the journey. His build was very straightforward in a way that it wasn't exactly 'find Grian' but rather 'reach the end'. He had a perfect vision of his space pillar, he had the story of going from the cozy house to different worlds, etc. Jimmy: he's kinda like Grian but he focuses not on the story or particular vision but on 'first impression'. He thought DK was a great idea and he built it, not even considering that he'd need lots of hidey holes lol he's the type to not plan something and just go with their gut Skizz: bullying! haha, i mean all the signs and references. You focus more on the humor and funny detailing. Like those chests - they didn't need to be packed with stacks of swords and armour but you did it, because it's fun, and when you're focused on one task you work through details while looking at it Haven't seen Impy's episode yet, he's next in line, so maybe I'll update after :D
One trick I'd love to see people trying for a hiding spot: Have a door leading to a very small space that's obviously empty, so people don't go inside (like the triple door thing in your dungeon). Then remove the blocks that door covers up when open and use that as a secret hiding place.
what insane rotten luck. you had so many red herrings and no one explored any of them. the fact everyone got in the moat and got annoyed at the pufferfish was hilarious.
Skizz that was an awesome build with unique ideas of randomness that belongs in the medieval castles. You should be proud your building is improving a lot and added to your comedic comments with it is epic😂
the intro had me absolutely cracking up! something about the characters sliding across the screen and "its best to take the high road, celebrate with them and act mature about it" SMACK amazing job I'm 15 seconds into the video and already laughing my head off
"You got G over here having a bad day" I feel like all your friends in this dungeon are having a bad day. Even befire anyone starts seeking. what did joel and lizzi do to ya 😂
You could've put trapdoors instead of signs behind the painting. That makes it harder to go through the painting, especially if you put the two trapdoors on opposite sides.
Skizz is genuinely one of my favorite like life series/hermitcraft person?? Like that group of people if you get me. He's one of the sweetest, most genuine, he's relatable, and even though he's not the best builder he's so freaking underrated for no reason
0:00 - Introduction (and let me know that I CACKLED) 0:15 - Pick a theme! 2:45 - Building the arena 21:16 - Showing off the builds 25:54 - Grian 30:29 - Jimmy 35:48 - Impulse 39:24 - Scott
"Because it's MY United States of Whatever!!!" You really do have that song on the brain... For the last several months. Lol Great job Skizz, you were robbed!!!!
this build is so good!! seriously, theres so many little details, and its so fun to see you include your friends even if they arent present for the video lol thats horrid luck for the hiding places though, they must have been sniffing for ya!
OMG. I have just seen the intro and burst out laughing. I was eating my lunch btw, now I have a mess to clean up! Thanks Skizz, you are my favourite MC youtuber, even before you joined HC. Love you buddeh!
I think you did a good job in making your build immersive. Being able to get lost in the build might be a good tactic to help you hide but honestly, I don't feel like that's why you did it. You're getting farther into your journey to become a better builder. Keep pushing yourself with time constraints, immersion, detailing and it will become more natural and reflexive. You do really good stuff and I feel like you are starting to become more confident but you get discouraged because it takes you longer than some other builders. Don't get discouraged. You're getting faster as a builder and those individual skills will come as you flex those creative muscles. The way you build right now if you think about forced perspective and layering detail based on depth and perspective I think your building will be taken to the next level.
Dude. You are improving so much with building. And improving our building by proxy. Seeing you push through the learning curve gave me the motivation to do the same. After hours of work and learning, I have something I’m proud of, and it’s thanks to your attitude and dedication to your work❤❤
This was amazing!!! I loved watching you come up with all the details and tricks to troll them with, I actually shouted at my TV when Impulse and Smajor found you so fast! Like that was an insane build for build and seek! Can't wait to see what you come up with in the next minigame
All the sudden now that Skizz is going full time I can genuinely tell a difference in his editing, a little more comedic and polished, love to see it!
I noticed this as well. Love to see him thriving ❤❤
No BM, but it's All of a sudden
But you're right, Skizz is doing great
"It is the cosmic pillar of creation Skizz!"
"Well, duh!"
I lost it.
Lost what?
That needs to be a meme. The way they say it is hilarious
If that’s a horn on Hermitcraft, I’m not going to be happy
I swear that Impulse did NOT see him behind the armor stand at first. I actually think skizz popping out scared him lol. He should have stayed put!
You could see his name tag before he went into the castle
@@truebornjester8703 when they r in adventure mode, they can't
skizz said if impulse came down there he'd run at him
@@aspenfiress exactly
It genuinely feels so good to see skizz being included in a lot more of these fun collabs. Its awesome 😎
Agreed
Hooray for the life series. That series made this avalanche
I mean of course! Skizz is Superb!
@@mechatengu7368 Also that he has a lot more time now when he went full-time
Right ❤❤❤
Poor skizz, he did such a good job and people all found him so quickly. If it weren’t for the video being out, he could try to have other friends find him until he finally gets a satisfying run 😂
Dude, right?!
@@MCSkizzleman You may have been found quickly, but I had a hoot watching this. It was a blast! 😂
When making a secret entrance behind a painting, I find it really helpful to make it only one and a half blocks high. That way, you need to crouch to get in, which a lot of people don't do when they test wether or not there is an entrance behind the painting.
Now that's clever
33:41 American Jimmy jumpscare
It was really good! I was surprised
that was so jarring
American Jimmy isn't real American Jimmy cant hurt you
American Jimmy:

Cursed! Cursed!!!!
Skizz, not sure if you'll see this but genuinely that build was amazing. Literally the best one I've seen so far with how creative and convoluted everything was. When you said to Grian in his POV "I know what that feels like" I instantly figured someone had found you without exploring but I really didn't think it would be everyone, unlucky. Wish everyone had gotten to see more of this build, it really was super creative and convoluted. I think the best advice I can give for the future is that you need to always plan that people are going to instantly go into the area that you're going to be in. Essentially what that means is to hide the hiding spots so they're a bit less "obvious" because as you said, if someone goes into the dungeon, you're pretty much cooked. This build was distraction-based but it was all in all really cool and I'm glad you went so in-depth with all the little secrets and surprises. Congrats on full-time!
I think and hope they play the map a lot more times just off cam, there's too many good spots he made to not hide in!
when I saw the redstone lever trick, I REALLY hoped that at the very top of the castle there would be an archery course set up where one of the target blocks opened an iron door in that small building he put up there. There's TONS of bows and arrows around... so make people use them!
12:22
Skizz doing a walkthrough of the dungeon like a realtor while scary ambience plays feels so in-character for him
I thought he had intentionally added the sound to play when someone enters the dungeon because the timing was so perfect 😂
the lizzie and joel caught me so off guard😭🤣 so nice to see more videos with you, jimmy, scott etc :)
the lizzie & joel is SO funny! i wanna make that!
Sneaky head thief-though he missed adding three more that have popped on of late
I'm so glad skizz has improved at his building, it really shines through in collabs like this and his hermitcraft builds
Ouch, tough luck with those hiding spots, Skizz. I actually thought that you had a lot of clever misdirections and the signs were hilarious.
18:21 I see a sad mistake, he should have had one decoy room in the stairwell. Made them think that he decided to hide elsewhere.
Maybe if Scott invites him again, Skizz might be more aware of that
no, he should have had a room he had to jump off the stair case through a painting into. everyone checked the ground ones. no one checked the higher wall ones.
@@nomadhakunamatata5793 dude yea i was thinking that. That would have been such a fire spot
Skizz be teling us he's not a builder like it'll distract from the fact that he's HILARIOUS and an actual genius with trolls and goofing around, which is arguably more enjoyable to watch, lol
fr though, skizz, you are improving so much already with your building with just a short while on hermitcraft! And those Joel and Lizzie stockades!? SO good XD

It’s his personality that just drives everything and he’s so inviting. Like if Skizz is in a video you know it’s gonna be a good time.
Skizz telling us hes not a builder to distract us from the fact that hes an AMAZING storyteller like his build was so fun and immersive
The funniest part is them all shouting “why did he put pufferfish in the moat?!!!.” Like it’s not a medieval castle 😂
That smack upside the head made me giggle, this tells me I'm gonna laugh a lot during this video! Well done Skizz!
yeah same, I almost gave myself a headache from laughing at that alone! XD
This castle is genuinely a really good build, I do large-scale builds and would struggle to make all these twists and turns. Also, the stocks are genius!
Sometimes you just gotta start with the floor
If Skizz has just hidden in the small wooden house at the top of the walls it would’ve taken ages. Grian was the only one who even went up all the way, and even then he didn’t even go on the wall.
That slap at the beginning was personal XD
Everybody jumped in the water immediately cuz shubble and gem like to put hiding spots underwater and everyone's used to that now.
Ps. I think impulse just has skizz radar. Like an internal skompass or something
Would you wager Katherine did a deadlier version of that moat?
No that’s so sad, that was such a great build with so many cool hidden features. Your friends know you too well.
If it wasn’t for that block being missing at first, I don’t think grian would have found you
Your build was SO good! I'm glad it got Jimmy for a good bit! The lore of Impulse being "lucky" when it comes to stuff with you two is INSANE. 😂
I'm also upset that Major and Impulse found your (new) hiding spot so quickly. I'm so glad you gave us a tour before they went looking around because if we had only seen it from their perspectives, we wouldn't have seen all the hiding spots you had made.
U mean Smajor? As in Scott?
@@midnightwest2520 Someone's not watched the Life Series from certain perspectives 😉
@@WaterAndEarthGirl no I did not
33:40 XD the jimmy american accent is hilarious
Skizz no more self bashing! You're a great builder. You just haven't found your stride yet. It happens to everyone. You have immense potential, i can see it. Learning is done one block at a time!
It’s actually so cool to see skizz’s progress improving as a builder since joining Hermitcraft
Parkour skills, too-if you’ve seen the snail training blimp hijacked off Tango’s base
Skizz I think this is one of the best interiors you've ever done. So awesome to see you growing and now as a full time time content Creator!
Hey you did great! You just need to learn how the others operate. Scott is very methodical so you want to hide as far up/away from the entrance as possible. Jimmy is easily distracted/loves to explore so if you make fun looking potential hiding spots that's where he'll be. Havent seen impulse or grian do it before so more info needed.
But you did a great job!!!! Grian and Jimmy took ages to find you. One little suggestion if I may - add a timer when they are seeking so we know who won.
Cant wait for the next one!
I laughed at the puffer fish dip EVERY time. Skizz you beautiful bastard! I swear, not a single episode has passed in which this man hasn't made me guffaw like, a puffer fish. :))
The Liam Lynch reference at 18:54 threw me for a loop. United States of Whatever is the song, however, Rapbot is my JAM.
The intro 🤣
18:54 "3 am im on the corner, wearing my leather!" SKIZZ! Is that a Sifl and Olly reference?! This is my United States of WHATEVER~~!

This is why you do sneakier stuff. Like hide in a secret room, inside a secret room, inside a secret room.
Impulse saying "I'm a little worried about you" (39:21) is exactly the friend we all need. I cracked up 😂

yeah, the painting spot would have been so much better if you required some light parkor... or even one jump, to reach it instead. Dont just leave it against the outer wall of the stairs where someone could find it by accident simply because of how tight the staircase is, put it across from the top landing or make them parkor from the same spot up a few extra paintings to the top of the stairwell.

Actually, Skizz, it can be possible to predict each player's route by their mentality!
Grian and Jimmy are chaotic and unorganized people (i mean it in the best way possible), they were bound to explore what first meets their eyes - hence why they explored the first floor and then went upstairs (as from the start they knew towers exist, and in their brains it was the 'next stop') and never catched the dungeon that was close to the wall and barely visible.
Now, Scott and Impulse are tactics. They are organized, meticulous players who always aim for the most optimal route for the win. That's why they immediately went downstairs - starting from the lowest point to the top is the best way to find someone. It's kinda instinctal too, thinking 'prey' won't escape you if there's no way for them but up.
An effect of considering each player's mentality can be seen in Smajor's video. He was changing hiding places every round and it was always a case of 'all the other guys looked there first but the current player found current hiding spot last'.
You can see it with how with G he hid in the place up, behind the parkour, as it's a place you don't see immediately; same with Jimmy, tho with Jimmy it's a matter of hiding behind a smart trick he just won't consider; yet with Impulse, who'd be meticulously checking everything from the bottom to the top, Scott hid himself on the highest point possible, making it the last place Impy would check.
Oh, also speaking of mentality participating in those videos, it's also very telling with what people focus on while building.
Scott: he's the _mastermind_, he's great at building games and predicting people's movements. He prepared a dozen of hiding places and was choosing them based on his judgment of everyone's character. (like how he didn't choose the parkour course for Skizz or Impulse, or didn't choose the ice cream 'smart trick' for someone like G or Impy)
Grian: for him it's not about time or hiding, it's about his vision and the journey. His build was very straightforward in a way that it wasn't exactly 'find Grian' but rather 'reach the end'. He had a perfect vision of his space pillar, he had the story of going from the cozy house to different worlds, etc.
Jimmy: he's kinda like Grian but he focuses not on the story or particular vision but on 'first impression'. He thought DK was a great idea and he built it, not even considering that he'd need lots of hidey holes lol he's the type to not plan something and just go with their gut
Skizz: bullying! haha, i mean all the signs and references. You focus more on the humor and funny detailing. Like those chests - they didn't need to be packed with stacks of swords and armour but you did it, because it's fun, and when you're focused on one task you work through details while looking at it
Haven't seen Impy's episode yet, he's next in line, so maybe I'll update after :D
One trick I'd love to see people trying for a hiding spot: Have a door leading to a very small space that's obviously empty, so people don't go inside (like the triple door thing in your dungeon). Then remove the blocks that door covers up when open and use that as a secret hiding place.
Commenting so this comment might get boosted to the top!
what insane rotten luck. you had so many red herrings and no one explored any of them.
the fact everyone got in the moat and got annoyed at the pufferfish was hilarious.
Skizz that was an awesome build with unique ideas of randomness that belongs in the medieval castles. You should be proud your building is improving a lot and added to your comedic comments with it is epic😂
the intro had me absolutely cracking up! something about the characters sliding across the screen and "its best to take the high road, celebrate with them and act mature about it" SMACK
amazing job I'm 15 seconds into the video and already laughing my head off
Me too!!
First build and seek with Skizz, what a great addition! Sinister build, I love it!
So glad we'll be seeing more of skizz now that he's full time. Wishing you luck brother!
"You got G over here having a bad day"
I feel like all your friends in this dungeon are having a bad day. Even befire anyone starts seeking. what did joel and lizzi do to ya 😂
That was such a cool build! I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit for how long the first two took to find you, they explored quite a bit!
I appreciate you explaining your thought process for exploring your build. Which was really good! This was an awesome, fun game.
You could've put trapdoors instead of signs behind the painting. That makes it harder to go through the painting, especially if you put the two trapdoors on opposite sides.
Skizz is genuinely one of my favorite like life series/hermitcraft person?? Like that group of people if you get me. He's one of the sweetest, most genuine, he's relatable, and even though he's not the best builder he's so freaking underrated for no reason
Great build and good complexity Skizz. Went and watched all 5 videos. Love all the hup’s.
Love to see you build so much cool stuff and collab with everyone!
(also 18:55 United States of Whatever is such a silly song)

We’re here to support ya, Skizz. So happy to see you taking off and being more involved with the Minecraft community.
This is such fun! I love how each of you really made your builds reflect your personalities. In your case: all the trolling, and it worked so well!
18:55 Love me some Liam Lynch😂 Great video, loved seeing the build process
"Because it's MY United States of Whatever!!!"
You really do have that song on the brain... For the last several months. Lol
Great job Skizz, you were robbed!!!!
I love the music you used while building the castle, it's very medival sounding.
this build is so good!! seriously, theres so many little details, and its so fun to see you include your friends even if they arent present for the video lol thats horrid luck for the hiding places though, they must have been sniffing for ya!
OMG. I have just seen the intro and burst out laughing. I was eating my lunch btw, now I have a mess to clean up! Thanks Skizz, you are my favourite MC youtuber, even before you joined HC. Love you buddeh!
15:22 has to be made into a horn
Congrats on making it to full time, Skizz! Hope to see you in lots more events like these
Skizz you did so good on your build! and I laughed so much at all your jokes and signs during your tour 😄
Lizzie and Joel in the stocks is so funny
I’m very clever 14:07 😊 love ya skizz
I think you did a good job in making your build immersive. Being able to get lost in the build might be a good tactic to help you hide but honestly, I don't feel like that's why you did it.
You're getting farther into your journey to become a better builder. Keep pushing yourself with time constraints, immersion, detailing and it will become more natural and reflexive.
You do really good stuff and I feel like you are starting to become more confident but you get discouraged because it takes you longer than some other builders. Don't get discouraged. You're getting faster as a builder and those individual skills will come as you flex those creative muscles.
The way you build right now if you think about forced perspective and layering detail based on depth and perspective I think your building will be taken to the next level.

Brooo that American accent caught me off guard lol
Dude. You are improving so much with building. And improving our building by proxy. Seeing you push through the learning curve gave me the motivation to do the same. After hours of work and learning, I have something I’m proud of, and it’s thanks to your attitude and dedication to your work❤❤
This was amazing!!!
I loved watching you come up with all the details and tricks to troll them with, I actually shouted at my TV when Impulse and Smajor found you so fast! Like that was an insane build for build and seek! Can't wait to see what you come up with in the next minigame
