Thanks for the positive response to this video, gang! I was very anxious about making my own videos again, and it's nice to know that the community has my back! ~Sloy
I absolutely loved this! It was really fun to watch you having fun talking about something that you (and also I) really enjoy :)
This was a great video! I was very confused because I had no idea what they did on the Empires SMP but this cleared it up perfectly! Thanks
I loved the opening. The manic enthusiasm when you said, "Hey you wanna talk about Empires‽" I think I've watched it about five times now.
I blame the connective hole that gave you the excuse on SCP-4335
....False is attempting to TARDIS, isn't she?
Zloy sneakily covering Empires while Pixelriffs covers hermitcraft, genius. Now we just need someone to cover an SMP that Zloy is on
Truly bedrock
then who would cover it?
@@SMPandanic grian, he has the experience
@@killianobrien2007 with good audio mixing
Lyarrah could
I can't believe they committed to the bit of swapping to the point where Pixlriffs and Sloy switched roles for making this episode
Actually I just really wanted to make this video myself, even though it made perfect sense for Pix, since he's more familiar with the material
I've wanted to get into watching Empires since s1 came out, but I never had the time, and this was a great way to break it open ~Sloy
@@TheHermitcraftRecap I kind of wish it was grian to be honest
@@MCD10000 THIS WEEK ON EMPIRES
Sloy makes pretty much all of the (few) "off-schedule" videos.
@@TheRealWormbo I make ALL videos here, I just dont voice them ~Sloy
"I personally get to write off watching 40 hours of minecraft lets plays as research"
absolutely dying at this line lmao
"Some have resources, some have subjects, and some ARE subject to humiliation" 10/10
Especially it was on Timmy's part too
03:58, "They also call him Jimmy, Timmy.. and I personally prefer to call him a class traitor." Wonderful, just wonderful. That was exactly not what I anticipated to hear.
Is there contest to calling him that?
@@riaingalligan8461 it's a joke about him being a cop
I like Gem's approach to the 'being a part of both servers' dilemma alot. It's a very chill and stressless way of putting it, requiring basically no roleplaying, just being herself with no risk of messing the narrative up
It merely comes at the expense of her Hermit friends finding out she does LARPing. :D
And her saying her character from hermitcraft & empires s2 is not a person, but is a "being"
@@TheRealWormbo And we all know that that wouldn't be an issue for the Hermits, but you can do some great impromptu role play for that.
"Two Falses don't make a right". But, they might force a writer to make a correction. 🤣😂🤣
dmn ... thts absolutely *right* ;))
Oli's video delaying this video is a mood. I think everyone needed some time to recover after watching it. So much happening all at once
re-evaluating your life after watching an orionsound video is just part of the experience
Ikr he doesn't post much but when he does its like ur on drugs 🤣
Gem, casually being a Fey and hopping realities... seems legit
....Some fey beings, who I won't name due to not having any idea who they are in any more detail, resemble that remark.
For me it was an absolute blast seeing Pixlriffs interact with the Hermitcraft members. Also great move into getting more attention to the Empire SMP
Especially the "this week on empires" prank
I wonder if/ when we will see more empires members join Hermitcraft.
Pearl and Gem joined HC after Empires S1 and with this Collaboration and the third life series the server members have plenty of interactions with each other.
(Or more hermits crossing over to empires. They have already started to incorporate slightly more roleplaying intor their videos too in the past few years)
"Some of them, the subject of public humiliation..." Yup! Pretty much sums up Jimmy's role on any SMP. 😂
Been watching both and both servers are really great! Happy that you guys made something to help others who only watch Hermitcraft get acquainted with Empires!
Sloy took that Reddit comment about "Pixlriffs recap" to heart lol
ahahahahahah NGL, a little ~Sloy
@@TheHermitcraftRecap I love how translating to English only adds an extra A.
Katherine humming her own transformation theme music is amazing 🤣
Sloy lends chaotic energy to the presentation.
Yea definitely
Which is good when the server is already so complicated
I love Sloy’s enthusiasm. He’s also genuinely good at summarizing and recapping
I love how Pixelriffs is listed as exporting lore.
0:45
I absolutely love the art for Sloy!
Especially with the little ❛ ᴗ ❛ faces.
1:35 oli should make a music disc farm along with getting disc 5 so he has a physical export he can also sell note blocks and juxe boxes
I love how Oli's export is "Music?"
Sloy! How nice to hear your voice on this channel again. Always get excited when I see a new extra recap vid is out even more happy hearing it with your voice.
Thank God for this video. I'm new to empires and watching everyone stick to their lore has made it difficult for me to like piece together the realistic nature of the community. This really fills in a lot of gaps that I didn't understand.
Now I can go back to enjoying the make-believe 🙂
Imagine Mumbo comes back to hermitcraft and just finds out he's the only one left on the server
Not all hermits visited Empires. Etho, Hypno (is he still active?), Iskall, Rendog, Stress, Vintage Beef, Welsknight (is he still active?), XBCrafted and Zedaph stayed on Hermitcraft.
it's all part of Grumbot's plan: Mumbo 4 Mayor
I'm thinking they sent 13 Hermits to match the existing 13 Empires players.
Not to mention that it would mean he is literally the richest hermit on the server until the others come back
@@OrigamiMarie but bdubs just hopped through so it's now 14 hermits vs 13 empirists
Love the funny bits you involved into this, with all the zloy character stuff and the descriptions of the empires and everything.
"Lizzie is pretending to be Lizzie the Cat pretending to be Lizzie the human!"😂
thanks Zloy! Also that's hilarious you have Pixelriff's audio on your phone.
12:25 "It all happened when Grian touched my redstone" moment
Can't wait for there to be Sloy doing Empires Recap while Pixel does Hermitcraft Recap
I like the emphasis put on the fact that the funky looking npcs and items are all still vanilla and not modded. that was something that was hard for me to wrap my head around at first, so I'm glad you made it really clear that it's all just retextured vanilla things.
9:40 I absolutely lost it at Sloy's note about Olly's video. I mean, that's pretty much the correct reaction to any Olly video, to be fair 😂
"i just have an app on my phone that makes him say that" 😂😂
why am i not surprised^^
I’m an Empires fan, but watching anyway XD
FACT CHECK ME! ~Sloy
@@TheHermitcraftRecap I think you did amazing on recapping empires SMP for those who didn't know what it was. You got down the basics and thats all that is needed.
@@TheHermitcraftRecap Not sure when you wrote the video. But BDubs is now on the server. So 14 hermits now.
*sends this to all my friends who have to put up with me talking about it 24/7*
Can the next sneaky midweek episode tell us about previous seasons of Empires, to explain Pearl's past and stuff like that?
Pearl's past (without spoiling) - the list including:
- pearlescentmoon empires smp S1 lore
- mythical sausage empires smp S1 and S2 lore + his afterlife smp lore
- the orion sound afterlife smp lore + his empires smp S2 lore
so if they are really doing another midweek episode that includes explanation for pearl's past they would need to watch both the entire empires smp S1 and some of the afterlife smp perspectives. That will take well over 40 hours of research and we can't expect to see the episode anytime soon (if they actually make it) since there is just too much lore!
(sorry for blabbering and thank you for reading this somewhat lengthy comment)
"Two Falses don't necessarily make a right" made me laugh so fucking much!
Just a theory (I think?), BUT:
So, we know that the Rift sends messages from Hermitcraft to Empires just fine, but completely scrambles the messages (and LIVING BEINGS APPARENTLY) coming *from Empires* to Hermitcraft, so the Hermits might have come through to Empires in one piece, coming back however... *might* be a bit more complicated?
I wonder what will happen to them when they manage to return home...
Also, apparently the Hermits are a species now.
Also was it me but at the end of Grian video, a layer of purple stained glass disappeared from the portal
hmmm i didnt think abt that...
@@floral_calamity also continuing theory: what if they can go to different Smps for certain amount of times. So they just went to empires that’s one, and I’m thinking they will go to the dream smp next(because of LORE) so that’s two and what if some people don’t come back
Yea the theories are crazy
@@nayr711_ yeah and when they go to dream smp, all they're hearing are strange blip language they don't understand and would just gtfo lol
@@nayr711_ that would be so funny if they went into dsmp lmao all those PG ytubers and all the PG13 ytubers
I regret not watching Empires season 1 when it originally started. I only decided to give it a try once the season has just ended. I binged Gem's playlist, then Fwhip's, then Sausage's. And boy, have I missed out on stuff! Fortunately, this time I'm watching season 2 as it goes on.
The transitions from one empire to another are sooo smooth! I'm truly in awe
Omg Zloy i havent heard you since 2015! I used to lurk in your channel, loved "Zloy vs minecraft", in your art streams i commisioned a sketch and remember the gravity falls building videos QwQ im so proud of your growth!
WOW You should look up "zloyxp" on RUclips, i havent stopped making videos since, i just moved to the english channel!!
@@TheHermitcraftRecap omg i definitly will!!!! I kinda missed you! And i just recently discovered hermitcraft and stuff for myself as well!
Did u know that Bdubs is now the patron saint of Gem's religion?
Shelby is a which, but don’t have the deploma to prove it
And Joel DOES have a god deploma?!
They make you go to school to become a witch, but not a god? Makes sense.
0:22 "then theres empires SMP" goddamn the shade thrown is unreal
“Sanctuary is cursed by mythical sausage” i literally let out the loudest cackle
So honestly I haven't been watching any hermitcraft videos because the EmpireSMP crossover has been way too much for me at once and I couldn't follow any of it. This recap was so helpful in understanding the new people and how their server is run, I feel like I can actually go back and watch the hermits videos I've been missing out on. Thanks Sloy!
What if when the Hermits return back they will also be scrambled so parts of their skins will get mashed together? It could lead into many machines trying to get them back to normal just like how they tried getting their colours back in Season 6 after Demise.
Love how excited Zloy is about doing this episode/recap.
I appreciate this overview. Roleplaying to this degree really isn't my speed, but its cool for folks who enjoy it! It's good insight while our fave Hermits are visiting
Most of the time it’s very much like a tabletop role-playing session in that they stay in character just as much as fun - you might be surprised by its similarities to HC.
Tbf, some of the cast doesn't really go that hard at roleplaying as this video makes it seem. Smallishbeans especially does it in a way where he's actively mocking it the entire time, and he's got a very similar vibe to Grian, since they're quite close friends. In S1 he rejected the roleplaying aspect to focus on his building, to the point where he didn't know the name of the demon that the whole SMP had been fighting for like ten episodes. In S2, he went all in with the lore, except it's just him stating he's 11 feet tall over and over again. His videos can be really intense and aggressive though. Watch like, ep 1-4 of his Season 2 series, and you'll know if you're into it or not. He's honestly an amazing builder though, like if you don't care for Empires, watch his building a desert city in 24 hours, it's fantastic. As a HC and Empires watcher, he's definitely one of the most hard-working people in the MCYT scene right now.
Here's a potential lore crafting ... In order for HC gang to return to HC server. Ethos must reignite the rift on the HC side to bring back the HC group.
Another plot bunny: In doing so, an accident have occurred and some of HC member get scatter in the vast multiverse.
"This is the regular Minecraft you know and love just with a little more creativity from the people playing it." - harsh but fair 😢
1:26 I like how in a pinch the entire universe can align together to throw fun tomatoes at Tim :))
"Two Falses don't necessarily make a right."
*groan*
It should have been 2 Falses don't necessarily make a true
5:17 "huh. Is that why I woke up naked that one time?" That cracked me up because you said it! XD we were all thinking it but you WENT AND SAID IT XDD
I've watched all of S8 and S9 of Hermitcraft, all of the *Life series, and most of Empires and this video is literally the first time I learned what "SMP" stands for.
“And some, are themselves, the subject of public humiliation” you did NOT have to do Jimmy in like that 😭
I wasn't watching Empires, so it was neat to see all the things they did to the Rift before the hermits arrived.
If you haven't watched Empires season 1, go back and binge it for a great story and countless laughs. Then you'll be in on all the allusions back to the original season happening in the season 2 lore, especially from Mythical Sausage.
And don't forget Lizzie's musical after you've finished season 1
Who’s POV should I watch?
@@louise6258 I'd say most of them for a more full story
@@louise6258 all of them, really.
this video is absolutely great, i laughed so hard i almost cried at “they also call him jimmy, timmy, and i personally prefer to call him a class traitor”. sloy you are both extremely hilarious and extremely based
This was so helpful, I did not know about Empires until this crossover, but I'm excited to see more! Thank you for this explanation!
excellent video zloy! the i love that the toy will just be dunked on whereever he is. the class traitor line made me cackle.
" Some of them have industry, some of them have subjects, and some THEMSELF ARE the subject of public humiliation" proceeds to show clips of timmy the toy- very noice humor zloy
Zloy sounds like they are having the time of their lives with this and I’m here for it
Zloy thanks for doing this it's amazing so many good jokes
• Empires
"extensive groups of states or countries ruled over by single monarchs, oligarches or sovereign states."
Wow this video could have been way shorter!! ~Sloy
@@TheHermitcraftRecap ikr xd
Very cool recap! You've introduced me to some more Empires I have to watch now! Can't believe Bdoubs is also on there now :P
I like how you explained the texture pack when this channel deals with Hermitcraft on a daily basis. (Elven kiss, Impulse's beard, etc.)
i love how one of pix's export is LORE
It's always a treat when Sloy narrates!
Nice summery, hopefully it will give some clarity for those who hasn't followed empires smp before the crossover. 😀
Voice & CC: "SMP stands for Sovereign, Monarch, Players"
Text on-screen: "SMP stands for Survival Multi Player"
I just love this man's light-hearted comedy.
"They also call him Jimmy, Timmy.. and I personally prefer to call him a class traitor." LMAO
I mean no offense at all to Pixl, but this might be my favorite video ever on this channel. Awesome job Zloy!
You do realize zloy writes what Pix says right? Considering he says it every episode (Pix I mean)
What I want to know is specifically how do they do the different cosmetic changes? I’m looking into doing something similar but I can’t quite figure out how to implement it. Especially in a way where you don’t have to see the same name over the top of every mob that uses the same custom texture.
Thank you so much for this recap! It helps understand a lot of what's going on, as I only subscribe to Gem and Fwhip...
In Season 1, didn't Gem have an on-screen notice of when she was acting and roleplaying? That helped me understand so much better than now
'two falses don't necessarily make a right' thats a like and a love from me, thank you SO much zloy! i come back to this every few months bc its so good, i hope to hear your voice more on this channel!
You might enjoy this week's recap ~Sloy
Grumbot sent brave explorers into the rift to find out what was going on and return.
Or, Grumbot got rid of most of the resistance on the server so that if Mumbo comes back he can become mayor with no resistance.
“The instrument he played…was a lute.”
5:15 coming back a month later to this is funny. xD
*Virgin False:* doesn't really tackle "being a part of both servers"
*Chad Gem:* "Eh, I'm just LARPing here."
Thank you very much for making this! This will make understanding the crossover MUCH easier!
Zloy, your English is getting better and better! Bravo 👏
Welcome to the Empires Recap!
I really want there to now be mid-week episodes of Empires Recap by Sloy, but Since he's also one of the main workers on the regular Hermitcraft recap, we'll probably never see that happen
I know this is not relevant at all but Zloy’s voice is so, so relaxing
Skeletron is litteraly a Terraria refrence (for those who don't know, its a big flying skull with two flying hands. He guards a skeletondungeon)
Absolutely love Zloy narrating this! Such an exciting time in the servers!
1:33 lol i love how even Sloy and his buddies are confused as to what Oli really does..... just captures him even more lol
Absolutely love every episode of the recap, but especially the non-standard specials )
to be honest, Season 2 of Empires is very great.. but for me (My Opinions) I think it cannot replace the love I had for the first season.. the first Season had a very great storyline where each characters had their own spark in the ENTIRE Series, they all had a very big part to play on the Server and the Story keeps getting better each episodes, I feel like Empires was made brilliantly, because I had to watch EACH Character's perspective to understand the story and lore more, even though it was a lot of time.. I still enjoyed each minute of the Empires SMP Videos.. - even until now I still intend to rewatch it
13 went through and the rift shut down… except that (at a minimum) BDubs has since shown up so it’s clearly not the most secure
Actually According to Gems steam he went in and he was stuck in it for a bit
I would just imagine that Grian will cause a war with every empire if he screws something up.
Sloy I love your voice and your little animated character omg so cute
Hey the voice at 10:58 sounds soothing and relaxing. It can be a voice overlapping gameplay of others in another series
Thank you for making this.
It would be really funny if someone from Hermitcraft made documentary videos for Empires, like the opposite of Pixelriffs.
Finally, answers! I've been looking for someone to just explain what's happening and what Empires is and what jokes are already going. :)
0:57 the SotN Dracula joke is exactly what I get for listening to Dance of Illusions on repeat last night.
Thank you for this, I have to admit I need the recap to keep up as I have a messed up work schedule.
3:15 Basically the same tech as on Hermitcraft where they make custom hats
"some are the subject of public humiliation" the roasts be rolling in
Can you guys do a recap season 1 of empires cause season 1 stuff come into play in season 2 cause Lizzie is theorized to be a decent of the season 1 tiger blood prince, sausage has had flashbacks to season 1 cause there's only an 1000 year's difference lore wise
Anything you need recapped from Season 1 will either
- be explained by the people referencing it in Season 2
- or be covered by existing fan videos.
Alternatively, you can watch LDShadowlady's "Empires S1 Musical" which pretty much covers it
@@Pixlriffs I ment for like people who like have never watched empires before I've watched empires season 1 already when it first started but also do you know katherine elizabeth because I'm a fan of her videos so if you have I'll die because you've met Kathrine elizabeth and have replied to my comment
Well done zloy 👏👏👏
