38:56 "Wait a minute... WE'RE Edgar! We're in the hole!" *everyone tries punching each other* It does suck that Ray didn't win, but that ending was Epic and this way someone new is king. This has got to be one one my favourite episodes, Mad King Ryan is excellent!
the "kill Gavin" challenge would have been more psychological or at least fearsome for them if the penalty for killing the wrong one was losing a piece of the tower xD
could've been super simple. Rule 1, if you kill Gavin, you win. Rule 2, if you kill anyone who is not Gavin, you lose. Rule 3, if Gavin survives, Gavin wins. Go.
I would just like to thank the people who, even though i posted this 4 months ago, are still 1+'ing this comment. Did not think i would still be getting updates about it.
Ryan is truly the mad king. All the challenges that he tortured the others with only to give them that final challenge. I won't spoil what it was, but this lets play got my favourite and only two others where able to make that, and all of them are really good, this stood out!
Michael's "We're Edgar" gives me an idea for a great twist. Ryan floods the hole with lava and kills them all. Therefore, he has killed Edgar. Therefore, he wins. Long live the Once and Future Mad King.
He made a giant redstone contraption (Russian Roulette), he actually made the players alter themselves for a challenge (Kill Gavin), and he made the first boss battle of the King series. Tasks that were a step above basic, and just malevolent genius. Forgive me for fangirling too much, but I felt like Mad King Ryan was an entire game within itself as opposed to just some stuff in Minecraft.
MasterMerc13 No arguments here, my friend. I think haters might be seeing Kerry in a different light now, as well. That Ryan had his own second in command really added to the vibe. When Kerry did the count down to Ryan's hunt for the players, one thought ran through my head when the counter reached zero. "The Mad King has truly returned. Glorious."
I'm happy that he made that Kill Edgar task (and the giant freaking maze!). Even though every other task was pointless when it came to the final one, it just goes to show that he really is the Mad King. He makes the rules, and he can do whatever the fuck he wants. XD
I feel like Ryan should do make his own Minecraft Let's Play idea where he doesn't have to use King's rules and sets up a story-driven Let's Play. He seems to have a knack for story-based game design, and considering the time he put into this one, must be fond of doing so. Seeing something so put together as opposed to the usual Let's Plays was a really nice surprise, and I hope to see it again soon -cough- Episode 100 -cough-
This episode truly showed us what experiments Ryan has performed on Edgar. Within the Kung Fu house, Ryan was experimenting on Edgar's brain, trying to turn him into a minion, in hopes of making himself a monster... that would finally let him take over Achievement city from Geoff's fair rule. For months he has worked tirelessly, brainwashing Edgar into forgetting his peaceful and simple life as a cow, and making him into a ruthless killer. Ryan, through cruel and mysterious methods, taught Edgar how to fight with a sword and armor, and made him into a hunter, and created a mythology inspired lair for him, hidden beneath the Edgar pit. And now, with this final king-task, he hoped to finally kill all who opposed his rule, and to permanently make himself "The Mad King" of Achievement city, by throwing them into his maze of death, stalked by his newly transformed monster: EDGAR Can an unlikely hero survive the trap, and bring down the Mad King once and for all? That and more on: Let's Play Minecraft Episode 90, Mad King Ryan, part 2!!!
Gavin's victory at the end was pretty clutch. A few seconds later and "Edgar" might have healed up and been that much harder to take down. I'm excited to see King Gavin even though I already know it won't be as...... different... as Ryan's.
The tale of the entity dubbed "Edgar" is as sinister as it is open-ended; I recognize that my interpretation of this video's events won't likely satisfy everyone, especially those who wish to preserve the legend. As far as I'm concerned, the tournament (its final phase, anyway) was engineered via Edgar's influence on Ryan or vice versa---the exact nature of their relationship is, of course, unknown to the public. I posit that it was a test to determine either the extent of Edgar's capabilities or Ryan's willingness to protect "him", depending on which of the two conceived it. Whatever circumstances provoked this reciprocal challenge are beyond my comprehension, but the results seem clear enough: Edgar was indeed killed in that maze beneath Achievement City. As Gavin hacked the bovine avatar to pieces, the limits of both Edgar's endurance and Ryan's devotion were realized. While I can't say whether Ryan anticipated this outcome, I have little doubt that the slain creature was an authentic incarnation of Edgar. The mass animal sacrifice (in preparation for an occult ritual), the corruption of an eager young subordinate (for use as a personification of Edgar's will), the sudden presence of cows in the tunnels (as a symbolic herald of his demise)... Coupled with an environment that looks too complete---and inspires too much dread---to be a hoax, these facts (supported by the inferences I've drawn from them) lead me to believe that this was the end of Edgar as Ryan knew him. It came about with no crescendo, no striking effect, no spectacular finale to an existence most of us can only puzzle over---just the raucous cries of the champion and his fellows as the carcass crumpled unceremoniously to the ground. Definitive answers might surface someday and thoroughly debunk me, if the Mad King's cold heart ever again chills the throne. Until that time, however, we can only speculate about the ambiguities scattered throughout these records. As I sit here and do so, my thoughts inexorably cycle back to a single question, which is perhaps the most disturbing mystery left for us in the aftermath of this grim, yet oh-so-fascinating story: Was Edgar the _source_ or the _result_ of Ryan's depravity?
+SteadyNeurosion Edgar is an evil spirit that possesses anything that is in the hole. Ryan is the guard of the hole as stated from Ryan, that Edgar is in the hole to protect the Achievement hunter guys.
The last challenge in this video strongly reminded me of the end of Manhunt and the Piggsy fight. I'd expect nothing less with Ryan setting up the episode.
Lots of SPOILERS, but you shouldn't be reading comments if you haven't watched the video. Well, even though I've always wanted Gavin to be king, there is no way he, or anybody could possibly beat the madness and genius of King Ryan. Wasn't sure what to make of Ryan when I first saw him, but he has easily become one of the most entertaining of the AH Crew. And fucking brilliant for using Edgar as the boss.
It's amazing how the boss battle was made, the color pattern leading to Edgar's layer. I'm still so amazed. Gavin won it fair and square, he was king and king is making the rules in the let's play
"Breaking news from Austin Texas: 6 bodies and the mutilated carcass of a cow found in the basement of Ryan Haywood." I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that on the news tomorrow.
It all makes sense... In King Ray, Ryan had began work on his labyrinth. And Ryan would always say "Fear Edgar"... What other conspiracies does he have planned? ... *ಠ_ಠ*
Jakob Cook The words "too much free time" spring to mind having seen everything Ryan prepared for this Let's Play. Honestly though, one of my favourite videos in a while, hoping to see another King Ryan in the future.
Just had a brilliant idea for a Thing's to do/Let's Play based on what Gavin did at 32:46. Create a sort of maze/labyrinth in the dark, fill it with zombies or dispensers filled with zombie eggs, have everyone wear zombie skins with the names turned off (everyone sets their spawn points in different, zombie safe, areas) and then challenge the players to find the other players and kill them. Kind of a deadly game of 1st Person Where's Waldo I guess. Probably better ways to refine the idea.
I want The Mad King in X-Ray & Vav to recruit Dragon face to his side and the turn him into a cow mutant with the left over milk from Mogar's mom and then him have a moment when X-Ray & Vav As "Dragonface what happened to you" "I'm not Dragonface...I"M EDGAR!"
Wait what? The Minotaur was born when King Minos failed to sacrifice a prized bull to the God Poseidon, so Poseidon cursed Minos' wife, Pasiphae, to fall madly in love with the bull. She in turn approaches Daedelus to construct an artificial cow she can hide in so the Bull will mount her. Bestiality ensues, out pops the minotaur and Minos has Daedelus construct the Labyrinth to hide him away.
wow, Ryan was an awesome king, most people weren’t so enthusiastic to his first plans, probably because they were tiered but still King Ryan has been the best so far
8:26 Ray-"Geoff please I'm just trying to find a safe way down. NOT THAT WAY NOT THAT WAY...ah shit" 8:31Geoff- "Did that help :}" 8:32 Ray- "uh don't go down that way :P" lol
What is a mob to a king? What is a king to a god? What is a god to a nonbeliever who doesn't believe in anything? "We never really escaped the madness - it simply wears a different face, now."
I was half expecting the "Kill Edgar" decree was just an excuse to get everyone in the hole and then remind them that "Edgar is the one in the hole" and have it turn into another death match.
King Names, Geoff, The First King Ray, The Kush King Ryan, The Mad King Jack, The Lord of Tacos Gavin, The Spaffy King ... and Kerry, Queerian Lanister
Secretly, Mad King Ryan has been training Edgar since the day he caught him, turning him into the cow he is today. All his hard work, training him in the bowels of Achievement City, feeding him his own brothers and sisters, all for this, to be used as a guardian of Ryan's Labyrinth. And thus, Edgar will be there, training his fellow Edgar's, so that one day the Mad King will once again rule over the lands as the one true king.
Who knew that the Guardian of Ryan's Labyrinth which is the holy Edgar would be killed and can ONLY be killed by one hero.... Gavin!... Wait, this must be a mistake.
This was the best King Lets Play so far, Ryan has definitely earned his title as the Mad King. I dont think it will be as awesome as this, but I am so looking forward to King Gavin, he is a genius in his own special way and I can see him coming up with some very interesting challenges.
He slew a mad beast, imprisoned for an age within a small cell, fed only the flesh of his flesh, tasting the freedom of death only to find itself reborn into madness time and again. In his madness, the Mad King fashioned for himself a vessel that he may live forever by ancient trans-spiritation rituals. The vessel, "Edgar" he came to call it, had finally become ready to host such a powerful madness and needed only the blood sacrifice of the Mad King's eternal opponents. In celebration, a festival of destruction and death was held that left the very center of the Kingdom in ruins, a testament to the Mad King's vision of a new future. Once again had a champion attained the sacred Tower, the rite culminating in a new order repeated so often to hold the world in stability. So boldly did the Mad King dare to profane the most hallowed tradition by casting down the holy relic and declaring himself King forevermore. Depending on their unrest, the Mad King pronounced a new tradition. A single contest to determine the true successor. The champions marched with purpose into the labyrinth, unsuspecting of what they may find. One by one did the Mad Beast slaughter and feast upon the blood of Kings until but one remained. The Mad King watched with a smirk in his heart as only the Fool was left. With this last sacrifice, the Mad King's soul would be forever bound to the accursed, undying Beast. But something went terribly wrong. The Fool had found the Beast unawares, stumbling into the horrid monster's backside with a sword of diamond. The Beast bled heavily and as it lay upon the cold bedrock, slipping once again into that deathless slumber, it looked up into the face of the Fool who had slain him. A giddy, foolish smile crept across the Fool's face as he laughed in victory. In that glance, the Beast saw hope for the true freedom it had so long yearned for. The ritual was still in effect, the blood of the myriad champions still welled within and screamed for freedom as well. The Beast hoisted itself to a knee, held it's head toward the sky it could no longer remember and let out a deep, bleating laugh. The fire of torment spilled from it's mouth as the raw power of a thousand dead kings welled up within. With a knowing smile, the Beast exploded loosing the vengeful energy that the Mad King would keep as his own upon the man himself. A great fire overtook the King's body, burning it away into nothingness, severing at last the bond between Man and Monster. From the ash, the Crown of the Kingdom was plucked by the hands of a Fool. And as it was set upon his brow, the Fool saw the Kingdom reborn once more and the cycle would continue... made by mistercrimson via reddit; i have no claim that i made this
I want to see a let's build of that Russian Roulette thing. I first thought it was stupid they were reusing the king let's play again, but holy crap this was amazing. Ryan has earned the title of Mad King.
I really hope they do more king videos like this, I love how Ryan planned everything out in advance and even created stages for them. You guys could also get a lot of "things to do" videos out of this.
Titanscj2k You've misunderstood this person's comment. They stated "I really hope they do more king videos LIKE THIS". This King video is much different than the others, hence the comment.
From now on, Ryan designs the Let's Plays. The sheer amount of planning and awesomeness in this Let's Play boggles my mind. The Mad King has taken things to a whole new level...
I swear when they were all trapped in Edgar's hole for a second I thought that Ryan was just gonna lava them all to death, and the last one to die would win the whole thing.
The ScumLord They're not going to do that o,o they want to remember all their lets plays and lets builds, not destroy them with these king episodes o,o that's why that only saved the game when they built the throne and none of the king lets plays o,o why would you want to destroy something you worked so hard on? i'm sure they have worked well over 100 hours in building all of these lets plays. and i'm also sure they didn't do that just for them to be destroyed.
38:56 "Wait a minute... WE'RE Edgar! We're in the hole!" *everyone tries punching each other*
It does suck that Ray didn't win, but that ending was Epic and this way someone new is king. This has got to be one one my favourite episodes, Mad King Ryan is excellent!
lol i just love how psychologically broken everyone was by the end of the game xD Michael was so into it
the "kill Gavin" challenge would have been more psychological or at least fearsome for them if the penalty for killing the wrong one was losing a piece of the tower xD
I really love that idea. I think something else smart would be if they each only got one kill
If he had said "Kill Gavin to get a block, but kill anyone else and Gavin gets a block/you lose a block" it would have been more psychological.
Or "kill Gavin, but you only get one guess on who Gavin is."
Thomas Keller lets be real....they wouldn't understand the rules
It's Achievement Hunter, no one's going to work together here when it comes to killing Gavin, or cloning him.
No that's stupid.
could've been super simple. Rule 1, if you kill Gavin, you win. Rule 2, if you kill anyone who is not Gavin, you lose. Rule 3, if Gavin survives, Gavin wins. Go.

ryan is THE best king ever. this was THE best king lets play ever as well.
Geoff: Do we need full health?
Ryan: (in a maliciously pleasant voice) It won't matter for long.
The Mad King is the greatest. :)
This aged poorly.
Aged fine

Ryan has the best tasks. He seems to be the one that puts effort and theme into them.
He did spend an entire week on this, mate. =P

Can an unlikely hero survive the trap, and bring down the Mad King once and for all?
That and more on: Let's Play Minecraft Episode 90, Mad King Ryan, part 2!!!
Holy crap dude that is an excellent synopsis
Or ya know, he might've told Kerry to wear a cow skin and go nuts.
Primeox Oh yea right, what are the odds of THAT happening?!
XD
The obvious truth is, WereEdgar. Kerry got bit, Kerry got turned. By nightfall and full moon, he became the beast
Gavin's victory at the end was pretty clutch. A few seconds later and "Edgar" might have healed up and been that much harder to take down. I'm excited to see King Gavin even though I already know it won't be as...... different... as Ryan's.

He's also Queerian Lannister, apparently. Will he try to correct Gavin's moral compass, early on?

I thought nothing could beat the Russian roulette challenge.
But then I saw the final challenge. Holy christ, that is genius. Kerry the Minotaur.

Or the story of he Minotaur
... NO SPOILERS...
BEST 'King' episode.LONG live mad King Ryan
(but im happy with the winner. Will be an interesting episode)
mad king ryan is the best
The bed rock challenge was retarded though. Should have been thought out better
Gavin deserves it made the 200 iq play of turning up the brightness
Lots of SPOILERS, but you shouldn't be reading comments if you haven't watched the video.

Wasn't sure what to make of Ryan when I first saw him, but he has easily become one of the most entertaining of the AH Crew. And fucking brilliant for using Edgar as the boss.
This has easily been the best King Let's Play, and probably one of their best period. Ryan, you are a mad genius!
Nice rebel alliance logo
when he won I actually cheered so loud. that was the most tense end battle EVER
It's amazing how the boss battle was made, the color pattern leading to Edgar's layer. I'm still so amazed. Gavin won it fair and square, he was king and king is making the rules in the let's play
Ryan is the most creative person at Achievement Hunter. Gavin and Goeff should consult him more often for let's play and things to do ideas.
And to think, a portion of the community hated him before Edgar came about. This Let's Play should sway those who still think little of him.
Couldn't agree more, he made the best king by far xD
I uh.. I don't think this is gonna be an option anymore
"Breaking news from Austin Texas: 6 bodies and the mutilated carcass of a cow found in the basement of Ryan Haywood." I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that on the news tomorrow.
All the preparation that took paid off amazingly.
Ryan has been the best king so far
It all makes sense...
In King Ray, Ryan had began work on his labyrinth.
And Ryan would always say "Fear Edgar"...
What other conspiracies does he have planned?

Dayum. As of now, no one is more creative as king than Ryan is.
the word you're looking for is 'convoluted'.

for now

Oof
Ryan has some excellent ideas as King. I hope that some of his brilliance seeps into the other Let's Plays.
The roulette part was amazing. I'm always so amazed at how creative these guys are.
Just had a brilliant idea for a Thing's to do/Let's Play based on what Gavin did at 32:46. Create a sort of maze/labyrinth in the dark, fill it with zombies or dispensers filled with zombie eggs, have everyone wear zombie skins with the names turned off (everyone sets their spawn points in different, zombie safe, areas) and then challenge the players to find the other players and kill them.

I want The Mad King in X-Ray & Vav to recruit Dragon face to his side and the turn him into a cow mutant with the left over milk from Mogar's mom and then him have a moment when X-Ray & Vav As "Dragonface what happened to you"
"I'm not Dragonface...I"M EDGAR!"
That would be hilarious. XD
And i just got the reference. I feel stupid.
Rays Shrek joke with the layers was the funniest thing I think he has ever said
I love at how the end was the story of King Minos and the Minotaur. With Ryan being King Minos, Kerry being the Minotaur and Gavin being Theseus.
Oh shit you're right.
Knowing Ryan, it probably was on purpose
Wait what? The Minotaur was born when King Minos failed to sacrifice a prized bull to the God Poseidon, so Poseidon cursed Minos' wife, Pasiphae, to fall madly in love with the bull. She in turn approaches Daedelus to construct an artificial cow she can hide in so the Bull will mount her.
Bestiality ensues, out pops the minotaur and Minos has Daedelus construct the Labyrinth to hide him away.
Trent8086 I think they were looking at a particular part of the story, i.e near the end not the set up.
... u just know Ryan did that on purpose
"Some May call it bullshit I call it awesome." ~ Gavin Free
Anyone else get the feeling that Ryan got that last challenge straight from the story of the Minotaur?
Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Either way, one hell of a way to end it
Chris Hatchew its the story of EDGAR
Great concept of Ryan using Edgar as the Minotaur!!!
We need more Boss battles like this!
Way to go Ryan for upping the quality of the King series! Very entertaining, I hope the following kings follow his example
wow, Ryan was an awesome king, most people weren’t so enthusiastic to his first plans, probably because they were tiered but still King Ryan has been the best so far
when i say most people, i mean the achievement hunter crew
He really was... Russian Roulette was the smartest idea ever
8:26 Ray-"Geoff please I'm just trying to find a safe way down. NOT THAT WAY NOT THAT WAY...ah shit"
8:31Geoff- "Did that help :}"
8:32 Ray- "uh don't go down that way :P"
lol
The Mad King Ryan with a stroke genius making Kerry a Minotaur in the final maze based challenge. Classicists, eat your hearts out :)
#DantheMan .New game everyone, Wheres Dan? do this every time he posts something on youtube (other than Roosterteeth stuff{Let's Play Counts})
Wow this was the best King Let's Play ever :D Awesome to end it all with a real Dungeon boss battle
MrMaf00
aaand that's why you watch before going to the comments section. Or at least, that's why I do
MrMaf00 It's common sense to not look at comments before watching the video. You spoiled it yourself man.
MrMaf00 it's your own fault for reading the comments below a video before you watch the whole thing dude.
MrMaf00
um... ok this was just a massacre
MrMaf00 why would you read comments before watching the video anyway, it's inevitable that it will spoil it for you
Michaels impression of jack is spot on
What is a mob to a king? What is a king to a god? What is a god to a nonbeliever who doesn't believe in anything?
"We never really escaped the madness - it simply wears a different face, now."
Her pictures are flipping amazing aren't they?
This? Its awesome. mallius.tumblr.com/post/76854235823/we-havent-escaped-the-madness-it-simply-wears
I was half expecting the "Kill Edgar" decree was just an excuse to get everyone in the hole and then remind them that "Edgar is the one in the hole" and have it turn into another death match.
I actually thought the same thing. For a moment. They were all Edgar.
This will go down in history as the best minecraft video, and best lets play ever created.
Ryan is officially the best King!
Also Kerry dressed as a cow in armor was the creepiest thing, I kept jumping everytime he showed up!
I know, it was slightly bizarre... e__e
King Names,
Geoff, The First King
Ray, The Kush King
Ryan, The Mad King
Jack, The Lord of Tacos
Gavin, The Spaffy King
... and Kerry, Queerian Lanister
What about michael
luna tears
Mogar the Ruthless
He already claimed himself as Mogarious Tagarian :)) ( In his King Let's Play )
It's the First King Geoff, the Rose King Ray, the Mad King Ryan, the Good King Michael, and the Jester King Gavin.
Jester ?
Who else can't wait for Ryan to be King again? I want to see the twisted stuff he comes up with next. xD
Secretly, Mad King Ryan has been training Edgar since the day he caught him, turning him into the cow he is today. All his hard work, training him in the bowels of Achievement City, feeding him his own brothers and sisters, all for this, to be used as a guardian of Ryan's Labyrinth.
And thus, Edgar will be there, training his fellow Edgar's, so that one day the Mad King will once again rule over the lands as the one
true
king.
Or Edgar was secretly Karry all along..
Thee Pie Man Or maybe that's what he wants you to think,
Or is that what he wants YOU to think?
Thee Pie Man Or maybe, it's all just one big conspiracy. That Edgar doesn't really exist.
Who knew that the Guardian of Ryan's Labyrinth which is the holy Edgar would be killed and can ONLY be killed by one hero....
Gavin!...
Wait, this must be a mistake.
So... I think we can all agree, Best King Let's Play. EVER. of all time.
absolutely
Ryan sounds like GLAdOS for most of this episode.
He really is Mad King Ryan
You did it... You win ... You win everything
Joe Robinson
Everyone: "Why does Jack get a sword?!"
Ryan: "It won't matter."
This was the best King Lets Play so far, Ryan has definitely earned his title as the Mad King. I dont think it will be as awesome as this, but I am so looking forward to King Gavin, he is a genius in his own special way and I can see him coming up with some very interesting challenges.
Such as who can suck his knob the best?
hehe. Special...
can you image in Gavin would have won the "ruse" round and lost in the maze? The shitstorm would have been amazing.
There would not be enough room in Ryan's email box for all the hate mail.
YES! Finally the reign of King Gavin has begun!
He slew a mad beast, imprisoned for an age within a small cell, fed only the flesh of his flesh, tasting the freedom of death only to find itself reborn into madness time and again. In his madness, the Mad King fashioned for himself a vessel that he may live forever by ancient trans-spiritation rituals. The vessel, "Edgar" he came to call it, had finally become ready to host such a powerful madness and needed only the blood sacrifice of the Mad King's eternal opponents. In celebration, a festival of destruction and death was held that left the very center of the Kingdom in ruins, a testament to the Mad King's vision of a new future.
Once again had a champion attained the sacred Tower, the rite culminating in a new order repeated so often to hold the world in stability. So boldly did the Mad King dare to profane the most hallowed tradition by casting down the holy relic and declaring himself King forevermore. Depending on their unrest, the Mad King pronounced a new tradition. A single contest to determine the true successor.
The champions marched with purpose into the labyrinth, unsuspecting of what they may find. One by one did the Mad Beast slaughter and feast upon the blood of Kings until but one remained. The Mad King watched with a smirk in his heart as only the Fool was left. With this last sacrifice, the Mad King's soul would be forever bound to the accursed, undying Beast. But something went terribly wrong. The Fool had found the Beast unawares, stumbling into the horrid monster's backside with a sword of diamond. The Beast bled heavily and as it lay upon the cold bedrock, slipping once again into that deathless slumber, it looked up into the face of the Fool who had slain him.
A giddy, foolish smile crept across the Fool's face as he laughed in victory. In that glance, the Beast saw hope for the true freedom it had so long yearned for. The ritual was still in effect, the blood of the myriad champions still welled within and screamed for freedom as well. The Beast hoisted itself to a knee, held it's head toward the sky it could no longer remember and let out a deep, bleating laugh. The fire of torment spilled from it's mouth as the raw power of a thousand dead kings welled up within. With a knowing smile, the Beast exploded loosing the vengeful energy that the Mad King would keep as his own upon the man himself. A great fire overtook the King's body, burning it away into nothingness, severing at last the bond between Man and Monster.
From the ash, the Crown of the Kingdom was plucked by the hands of a Fool. And as it was set upon his brow, the Fool saw the Kingdom reborn once more and the cycle would continue...
made by mistercrimson via reddit; i have no claim that i made this
I think I just cried.
Jesus, I know this is a little late, but do you need help?
Ryan is a genius, and officially the creepiest man alive. Such a great LP, good job king Ryan.
This has been the greatest King LP ever.
I want to see a let's build of that Russian Roulette thing. I first thought it was stupid they were reusing the king let's play again, but holy crap this was amazing. Ryan has earned the title of Mad King.
Waiting for the third reign of the mad king
it is simple math they want to wate 19 weeks since king Gavin also it is the day before mad king Ryan happen they all have meanings to them.
Maggie Imperato LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH!!!
Maggie Imperato Please refrain from using the internet if you are only 4 years old. Or at least stop sounding like one.
fuck you sorry for having a lerring dissablity sorry
The dragon has 3 heads!!
I really hope they do more king videos like this, I love how Ryan planned everything out in advance and even created stages for them. You guys could also get a lot of "things to do" videos out of this.
You do know that a tenth of their minecraft lets plays are king ones, right?
Titanscj2k You've misunderstood this person's comment. They stated "I really hope they do more king videos LIKE THIS". This King video is much different than the others, hence the comment.
I get that. It's just he could have worded it in a better way.
Titanscj2k I worded it just fine, perhaps you should just read in a better way.
Well as shown, someone could read it and find a different meaning.
Ryan has truly raised this Lets Play style to new levels, everyone else should follow his lead
I hope Ryan's torture world will always be saved. The kingdom should continue to look totally war torn every time he claims the throne.
"Wait a minute...*WE'RE* EDGAR! *WE'RE IN THE HOLE!!*"
Uh oh, I see another fake tower going into Gavin's Cry Corner he has hidden in his house.
"No, you need to fear Edgar."
I now understand what Ryan meant.
That was everything I hoped it would be.
From now on, Ryan designs the Let's Plays. The sheer amount of planning and awesomeness in this Let's Play boggles my mind. The Mad King has taken things to a whole new level...
God, hands down, best Minecraft Let's Play ever.
No question.
Definitely.
I swear when they were all trapped in Edgar's hole for a second I thought that Ryan was just gonna lava them all to death, and the last one to die would win the whole thing.
this might be the best minecraft letsplay ever made
They should keep this world to use for the King LP's so it eventually is just gone because of the challenges.
The ScumLord
They're not going to do that o,o they want to remember all their lets plays and lets builds, not destroy them with these king episodes o,o that's why that only saved the game when they built the throne and none of the king lets plays o,o why would you want to destroy something you worked so hard on? i'm sure they have worked well over 100 hours in building all of these lets plays. and i'm also sure they didn't do that just for them to be destroyed.
***** I think he means to save the world in another file, as in AH City2.
***** Actually, they gave Ryan his own copy of achievement city to do with it what he wish so the original and actual achievement city is just fine.
Jordan Hollister a good proof to your theory is that only the host can use something like flying or at least i think
I'm glad Ray won the moral victory, he's the one guy who really doesn't care if he wins or loses. Just as long everyone is having fun :)
