Etho's build style has always been so appealing to me, and it shines through even when creating something so unlike what he has done previously.

He did pass one loyalty test: he'll do anything to stay in his fellow boat boy's good graces.

I absolutely loved this episode, the planning and fallout of the octokill was fantastic. I am surprised how few people remembered/knew about King of the Ladder, though I guess it worked in Ethos favor.

It is really satisfying to see Etho in his element like this, with everyone going to him for help. I love how everyone donated redstone despite him not having any use for it. That reveal at the end that Bdubs took Skizz's diamonds cracked me up, too.

I'm a little concerned the charm of this series' gimmick will be lost over time, depending on the pace they update versions.

I love these episodes where Etho just experiments with a new feature. It's too bad not many of his ideas worked out, I feel like Minecraft's current handling of mob mounting is counteractive to what the game encourages, especially in this latest update.

I never cared for armor trims and didn't get how some people would get attached to one design over another, but Etho finding that smiley face with a headband pattern finally made me understand.
