Welcome to the Spunchunks episode number 74 for Wednesday, February 5th, 2020.

My name is Joel Duggan and a happy report

that I am not dead.

But joining me very much alive is my co-host,

Johnny.

You may know him better as Pixel Riffs.

Hello. Hello.

Rumors of Joel's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

And if you want to hear more about quite how ill Joel has been,

along with our thoughts on recent DC and Marvel TV ventures, then you can hear that in the render distance which you can get by subscribing to us on patreon.com slash the spawn chunks

But yeah in your in your convalescence have you had a chance to get into Minecraft yet are you the kind of

person who likes to just kind of chill out and do some stuff in game while you're feeling

You know, what an excellent opportunity to, you know, either get some, I mean, I sometimes work when I'm sick at home because I mean working for my

sitting at a computer for anything I was barely sitting in front of the TV right so I expect you've had some time before that though because you weren't really ill until like you know exactly so so the week between our last show and and getting sick over the weekend, I put in a fair bit of time actually in Skyblock and mostly because it's I mean it's been fun I've been enjoying

exploring the the mechanics of you know early game sort of stuff in Minecraft but also

it's just been very popular I've noticed an uptick in just viewer engagement and all that kind of stuff on

Twitch. I thought, well whatever, you know, like I'm enjoying it, let's lean into it.

You know, it's not like I'm doing it. There's kind of a community trend towards Skyblock right now I've noticed a lot a lot of other of my my kind of peers on YouTube have been starting a series I mean impulse and skiers have been doing their thing pretty much like repeatedly for the last little while but I think Skyblock is one of those
