7 | Two college students, Whitelite (Alex Delfrate) and [=J3ZA=] (Jeremy Hearn), "who like playing games and having a laugh". As of October 11 2010, Two Awesome Gamers (TAG for short) started uploading {{LetsPlay}}s of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and since then have garnered over one-hundred thousands subscribers. Though they are most known for their ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' Skyblock series, TAG has also recorded Crashtastic, VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}}, Surgeon Simulator, Hack/Mine, [=SkyGrid=], a Tekkit series, and a few modification showcases. |

9 | The channel is retired as of now, but their original Skyblock series is still considered a high point in the Minecraft Let's Play community. |

12 | !! On-Hiatus [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]]: |
13 | * Tekkit |
14 | * Crashtastic |
15 | |
16 | !! Finished [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]]: |
17 | * Hack/Mine |
18 | * Several Simulator Games |
19 | ** Surgeon Simulator |
20 | ** VideoGame/EuroTruckSimulator |
21 | ** Farming Simulator |
22 | |
23 | !!TAG (and their videos) provides examples of: |
24 | * BlatantLies: After turning around and shooting [=J3ZA=] in episode 7 of Skyblock, Whitelite says the arrow "ricocheted". |
25 | * CompanionCube: To an extent. Since creepers and cows in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' aren't actually living, this may qualify. In one episode of Skyblock, Whitelite discovers a creeper that spawned on the roof of their house. He then asks the fans to name it for him. |
26 | ** Also, TAG named a cow Herbert, who was the only resident of their pasture. |
27 | * CatchPhrase: |
28 | ** "Punk-ass bitch!" |
29 | ** "Aww, dicks!" |
30 | ** "Huzzah!" |
31 | ** "There's shit everywhere!" |
32 | %%* CliffHanger: Episode 4 of Skyblock. |
33 | * CrazyEnoughToWork: In episode 8 of the Skyblock series, [=J3ZA=] managed to build a cobblestone bridge from the island all the way to the mainland, a job which probably took at least an hour. He even admitted that he completed the task while procrastinating an examination study session. |
34 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: The white text on the black background that occurs in Skyblock and Skygrid. |
35 | * {{Determinator}}: Both of them. Despite constant failure or extremely long processes to get things done, they almost never give up. |
36 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3M8BS2KHNI Explosives+]] mod review, Whitelite says that he could "use this nuke to nuke the nuke." |
37 | * [[invoked]]DudeNotFunny: Parodied. TAG has been known for its Mexican jokes, and some commentators believe their Mexican fans have abandoned them. Whitelite himself has received an email complaint about said jokes. |
38 | * EpicFail: The first few videos of their Tekkit series involved their supposed "house" being damaged several times by creepers. Several deaths and frustrations later, they finally managed to build a small factory that even Whitelite admitted looked pretty awful. |
39 | --> "I don't know why it looks so much like ass... I tried." |
40 | ** Another example would be after about half a minute in The End, [[spoiler: [=J3ZA=] gets knocked off the platform by the Ender Dragon and loses about ''three hours'' worth of supplies]]. |
41 | %%* FreezeFrameBonus: The white text occasionally includes this (such as in episode 3 of Skyblock). |
42 | * GoneHorriblyRight: The mob spawner they built in Skyblock spawned mobs ''everywhere''. The first part of the next episode is spent showing them taking it back. |
43 | -->'''[=J3ZA=]''': It works too well! |
44 | %%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Justified, since they're both roommates with a common interest in gaming. |
45 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: The nuke they set off in Tekkit [[spoiler: wound up killing them multiple times and spawning an ''insane'' amount of monsters.]] |
46 | * ManChild: An episode of Crashtastic was entitled [="P3NIS"=]. |
47 | ** In Farming Simulator, they drew a male genitalia in the fields. |
48 | * NoIndoorVoice: As shown by their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYG36892DJI official trailer]], whenever they get excited or angry, they tend to yell. Played with a comic effect. |
49 | * {{Sidekick}}: Averted. Most may think that Whitelite is the main character, since he's the one doing the recording. But both Whitelite and [=J3ZA=] contribute to the commentary equally. |
50 | * RunningGag: In Skyblock, TAG not finishing their house roof. |
51 | * TakeThat: What generally happens during the Crashtastic videos when they beat a level after several tries. |
52 | ** Not to mention their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGDU3aAg6FQ epic fight]] with the Ender Dragon in season 3 of Skyblock. |
53 | * TakeThatMe: During the Skyblock series, Whitelite constantly insults his and [=J3ZA=]'s ability to do anything right in ''Minecraft''. It might be understandable, especially after all the deaths they endured in that series. |
54 | ** Referred to in one of their VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}} videos. |
55 | --> '''Whitelite''': "Today we have proof that we're not complete retards at every game we play." |
56 | * TooDumbToLive: TAG themselves, although [[DoubleSubverted sometimes they seem prepared and bad luck or unknown circumstances arise and they fail anyway.]] |
57 | ** Played straight with all the animals except Hubert in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w9lSUc-R5I Skyblock #26]]. |
