Awesome / Voltz (Yogscast)

• Voltz Special - The Bomb. Sips and Sjin set off a Red Matter Explosive, not knowing it could destroy the whole world. Several deaths later, Ridgedog notices, but keeps being killed and then losing his connection before he can do anything about it. He then calls for Duncan's help, explaining that the only thing that can cancel out Red Matter is Antimatter, and that left unchecked it would eat the entire server. Duncan and Lewis enter creative mode - the situation making it come off as a Let's Get Dangerous! moment - and fly down on Sips' rapidly collapsing mountain to set off the antimatter explosive... which, although cancelling out the red matter explosive reaction, also destroys most of the mountain Sips and Sjin were living in. So Duncan demonstrates Rejuvenation missiles, which restore chunks to the state they were first loaded in.
  • This becomes a CMOF when Lewis and Ridge unknowingly return the tunnel base Sips and Sjin dug into the mountain to its original solid state, with them still inside it.
  • Oh, actually the Red Matter Wormhole is still out there. The Anti-Matter didn't blow up close enough to destroy it, so it just sent it flying into the unloaded chunks. As long as no idiot goes out into the unloaded chunks it will remain dormant... which means Simon, Sips, or Sjin will probably wake it up when Voltz updates so it can end the world.^note Red matter was later nerfed
  • Not to mention that the bomb is basicly a swirling black hole of doom that is impossible to get in sight of outside of creative mode, and even in their fully powered state it came across as a serious threat and Duncan and Lewis needed several goes to get at it. Them flying around the inside of a hollowed out mountain trying to find a spot that will last long enough to set the bomb is pretty much a second moment of awesome in it's own right. Especially with all the roaring sucking sounds from the Red matter vortex, and the utterly huge explosions when the antimatter finally goes off.
• Voltz 23: After constructing a missile defense system, Lewis and Simon start scouting out Ridgedog's base. They're interrupted when Ridge suddenly appears on the roof of his base, and presses the red button. Lewis and Simon watch his missile blast off, and then get rather frantic as it turns out the missile defense system at their base is apparently not working. The last second of the episode is Duncan looking up at the missile falling on him as Lewis shouts at him to trigger the launcher manually, Simon screaming Duncan's name, and the screen going black. Easily the most tense moment of the entire series, made more so by the fact that everything after Ridgedog arrives is accompanied by awesome music, and instead of the usual ending theme, they continue that music.
  • The opening of the next episode is almost entirely Ridge curbstomping them. His first missile turned out to only be a chemical missile, so instead of blowing up the base poisoned and blinded Duncan. Ridge subsequently blew Simon up somehow, and then fired an Ender missile at their base. Duncan was teleported to the end and subsequently fell into the void, taking their antimatter missile and his second complete powersuit with him, and the base became so heavily infested with Endermen that it took Simon and Lewis several attempts to get it back under control. With just two missiles he set them back more than five episodes of work, and came close to completely destroying them. Pretty impressive.
• Once the base is restored, Simon, Lewis, and Duncan decide to launch a counterattack with steel swords. Against his missiles and what turns out to be a railgun. This moment itself is pretty awesome, but it gets better. Lewis and Duncan get killed pretty quick, but Simon manages to get int the gun's blind spot, smashes the platform Ridge was standing on, and then kills him with a bucket of lava. all with just half a heart remaining.
• Lewis, deciding this is a serious emergency, reveals he had buried a chest of emergency supplies under the fusion reactor, which contained everything they'd need to rebuild and counterattack in this situation.
• Episode 25: Retribution has Ridge's biggest attempt to get rid of Lewis, Simon and Duncan. It all started with a sign in the lowest point in his base.
  "I would miss you if you died. Behind you. -Ridge."
  Lewis: Behind us? What does he mean, behind us?
  "Goodbye."
  "Tee hee"
  @: Intruders detected! Base self destruct system initiated.
  Simon: "Self destruct?! Oh god!"
  @: Prepare to die, suckas!
  Duncan: We didn't have time to salvage everything!
  Lewis: Just get out of there! Get out of the base!
  • While Lewis and Simon escape with plenty of time left, Duncan narrowly escapes - the explosion blows him into the sea nearby.
  • The fact that While Lewis and Simon fled for their lives imediately, Duncan decided that they needed to get something out of this, and collected several chests worth of missiles before leaving. particularly cool since he didn't have time to open the chests, so he just blew them to bits with his rocket launcher and scooped up what fell out.
  • And for added awesome, the whole sequence is set to the awesome music from the cliffhanger conclusion of Voltz 23.
    • It immediately becomes funny when Ridge rejoins just in time to see his base explode, saying "back from afk" and immediately after, "what the f**k"
