1
I hate generic bases because they all look the same.
2
And even when they are different, they're still very boring.
3
So in an effort to change that, I'm going to build 16 different bases made out of every color in Minecraft.
4
With each of them having their own unique features and cool hiding places, which will be very important later.
5
But for now, let's get started with yellow base.
6
So for this, we're going to need yellow concrete, gold, bamboo, yellow dye, and interestingly enough, shulker boxes.
7
Because for the yellow base, we're making a nuclear bunker.
8
And I think these shulker boxes look kind of like a reinforced material.
9
Alright, they're not actually reinforced.
10
But now let's create a working door using some gold blocks and some redstone.
11
There we go.
12
We'll also make all of this area yellow with a nuclear sign on the floor.
13
And we'll use bamboo, wood and other accessories to decorate the inside of our bunker.
14
With the last thing we're adding being only yellow paintings.
15
And one of them is going to have a secret hiding place behind it, which you can only access like this.
16
But before I tell you why, the next base we're building is the red base.
17
So the first thing we're going to need is a bunch of crimson nylon.
18
And we'll also take a bunch of these things.
19
And this is basically going to act as red grass.
20
So let's cover this entire area.
21
And the reason why we need all this red grass is because for the red base, I'm going to build a traditional red barn.
22
And we'll make it out of red and white concrete.
23
So we'll have white on the corner.
24
And then we'll have a barn door here, which will be very cool.
25
Then an entrance either side.
26
And of course, another barn door.
27
And at the side, we'll leave some space for windows.
28
For these, we'll use red stained glass.
29
After all, it is the red base.
30
Now we can just build this thing up.
31
And inside it, it's actually massive and extremely empty.
32
Let's fill it up with red sheet.
33
You guys are coming with me.
34
Look guys, it's your new home.
35
And to be fair, if we get enough of these, it should make a pretty good hiding place.
36
Which is very important because I bet my friends $1 ,000 they won't be able to find me.
37
And I'm going to be using invis potions and colored chest plates to hide in the different colored bases.
38
Wait, I dyed these sheep red.
39
If I breed them again, will it give me a red sheep?
40
Oh my god, it actually does.
41
What the hell?
42
The hide and sleep match is going to take place in seven days.
43
And last time I did one of these, I lost $1 ,000.
44
So this time, we need to make the hiding spots as OP as possible.
45
All right, this is a pretty decent hiding place but let's try
46
and make the hiding spots in the green base a lot better.
47
And of course, this one is the only time we can actually use grass.
48
So let's make the most of it.
49
Now we're going to need a lot of leaves.
50
Because for the green base, I'm going to make a massive treehouse base surrounded by a complicated leaf maze.
51
So first things first, let's build the actual maze itself.
52
I want to make this as complicated as possible so
53
that my friends get lost in the maze when they're trying to find me.
54
And then hopefully I can keep my $1 ,000.
55
I'm trying to use all of my experience from my maze video to make this maze as hard as possible
56
Dead end there, dead end there, there's another dead end
57
And there's another dead end
58
Oh my god, I'm making this so hard
59
Perfect, and I've just realised that
60
if I'm getting chased by my friends later I could run into the maze and easily solve it before them
61
And then escape and hide in the treehouse space
62
But for that to be an option, we need to build the actual base.
63
And for that, we need a lot of wood.
64
Thank God for this bomb.
65
First off, let's spam loads of blocks and build the trunk for the tree.
66
It's going to be really thick at the bottom.
67
And then as it goes up, it'll get skinnier and skinnier.
68
Kind of like the Eiffel Tower, but a tree instead.
69
And now we can start making branches for all the leaves to go on.
70
I mean, after all, this is meant to be the green base.
71
But before we add the leaves, let's make our treehouse.
72
So for this, we'll use oak planks, I think, and just use the middle section and extend it.
73
I want it to look kind of like a little, like, rustic treehouse.
74
It's not meant to look perfect.
75
It's meant to look like it's kind of falling apart.
76
I think some slabs might make it look a little more like that.
77
We'll add some green carpet, a green bed, and a green shulker box.
78
And then, of course, we also need an entrance.
79
Ah, that's not going to work.
80
So once you get to the centre of the mage, you can enter the tree and then climb up this ladder to get into the treehouse.
81
And I'm leaving this bit open so that if they're chasing me, I can escape into a different base.
82
But speaking of the hide and seek match, we've only got 5 and a half days until it happens.
83
So we need to hurry up because we've got a lot of different colored bases still left to build.
84
Let's quickly add the leaves to this tree.
85
And that's the green base done.
86
Next up is the dark gray base.
87
This should be a fairly fast one
88
because I'm going to make an upgraded version of this factory I made in my last colors video.
89
All right, so first things first, let's use deep slate bricks to lay down the foundations for this factory.
90
All right, so as you can see, it's going to be in an L shape.
91
And I think we'll have the entrance somewhere here.
92
Before we build up the rest of the walls, let's design the first level.
93
I'm thinking this section can be kind of like a warehouse with just boxes and piles of stuff everywhere.
94
So let's just spam loads of blocks and make some kind of like piles.
95
And to make it even harder for the seekers, we're going to have a second entrance over here.
96
So if they enter the factory and I see them, I can sneak out the back door and escape.
97
Now we can build ourselves up the walls.
98
Oh, this sounds so nice.
99
Yeah.
100
So we've got the walls and we've got the second story built.
101
But the question is, how are we going to get up to it?
102
Well, for this, I'm going to build an elevator.
103
We're going to need lots of slime, redstone, and stuff like observers and sticky pistons.
104
Okay, now the first thing we want to do is create some space for the elevator to actually start.
105
For this, we're probably going to have to drain some of this water.
106
No, drowned.
107
Leave me alone.
108
Stealing my concrete.
109
And now we can just use the sponges to drain all the water.
110
Perfect.
111
All right, so we'll build the start of the elevator here.
112
So we'll have obsidian there.
113
Then we'll have an observer and a sticky piston and slime blocks.
114
And then on this side, we'll have slime blocks, then a sticky piston here and an observer pointing this down.
115
Oh, that's the wrong way.
116
Now we need a way to activate the elevator.
117
So for this, I'll just come down here and grab one stone, which we can use to craft a button.
118
So this button can send up the elevator.
119
Then we can jump up here and the elevator will stop there.
120
But this is a bit unfair because if I go up here, my friends won't be able to get up here.
121
So the elevator needs to automatically go back down.
122
This was the big problem with my elevator in the last colored video.
123
But this time, I think I've come up with a simple solution.
124
So we'll have a sticky piston here.
125
Then we'll have two observers here facing each other.
126
And if we connect this up to the piston, it should make it fire like this non -stop.
127
And if we then add a block to it, it automatically sends down the elevator.
128
Let's just test out quickly.
129
Oh, I forgot to jump on it.
130
But that shouldn't matter because it automatically gets sent down.
131
Woo!
132
Yes!
133
Yes!
134
It works so well.
135
Um, does it?
136
I think we just need to make it a little bit slower.
137
Yep, that works.
138
So now for the second level, I'm going to have glass tubes that are transporting material between them.
139
After all, this is a factory.
140
All right, so now if we throw a bunch of different grey blocks in here, they should be transported around the whole of the second floor,
141
kind of like a factory conveyor belt.
142
Yes, this looks cool.
143
And to be fair, it could be a good hiding place.
144
I could literally just sit in this and get pushed around with just a grey chest plate showing.
145
But anyways, now it's time to finish up the factory with a roof
146
and a giant chimney with loads of smoke coming out of it.
147
Wow, this first row is already looking so cool.
148
Imagine what it's going to look like with all the coloured bases built.
149
But if we're going to get there, we need to build the brown base next.
150
So I think it's pretty obvious what to use for the ground in this base.
151
All right, and then for the actual base, I'm going to use some of this leftover wood to build a big log cabin.
152
And of course, it's going to have a couple of secrets.
153
I think this looks like a decent size.
154
Now, the technique we're going to use to do this is kind of like how they build log cabins in real life,
155
where the individual logs will slot into each other.
156
We also want it to have like a 3D effect.
157
So we're going to do logs on like different levels.
158
That's one layer done.
159
I'm really not sure how this is going to look, but let's keep going.
160
Alright, I think that's looking pretty cool.
161
Now for the inside.
162
First of all, let's replace all of this dirt with oak planks.
163
Perfect.
164
Now let's make the seeker's job really hard and add loads of different rooms that they're going to have to search.
165
This is going to waste so much of their time.
166
Alright, so we'll craft a bunch of doors and put one on each of the rooms.
167
But also behind one of the doors is going to be the way up to the second level of the log cabin.
168
And up here, I'll easily be able to escape from the seekers.
169
But that won't be my only way to escape this log cabin.
170
As you see, I've left this back area open.
171
And in this space, I'm going to make a secret bookshelf door.
172
Kind of like the ones in Scooby -Doo.
173
So these middle ones here are the ones that are going to move.
174
Oh my god, I don't have so.. touch.
175
Anyways, let's make some piston doors here that will make this bookshelf look completely normal.
176
So if we place bookshelves there, then press that, it closes and looks completely normal, but that's the opposite of what we want.
177
And we want to activate it from a secret button somewhere.
178
What about here?
179
Yeah, that's pretty hard to see, especially if you're not looking for it.
180
Then this redstone is connected to the button, which will go into a redstone porch and connect to here.
181
So now if we press this button, it opens and it closes.
182
Is there enough time? Or just about?
183
Now we can connect the secret door up with a place that you might not expect,
184
but you'll have to wait till the end of the video to see what that is.
185
Anyways, with some finishing touches, that is the brown base complete.
186
Next up is the dark blue base, which is going to be a little bit different because for this one, I'm building an underwater submarine.
187
And the first thing we need to do is convert all the sides to dark blue concrete.
188
Perfect.
189
Now let's grab a bunch of this blue coral.
190
And use it to replace all of these green sea plants.
191
Silly plants.
192
This is the blue base, not the green one.
193
Let's put these little things everywhere as well.
194
And if you look very closely, I've also added a little coral place for me to hide without drowning.
195
But now in this space down here, let's build the submarine.
196
Right, I'm not sure how this is going to look, but let's give it a try.
197
I think that might be a little bit too big, actually.
198
Let's just make it a little bit smaller.
199
All right, now this bit can be the back of the submarine.
200
So we need to build a place for the propeller.
201
We just start making it smaller.
202
Ow, I'm going to die.
203
No!
204
Wait a second, that's going to look a bit wrong.
205
Let's not do that.
206
Maybe if we have squares.
207
Does that look like a propeller?
208
I mean, kind of.
209
So now for the way into the submarine, we will create a hole like this.
210
Then we'll place some iron trap doors.
211
And we'll have some levers either side of it.
212
Oh, wait.
213
We can't do that.
214
Maybe we could have doors that are always open.
215
If we go inside it and we quickly just drain the water so we don't drown.
216
We can just power the trap doors from inside.
217
Nice.
218
Now we can add in some windows.
219
For this, we'll use blue stained glass.
220
And now we can separate the submarine into rooms like the submarines have in real life.
221
And of course, submarines usually have a lot of crew members on.
222
So they all need places to sleep.
223
Ooh, that's actually giving me an idea.
224
You see, when my friends are searching for me, if it's night, I'll be able to click on the beds and my character will lie down.
225
And if I click a high enough bed, I should be able to easily hide from the seekers.
226
That might actually be one of the best hiding spots so far.
227
But anyways, let's finish up the blue base by adding a blue painting.
228
Yes.
229
And I think the last thing we should do is turn all of this normal land into blue concrete.
230
I wish there was more dark blue blocks, but there just isn't. And done.
231
This space is definitely my least favorite one so far.
232
But let's try to make up for it with the next base, which is the light blue base.
233
Okay, it's going to be a little bit weird having the two blues next to each other, but it's actually going to work pretty well.
234
However, the first thing we need to do is place loads of dirt under the water like this
235
so that we can now drain this water.
236
And I'm out of dry sponges.
237
Much better.
238
Yeah, we're probably going to have to do this a few times.
239
Now we can cover this entire area with light blue concrete powder.
240
Oh my god, I'm placing this so fast. And I messed up.
241
Now it might surprise you to know that we're not actually building the light blue base here.
242
Instead, we're building it all the way up there.
243
Because you see, for the light blue base, I'm going to build a sky base.
244
As it's the perfect color to blend in with the sky.
245
So we're now 100 blocks up in the air.
246
Let's start building our sky base.
247
And let's use a mixture of concrete and light blue stained glass.
248
So when we're hiding from my friends, we'll be able to look down and see what they're doing.
249
That should increase our chances of keeping our $1 ,000.
250
At least hopefully.
251
And you may notice from underneath that it kind of looks like a target.
252
Well, that's because we're going to use a TNT player launcher to launch ourselves up there.
253
So for this, we need a bunch of dispensers, which we can craft using some bows.
254
That's probably a bit too many bows.
255
And now we're also going to need a bunch of TNT.
256
That actually should be enough.
257
Then we need a little bit of redstone.
258
And finally, a singular stone button.
259
Yay!
260
All right, now instead of building this TNT launcher on the floor,
261
I want to build it a little bit higher up in the air and then build some parkour going up to it.
262
So first, let's build the TNT launcher itself.
263
think this is a decent enough height.
264
All right, now we build the base of it, replace these side bits with dispensers, place a fence post in the middle,
265
fill it all up with water.
266
And finally, we can fill each one of these dispensers with a certain amount of TNT.
267
Let's go for seven.
268
Now, if I want it to work, I'll stand on here and click that.
269
But we won't press that button now because I would die.
270
I'll explain more later, but for now, let's build that parkour.
271
The idea with this is to make it hard enough that you will fall if you're not concentrating,
272
but easy enough that I could run and escape from my friends while doing it.
273
This one is definitely a little bit too hard.
274
We'll have jumps down and then jumps going back up.
275
Sometimes the easiest jumps are the hardest ones, and then sometimes the hard ones are the hard ones.
276
This bit's going to be one of the harder bits
277
because I'm going to make it so you have to jump around a block.
278
Wait, can I even do this?
279
We have to be able to do this so we can escape from our friends and keep a thousand dollars
280
Come on Oh, that's a four block jump
281
That's kind of hot
282
That's impossible Alright, so we'll add a ladder there
283
And then two there
284
So you have to jump
285
And then hop around
286
Yes Okay Can I do this?
287
Yes, I can
288
Alright, let's test if we can do the final bit
289
Yes, we've done it!
290
An escape!
291
Bang!
292
But I am not going to click that now, otherwise this would happen.
293
But thankfully, when I transfer my hardcore world onto a server, I can change it to peaceful.
294
So it will work like this.
295
However, this cannon does launch you pretty high, so we need to catch ourselves in some way.
296
And for this, I think we should use some water.
297
Nice.
298
Now, if we get rid of this dirt, that will be the light blue base complete.
299
And so with four days left until the hide and seek match, we've done nearly half of all the colored bases,
300
meaning we're on schedule to be done in time.
301
So let's try to keep it that way as we go on to the next base, which is the magenta base.
302
And for this, I'm also going to drain the top layer of water and replace it with concrete powder.
303
And now that we've got this, we can start building our magenta castle.
304
So we're going to build the towers out of concrete.
305
And then for the castle walls in between, I think we should use stripped crimson wood.
306
And so whilst I'm building up this castle, I'm going to be thinking of all the other features
307
that I'm going to add to it to make it really hard for my friends to find me.
308
All right, the first feature I want to add is a bunch of market stalls in the middle
309
and this should just give me some places to hide.
310
Okay, that's looking decent.
311
Now I want to find some magenta flowers that I can place around
312
because I think they'll be really good to hide in.
313
Yeah, it'll be a lot better when I'm just wearing a magenta chest plate.
314
And now for the last feature of the magenta base,
315
I'm going to build an armory and I'm going to build it for a very particular and quite sneaky reason.
316
And to show you what that reason is we need to kill a lot of cows
317
and to be honest horses will also do right now we can use this leather to craft leather chest plates
318
and using some of these plants we can get magenta dye
319
and dye these chest plates then using some smooth stone slabs oh my god
320
this is hard to say i literally just got invisalign
321
so i've got a bit of a lisp anyways now that we've got this,
322
we could put loads of them down here and put a chest plate on them.
323
And of course, I'm going to look like this.
324
So when I'm standing near these or even inside them, I can perfectly blend in.
325
This is going to be even more AP when we have loads of these things.
326
This is such a good plan.
327
And to top it all off, I added a secret tunnel
328
that led from the magenta armory into the dark blue ocean
329
base everything was going really well some might say a little too well
330
you see i was looking back at my recordings
331
and not gonna lie
332
i got a little embarrassed of my list from my new invisalign retainer bunch of market stalls in the middle
333
but i am and of course it's gonna have a couple of secrets
334
so much so that i couldn't bring myself to record for the rest of
335
that day and to further our time problem the next day was my girlfriend's birthday
336
and although it was a great day spent with her and her family, I now had eight bases to build in two days.
337
So I had to put my embarrassment aside and get back to work.
338
The next base I built was the light grey base and for it I decided to build an old mine.
339
It was complete with spider webs, light grey trees and of course an escape route.
340
I then moved on to the purple base which I decided would be a wizard tower.
341
I made the actual tower out of lots of obsidian, and then used some crying obsidian to make it feel more alive.
342
Then on top of the tower, I used layers of purple and magenta glass to create this foggy effect.
343
And finally, I used chorus plants and piles of purple concrete to decorate the area.
344
Conveniently, this is also the only way to get on top of the wizard tower, so that should definitely be useful later.
345
Speaking of the hide and seek match, a great place to hide would be in this giant black skyscraper.
346
I decorated the area with a road around it and some silhouettes of cars on the sidewalk.
347
Then inside the skyscraper, I tried my best to make each level unique, with lots of places to hide.
348
But if they didn't work, I could always escape using the hidden slime blocks down below.
349
So now with only 5 bases left to build, let's focus on making some really good hiding places.
350
Next up is the white base.
351
So for this, I'm going to need lots of quartz because I'm going to build a modern mansion.
352
Also, guys, let me know in the comments, like, what you think about my new, uh, my new lisp.
353
Yeah, and just, like, just want to know what you guys think about it.
354
And I'm probably going to be streaming on my second channel,
355
so make sure you subscribe to that just so I can get used to talking with them in.
356
I think I'm only going to have to wear them for, like, a couple of months, so it shouldn't be too bad.
357
Now, we're also probably going to need a bunch of snow, and this one bucket of powdered snow is going to be very important.
358
So firstly, let's cover this entire area with snow.
359
Okay, now I'm going to use white concrete to lay down the foundations for our modern house.
360
So for this, I'm just going to try and make it very square with lots of different sharp corners.
361
Yeah, I think this is looking like a decent shape.
362
Now let's just build up the walls and see what it's looking like.
363
So for some sections, we'll use concrete.
364
For some other sections, we'll have big white stained glass windows.
365
Yeah, that's looking pretty good.
366
And then for some others, we'll use some quartz and we'll actually make quartz pillars.
367
I think this will look really good in some of these corner sections.
368
All right, that's looking pretty good.
369
Now for the floor, let's replace it with some birch slabs.
370
It's not really white, but it's the whitest wood I can think of.
371
All right, yeah, I'm liking this a lot.
372
Now it's time to add a bunch of the decorations.
373
Firstly, we'll add a bunch of white paintings to this wall.
374
Oh.
375
Oh.
376
Oh.
377
We'll then also leave some piles of concrete powder around as this house isn't fully complete yet.
378
Plus it'll also give us some good places to hide.
379
And speaking of places to hide, on this wall here, I'm gonna have a bunch of flower beds.
380
But that's not the important bit because in the parts where there's no dirt, we're gonna have quartz pillar blocks.
381
But one of them isn't gonna look the same.
382
Meaning when we stand on it, we'll fall through into this secret wall.
383
And to escape, we can literally just walk from behind these paintings.
384
And to make it even better, let's cover this all up with trap doors, including the tops of the blocks.
385
And with a few finishing touches, that was the white biome complete.
386
Now, as you might be able to tell, lime is our next base.
387
So let's grab some glass and get building.
388
With the lime base, my idea was to build a big green eco dome with loads of plants
389
and vegetation inside to hide it.
390
All right, that's the dome.
391
Now let's grab all of these plants and start decorating the inside.
392
First up, we'll spam loads of bamboo everywhere.
393
Now we'll also have a bunch of melons all over the place as these are a nice lime color.
394
We just want to make the inside of this as messy as possible.
395
Then we can also add some drip leaves.
396
And then finally, if we add some holes with water in, we can plant a bunch of sugar cane.
397
And to cover up the blue water, let's add some lily pads.
398
All right, this is going to look really cool once everything's grown.
399
Let's move on to the orange base.
400
For this base, we need a hell of a lot of orange terracotta.
401
And we better hurry up and get it because the hide and seek competition starts in six hours.
402
And we've still got three bases left to build.
403
Oh my god.
404
Okay, the plan for this base is to build a secret volcano base.
405
And to do that, we need to build the volcano itself.
406
All right, just spam blocks in a volcano -ish shape.
407
Not sure if that's a word, but it is now.
408
All right, now that we've got the shape of it, we can start to add the lava.
409
So I want lava flowing down the volcano in every direction.
410
All right, so we need to make these pistons pull down these blocks and then this lava will flow over the hole,
411
covering it up so the seekers don't know where it is.
412
So this button activates all the pistons and should move the lava out of the way.
413
So now we just need to hook this button up to outside the volcano.
414
Okay, after a lot of trial and error, I think I finally got it figured out.
415
So if we press this button, we need to run over here quickly.
416
Come on, please, please, please.
417
Climb up here.
418
Yes.
419
Then this should activate.
420
Come on.
421
Yep.
422
All right, and then we fall down quickly.
423
And then the lava should cover it back up.
424
Perfect.
425
And now we could chill and hide in here, or if we hear them coming and we think they figured it out,
426
we can drop down here, and like we did in the magenta biome, quickly escape into the blue base.
427
Now it's time for the final two bases.
428
And whilst building these final bases, I actually began to feel excited for the hide and seek match.
429
But speaking of it, we didn't have long left at all.
430
So for the cyan base, I decided I was going to build a campsite with a few sneaky little spots.
431
And for the pink base, I built a Japanese house surrounded by pink cherry blossom trees.
432
So all 16 bases were now complete, and that excitement from earlier had morphed into fear.
433
As I realised I could lose another $1 ,000.
434
Please not again.
435
But I guess now it was finally time to see if that would happen.
436
Alright, so I've got all the coloured chest blitz in the game,
437
and I'm going to use an invis potion to hide in the different coloured bases.
438
You guys will have eight minutes to find me until this potion runs out
439
and if you do you win a thousand dollars
440
Think about what we could get with that gamers.
441
We could get something worth a thousand dollars
442
I've got one minute to hide and then you guys will have seven minutes to find me.
443
All right time starts
444
Now he's gone.
445
Where am I gonna hide?
446
I've always got to be wearing a chest plate I like the idea of the magenta one,
447
but I want to be able to see what's going on Oh, I'm going to go up to the top of this.
448
I have to do this parkour and get up there.
449
Oh, my God.
450
I am so stressed.
451
No, I messed up.
452
Two, three, three, four, 35.
453
Oh, no, screw it.
454
We've got to go magenta base.
455
All right, guys, the minute's up.
456
Okay, let's go.
457
Okay.
458
Oh, this looks cool.
459
This is so cool.
460
Oh, no. Okay, we need to start searching.
461
I'm going up this tower.
462
Wait, you guys can't see name tags, can you?
463
No, because you're invisible.
464
I see your name tags.
465
Are you in here?
466
Locked down.
467
It's a very cool barn.
468
I'm in the yellow section now.
469
It's made like a little mini maze.
470
Oh, I've just remembered I should have gone into the yellow base and hidden.
471
That's such a good place.
472
Maybe I can get there without them noticing.
473
Whereabouts are you guys?
474
I've just come out of the black biome.
475
I don't think you're in that.
476
I'm in the yellow section right now.
477
Oh, there's so many places to hide.
478
This is a good spot because if I see them going into the magenta, then I can run out.
479
How long have we got?
480
You've got three minutes.
481
Where are you now, gamers?
482
On the white?
483
In the purple.
484
Oh no, in pinky, whatever.
485
Pink.
486
Oh, you put a little Armistan thing here.
487
Oh my god, come on, please.
488
He's going near.
489
Please, please, please, please, please.
490
Well, have you lied when you said we've been near him?
491
No, I was in the magenta base when you were searching it.
492
What?
493
I just escaped.
494
Where is he?
495
He's gone somewhere.
496
I'm stuck in a maze.
497
Gil was stuck in the maze
498
Get out of the maze I can't
499
One minute and 35 seconds left
500
Oh, secret tunnel
501
You found the secret tunnel I got locked in the secret tunnel
502
Can I break this block?
503
No, you can't
504
But I'm stuck in now Gil needs to get you out then
505
Alright guys, I'll tell you where I am I'm in the yellow base
506
Come into the basement and let me out I'm going to yellow base
507
Goodbye gamers I need to throw an item onto the press plate.
508
Yes, I did it.
509
No. What do you mean, yellow base?
510
I'm in the yellow base.
511
How?
512

513
Press the button.
514
Oh, my God.
515
15 seconds.
516
No, please don't find me.
517
Love me.
518
You're never going to find me.
519
Nine seconds.
520
You're never finding me.
521
Three seconds.
522
Where are you?
523
You'll turn around.
524
No. Let's go.
525
Did you go behind the painting?
526
Yeah.
527
Oh, I didn't know you could do that.
528
All right.
529
Just because there's so many more spots that I want to try out, let's do best of three.
530
You need to win this next game.
531
Otherwise, I win.
532
All right.
533
Here we go.
534
Round two.
535
This is your only chance to still be able to win the $500.
536
Okay.
537
Come on, Gil.
538
No getting stuck in a maze.
539
All right.
540
A minute from now.
541
One, two.
542
All right.
543
This time, I'm going to do this and actually not mess up.
544
I can't mess this up.
545
Otherwise, I'm screwed.
546
No, I messed up.
547
Oh my God, they've got 25 seconds.
548
Where am I going to hide?
549
Game has checked here last time loads, but hopefully he doesn't check again.
550
Why did I make that parkour so hard?
551
Maybe I can do it later when they're in other biomes.
552
All right, guys.
553
Go!
554
I'm going to check this big black tower.
555
I'm trusting you, Gil.
556
You have to make sure you search properly.
557
You can trust me.
558
I'll do my very best, gamers.
559
Then again, I don't have my glasses on.
560
Okay, so I'm thinking if he's made all of these hiding spaces, he must be in one of the little cool ones
561

562

563

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
