More SoI Hints and Hopes for the New Videos

So again I was around on the forums... and I found this post. They noticed that the Yogpod's facebook cover photo has been changing over the past 20 days. It depicts the wall and the breach (pic 1), and then 3 figures appear to walk through (pic 2) who look to be Honeydew, Xephos, and Knight_Peculier. The last one (pic 3) was updated today and shows the rebuilding of the wall.

Now there has been A LOT of hints into the possible return of SoI. There have been mentions of Israphel and the series in various videos (Trucking Tuesday, Tekkit/Yoggit) and they are providing hints on facebook as well. Now unless they are being total trolls and teasing their 4 million + subscribers and viewers, SoI should be making an appearance soon. I kinda like all of these little teases they are putting out. I am getting excited, and I bet a ton of other people are too. But I also think too many will start to irritate people, so they should be used wisely.

Just waiting for some proof... right now it's all talk and no walk. And I don't want to be a bummer on such a happy time, but I really hope they put out more videos this year than in 2012 as far as SoI is concerned. I personally liked the earlier episodes, minus the poorer video quality and the lack of features on the part of Minecraft. Don't get me wrong I love the new episodes that dazzle viewers with amazing video effects and creative editing, but I think going back to their roots would be a smart move. Or at least a compromise. Going from 35 to 6 main SoI episodes in a year is a little drastic, and 2013 isn't looking to bright with it being the middle of March without a single one. And for a time, for this next video at least I will be really disappointed if we waited almost 8 months (or more depending on when it is uploaded) for a 10 minute video. The longest SoI episode is about 28 minutes (Part 38: The Hand). It doesn't have to be that long, but I think somewhere around 18-20 should be the minimum for the wait. Or multiple 12-15 minute videos released let's say every week. I know none of this is my choice or the choice of anyone but the Yogscast, but I hope that they realize (and I mean really realize) that we the viewers are the ones that make their channel and the viewers made them who they are today. They do have a right to post what they want and what they enjoy, but just end the series so their audience isn't just hanging around waiting. Despite all of this negative stuff, I am actually really optimistic for what lies ahead and I can't wait for the next episode!

On Thursday another pic was uploaded. Here it is!

Now this looks like it is recounting the rebuilding of the breach outside Verigan's Hold. Many are starting to speculate when the next episode will come out. Some are saying video 2000, and some are saying once they reach 5 million subs. No matter when it comes there is one fact: It is coming soon.

On April 23 another one was uploaded. Here it is!

So it wasn't video 2000... But the 2000th video wasn't all that bad. They still haven't reached 5 million subs so that may be a thing. Or once the Battle of the Breach is fully panned out on cover photos they will release it. Not entirely sure. Give me your thoughts! :)

Another one May 7th! :)

Another "maybe" hint at a return date... they are getting close to 5 million subs. So get all your friends to sub and let's see what happens!

Update: 5-21-13

Yet another one :) I want the new episode sooo bad! The wall is almost rebuilt :)

Besides the 5 million sub guess (they are about 150k away), Their VERY FIRST video was uploaded on July 19th 2008. So MAYBE (another shot in the dark) the new one could be uploaded on their 5th anniversary of the very beginning of their channel. Comment with your thoughts!

Update: 7-23-13

Finally another :) Took a little over 2 months, but this one is funny. I actually caught this one before someone commented... I feel proud even though it is still a week late. Here it is!

Pic 8 - Facebook (July 23)

So 5 year channel anniversary, 5 million subs, and 1 year SoI part 42 anniversary came and gone and nothing. But at least the wall is almost done. Only a couple more photos to go :) Get excited!
