Said this in a comment many months back but I'll say it here too; Your Xbox 360 Sky Island series, way way almost 11 years ago, is why I'm still into Minecraft today. Genuinely, it's because of that series I bugged my parents to buy an Xbox 360, bought a One S a few years later, bought the Forza Horizon games, then got into cars, bought my first ever car, and eventually went into an engineering career because of that passion. In a way, you started that, so, thank you Squid!
There’s just something magical about revisiting old Minecraft worlds, to see what it was like back when Minecraft was new and too see all the creative things the players made. This is why Minecraft will always be one of the most creative games ever made. Thanks Squid, for bring back a lot of childhood memories and hopefully you’ll feel better soon.
I started watching sky island challenge when I was 8, I'm now turning 20 this year. This series along with Stampys lovely world and DanTDM honestly built my childhood, watching this bought back so many memories so thank you squid! I cant wait to be able to load the world up myself.
I can’t believe it was that long ago…. It feels like it’s only been a few years! 🥹 our lives will forever be touched by the impact they made on us💜 I’m also turning 20 this year so it hits hard
It’s crazy how many people lives they shaped. Those guys practically raised me. I wouldn’t have survived the transition to highschool if it wasn’t for my escape at the end of the day
I spent a lot of time in the hospital as a kid, and you and Stampy's videos entertained me for hours on end. Thanks so much for bringing these back and giving me so much nostalgia.
I’m so happy to see you got back to your old worlds! Your sky island was so cool, I used to try and recreate it at home on my iPad! It feels so nice to see this now that I’m grown up
On sky island I think you might’ve skipped it, but, the cave spidey spider helper house was mine (I went by misterjoshie at the time) very fond memories of filming MC vids with you mate (and playing games and talking to eachother or In group in general) thank you for letting us hop on to the server to contribute towards the already massive amount of stuff you’ve done previously and up-to now. You should be very proud mate and so nice that you’ve kept me followed on Twitter for so many years, be great to catch up in person, don’t think I’ve seen you since EGX Rez 2014 (I was a very shy, timid guy back then too!) you’re a great guy, have a great one with your little family 👍
@@liamcraddock9539 hi mate, very very briefly, mostly just hung out outside of video production, but, managed to hop on for a few episodes with the man himself! Still stay connected via socials, don’t do much content anymore myself but very happy to see all of my friends who I worked with do so well with their channels years later :)
Squiddy, bro, I’m 19 almost 20 and these worlds were legit my childhood 😭 like I remember coming home from school at like 8 and being so giddy to see a new episode, I’d jump between you and stamps and be praying all day that there’d be a video when I got home 😭 love you man, thank you for raising me man
I remember finding the Sky Island Challenge when there were only about 20 or so episodes, and my little brother and I watched every single episode together until it finally ended. Those are honestly still some of my fondest memories.
this is encouraged me to rewatch the old series and just enjoy nostalga and just how much better the world was back when the world was a happier place with companies treating you better
Dear iBallisticSquid, Hey Squid, I hope this letter finds you in a moment of peace. I wanted to open my heart to you and share how profoundly your and Stampy's UA-cam content impacted my childhood. I stumbled upon your channel around the tender age of 5, and it became a lifeline to a world filled with creativity, laughter, and boundless adventures. After school, I would eagerly rush home to lose myself in the enchanting realms of "The Tree Of Life," "The Forgotten Vale," "The Lost Sword," and 'RE-Solitude," among others. Those videos became more than just entertainment; they were a refuge from the challenges that awaited me outside the screen. The joy and laughter you both shared became a brief escape from the harsh realities of life. Revisiting those adventures now, years later, doesn't just bring laughter; it also stirs a sense of melancholy. The nostalgia is bittersweet, a reminder of a time when life seemed simpler and brighter. It's a reminder of a childhood that has slipped away, leaving behind echoes of laughter and the warmth of those virtual connections. Having had an iPad at that time was a blessing and a curse. It allowed me to easily access and enjoy your content, but it also became a witness to the struggles and challenges that accompanied my growing up. Your videos, in a way, became a constant amidst the chaos, a thread connecting me to a sense of joy that felt increasingly elusive. As I reflect on those days, I can't help but harbor a wish for one more adventure map featuring both you and Stampy. The prospect of reliving that magical chemistry between you two is both heartening and heartbreaking. The realization that such a collaboration might be a distant dream now brings a sense of loss. Thank you, iBallisticSquid, for being more than just a content creator. Your videos were a companion in solitude, a source of fleeting happiness in challenging times. Your impact goes beyond entertainment; it's etched into the fabric of my memories. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Perhaps, in the shadows of nostalgia, there'll be a moment where we can all laugh and cry together once again, if only through the echoes of those cherished adventures. Sincerely, Void Dev
This is so nostalgic for me it's crazy. Like this was my childhood! The sky island series is what first got me into minecraft and UA-cam altogether. I'm so thankful for you Squid and everything you've done for your community throughout the years. I would not be where I am today if it was not for you, so thank you Squid, thank you!
This video truly brought back so many childhood memories. I'm starting to rewatch your old videos and remembered how you and stampy were the soul reason I started to play minecraft with Race to the Moon, quest to kill the ender dragon, sky island, and crazy craft. I just want to thank you for all the great memories you have given me and indirectly creating many more great memories with my friends in minecraft. Thank you and never change do what makes you happy
If you can, Squid, extracting the old adventure maps would really help out the Legacy community. Since MCDN360 shut down, many classic adventure maps are no longer available. If you could export your saved worlds (mainly the adventure maps, regardless of if they've been played or not) you would be a great help with preservation!
I remember watching this when I was a kid the sky island and all. This was the time when people could make great Minecraft myths or stories such as dimension hopping or time travelling and you'd be non the wiser. It's good to see the old worlds in tact and the nostalgia with them Thanks for this great opportunity squid
sky island challenge deserves a comment of its own, oh the bittersweet memories thinking back to all these episodes, i’ve always hoped that one day you’d visit this world back, i remember the last episode being about a barn. i lobed watching your videos as a child, though you may not see this i just want to say thank you once again for being one of the main youtubers that practically raised me when i was a child. and i’m sure its not just me, its a whole group of us that you’ve raised and entertained when we were young. thank you from the bottom of out hearts ❤️
I can't express how much happiness this video gave me. Memories of myself came back from when I was 4 or 5 when these series came out and how much I laughed at these outstanding videos you and Stampy made. Thanks Squiddy.
Everything you went through, the memories I thought I'd never see again appeared!!! It was the craziest experience in a while! Especially going through the tour with the arena you all built, the aunty squid, stampy's hot buns...wow. I forgot but remembered so easily. It feels so nice to relive a part of my childhood.
Its just incredible the emotions that this game can make me feel. I know its just nostalgia and isn’t specific to only Minecraft but watching this video was just super heart warming and comforting.
This makes me feel so old, yet it’s the best gift ever revived. I was wondering when this video would come out, this was a great walk down memory lane, thank you squid for make our childhoods!
I feel so genuinely happy after watching this, it really brightened my day. I have so many memories watching your videos growing up. Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia every so often x
Dude the nostalgia 😭 miss these old series’s, glad you got your account back, and hope you make some more series like these old ones with ash and/or stampy
im going into college this year, and this video made me ball my eyes out. All the nostalgia and memories, and it s even more sad how stampys lovely world has ended too.. thank you for growing up with us
I saw your Race to the Moon world in the list of worlds and I very much hope that gets added. I am glad you were able to find most of your worlds from 10 years ago thus far. It would be a shame lose it after putting so much effert into it. 😃
I watched every single episode of sky island and lovely world back in the day, now I'm almost 18. The fact that both of these old maps from the series' I once treasured are going to be public soon is quite literally some of the best news I've had in a long time. Being able to revisit childhood is going to be amazing. Thank you for the awesome memories.
Holy, I remember watching your Sky Island series when I turned five... I'm in my Sophomore year high school now. The world where you invited others brought back so many memories... the Magic Club House you and Stampy built... all of it. Thank you for being a pivotal part of my childhood.
Makin me tear up,I remember almost every single build they did on the sky island,squid I just wanna thank you for everything you and stamp did,I was a very very lonely kid,the videos yall did made me feel so much less lonely,so thank you for helping me be not so lonely🫶
the nostalgia I got from this video was mad, the sky island was what started my own minecraft journey. Thank you so much squid for all youve done over the years!
Rewatching this makes me remember me playing my old minecraft sky island. I got into minecraft because of you and stampy and got motivated to do my own island with statues, shops and much more! Thank you Squid for making childhoods happen
One of my core memories is sitting on my couch watching the vid at 12:42 and eating Krave cereal around winter as a kid, I’m 20 this year. This video was bittersweet, scary how fast time goes by
Time to go back into time and rewatch the sky island series, and pretend I am young again. Thanks squid for all the good memories of when things felt simpler.
Man it’s been years since I haven’t seen you in awhile I’m glad you’re still okay even though you’re sick I hope you get better soon squid I missed your videos lol my childhood
I could actually cry right now… it really took me back when you showed the old sky island, I can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put into putting all of these memories together! I grew up watching you and stamps and this video just made me so happy!❤
Squiddy got me into minecraft when I was almost 6, and now 11 years later, I still play it often with my dad. Adventuring new worlds, mining together, building cool new bases all because I stumbled upon this beautiful channel all those years ago on my mom's tablet. Thank you Squid, for everything you've done and will do in the years to come.
God I didn’t think I’d start crying. I have watched you and stampy since I was i think 8-9 years old, I’m now 23 years old. this is amazing so many memories I miss you guys a lot. It broke my heart seeing y’all’s last episode together. But I’m happy I can go back in time and watch the episodes all over again if I want.
this video really means a lot. I remember watching you and the whole gang play back in the day and it truly was amazing. I’m 20 now and time really does fly. Thank you for a great childhood.
Bro I swear every time I look at these old worlds I almost cry. I never cry, but these almost make me shed tears, thank you so much for an amazing childhood.
when i was a kid i was always so sad when I could play copies of stampys world but never copies of the sky island challenge. Years later these are still some of the happiest memories i've ever had, watching your videos. I can't wait to see the world, whenever it comes it
this was a blast from the past, only amplified by the original music, jesus i didn't think i'd get as emotional as i did... now i have a sudden urge to go back and rewatch old adventure maps, to rewatch building time, the quest series, building time, crazy craft, race to the moon... oh boy was there a lot
Your skyisland series was the first proper Minecraft series I watched, I started with the cake factory episode. You inspired my siblings and I to start our own skyisland world (which we made in creative mode) and still play on over 10 years later! It's so cool to see your old world and how simple it is compared to modern Minecraft "mega" builds. Looking forward to when those worlds are public. Thanks for the mems squid!
Oh my goodness, I remember the Sky Island Challenge series so vividly. One very vivid memory I have with this series is watching the video where Auntie Squid died, and I genuinely started to cry alongside you guys in the video. (This was like, back in 2013-2014, pretty late at night, when I wasn’t supposed to be watching YT, so it was easy to get emotional, lol.) I remember going into the bathroom to get tissues or something, and looking in the mirror, with tears going down my face, like: “No, Auntie Squid. Auntie Squid.😢” Let’s just say I was super happy when you guys discovered Auntie Squid wasn’t actually dead, and she started yelling at you for trying to bury her. 😂
The Sky Island Challenge world hit very hard, especially with the old Minecraft music in the background. I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you so much Squid for so many amazing memories, I'm so glad that you're still around making people smile today just as you did back then. Much love.
Oh man, this really brings me back. I can only imagine the emotion you felt off camera reliving old memories. Where did the times go. Watched these videos and enjoyed you, Stampy, Ash, Amy Lee, and who ever else you guys had included when I was about 4 years old, anyway I turn 17 this year and I miss bein a kid when things were simple and everyday when I came home from kindergarten I could just get on my tablet or kindle fire or whatever and watch some of Squid's ol modded series or sky island videos or whatever. Race to the Moon was personally my favorite 😉
the effort you put in to rebuild the sky island isn't unnoticed. what beautiful times you all have created and shared with us. I am so happy to have been a fan when I was a kid, I can look back on these videos and get to relive that nostalgic happiness. I have so much love for you and stampy, and the rest of your crew :)
You were the creator that introduced me to minecraft more in 2013, I'm so glad to have grown up with you. I was like 2nd grade back when I watched you and now I'm in my graduating year in senior high school. Thank you for revisiting those worlds! It gave me some type of solace from back then.
Simply beautiful Squid. When Sky Island came on with the minecraft music I've been hit with nostalgia, made me even a bit teary lol. Wish I could've appreciated those days more but ey, I'm ready for some new content from you.
Can't belive its been 10 years since some of these. i remember watching this when i was just 7-8 now i'm 18 this year. Thank you for being there through my toughest and best moments.
i watched ur skyrim series years ago... i started streaming it and met my best friends in the chat i thank you so much im playing skyrim with my little brother im 18 now and hes 15 and u still get brought up while we play...never forget the day ur horse was killed by wolfs little me cried over it lol
bro the sky grid series brings back so many memories. sky island challenge was AMAZING as well, u don’t understand all these maps you’ve played on brings back so so so many sweet memories :’). absolutely loved having you as one of my main childhood youtubers ❤️
Oh my god. This has just made so many memories come flooding back. When you brought up the Under The Sea set I genuinely started crying. This is the ultimate nostalgia masterpiece. I started watching Sky Island when I was 8! I turn 20 this year 🥲. I cannot tell you how much that series specifically meant to me. Even tried making my own but it just wasn’t as good 😂. Since a lot of the creators I watched when I was younger have decided to step back/step down from UA-cam, this just seems like the perfect reason to go back and visit everything else from my childhood. I can’t wait to see the finished worlds. Thank you for everything Squid, I wish the best for you and your family, you deserve it! ❤
Great nostalgia video Squid. You should have put in clips from your old videos pertaining to each world, but I guess we will have to search your UA-cam archive ourselves. Hope you feel better soon.
Listening to the peaceful minecraft music while squid talks about all the memories he had on his sky island, honestly made me start to cry. Not because it’s over now or anything but because I’m so happy I got to grow up with his videos and relate to how amazing it was back then.
Honestly you were the first person to really introduce me to Minecraft. I was like five maybe when I saw your first video's. Instantly fell in love. Glad to still be around all these years later.
I vividly remember when I was younger hearing about your account getting hacked, and if I do remember correctly, losing access to the sky island for a bit. It honestly feels great to hear that all these worlds are finally back, the quick builds were another great favourite of mine.
the mix of the memories of the old words and the nostalgic minecraft music is an indescribable feeling and it’s 2024 now. started watching squiddy when i was around 7-8 and now i’m 18 and in university. thank you for all the memories big man❤️
Your videos and these worlds shaped my childhood and probably who I am today each day I would get home from school and check if there was a new video. Thank you squid for being a great person. And I think I can safely say from everyone that watched and still watches your videos thank you for being part of our childhood and thank you for bringing it back.
Just like a ton of other people, your sky island world really influenced me into playing Minecraft. I remember being young, and asking my older brothers girlfriend if she can write me a list of things to do, just like how you had tasks in your series. After that I started watching everything Minecraft, and I remember loving all of your pixelmon videos. I don't think I would be who I am today without watching iBallisticSquid as a young kid. Thank you for Everything you do.
The under the sea video was the first video I saw from you and stampy and started an obsession with you guys at age 10 all the way through junior high. I’m 20 now. Time flies!
Hearing Mice on Venus while you explored the sky island really took me back, I’m definitely gonna go and rewatch the series now, it’s probably been 5 years since I watched an episode
So much nostalgia here for me. A lovely trip back into my childhood! Looking forward to checking out the preserved gallery world when it’s released. As a funny aside, the helicopter pad in the Sky Island Challenge world is the reason I, a North American, pronounce the letter H as “haych” instead of “aych”. “H-pad” was said enough times in the series that it just stuck with kid me. 😅
I remember watching your sky island challenge and your series with Stampy years ago and getting into playing minecraft myself and to this day I still love the game but it's not the same game in the slightest anymore. It's so crazy to see all of this! It's like watching my childhood in a time capsule
OH MY GOD THE HALLOWEEN SLENDER AREA, i fully remember the video so clearly!!! So strange seeing you interact with the memorable areas so recently. I’m glad this world and this channel existed when I was a kid. Couldn’t have imagined spending my time with anything else growing up
Said this in a comment many months back but I'll say it here too;
Your Xbox 360 Sky Island series, way way almost 11 years ago, is why I'm still into Minecraft today.
Genuinely, it's because of that series I bugged my parents to buy an Xbox 360, bought a One S a few years later, bought the Forza Horizon games, then got into cars, bought my first ever car, and eventually went into an engineering career because of that passion.
In a way, you started that, so, thank you Squid!
Cool story. Nice way to get a job
I do coding and game design now haha :D thanks squid!/1❤ ❤❤🎉❤❤❤
Bro same you just described my life
That’s beautiful 🥲
Stampy's Sky Island series is the entire reason I got into minecraft in the first place! -FM
There’s just something magical about revisiting old Minecraft worlds, to see what it was like back when Minecraft was new and too see all the creative things the players made. This is why Minecraft will always be one of the most creative games ever made. Thanks Squid, for bring back a lot of childhood memories and hopefully you’ll feel better soon.
It's like finding an old scrapbook, pics of your youngerself with your old Xbox console, only to find your old Xbox dusted over but still runs
I almost get the same feeling when I find old pictures that I drew when I was younger, stuffed deep in my room.
🥰🥲

Sameeee
Started watching squid bc of stamps but I was there for a long time, just turned 21 😢😂
It’s crazy how many people lives they shaped. Those guys practically raised me. I wouldn’t have survived the transition to highschool if it wasn’t for my escape at the end of the day
15:09 "THERE'S A HOLE IN MY HULA HOOP" that brought back memories XD

Must have been so emotional repairing the sky island world. Absolutely unreal.
I’m so happy to see you got back to your old worlds! Your sky island was so cool, I used to try and recreate it at home on my iPad! It feels so nice to see this now that I’m grown up
Same!!! On the old Pocket Edition lol

One of my core memories is sitting on my couch watching the vid at 12:42 and eating Krave cereal around winter as a kid, I’m 20 this year. This video was bittersweet, scary how fast time goes by
Time to go back into time and rewatch the sky island series, and pretend I am young again. Thanks squid for all the good memories of when things felt simpler.
Man it’s been years since I haven’t seen you in awhile I’m glad you’re still okay even though you’re sick I hope you get better soon squid I missed your videos lol my childhood
I could actually cry right now… it really took me back when you showed the old sky island, I can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put into putting all of these memories together! I grew up watching you and stamps and this video just made me so happy!❤
Squiddy got me into minecraft when I was almost 6, and now 11 years later, I still play it often with my dad. Adventuring new worlds, mining together, building cool new bases all because I stumbled upon this beautiful channel all those years ago on my mom's tablet. Thank you Squid, for everything you've done and will do in the years to come.
I so glad you found it loved the sky island series you should try doing a season 2 version of it
Oh a lee statue thats weird to see
God I didn’t think I’d start crying. I have watched you and stampy since I was i think 8-9 years old, I’m now 23 years old. this is amazing so many memories I miss you guys a lot. It broke my heart seeing y’all’s last episode together. But I’m happy I can go back in time and watch the episodes all over again if I want.
Squid. I thank you for my childhood. Both you and Stampy. Still love watching your new videos when they come out. Keep up the good work lad.
That Lee statue did not age well
Wdym
Old minecraft worlds will always be nostalgic!
this video really means a lot. I remember watching you and the whole gang play back in the day and it truly was amazing. I’m 20 now and time really does fly. Thank you for a great childhood.
Bro I swear every time I look at these old worlds I almost cry.
I never cry, but these almost make me shed tears, thank you so much for an amazing childhood.
Seeing squid bring back memories is just amazing
Under 5 mins gang
could've sworn the sky island wasn't a sky island anymore
You're correct, I think he just reseted it back to when it was in the sky.
when i was a kid i was always so sad when I could play copies of stampys world but never copies of the sky island challenge. Years later these are still some of the happiest memories i've ever had, watching your videos. I can't wait to see the world, whenever it comes it
may have to binge the nostalgic series again for the one of many times. thank you for our memories squiddy, we appreciate you more than anything.
POV: you clicked cause you saw that Lee Bear statue on the thumbnail
Lee bear.
im glad that you and stampy were the people that i grew up watching. thank you, ive been a fan of yall for 10 years now, and ill forever will be.
this was a blast from the past, only amplified by the original music, jesus i didn't think i'd get as emotional as i did...
now i have a sudden urge to go back and rewatch old adventure maps, to rewatch building time, the quest series, building time, crazy craft, race to the moon... oh boy was there a lot
I’m surprised he put lee in the thumbnail despite controversy
Your skyisland series was the first proper Minecraft series I watched, I started with the cake factory episode. You inspired my siblings and I to start our own skyisland world (which we made in creative mode) and still play on over 10 years later! It's so cool to see your old world and how simple it is compared to modern Minecraft "mega" builds. Looking forward to when those worlds are public. Thanks for the mems squid!
Oh my goodness, I remember the Sky Island Challenge series so vividly.
One very vivid memory I have with this series is watching the video where Auntie Squid died, and I genuinely started to cry alongside you guys in the video.
(This was like, back in 2013-2014, pretty late at night, when I wasn’t supposed to be watching YT, so it was easy to get emotional, lol.)
I remember going into the bathroom to get tissues or something, and looking in the mirror, with tears going down my face, like:
“No, Auntie Squid. Auntie Squid.😢”
Let’s just say I was super happy when you guys discovered Auntie Squid wasn’t actually dead, and she started yelling at you for trying to bury her. 😂
The Sky Island Challenge world hit very hard, especially with the old Minecraft music in the background. I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you so much Squid for so many amazing memories, I'm so glad that you're still around making people smile today just as you did back then. Much love.
Oh man, this really brings me back. I can only imagine the emotion you felt off camera reliving old memories. Where did the times go. Watched these videos and enjoyed you, Stampy, Ash, Amy Lee, and who ever else you guys had included when I was about 4 years old, anyway I turn 17 this year and I miss bein a kid when things were simple and everyday when I came home from kindergarten I could just get on my tablet or kindle fire or whatever and watch some of Squid's ol modded series or sky island videos or whatever. Race to the Moon was personally my favorite 😉
Saw this on my recommended, glad I came across, hope you’ve been doing good squidy, the memories as a child have came back!❤️
the effort you put in to rebuild the sky island isn't unnoticed. what beautiful times you all have created and shared with us. I am so happy to have been a fan when I was a kid, I can look back on these videos and get to relive that nostalgic happiness. I have so much love for you and stampy, and the rest of your crew :)
You were the creator that introduced me to minecraft more in 2013, I'm so glad to have grown up with you. I was like 2nd grade back when I watched you and now I'm in my graduating year in senior high school. Thank you for revisiting those worlds! It gave me some type of solace from back then.
Simply beautiful Squid. When Sky Island came on with the minecraft music I've been hit with nostalgia, made me even a bit teary lol. Wish I could've appreciated those days more but ey, I'm ready for some new content from you.
Gosh, I’m turning 20 this year… I have watched you and Stampy since 2012. You made my childhood great. Thank you Squid💙
Can't belive its been 10 years since some of these. i remember watching this when i was just 7-8 now i'm 18 this year. Thank you for being there through my toughest and best moments.
i watched ur skyrim series years ago... i started streaming it and met my best friends in the chat i thank you so much im playing skyrim with my little brother im 18 now and hes 15 and u still get brought up while we play...never forget the day ur horse was killed by wolfs little me cried over it lol
bro the sky grid series brings back so many memories. sky island challenge was AMAZING as well, u don’t understand all these maps you’ve played on brings back so so so many sweet memories :’). absolutely loved having you as one of my main childhood youtubers ❤️
Oh my god. This has just made so many memories come flooding back.
When you brought up the Under The Sea set I genuinely started crying. This is the ultimate nostalgia masterpiece.
I started watching Sky Island when I was 8! I turn 20 this year 🥲. I cannot tell you how much that series specifically meant to me. Even tried making my own but it just wasn’t as good 😂.
Since a lot of the creators I watched when I was younger have decided to step back/step down from UA-cam, this just seems like the perfect reason to go back and visit everything else from my childhood.
I can’t wait to see the finished worlds.
Thank you for everything Squid, I wish the best for you and your family, you deserve it! ❤
Great nostalgia video Squid. You should have put in clips from your old videos pertaining to each world, but I guess we will have to search your UA-cam archive ourselves. Hope you feel better soon.
Got me crying at the last bit... there's just so much nostalgia involved with all these worlds.
There’s so much nostalgia idek how to feel 😂. I’m excited for the Squiddy Gallery tho, cant wait to walk through it
Listening to the peaceful minecraft music while squid talks about all the memories he had on his sky island, honestly made me start to cry. Not because it’s over now or anything but because I’m so happy I got to grow up with his videos and relate to how amazing it was back then.
Honestly you were the first person to really introduce me to Minecraft. I was like five maybe when I saw your first video's. Instantly fell in love. Glad to still be around all these years later.
It was awesome to see u got everything back and it was emotional hearing u talk about Lee really miss him hope he’s doing ok
Brrrrrroooooooo coming back this is crazy most my builds rn are because of you the nostalgia
I vividly remember when I was younger hearing about your account getting hacked, and if I do remember correctly, losing access to the sky island for a bit. It honestly feels great to hear that all these worlds are finally back, the quick builds were another great favourite of mine.
The feeling of nostalgia when you're seeing the the sky island for the first time in 10 years with the minecraft OST playing is just crazy
the mix of the memories of the old words and the nostalgic minecraft music is an indescribable feeling and it’s 2024 now. started watching squiddy when i was around 7-8 and now i’m 18 and in university. thank you for all the memories big man❤️
Your videos and these worlds shaped my childhood and probably who I am today each day I would get home from school and check if there was a new video. Thank you squid for being a great person. And I think I can safely say from everyone that watched and still watches your videos thank you for being part of our childhood and thank you for bringing it back.
Just like a ton of other people, your sky island world really influenced me into playing Minecraft. I remember being young, and asking my older brothers girlfriend if she can write me a list of things to do, just like how you had tasks in your series. After that I started watching everything Minecraft, and I remember loving all of your pixelmon videos. I don't think I would be who I am today without watching iBallisticSquid as a young kid.
Thank you for Everything you do.
The under the sea video was the first video I saw from you and stampy and started an obsession with you guys at age 10 all the way through junior high. I’m 20 now. Time flies!
Funnily enough, Squid, I am ALSO ill right now, so getting to go through these old worlds I haven't seen in years with you was perfect
i havent watched squid in like 9 years and i am now CRYING with joy at the amount of nostalgia this video gave me oh my god
Sky Grid was such a huge series for me and my brother! I have tones of very fond and nostalgic memories watching that series with my brother.
Hearing Mice on Venus while you explored the sky island really took me back, I’m definitely gonna go and rewatch the series now, it’s probably been 5 years since I watched an episode
So much nostalgia here for me. A lovely trip back into my childhood! Looking forward to checking out the preserved gallery world when it’s released.
As a funny aside, the helicopter pad in the Sky Island Challenge world is the reason I, a North American, pronounce the letter H as “haych” instead of “aych”. “H-pad” was said enough times in the series that it just stuck with kid me. 😅
I remember watching your sky island challenge and your series with Stampy years ago and getting into playing minecraft myself and to this day I still love the game but it's not the same game in the slightest anymore. It's so crazy to see all of this! It's like watching my childhood in a time capsule
I am so excited to relive this- thank you for everything you’ve done!
OH MY GOD THE HALLOWEEN SLENDER AREA, i fully remember the video so clearly!!! So strange seeing you interact with the memorable areas so recently. I’m glad this world and this channel existed when I was a kid. Couldn’t have imagined spending my time with anything else growing up
Wow, this brings back so many good memories, always loved watching Stampy and squid playing Minecraft
