What is the Yogscast? The Yogscast is a popular gaming channel, which stars too comedic nearing middle aged men Simon and Lewis, and occasionally Hannah. They started out as a World of Warcraft guild, but when Lewis discovered Simons humour potential, he felt he needed to share him with the world, and so the Yogscast was born. YoG stands for Ye Olde Goones which was the name of their WoW Guild. The Yogscast focus on youtube videos now, but originally spent their time making the YoGPoD, a podcast on itunes, which can be downloaded for free, where they discussed utter drivel and just messed around. Now, they are most famous for their Minecraft series. There have been three major Minecraft series posted on their channel. The first one where they attempted to survive, the second based on a desserted island with limited resources where they had to survive, and the three, is called the Shadow of Israphel, where they continue their epic mission to save Daisy from the evil Israphel, amongst other quests.
