While most episodes of PewDiePie\u2019s massively popular Minecraft series detail the Swede\u2019s own adventures, he\u2019s also done collaborations with other YouTube creators including CinnamonToastKen. Usually, the two make videos with the \u2018Skyblock\u2019 map, which sees players generate a floating island with which they must build upon without falling down. Now the duo has taken on the popular \u2018Floor is Lava\u2019 challenge, and it\u2019s as epic as it sounds. The Floor is Lava challenge While the lava initially spawned slowly, the map soon was engulfed in flames as the two scrambled to build to safety. \u201cHere is a piece of stone to stand on, while we wait for our inevitable death. We didn\u2019t save anybody. I\u2019m sorry,\u201d the American YouTuber said. PewDiePie then looked down below and saw an Iron Golum and said \u201cStone Gollum is fine! Don\u2019t worry. Hold down the fort, bro!\u201d before quickly changing his tune. \u201cKen. I have a bad feeling about Stone Gollum\u201d as it became engulfed in flames. \u201cI\u2019m sorry bro,\u201d the Swede apologized as the creature met his fury death, setting the tone for the rest of the episode. The YouTube duo soon realized that they hadn\u2019t picked the best spot on the map to build. \u201cWe didn\u2019t even pick the highest spot! We gotta make it over there\u201d the Swede said. Ken jokingly came up with the genius idea of turning the lava into \u201cinfinite cobblestone\u201d if they only had water. \u201cOmg yes, we just need water\u201d the YouTube king said, pretending to spit. PewDiePie then joked that his excessive spitting would save the world from global warming. \u201cI have the high ground!\u201d In a hilarious moment, the two referenced the scene from \u2018Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith\u2019 which has become a popular meme online. PewDiePie ended up on a higher block looking down on his partner. \u201cI have the high ground CinnamonToastKen!\u201d he screamed.

You have the high ground?\u201d before trying to knock the Swede\u2019s block out from beneath him. \u201cScrew you Anakin, don\u2019t even try!\u201d Pewds laughed. His friend yelled \u201cScrew you ObiWan I\u2019m coming up there\u201d before missing his jump and falling to his death below. (Timestamp of 08:56 for mobile viewers.) The two eventually made it as far as they were willing to go before deciding that they would both jump to their death to the end the stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PewDiePie\u2019s Minecraft lava challenge reminds us the importance of having the high ground YouTube: PewDiePie \/ LucasfilmIn the August 16 episode of Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg\u2019s Minecraft series, the Swede teamed up with popular YouTube commentator Kenneth \u2018CinnamonToastKen\u2019 Morrison to tackle the \u2018Floor Is Lava\u2019 challenge.
