The Yogscast

The Yogscast are a network of YouTube broadcasters who produce gaming-related video content focused around their main YouTube channel, "YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon" (previously known as "BlueXephos"). The channel initially gained popularity with its videos about the MMO World of Warcraft, but have more recently come to be associated with sandbox game Minecraft, which the group helped bring to widespread attention. They are well known for their role playing series 'Shadow of Israphel' which was extremely popular in the early days of Minecraft.

History

The group was founded in July 2008 by Lewis Brindley. The name "The Yogscast" was derived from the title letters of his previous World of Warcraft guild, "Ye Olde Goone Squade". Videos posted on behalf of the guild were thus referred to as "Yogscasts", though the term eventually came to refer specifically to those posted by Brindley and co-host Simon Lane on the "BlueXephos" channel.

With these videos gaining popularity, other "Yogs" guild mates and associates requested that Brindley and Lane help them create YouTube channels of their own. Hannah Rutherford (colloquially Lomadia), Duncan Jones (Lalna) or (LividCoffee) Paul Sykes (Sjin) and Chris Lovasz (Sips) thus made channels alongside "BlueXephos" to form something of a Yogscast network. Since this point, many more content creators have joined the group, forming "The Yogscast Family".

High Rollers

High Rollers is an American television game show that involved players trying to win prizes by rolling dice. The format was based on the dice game Shut the Box.

High Rollers debuted on July 1, 1974 as part of NBC's daytime lineup. In September 1975, an accompanying series was launched in syndication and aired once weekly on local stations. Both of these series ended in 1976, with the daytime series ending on June 11, 1976. Alex Trebek, referred to on air as "the man with the action", was the host for these series. On April 24, 1978, NBC brought High Rollers back with Trebek hosting and aired it until June 20, 1980 when it was one of three series cancelled to make room for The David Letterman Show. The series was produced by Heatter-Quigley Productions.

In 1987 Merrill Heatter, working solo since his production partner Bob Quigley retired, teamed with Orion Television and its subsidiary Century Towers Productions to revive High Rollers with Wink Martindale, this time referred to as "the man with all the action", as host. This series premiered in daily syndication on September 14, 1987 and aired new episodes until May 27, 1988. Reruns aired until September 9, 1988.
