Simon Lane is the co-founder of the Yogscast, and known for co-op Let's Play series of numerous games, including World of Warcraft and Minecraft, to which he frequently pairs up with Lewis Brindley. He also participates in the Creepy O'Clock series of horror game Let's Plays with Hannah Rutherford. Along with Lewis, he hosts the podcast The YoGPoD.Frequently known for his ineptness at video games, including Minecraft, since he began playing in 2010. Lewis' introduction of Simon's wit to the Internet in useless How-to guides for World of Warcraft bosses is generally cited as the reason for the Yogscast's existence.Due to his Minecraft skin being a stereotypical dwarf, Simon roleplays as a dwarf of Khaz Modan (a nod to his long-standing fandom of World of Warcraft) sometimes known as Honeydew in various Minecraft series.His YouTube channel (shared with Lewis) can be found here. | |

Tempting Fate | |
Simon Lane (Lets Play) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: In the Space Engineers videos, Lewis walks Simon through the piloting controls. Simon quickly notices that his ship loses speed when he's not accelerating, so Lewis tells him to turn off the inertia dampeners followed by a warning: "The amount of energy you put into speeding up is the same amount of energy you need to put into slowing down. So be careful." Immediately after Lewis finishes this sentence, Simon comes careening in from the edge of Lewis' POV and crashes into their Space Labs sign at ~80 km/h. The rest of the episode is basically Simon trashing their base with similarly clumsy piloting. | |

Combat Pragmatist: When playing as the murderer in Garry's Mod, he can be surprisingly skilled and pragmatic, often stabbing people in the back and waiting for them to turn on someone else before making his move. This is an acquired trope since his initial strategy was to go in screaming. | |

Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated | |
Simon Lane (Lets Play) / int_5501256b | comment |
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Due to Shadow of Israphel going on hiatus, a rumour started circulating that Simon had died and that was the reason for it. Fans naturally started believing it, in no small part due to the Google Plus transition allowing imitators and spam accounts to circulate the rumour. This was considered the final straw, and comments on his and Lewis' channels were banned for two months. In 2015, loose tongues on Reddit began circulating rumors of his death again when Simon was in the hospital and out of Yogscast videos from March through September. | |

Minor Injury Overreaction: He tends to scream loudly even if he receives a minor wound in-game. Suffering from mild burns in TTT is enough to get him to scream, as is a punch in Minecraft if he isn't expecting it. | |

Token Evil Teammate: Compare him to Lewis and Duncan, who are productive and fairly competent. Simon, on the other hand, murders the others for petty reasons, sets things alight, uses TNT to "solve problems" and is rude to the others (albeit not entirely seriously). His performance in Trouble in Terrorist Town is also fairly bad, with a lot of Unfriendly Fire. Ironically inverted for YogLabs, in which Lewis is manipulating the unwitting Simon. | |

Token Good Teammate: For YogLabs, he's the only one with a moral compass; while some of the science team have varying standards, they still experiment on others willingly. Simon is mostly an Unwitting Pawn, and eventually rebels after Lewis orders him to destroy a village with some TNT-firing weaponry, later trying to release a group of commandos (though he ends up killing most of them). Since clone #0028 ends up dying in the process, clone #0029 continues as normal. | |

Simon Lane (Lets Play) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Despite starting out as an incompetent gamer, Simon has managed to catch up with the others in some respects. His Minecraft skills are considerably better than they used to be. Compare his building in Tekkit to Galacticraft, when he builds a fantastic airship and later designs a good way to harvest pigs for building a base out of ham. Initially, his performance in Murder is subpar, since he simply charges at opponents screaming at the top of his lungs, which gets him shot early on. Later, he calms down and manages to get quite a few wins as the murderer, all while being focused and unusually efficient. While his performance as an innocent terrorist is subpar, as a traitor Simon has learned some decent strategic moves. | |

Epic Fail | |
Simon Lane (Lets Play) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: His efforts to build a Santa on top of the Jaffa Factory were quite simply dreadful. Initially, he wraps the belt below its bottom (causing the usually deadpan Sips to burst out laughing for several minutes), then makes its face look like (posthumously-exposed child molester) Jimmy Savile. When Duncan points out the latter, Simon reacts with horror. Crashed into the moon in MoonQuest. In JaffaQuest 105, he undid several episodes of hard work. How did he do this? He tried launching the rocket inside the factory "museum tour", causing a huge explosion and destroying the entire factory. The explosion was so big that it caused at least two of their games to crash. While he at least has the excuse of not knowing that it was fuelled, he didn't even bother checking. His introduction to Murder involves him charging around, screaming at the top of his lungs with a knife out. Given how Murder requires the main antagonist to be cautious and more subtle, he was gunned down more or less instantly. He did improve afterward, mind, but he still set the tone for the rest of the video. In Hole Diggers, tried to launch a rocket into space before it was finished fueling, leading to it running out of fuel half-way and crashing back into the ocean. Simon and rockets just don't seem to mix. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Due to Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!, this happens a few times: Played with in Yoglabs when he sees Israphel in Lewis' clothes during "Yogdonalds". While he understandably gets a bit panicked and confused, he forgets about this later. When playing "Nightmare Church" in Garry's Mod, his reaction to a cat in the microwave is one of disinterest. | |

The Load: Does this a bit in the Magicka and Trine 2 Lets Plays with Lewis Brindley and TotalBiscuit, though it's likely that he's intentionally trolling him. While hardly useless in the Jaffa Factory series, he does less work than Lewis or Duncan Jones and spends a lot of his time easily distracted, forcing them to get him back on track. | |
