Look forward to a SOOOOOKY Halloween edition of Far Lands or Bust, where we really don't do too much in that theme at all. I wear a pumpkin! We turn off view-bobbing! We explosively open an underwater gateway to the depths of hell!

Seriously trying not to talk too much about YouTube Red but it is somewhat unavoidable since the only thing we can do is talk and guess about what it means since no information is coming direct from the horse's mouth. Since recording, YouTube did publish a blog post to creators, but all it contained is further marketing doublespeak and hollow assurances that "This is a good thing!"This is an audio...

Hello, dear Farlanders! Please, join in as we take a trip back down FLoB memory lane to a time when your trusty 3-D glasses wearing captain pulled back the curtain (Kurtain?) with more personal-ish, journal-style commentary!

Everyone be careful, that El Niño this year is already causing shenanigans already! Also, we learn a valuable lesson in choosing the correct vowel when spelling a word.

So, remember that thing called YouTube? Yeah, that was great while it lasted, right? But seriously, YouTube Red might very well end up being super-successful and finally fill the gap that low advertising revenue has left, bringing fair and much needed compensation to all YouTube creators. However, I can't seem to believe that this is probably the LEAST likely outcome of them all. This is an audio-...

The KurtJBeard isn't as grand as it once was, but that doesn't mean I'm not qualified to give beard product reviews and advice for fans! Also, let's try to remember all the obscure graphic design programs we used before Adobe took over the world.

It's a miracle today's episode happened at all! After three, count 'em THREE, failed attempts stymied by blue-screens and JAVA crashes, I finally think we can make it! Although, now we've given the Creepers four instances to try and stop us.

The charity widget had a bit of a hiccup on Monday, but everything is back up and running, so get donating! This also means I was indeed able to grab some new donor questions for this episode, along with a particular one by a suspicious "Not Esteban" character. Hmmm?

I tell you, this dog! Wolf! Guy! Somebody donates to charity on Wolfie's behalf and now he wont shut-up about it! Always interrupting me as if little Timmy fell down a well! SHEESH!

So many eclipses and moon phases in video games, so many chances to critique how wildly inaccurate they are! Who am I, the Neil Degrasse Tyson of gaming? Actually, that sounds quite bad ass.

In today's episode we answer a lot of Minecraft related questions from charity donors.

Hooray for milestones corresponding for the arbitrary base-ten numbering system! That's right, it has been 500 episodes since we left our Minecraft spawn to wander West toward the Far Lands.

It is probably not a brain tumor. Probably. Maybe. Whatever it is they call it Alice in Wonderland Syndrome and it causes me some freaky distorted perception when trying to sleep. After ruling out all possible diagnosis via Google, we continue the episode by learning what I really think of Furries.

"She's goin' down, captain! She just don't have any more powah!" is what I imagine the tiny little gnomes saying inside the Far Lands or Bust web servers as they became overloaded with traffic the past few days. Worry not, we've tossed some dead weight overboard (the map viewer) and donations to charity can resume unabated! Also, let's answers some awkward questions this episode. We've currently r...
