hermitcraftI recently watched the "100 Hours in Hardcore Minecraft" series by Scar (Scar why are your playlists so often out of order), Grian (Grian why do you not have a playlist yourself), and Joel Smallishbeans (good job Joel) that they did about a year and a half ago and I enjoyed it a lot. Some notes of my favorite parts under the cut, including some thoughts on how this fits with Life Series chronology.
- I started with Scar, who seemingly not even realizes Grian is (pretending he was) planning a solo series xD
- iirc Scar also didn't even show in his own series that he left a housewarming present of a TNT trap for both Grian and Joel
- knowing this is set between Last and Double Life makes this so much better. Of course Scar steals the enchanter! And wow this puts Grian's dread in DL of being paired with Scar again into even more context
- SCAR. Why does he build the most dangerous base in hardcore!! Scar logic. …it looks great though. Of course it does, it's Scar. And the roller coaster is very cool. But why does he decide to practice water bucket MLG in hardcore!! (...oh that is where he learned that.)
- Grian and Joel building a massive bed beneath Scar's base for his safety, aww ^^
- Scar trying to trade with and then blackmail Grian for a Feather Falling IV book even though Grian planned to gift him one from the start xD
- Jimmy visit and the Bad Boys burn down a mansion together, I didn't realize that part of Limited Life would be a throw back ^^ And Grian gets one-shot killed by a Vindicator because he gave his chestplate to Jimmy so he could wear an elytra instead, uh-oh, and instead of ending the series he decides to start over at zero.
- BigB and Scott and Lizzie all on the server for a few minutes before they die, and the only guest to survive their visit was Jimmy, of all people
- Scar made it almost fifty hours! …longer than Grian xDD
- Well, longer than Grian the first time. Grien, on the other hand, made it over 99 hours before being killed by his friends because he learned the wrong lesson from Grian's death and wore a chestplate instead of elytra and so could not fly away ^^
- Grien was so happy that Scar was back after a long absence due to surgery! …for about a minute :( Tragic.
- Joel calling his series the third favorite ^^ His castle looks fantastic.
- Joel naming his axolotls after things that are "hip and trendy": Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, and Technoblade. Perfect.
- Joel having so much spare diamond and netherite armor and elytra lying around that when they invite their friends on the server to kill them a few hours before the end they are fully equipped xD At least they're all agreed it's entirely Joel's fault.
- I love that Joel's sword is called "I have the power of god and anime on my side." And that he used it to kill Jimmy which was a priority of his. And then he blew himself up with a TNT minecart in very stupid fashion…
- Grien almost made it to 100 hours but not quite. I am not surprised.
Did you watch the series, and if so, what were your favorite parts?
