Kurtjmac started off doing a typical [[LetsPlay Let's Play]] of {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}. Then, in episode 11 he decided to head off to the Far Lands, a point where the game, when far enough from the spawn point, completely bugs out. The series, Far Lands or Bust, is currently being done to raise money for [[ChildsPlay Child's Play]] Charity.

->''"Hello, ladies and gentlemen! My name is Kurt, and welcome back to Far Lands or Bust!"''
-->--'''Kurt, at the beginning of every video'''

Kurtjmac started off doing a typical [[LetsPlay Let's Play]] of {{VideoGame/Minecraft}}. Then, in episode 11 he decided to head off to the Far Lands, a point where the game, when far enough from the spawn point, completely bugs out. The series, Far Lands or Bust, is currently being done to raise money for [[ChildsPlay Child's Play]] Charity.

!!Tropes that apply to Kurtjmac:
* {{Adorkable}}: When making the Lego Space Shuttle for the 25000 subscriber special.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Kurt is often sidetracked from his speaking by something that happens in the game. Usually due to mobs or terrain.
** Justified in the case of the terrain, since that's part of the reason he's doing FLOB.
* BeyondTheImpossible: Walking to the Far Lands, without mods or assistance.
* CatchPhrase: Several. "You are dead, sir!"; "INDEED!"; "Gigigigi!"
* CozyVoiceForCatastrophes
* [[spoiler:FakeKillScare]]: [[spoiler:The entirety of]] Episode 120 [[spoiler:for Wolfie. The episode, titled "Left Behind" and featuring what appeared to be a grave marker in the episode icon, has Kurt nearly dying as he falls into a deep pit partway through, with Wolfie barely avoiding the same fate. The yellow text warns that it won't be the last scare of the episode. Later on, he leaves Wolfie sitting down after feeding him and doesn't notice until night has fallen. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Kurt then braves his way through the dark to get back to Wolfie.]] For bonus points, Kurt posted a Far Lands or Bust {{Flashback}} episode showing his first meeting with Wolfie right before posting Episode 120.]]
* FunWithSubtitles
* GoshdangItToHeck: Most often when Wolfie breaks his boats or knocks him off a cliff:
-->'''Kurt:''' God Bless America, Wolfie!
** averted when he [[spoiler: dug out unsupported sand, while he was standing on it. The reaction was repeated [[{{ClusterFBomb}} "OH ****!"]], and this scene is the subject of one FLOB Flashback]]
** In his Let's Play of Driver: San Francisco, he'll do this when narrowing avoiding disastrous crashes or trying to lose to cops.
--> '''Kurt:''' Oh...sugar!
* [[LetsPlay Let's Play]]: Aside from Far Lands or Bust and the other Minecraft worlds he does videos of, Kurt has also made Let's Plays of a few other series, such as [[TombRaider Tomb Raider: Anniversary]], {{GRID}}, and {{VideoGame/Kerbal Space Program}}.
* LiveEpisode: The "8-hour 20-minute Livestream for Child's Play Charity", which was an official continuation of Far Lands or Bust.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Wolfie
* OneOfUs: Besides the obvious, he's very interested in astronomy.
* RecapEpisode: Is done occasionally to get new subscribers up to speed on the series, but done through Kurt's narration rather than clips.
** He has recently uploaded a few FLOB Flashbacks, which are short clips of memorable moments (such as discovering the Canyon of Whoa)
* TemporalParadox: [[spoiler:The Wolfie clone and pre-made Hidey Hole]] in Episode 36. In the following episode, [[spoiler:Kurt reveals that this occurred due to a glitch in Minecraft where he had scrapped his first take of the episode and reloaded a previous save, but Minecraft kept the changes to the world he had made in the original take.]]
* ThreeDimensionalEpisode: The 100th Episode of Far Lands or Bust is this.
* WeirdMoon: A few episodes have featured Kurt discussing the oddities of Minecraft's moon, and his attempts to figure out how it could potentially work like it does.
* VerbalTic: "... INDEED." and "Ah!"
