00:10My name is Kurt J. Mack,
00:12and my Guinness World Record title
00:14is The Longest Journey in Minecraft.
00:16I've been walking since 2011
00:18in one direction in Minecraft,
00:20and as of March 2014,
00:24I traveled 1,400,000 blocks from spawn.
00:29My first experience with Minecraft is
00:31I saw a comic on Penny Arcade about the game Minecraft
00:36and decided to check it out myself,
00:37and I learned a lot about Minecraft
00:39through watching other YouTube videos,
00:41and since then,
00:43I decided to try making YouTube videos myself.
00:46The original concept behind Far Lands of Us
00:49was actually just to be a standard Minecraft
00:51Let's Play series on YouTube,
00:53but I decided to try something different.
00:56The game Minecraft works on what's called procedural generation
01:00of the terrain.
01:01That is to say, there is a series of equations
01:05that determine the randomly generated terrain
01:08that a person is experiencing in the game.
01:11I heard people talking about Far Lands
01:14and how the game's terrain generation
01:16breaks down after a certain distance,
01:18and I decided it would be neat to try to walk there
01:21without teleporting yourself there
01:23or using any sort of cheats or mods
01:27because Notch, the game's creator,
01:29said that it would be pretty much impossible
01:30for anybody to experience or reach the Far Lands
01:33in normal play,
01:33so I took that as a challenge.
01:35I noticed that nobody was attempting to walk
01:37to these Far Lands,
01:39so by the 11th episode,
01:40I decided to drop everything near my spawn area,
01:44all my builds,
01:45all the things I had collected,
01:46and just start traveling in one direction,
01:48and I was really surprised at how many people
01:51started to catch up with that
01:52and become fans of that concept.
01:54Floating block of ice, floating block of ice,
01:57you are so magical.
02:00For my character in Far Lands or Bust,
02:03it really is me,
02:05just with the kind of skin as this adventurer
02:08who's on a lone journey
02:10but continues towards the destination
02:13even though the journey itself
02:14is what's most important
02:16and most interesting about the series.
02:18Cool.
02:19I like this area.
02:20I would like to settle down here
02:23and make a settlement.
02:24This is awesome.
02:26And it's almost become kind of a travel show.
02:30We see a cool mountain.
02:31We'll stop and take a screenshot to share,
02:34and as we continue on,
02:36we have to be careful about avoiding
02:38mobs like skeletons or lava lakes
02:41that could be dangerous to our journey.
02:44It has evolved so much
02:46that now I'm raising money for charity
02:49as the walk-a-thon continues
02:51and as more fans have their influence and input.
02:56Floating block of ice, floating block of ice,
02:59you are so magical.
03:02Floating block of ice, floating block of ice,
03:05you are so magical.
03:05If I could talk to my fans,
03:07I would just absolutely thank them
03:09for sticking around with me
03:10for as long as they have,
03:12doing this for four years.
03:13I could anticipate some of them
03:15getting a little bit bored with it,
03:17but a lot of them have been around
03:19since the beginning of Far Lands or Bust,
03:21and I try to do my best to thank them every episode
03:25for sticking with the series,
03:27for sharing the series with their family and friends,
03:29for obviously donating to the charity,
03:32and simply looking forward to the next milestone
03:35as much as I am on the way to the Far Lands in Minecraft.
03:39People do say and calculate based on the number of videos,
03:43and the length of videos that I release,
03:45that it will take up to another 20 years
03:47to reach the Far Lands in Minecraft.
03:50I obviously don't know what's going to happen in 20 years,
03:53what YouTube or the internet is even going to look like,
03:55but as long as I can continue making these videos,
03:59making the Far Lands a Bust series,
04:00I will continue walking to the Far Lands
04:03and raising money for charity.
04:05It feels really good to have a Guinness World Record title
04:08for the longest journey in Minecraft,
04:11because it was kind of an unexpected thing.
04:13It started off as a hobby,
04:15playing Minecraft and uploading the videos to YouTube,
04:18and since then, having grown so much
04:22and become part of what people talk about,
04:25that weird guy who's walking to the Far Lands
04:28and posting the videos on YouTube for the past four years,
04:31has really surprised me,
04:34and I can't wait to continue walking
04:36and continue growing the world record number
04:38for the longest journey in Minecraft.
