History TearJerker / PBGHardcore

** Speaking of him, [[spoiler:[=SpaceHamster=]]] has been through WAY too much in this particular Hardcore. [[spoiler: Look at the game from Jeff's perspective. He started off with six of his friends to find the Elytra, and poor Jeff was either present or involved with everyone's deaths. During Barry's death, he himself was poisoned so much that he couldn't help him from assisting him, though Dean calls him out for it. After Jeff chickened out of getting the [[ItMakesSenseInContext danger water]], ProJared dies in lava, and Dean and Ray started blaming him for his death (albeit probably in a joking manner). When the group splits in the Nether, he watched Dean and [=McJones=] die in lava and by fire respectively, unable to do anything. He immediately backed up into the area where Ray dies. In fact, Jeff was next to him as he received the killing blow. And last, but certainly not least, when [=PBG=] couldn't have been any closer, he watched the last group member be killed in a flash, leaving him all by himself. And unlike most other hardcores, every death shakes up the group's morale to a noticeable degree. Now, he's the only one to bear that weight all the way through. Whether he completes his mission or not, someone give this man a hug.]]

** Even though the group as a whole was doing well, [[spoiler:Dean finally dies in Episode 22.]] This one hits hard because [[spoiler:he was always the first person to watch for others standing on spikes saving Luke twice, yet he didn't watch his own health.]]

** The finale ends on a Pyrrhic note, as [[spoiler:the group defeats the Wall of Flesh only to get massacred by a goblin army when they arrive back home. Everyone, [[LampshadeHanging including [=McJones=] in-game and post-death,]] comments on how unsatisfying the victory was]].

** Considering [[spoiler:PBG indeed became the next to die three episodes later,]] this doubles as [[spoiler:HarsherInHindsight.]]

* ''Minecraft #5'' is special, as unlike MANY deaths in other Hardcore series, EVERY death hits hard, in many different ways.

** [[spoiler: It took a while, but on Episode 13, Dean died. In said episode, the remaining survivors split into two groups, one of them was Ray, Jeff, and Dean. Partway through the episode, the group's making a new path in the fortress while looking for the Nether Wart, when Ray accidentally unearths some of the lava, said lava engulfs Dean, and he sadly burns to death. Worse yet, because of the angle of the lava (Dean was boxed in a corner when the leak first started, and was ultimately trapped dead centre of a pool of lava several blocks wide that surrounded him from all sides), Ray and Jeff can do nothing but look on as he dies, try as they might.]]

* ''Minecraft #5'':

*** [[spoiler: PBG's bloodcurdling scream and anguished BigNo as he dies is just painful to listen to. Especially since Jeff saw the Creeper just a fraction of a second too late to save PBG, and that Jeff was just inches away from getting caught in the blast himself. Just when things were looking up, the game twists the knife.]]

*** It's more upsetting when you consider that [[spoiler:PBG is the next to die.]]

--> '''PBG''': Who better to ''die'' than ''me?!''

*** On his search for the stronghold, [[spoiler:Jeff]] finds a group of wolves he befriends with all of the bones he got from fighting skeletons. However, [[spoiler: most of them eventually die off during Jeff's search through the stronghold for the End Portal, usually via falling death or drowning in lava. The few he does manage to bring with him to the End predictably get killed by the Ender Dragon.]]

** [[spoiler: While Jeff's death was [[TooDumbtoLive stupid]] and [[EpicFail hilarious]], Yungtown, [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom who gave him the grappling hook that resulted in his death mere seconds later]], is audibly crushed, made worse by the fact that Jeff splatted just meters away from him. While it's obvious that the rest of the team doesn't blame him, [[ItsAllMyFault it definitely sounds like, on some level, he blames himself]].]]
