* The Twitter meltdown that ''almost'' lead to him and [[WebVideo/JonTron Jon]] to stop being friends. Without going [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement into details]], some disputes lead to Jon and Austin delivering some ''very'' hateful replies which lead fans to worry if the two were really done being friends. It goes into [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming mode]] when Austin apologized to everyone on Twitter and Jon, which lead to Jon telling him all was water under the bridge and they should go out for a drink next time.

** The battle against [[spoiler: Steven]] has the death of [[spoiler: Lafawnda, who could have defeated the Mega Metalgross, had PBG chosen to attack once more instead of healing. Especially bad, since this left PBG with only Bee and [[TheUnfavorite Nimnat]] as a team. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome And then he still won]].]]

* Given its nature, it's hardly surprising that PBG's Nuzlocke of Pokemon [=AlphaSapphire=] would be prone to these.

* Austin mourning the loss of his dog Namira, who had appeared in many of his videos, To the point where in his ''Goodwill Games #2'', he was seen wearing her dog tag.

* ''Minecraft Hardcore #2'':
** In Episode 13, [[spoiler:Jared sacrifices himself to protect PBG from a creeper's explosion.]]
** In Episode 20, [[spoiler:Barry losing all his friends and [[SanitySlippage slowly going mad]].]]
* ''Diablo 2 Hardcore'': Paul and Jirard's reactions to [[spoiler: [=McJones=]'s death]].
* ''[=MineZ=] Hardcore'':
** In Episode 9, the group says a tearful goodbye to [[spoiler:PBG and [=McJones=], who have been infected and are being [[HeroicSacrifice left inside the cavern]] so that [[TheNeedsOfTheMany the others won't be held down by them]]. As they leave, they note that they will probably never see PBG and [=McJones=] again. [[DownerEnding They were right.]]]]
** In Episode 11, the group continues forward after [[spoiler: leaving Dean on a pirate ship after he gets infected for a third time in the series]]. Afterwards, they reach a small town and, while there are zombies, they manage to get hold of some good gear. Things seem to be looking up for the group, when, [[spoiler:out of nowhere, Jared screams "PIG ZOMBIE!" before being immediately killed by the resulting explosion, just as the group is ambushed by more zombies.]]
** And now we have Episode 14, where [[spoiler: [=McJones=] dies and PBG is forced to kill his own brother's zombie. Complete with sorrowful music (although it does keep getting interrupted when [[MoodWhiplash [=McJones's=] zombie refuses to stand still]]) and PBG saying a sorrowful goodbye.]]
--> [[spoiler:'''PBG''']]: [[spoiler:[=McJones=]]]... I'm sorry...
** In Episode 16, [[spoiler:Barry becomes the SoleSurvivor ''yet again'' after his two comrades have fallen in battle]]. One of the saddest parts of the whole fight is [[spoiler:Barry]] watching [[spoiler:Ian]]'s zombie slowly advance towards him.
-->'''[[spoiler:Barry]]''': Not like this... Not like this! ''Not like this!!''
* ''Minecraft Hardcore #4'':
** In Episode 11, [[spoiler:Caddy's death at the hands of a crowd of zombie pigmen after falling behind the group while Dean watches and screams in horror is quite sad.]]
-->'''Caddy''': [[spoiler:I'm so sorry, I panicked, I panicked!]]\\
'''Dean''': [[spoiler:''Oh no! '''Caddy!''''' FUCK!]]\\
''[Afterwards:]''\\
'''Dean''': Oh, my heart... [[spoiler:I watched him die, he got surrounded]].\\
'''PBG''': [[spoiler:Aw, no, Caddy...]]
*** Just think [[spoiler: if this was shown in a realistic way... Caddy's death would double as nightmare fuel.]]

** The battle against [[spoiler: Steven]] has the death of [[spoiler: Lafawnda, who could have defeated the Mega Metalgross, had PBG chosen to attack once more instead of healing. Especially bad, since this left PBG with only Bee and [[TheUnfavorite Nimnat]] as a team. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome And then he still won]].]]
* In "Minecraft Hardcore #5":
** [[spoiler: Barry's death. After falling into a spiderweb, he gets poisoned and gets left with half a heart, with a Cave Spider spawner next to him and a Cave Spider immediately behind the spawner. In other words, he was left immobilized by the web, and nearly dead. And with a final HeroicSacrifice, he breaks the spawner, and though he attempts to kill the spider after, he ultimately gets attacked and dies.]]
*** What makes it even more tragic is that [[spoiler: by looking at his screen, he's frantically clicking, trying to bat the spider away, even though it's more efficient to do solid swipes. He's panicking the entire time, trying to stay alive.]]
** [[spoiler: Jared's death. In Episode 9, the group's back in the mine, and near the episode's end, Jared is ambushed by a spider, knocked into lava, and burnt to death. As he burns, Jared attempts to at least get his valuable Diamond Sword to safety so the rest of the group can use it. He fails to do so and it ends up burning with most of his gear. Making it worse is the next episode preview where the group argues about who caused his death.]]
*** [[spoiler: As if losing Jared wasn't enough, Episode 10 [[PlayerPunch really hammers the nail in]], first with a shot of him going up in flames from PBG's perspective, and [[ILetGwenStacyDie his feelings of guilt for being helpless to save him]], and minutes later with a moving tribute showcasing his highlights throughout the series.]]

** [[spoiler: It took 13 episodes, 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.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 15, oh boy was it a game changer, first off, it starts at a high note as the group of 4 escape the Pigmen and make it to the fortress, it only goes downhill from there, after a ongoing battle, Ray and [=McJones=] are now dead from wither poisoning and burns respectively, with Austin and Jeff nearly dying as well. They're now stuck in the middle of the battle, with little chance of survival.]]
*** [[spoiler: The episode ends with a flashback reel of the team joyously starting off in Episode 1, followed by all of the deaths thus far. The last thing we see is the chibi graveyard, with five graves.]]
*** Special attention to the [[spoiler: [=EXTREMELY=] somber music that plays after Ray's death.]]
** For a while, the [[spoiler: duo of Austin/PBG and Jeff]] were doing well, but on [[spoiler: Episode 20, Austin is blown up from behind by a creeper. To say that Jeff doesn't take it that well is quite the understatement.]] The music and flashbacks do not help.
*** [[spoiler: What's worse was that he was at full health with a diamond chestplate (as well as being just one and a half Armour from the cap) when he was killed, which makes the surprise all the more sudden and heartbreaking.]]
*** [[spoiler: Jeff's anguished BigNo as PBG dies is just painful to listen to. Especially since he saw the Creeper just a fraction of a second too late to save him, and that he was just inches away from getting caught in the blast himself. Just when things were looking up, the game twists the knife.]]
** Speaking of him, [=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.]]
