Minecraft Far Lands or Bust - #651 - Pre-Eclipse Jitters is the six-hundred sixth episode of Far Lands or Bust, and the eleventh episode of Season 7.
==Video Overview==
===Enceladus Down!===
Kurt leaves the Hidey Hole with Wolfie, and mentions the unplanned break between episodes. Enceladus, Kurt's older rendering computer (compared to his current Europa) suffered a graphics card failure. He noticed a few weeks prior some issues with it until the computer refused to start. Playing with drivers did nothing until Kurt got stuck in a start-up loop. Thinking he was screwed, Kurt got asked if he still had his even older computer from Illinois with a 8800 that is allowing him to continue to render. Some other stuff came up, but the series is back as it always is.
===The Total Solar Eclipse===
On Monday August 21, the total solar eclipse is coming across the continental United States. Kurt is going to Oregon State University's dorms in Corvallis, Oregon in order to watch the eclipse. He will see just under two minutes of totality, and the forecast looks good although Kurt is still worried about fog. Kurt is kind of glad that he will not be camping, and as he says that the game freezes. Kurt thinks that driving down will be okay, but is in fear about the return trip. Having heard incredible things about the experience, Kurt says that the whole country can see a partial eclipse. He advises that you have to use the eclipse glasses at all times, unless you are in the totality. Kurt tells people to be safe, because the blinding light of the sun can cause severe retinal damage. Not really planning to vlog, Kurt might use his GoPro for a time-lapse or totality for a memory. 2024 will have another solar eclipse going near the east coast that Kurt will perhaps plan for. 
===Question: You talked about wild animals in episode 650, have you ever had any encounters with wild animals on your hikes? Have you ever seen a bear, had encounters with snakes and lizards in Arizona?===
Kurt hasn't seen a bear, but saw a lot of elk. In the Grand Canyon a hailstorm went through, and caused elk to pop out as he drove back. He tries to get down a desert mountain, and Wolfie only takes a little bit of damage. Going back to the topic, Kurt says he definitely does not want to run into many dangerous wild animals.
===Question: What do you think about the coffee in Seattle?===
He gets into a discussion about the various roasts, and how dark and shiny beans mean a lot of the oil flavor has leeched out. From Intelligencia or Stumptown in Portland, the beans are lighter looking and in Kurt's opinion better. Kurt digs into the side of a mountain and thanks all his viewers.
