Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the whole idea of Minecraft, but I fell in love with it instantly. I watched a lot of "Let's Play" type videos on YouTube. Specifically the ones by X, JX23, Seananners and Bananapielord. All of them I loved and they looked like a blast to make, so I thought "Why not try it myself?". All in all, that's what I did.

Why Not Play: Minecraft is essentially a Let's Play series. Follow me through my adventures in the Minecraft world. No two videos or series are alike, after all the worlds are randomly generated!

Feedback, questions, ideas all of that stuff would be awesome if you posted it below and I'll try and answer and respond to everyone :)


Why Not Play: Minecraft
Episode Guide

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP1 Tragic Beginings
Description:
In this first episode I attempt to regain my composure after falling into a pit within the first few seconds of the game!

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP2 Pumpkins of Hope
Description:
Here is the second episode of Why Not Play Minecraft. In this episode I go on the hunt for some pigs to regenerate my health. I also stumble upon some randomly placed pumpkins and snatch them up.

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP3 Game Over... x2
Description:
In this episode, I decided to go outside and take on a Skeleton. This proves to be a very unwise idea! I then decided to start some renovations on my house, by adding stairs and flattening out my front garden.

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP4 Torrent of Doom!
Description:
It's time to delve deep into the cave that almost killed me in my first 10 seconds of gameplay! Yes, it is of course, The Torrent of Doom. What will I find down there?

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP5 Home Renovations
Description:
It's time to expand upon my pad and create a livable, open space :).

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP6 The Mineshaft Chronicles
Description:
I've added some things to my house, we also go on a digging adventure! Unfortunately, this episode can get a bit mundane, but never the less, it leads to exciting future episodes!

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP7 The Greate Pig Hunt
Description:
After facing a few skeletons in the mine shaft, I need some health and quick. The only problem being, I can't find a darned pig anywhere!

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP8 My Glass!
Description:
I show you some changes I've made to my base/fort (still gotta get a name for that!), burn some trees, build a bridge, fight some monsters. This episode is a real hoot!

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP9 The Pit with some S***!?
Description:
It's time to, once again venture into some caves, where my adventures almost certainly end in failure! It's the height of hilarity. The inaptly named Pit of Absolute S*** actually has a very large cave system in it! It's time to explore it, and then of course, die trying.

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP10 Allotrope of Carbon!
Description:
I'm back in the caves once again this episode. I face Skeletons, Zombies and Creepers, still no spiders though! I finally have the steel pick that I need to mine the allotrope of carbon that I so desperately need (aka diamonds xP). Hope you enjoy this episode!

Why Not Play: Minecraft EP11 Escaping the Caves
Description:
I need to find my way out of the caves before it's too late. In the end the caves prove to be too intense for my liking and I go for a little adventure away from my primary house. Don't worry, though, I'll be going back, because, as you know, I die very easily :).

Why Not Play: Minecraft - EP12 Skeletal Duel!
Description:
Carrying on just a little after the last episode, I attempt to kill some more evil beginnings. After dying... again, I'm back at my place and decided to further explore the cave from previous episodes!

Why Not Play: Minecraft - EP13 Redstone!
Description:
In this episode I decide to experiment with some redstone wiring. I manage to blow up some TNT and open double doors. Yeah, pretty basic stuff, but that's all I can do at the moment.

I have to thank MoonWerewolf and Corrie695 for teaching me the basics of redstone, thanks guys!

Also, little note, if you watch the game version in the top right hand corner, it changes twice, from 1.2.4_01 to 1.2.5 and then finally to 1.2.6. That's how long it took me to mine redstone, build the room and then properly learn it all xP

Why Not Play: Minecraft - EP14 Nether!?
Description:
I gathered all of the obsidian that I needed to make a portal into the nether, and so, it's time to venture there! I build a small shelter to at least give me some sort of safe haven, then just go out without a care in the world!

Why Not Play: Minecraft - EP15 ZOMG Diamonds!
Description:
Changes have been made to the caves I found. I also dig another layer down in the massive Pit of Absolute Jack S***. Once at the bedrock, I figure it's time to venture out and go exploring!

Why Not Play: Minecraft - EP16 DAMN YOU, Creepers!
Description:
As usual, I have some new things to show you and get you up to date one. Shortly after that I hear strange noises coming from above, an investigation is in order!

Why
Not Play: Minecraft - EP17 Pumpkin Express!

Description:

The official unveiling of the Pumpkin Express is upon us! Other than
that, to be honest, not really that much happens. There are some funny
moments here and there, so hopefully, you guys still enjoy the
episode!

Why Not Play: Minecraft - EP18 Building My Base!
Description:
In this 20 minute long episode, I build my new base... underwater! The format of this episode is a little different to that of previous ones, mainly due to the fact that building this place took a whole tonne of time, and would have been very boring to watch. So to combat this, I sped the video up 4x and did some post commentary.

Why Not Play: Minecraft - EP19 8 Blocks of TNT!
Description:
This episode I reveal a new project I've been working on the past two or so days. We then venture into the new found cave system and indeed have fun with 8 blocks of TNT!

Description:
Traditionally, the 20th Anniversary is the Platinum one, hence the title ;). I further explore the newfound caves and have a bit of fun around the place.
Description:
This episode we do some fun and exciting TNT mining, with a mishap! I'd also like to thank you guys, in the past 6 days, I've gotten another 58 subscribers, which is truly awesome :D.
Description:
It's Christmas Eve! I decided to do a video that is twice as long as my regular ones, but a bit different. In this, I tried to do as few cuts as possible, so most of it is one long clip. I tried to keep it interesting my commentating the entire way through :)
Description:
It's been a few weeks since the last episode, and for that I apologise, I've been away on vacation! Anyways, today we saw the release of Beta 1.2 with plenty of cool new features, I don't however explore them all in this video. Sorry if this episode is not what you expected, in terms of building a castle, I WILL do that in the future.
Description:
I figured it was time to start something new, and you know what? It was a GREAT idea!!
Description:
YIPEE!!! It's time to look at that mob spawner a little closer :D
Description:
I defeat the mighty power that is the Mob Spawner and take control turning the wrath it unleashed upon the world into a new base area :D

Awesome Let's Play!

I watched most of the series (still finishing it up) and it's one of the best let's plays I've seen. You should continue making them. Keep up the good work :D! ~HappyTim
