PATREON EARLY ACCESS: Nerd³, MATN, and Matt's Alaskan Road Trip
Added 2020-05-28 19:01:00 +0000 UTC
Hello!
The Podcats crew returns with this all new suicidal mission to drive a few kilometres across Alaska. Cars will break down, friendships will implode and two of us fall over. Enjoy!

Matt P.S. This video took a lot of work (That intro took a lot longer than you might think, for example). I'm very curious to hear your thoughts, as this is the channels biggest video in a good while. Please let me know if you spot any errors too since I'LL FIX THEM DAMN IT. Oh and the title and thumbnail are subject to change, since I can't stop tweaking this video.
Also, unusual ask, but when this video goes public tomorrow I'd appreciate if you'd consider sharing it around. It's not something we normally ask, but this one is a gooden. <3

This video was brilliant! Even the super long outro with the looping audio made me chuckle and also realise just how big a thing I was a part of.

Goddamn brilliant. Finally had a chance to watch it straight through, nearly choked laughing every 30 seconds or so. Best fun I've had from a video in a long time.

The video is great but the underappreciated best aspect is the pace - even though it's an hour long the pace is really nice and snappy throughout especially cutting between cameras to add to the comedy where necessary. Stellar job.

echoing everyone else here but that intro was some incredible work Matt, whole thing was better than the new top gear was honestly

The intro is absolutely amazing!
2020-05-29 22:30:10 +0000 UTC
OK yes that was a very nice intro

That was an amazing editing job, loved it!

Yeah stuff like that is annoying, couldn't restructure the entire 4.5k of names just to fully fit in the 3 or so that are way too long for some reason, sadly.

This was a little too much being stuck and not quite enough actually getting stuff done for me.
Mike Jones
2020-05-29 11:40:53 +0000 UTC
Absolutely fantastic. I really hope you guys do some more stuff like this!!
Brandon Mays
2020-05-29 10:13:51 +0000 UTC
Incredible. I was in tears laughing at the intro

It’s been a very long time since I’ve laughed out loud to a youtube video. But this one honestly had me in stitches. MORE!
2020-05-29 09:36:22 +0000 UTC
Absolutely loved this, the whole thing was fantastic. Well done the three of you!

I was hoping you’d do this game, and then its also a podcast so it’s the best video ever made
2020-05-29 07:30:30 +0000 UTC
For some reason when I made this account I set my name to John Smith I spent 5 fucking minutes trying to find my name in the credits. I can be an idiot sometimes.
2020-05-29 06:30:41 +0000 UTC
This might be the best video on the channel right now. Except for 59:17, that you fucked up.

Dan was excellent but Matt did an amazing job editing it together!
Daniel Bennett
2020-05-29 00:42:58 +0000 UTC
Great video, and you nailed that intro.
Also, I had never considered quite how many patreons there were, and how many's names began with A! (Nice job cleanly looping the theme for the credits!)
RaptorBricks

Daniel Clarkson, Matt Hammond and John May are hilarious together!

IT SURE IS! It's listed as a goal on the Patreon page, which was hit. :p

Spinning thing is a weird one! It's the N3 logo without the white. In the actual Top Gear intro, it's literally a round spinning gear that integrates with the logo at the end. So in terms of replicating the Top Gear intro, the N3 logo is the only option. It is admittedly more jarring than I'd like, ALTHOUGH I'M UNSURE WHAT'D WORK THERE INSTEAD.

Though in retrospect I did turn away from the screen after watching the intro and think my room was melting upwards for a second so maybe watching them all wasn't a good idea
Tonie Platten
2020-05-28 22:41:40 +0000 UTC
Definitely watched the entire outro just to see my own name once I realised what was happening. Incredible intro!
Tonie Platten
2020-05-28 22:40:46 +0000 UTC
I purposely made them so they'd kind of just fade away if you didn't care about them - but were glanceable if you weren't sure what camera it was on. Did you get confused at any point as to who you were looking at?
Mattophobia
2020-05-28 22:38:46 +0000 UTC
maybe a pun for the name could be funny, something like top cats?
Rhio Hamilton
2020-05-28 22:28:41 +0000 UTC
phew, im not the only one who was furiously looking for my name.

Okay, I haven't been watching a lot of nerd3 lately but this video was just amazing. It kept me entertained during the whole video! The editing is nice and snappy and jumps at the right times just to emphasize the entertaining conversations that you guys have! Great job! Also great intro, I wouldn't mind seeing that more often in the future!
Thanks for the great laughs!
2020-05-28 21:52:06 +0000 UTC
Woo! My name's in the credits :D

That top gear intro was fucking fantastic
Max Hancox
2020-05-28 21:29:12 +0000 UTC
40 seconds in and I'm loving it well done Matt
Wilfred Gibbens
2020-05-28 21:26:23 +0000 UTC
Everything about this was exceptional. That intro was amazing, gave me chills of nostalgia. And I feel kind of bad for you for writing all of those names in the credits. This is why I contribute for. Fucking aces, man

2020-05-28 21:00:59 +0000 UTC
I've only watched the intro and I've paused it to comment how awesome the intro is and what a good job you did on it Matt :D Now to resume!
2020-05-28 20:56:02 +0000 UTC
Honestly, if the only videos you made were roadtrips/long form collaborations like this, I'd be all for it.
2020-05-28 20:50:38 +0000 UTC
Wonderful intro of nostalgia
Karl Blythe
2020-05-28 20:41:04 +0000 UTC
I'll be honest Matt, the intro was amazing, except for whatever that spinning thing was. That did not work for me at all.
Rowan Mackenzie
2020-05-28 20:39:44 +0000 UTC
Flawless work on the intro! Amazing. You guys are absolutely gaming's new Top Gear
Joe Howard
2020-05-28 20:33:23 +0000 UTC
That Intro is fucking beautiful
Aidan Hughes
2020-05-28 20:31:24 +0000 UTC
Wonderful video! The intro is brilliant, definitely worth all the effort, and seeing the Podcats crew fucking around is always a delight. I agree with another comment about the names being hard to read though, it would probably be nicer to just make them more solid, even if it means losing that portion of the screen. I got used to knowing who was who by the cars after about 20 minutes though, admittedly.

Excellent vid, great intro edit and very enjoyable and funny, knew it was only a matter of time til dan "not a team player" would sabotage!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I love it. I also love that it takes 3 minutes to go through all the Patreon names

I was grinning ear to ear by the end of that intro.

This is genius. Can you three do an actual car show?
2020-05-28 20:07:53 +0000 UTC
I love Snowrunner, and this video is greatly improved/made a disaster by the fact that not a single one of them has actually put enough time into the game to have a good vehicle.
2020-05-28 20:06:09 +0000 UTC
I don't normally like these because they just devolve into shouting, but this was actually a nice mix of funny shouting and actually getting things done. I realise I'm boring for disliking the shouting but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dylan Evans

I missed this... It was so good :)

WELL DONE MATT best youtube intro ive seen in a long time if not ever
2020-05-28 19:25:19 +0000 UTC
Just a thought the names in the corner are quite hard to see
2020-05-28 19:18:01 +0000 UTC
That opening is brilliant! Im sure the rest of the vedio will be as well

To get on my Android TV I usually just add to Watch Later, I assume it would be the same for Apple?
Alexander Whattam
2020-05-28 19:14:02 +0000 UTC
I'm not even a minute in and I can already tell this is beyond brilliant. Totally wasn't expecting this amount of quality, no offence Matt. The only thing I can say atm is that the journey will not bode well when they get offroad as I found out when playing it for the first time on release day! All in all, fantastic work for the intro there and I'm definitely going to share around.

This is very cliche, but I literally have never clicked on a video faster in my life.
2020-05-28 19:07:07 +0000 UTC
Is there any way of getting these patreon videos on my appleTV?
2020-05-28 19:05:18 +0000 UTC
i remember when nerd^3 played the tech demon of spins tyres like... years and years ago, for plays or something... never thought id see the new releases featured on the channel. :D

That intro was worth the pain Matt, I really enjoyed the nostalgia of the best episodes of Top Gear. It's real good.

Yessss, I'm so glad this is actually a thing. I knew when Jon first mentioned this as a possibility it could totally work :D
