Nerd³ Drives A Desert Bus In VR

Settle down, it's going to be a long one.

Spoilers follow.

The last Desert Bus road trip is an almost iconic part of my video library. 8 hours of unfiltered opinion that lots of people like and lots of other people gave up a short way into. This video couldn't be anything like that. Nobody wants a sequel that's just a rehash, but how do I fill 8 hours of time in a totally different way? 

The answer was simple. Let's do a road trip. A proper one with all the games, arguments an...

Nerd³ Takes Ashens To Hell

Quite light content this week. Nothing too special, just me torturing a good friend with shite games. I'd love to write more but I played Desert Bus VR yesterday and, to be honest, I need to take the next fifteen years off. 

Goodnight.

PS. Next week is... well, pretty obvious what next week is. 3 Men, One Bus.

A New Series Starts Today...

A new series launches on the YouTube channel at 9pm UK time tonight.  Surprise!  

I did threaten that I'd be making more videos eventually and, over two months after tearing it all down I'm going to start building it back up again. 

I noticed a gap in what I was making. The experimental shit is great fun and I love thoroughly testing new games on Twitch but, well, Twitch isn't exactly great at promoting those games. If you see a game or not depends on when I stream, if you...

Nerd³'s Friends

Maybe one day I'll work out exactly how to release a video at the right time. Anyway, spoilers for this follow!

Next week is the busiest week of my year. It's packed to the rafters with tonnes of secret projects and lots of travel. That meant that this week needed to be a simple, quick video so I could get back ahead.

This video took 4 days to make. Whoops.

Last week someone linked me to this game (Mindshow), I tested it and immediately knew I had to make something with it. Basical...

Mario - In Pictures

This past week I've had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with international celebrity and moustache fancier, Mario. His new game "Mario Odyssey" has just released to worldwide acclaim and he hired me to capture a regular week of his life through my pictures. 

Here then, is a thick slice of Mario. Enjoy.

The week starts as any other. Mario scooters to work in his suit, ready for a day ...

Nerd³ Catches Sonic Mania

Hello!

I've just finished up next week's video and I'm exhausted. I'm not going to reveal a sausage of it until it releases but it was viciously tiring to make. You'll probably see why when it comes out.

Anyway, enough about that, here's this! Pretty self explanatory week, the only real difficulty was finding and arranging public domain stock footage to tell a story very, very quickly. Finding sound effects for all that was easier (most of the footage was silent) and speeding it up so it...

Nerd³ in... I Expect You To Die

Boy I had a busy week. Dad³ was visiting so we spent DAYS making many, many videos for his channel (one of which involves me, a high backed office chair and a failed attempt at The Riker Maneuver). Then I had some other stuff, illness and ended up with two days to make a video. I had no plans that would fit two days, so I decided to fling on something new and VR and have fun.

The game I chose, unsurprisingly I Expect You To Die, was superb fun. I loved the intro music and wanted to make somet...

Nerd³'s Royal Rapid Roster Rundown

Not much to talk about in this one. Just 3 separate recording sessions of increased pain glued together with around a thousand or so edits. Check out my voice cracking during the mobile game. Genuine pain! Woo!

Must be off, I'm wildly behind on next weeks video. I'll catch you all up on the next Patreon Podcast!

Talking about WWE 2K18's God Damn Loot Boxes

Taking stuff out of my head so that I can sleep. This post is public so everyone can... hmmm... enjoy is the wrong word... uhhh... listen... yeah, that's it.

PS. I forgot to mention that it's bugged to hell and back. Example: You can cash in for the Tag Team Championship and win it by yourself. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Nerd³ Attempts to Circumnavigate the Globe

Video time! As always watch it first as here be spoilers!

First up, I'd like to maaaaaybe try and do a weekly podcast for patreons. Just me talking about stuff. I wanna give you guys some non-video exclusives cause, you know, you rock. Let me know what you think in the talky bit below.

Second, today I threw out about a third of my book and changed bit of it to be more positive. I want a happy book and the 25 - 30K words I have so far are pretty fucking happy. 

Video time! Back...

Nerd³ Plays... Destiny 2

Be sure to have watched the video as this post will contain spoilers!

First up, we're gonna talk about Nerd³ as a company. Since it started back in 1933 or whenever it had two main goals.

1. To stop the taxman yelling at me.

2. To give people I care about a job.

That was it. That was the plan, and for the past 156 years it's worked a treat. I've put in minimal effort into the company part of my company because, quite frankly, I don't give a fuck. I don't care about money, I ...

Nerd³ watches strong pornography in VR

A few spoilers in here so give the video a watch first!

Not much to say about today's video. A stupid idea pumped full of English awkwardness. For a while this video contained little pictures and animations to show what was, for lack of a better phrase, going down. They were ditched after a while because, quite simply, it was funnier without them. 

Editing highlights here include that tiny "whoosh" to give my bemused face a bit more of a comedic punch, and the different, hand crafte...

Finished? Ok, let's talk!

If the first video was a statement of intent then this second video was a gentle application of that intent. It's quite a bit more "normal" than anything I've got planned over the coming months but it plays as a nice comedown from last week. It's sortof like the highest point a bungee jumper hits on the w...

Nerd³ made a Simpsons Tapped Out glitches slideshow

Awww here it goes.

Two weeks into my break I decided to start plotting my return. I wanted to make a statement of intent that I'm done trying to appease advertisers and I wanted something darker and more twisted than you'll see on other gaming channels. On top of that I wanted to take every piece of branding I have and set it on fire. Goodbye logo, theme, end screens, everything. A new era forged from the fires of the old.

So how do I manage that? Many ideas were planned and scrapped unt...

The title of the first video back is...

"Nerd³ made a Simpsons Tapped Out glitches slideshow"

Boom. Right there at the top of the post. Fuck you clickbait.

Anyway, first up this week you've got a new video glued to the top. It's of a super bizarre game and the last ever tests video! 

Don't have much more to share this week as it's a week of prep work. See you on the 16th right here to discuss the first video!

 Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

The First Three Videos Back

Above is the thumbnail for the first video back. Attached is the second. You may see a pattern. I don't want clickbait or even useful thumbnails, I want thumbnails that look good. Then again, I have no idea how to make a YouTube safe thumbnail for the third video. I'm working on it.

So now the first two videos are done, in the can, finished. The third is currently in the middle of production. The bulk is done and, for a weird idea, it actually came out funny as hell. The last ...

Nerd³ Plays... Slime Rancher

Holy crap, a Plays video! Just for you! Right now! BWAAAAAA?

Before I decided to take a break I'd already recorded this video. It's not as good as the Wrestling Revolution 3D video (what is) so I held it back. UNTIL NOW. 

Also, this post is public due to the fact I said I'd be off a month but I'm taking a little bit of extra time. Brand new videos start in just two weeks! Hooray! 

Patreons, if you hang around you're going to get to see the first few thumbnails of the new ...

The New Nerd³ Logo

IT'S HERE! IT'S NEW! IT'S NOT ACTUALLY THAT TERRIBLE! HOORAY!

PS. Yes, the video needed fifteen different fonts. That's just the mood I'm in today.

Nerd³ Tests... Mint

Here is a game simply called Mint. 

I have no idea what is going on with it at all.

Enjoy!

The YouTube Return

Hello everyone. I've decided to make this post public so everyone can know what's up. Patreons, you'll get another post right after this just for you with a new, unreleased video in! Hooray!

This week I've planned out the YouTube return. Changes are coming so let's run through the current plan.

Bye bye logo

Yep, the logo I've had for over five years is gone. It took many, many hours but I eventually made one that I thought was better. Going forward I wanted a logo ...

Week One and Hand Simulator

Good morning everyone.

So that's the first week of the break over and what a week it was! I've been hilariously ill so pretty much curled up in my chair playing Star Realms on my phone for the past few days. 

However, book progress has been made. Lots of words have been placed in a rather nice order. References to things nobody but me has seen have been made. I even put a joke in! Hooray!

Game progress is going nicely for the first time in forever, mostly because I'm letting t...
