Mate. Just quit youtube and start writing your own series. The talent you have could produce some excellent scripts and top notch television comedy. If I had a few million quid i would throw them at you but alas, it is not so. But don't mind me. I'm just some twat sending you a dollar a month. Best of luck in all you attempt. Ps. Stellar work since the reboot. Quality over quantity.

I'm personally not a huge fan of your ad lib with these two; I think it comes across as obviously adlibbed because there's a sense of one-upmanship. If that's the goal then it works it just breaks the illusion for me personally. Having said that, hello, Patreon! I just subscribed :-D

pst that's the easter egg ;-)

I can’t get the Easter egg link

Awesome video, ad great concept. Would love to see the actual video in the background

The video is already out, you just have to find if

I actually really liked this episode, I thought the comedy was great and I'm still surprised that it was basically one take, I'd love to see other videos in a non-typical format like this :) Just to elaborate I thought that all the random names and scenarios and even running gags were great, and l know that some people don't like this format even if it is a parody, but I enjoyed it.

I did not see that comming. Fucking class Dan. Might've topped VR pornography commentary. Maybe. Just.

Sorry but it really didn't work for me this one. I made it to 5 minutes till I started to drift and check other peoples reactions to make sure I wasn't missing something. I f@cking hate DVD commentaries and even a parody joking one is still boring as hell! Its just my opinion and I'm not telling everyone who enjoyed this that they're wrong. It's just not what i come to the channel to watch sorry. I prefer Dans more spontaneous style.

I found the easter egg!

I really liked the concept, the copyright stuff at the beginning was brilliant. Otherwise I felt the execution was maybe a bit lacking. Ashens was brilliant but the rest of the dialogue felt a bit stunted at times. Definitely wouldn't say it's your best work, not by quite a way. But it was cool, and still looking forward to next week.

Josh (destofworlds)

Brilliant. The concept was genius and the execution was perfect. I genuinely think this might be the best thing you've ever done.

Simply brilliant. I love your creativity, and I'm really glad that you're finally able to use it without limits. This video was hilarious, and the editing was phenomenal. Now I seriously want a Nerdcubed DVD!

I find myself saying this about every one of your new videos, and I feel like it's starting to lose meaning, but believe me when I say this: This video is the best video I have watched, from you, of all time.

What was the Easter egg

From an editing stand point, this is by far and away my favourite thing you've ever made, and the DVD commentary style between you three just stands to make it better. Bravo Dan, you've outdone yourself with this one :D

Dan I love the detail and easter egg is wonderful, thank you sir.

I was kind of disappointed by this video, I think the editing was great and I know a lot of work was put into it but I didn't find any of it funny. It kinda felt like it was a chore to watch, the only times I laughed were when the actual commentary video in the background was played instead of the other thing. I really wanna see that actual plays video, and I'm just giving my input, not whining and trying to tell you to change your channel

Hooray Matt! Hopefully this means there will be Nerdcubed for a long time to come. Also loved the video, already one of my absolute favourites.

Mirriky

These video's you are making are absolutly worth the wait between, and you are truely building your best now I hope matt taking things over helps everyone, and the best of luck to him with it all

May

I found the easter egg and now I can watch the whole thing again

God dammit dan! I downloaded ur vid so I could watch it on the drive home from my Cottage -__- now ive jst become a patreon using a $50 birthday visa (which I actually didn't even think of doing till now Jesus) jst to find the god damn Easter egg cause im a blind inept twat. (ps thank u random guy who posted a link to it LOL)

m0sifer

It's a bittersweet feeling because I loved the old let's plays and I'm going to miss them, but this is an objectively better and more creative creation.

Peter Boin

Loved it!

This was amazing

Matt Eden

The entire thing is an act of brilliance. Impeccable.

Is there any chance you could upload the real plays vid to patreon? I loved the commentary, but any more Nerdcubed is wonderful; I just love watching this stuff!!

Very good video. I'd say I preferred last weeks, but this was still top notch stuff. The dry humor of the commentary was beautiful.

So basically you're Tony Stark and Matt is Pepper Potts. You aren't secretly dying, right? Just checking.

h3.

that was brilliant.

double video this week? I mean... technically. But I'm still super happy about it, that was enjoyable all the way through twice

George Farren

Skrillex. AMARITE?

MrAndyTF

Very clever, enjoyed it :-)

I can't get the easteregg to work :( EDIT: NEVERMIND! also good god dan use a font where a man can tell a capital I apart from a lowercase l!

OK. So I know a Patreon comment isn't the most appropriate place to tell you my thoughts on your channel since your return, so I won't. What I will say is this..... I am gonna step away for a bit.

Jack

Amazing just amazing loved the Easter egg

Dan, This video is shear brilliance, everything down to the editing and the accuracy of starting up a DVD with the menus and language select was so well done and is possibly one of my favourite videos you've produced, well done.

I really enjoyed and appreciated the editing in the beginning. The rest of the video fell a bit flat. Somehow you made a "gimmicky" video, where the only real point was to piss off fans of Destiny. This probably worked, but didn't really leave anything good for the non-destiny fans either. The commentary was fine, but didn't really serve a purpose. You just talked about stuff that wasn't relevant at all., and only a little bit of it was funny (IMO). Knowing there was a proper video in the background that I couldn't really watch was just annoying. It felt like watching a movie at the cinema, but everyone in the cinema is talking loudly. I am sure someone will find this video hilarious tho. Ive allready seen people call this the greatest video you have ever made. I personally can't understand that at all tho... Excited to see what other content you will bring in the future

Mattophobia

Get back to work.

Nicholas Robinson

I didn't really like it that much. I think the biggest problem I had with it is that the commentary had not a lot to do with the actual scenes playing out most of the time. It felt more like a podcast about a made up movie than anything else. I enjoyed the easter egg a lot more than the plays :/

I kinda want to see the plays video behind it... maybe as a link to an unlisted video?

Mind giving a hint? :p

Harry Jupp

Fucking gold Dan... Gold.

Diane Frank

As soon as you did the "commentary ON" bit, I was so excited. And you guys delivered. I could feel that it was a one-take, some of the "toss a set up line" bits were obvious, but didn't really matter, that happens way to much on normal commentaries, too. As for the rest, oh, operating at a loss is not fun. May Matt have much success. And major kudos to you, Dan, for forcing yourself to let go of that level of control - relying on people to be better at something than you are is a huge deal, and not everyone gets that it's a good thing to do that. But anyway, as you said, now you're free! It's Matt's problem now!

Dan, Thanks for the best birthday ever. Absolutely loved the new video and the greatest easter egg ever!!!

Silent viewer up until now, gotta say I’m still not sure how this episode sits with me, but I’m happy that with our donations you can make content that sits well with you. 👌

(EDIT: that was an answer to a deleted comment) Yes I saw it, and added a small EDIT at the end of my comment. Yet, it doesn't change my opinion on the recent events. I don't want to go extra steps to find my content :)

Douglas Myers

very mixed feelings about this one actually. I love the idea but I felt like the joke cannibalized itself. Like, it started off as a great parody of lets plays in general and joking about destiny 1 v 2, but it went from that into joking about commentaries in general and lost something. There were a few things that were funny but as it went on there just weren't as many. Note: while i do enjoy destiny, its not because of the gameplay i recognize its shit as a single player experience, but I enjoy playing with my friends so i get where you wouldn't enjoy it as much, and yeah, the animation is bad.

This was one of my favourites on the channel! As I said in the Patreon comments last week, please continue to make weird content and bring me out of the 'Nerd³ comfort zone' which I have been in for the last 4 years. Props to Ashens and Wheezy too, I assumed their parts had actually been written so I was even more impressed when I found out the entire thing was ad libbed.

Daniel Auty

that was amazing Dan, gotta say that easter egg was great. I rewatched the whole video to try find it. Finally realised, nicely done!

Hey, I just wanted to put my two cents on this whole situation and video. I didn't like the video, and that's OK. I haven't liked everything you've done in the past and I don't expect to like everything you'll do in the future. I've watched your video since... a very long time, but silently. I'm part of the your community that doesn't say a thing. I never commented a video, I never liked or disliked a video. You're an entertainer to me, I watch you because you entertain me, and to me, that's the whole deal between us. I don't owe you anything and you most certainly not owe me anything. I watch the video, you get payed because I did, end of the business. You're not where you are because of me, I did not made you and you'll never have to thanks me for that as I'll never thank you for entertaining me. However, my taste and yours evolve and they may differ at some point, and once again, that's OK, that's how it should be, everyone should keep evolving. But I must say, after all those years I kinda got a little thing for you. I think you have potential, I think (this may sound selfish) you could entertain me for quite some years, and that's the reason I became a patreon, to show my support, to show "I think you can make it" (and yet again, you don't owe me anything in return). So I understand very well the "I'll make content I enjoy even if my community falls apart because of that (or at least shrink)", and I have no right no tell you that you're wrong. I just wanted to say that at some point in the future, I might delete my patreon account because a part of me belongs to the part of the community you're culling. The part that can take any amount of dick jokes, politics, bush planting, but wants funny videos with "old Dan". OK my comment grew quite big and I'm not sure it'll be interpreted as I wanted, but at least I tried. And I really want to enphase one thing: this is not me telling what to do, or telling you that you're wrong or anything. Just me giving my opinion at the bar while holding my beer. EDIT: while the nerdcubedplaysdestinty2.s01.e01 is the kind of video that entertain me!

look at the © at the end

You clever bastard, very well hidden link!

Interesting change of direction, i admire the effort put in as well, personally though it seemed a little forced and unfunny. Just my point of view though, a lot of people seem to love it, and I like that you're getting more creative and personal with your content

DrgnMstrAdam

what does that mean?

Tristan Stubbs

Another great video! More of this collaborative trio wouldn’t go amiss. I would be interested (and I’m sure I’m not alone in this) to see the original video too - not because I’m a Destiny fanboy, but because it’s most likely still great stuff!

People are saying that they want the old Dan videos back, but these are the most 'Dan' videos there will ever be.

LeeJ2512

Genius I loved it. Obvious question incoming: can we get the version without commentary too?

Max Tal

I fucking love that so much

FlamingYeti

God, I Didn't even make the Executive Producer list. Can you believe it?! Not happy, and I'm certainly not involving myself in the next episode.

Valthexus

I don’t know what to say... I didn’t really enjoy it but I’m shocked with myself! I think I will have to watch it over again. I enjoyed the menus and warning though. I felt confused but understood it. Please tell me that your doing Microsoft flight sim or something next week! That sounds like a good video! I think the videos you have made so far have all been some of your best! Just keep it up because the videos are interesting and I can kind of see what you did!

TheLexikitty

This is beautiful. I loved the fake UI feel. There should totally be commentary tracks for old videos with Ashens and Wheezy.

I FOUND THE EASTER EGG HOLY FUCKING SHIT WOW :D

Tustin2121

Hehehe....

Samuel Miles

I don't think he ever said that he would post these new videos early on Patreon. The Plays and Tests that we got before everyone else were because he had already recorded them before deciding to go on a break.

Tustin2121

I loved the menuing bits, honestly. I had to go back and check to see that the Epilepsy Warning wasn't something custom with a joke I missed when it went away too fast.

I think I might be in love with your content. It's all been so perfect.

Shawn Lindsay

that was great, I did realise at points i was listening to it like it was a real commentary track

Good Job. Very Different from the previous three uploads but that is certainly not a bad thing; it's a good thing. It makes me look forward to the next video as I have no idea what to expect!

Gofres

Fucking fantastic Dan.

Found the Easter egg! V: 10 A: 10 good rip

I was enjoying the whole thing, do have to say that I miss traditional videos just a little bit.

Zoe Bateman

Fuck me that was honestly one of the best videos on the entire channel. It seems to get better every week somehow, good job. Keep it up!

Addison Reilly

Well Adam, Well well well....

alex

So err can you release the plays video?

That was fucking exceptional! I couldn't stop laughing at the wheezy clone joke at the end!!

DrgnMstrAdam

Can we have the original gameplay video please?

Kudos Dan. I'm sure it was tough to make that change. I know how it is, I'm great at many things just terrible at being an adult. My wife has to make schedules for me and I'm 30.
