Jon's voice combined with relaxing games like this help me calm down so much. I've severe anxiety and sometimes it's incredibly helpful just to sit and zone out to stuff like this. Originally subscribed for Fallout but anything this guy puts out is gold
So..we gonna talk about how during the red/orange co-op sections Jon was the killer? not the otherway around. So it games over not because you died...but because you killed your friend.
Dam the feels. Absolutely right about it being in a similar vien to Thomas was alone. That one was voiced over which worked really well, I think partly because of the voice acting quality, but also the way the narrator gave meaning and character otherwise simple shapes. Whereas this game gives unassuming lines meaning and character via interesting game mechanisms without saying anything. We need more games like this! Or atleast more narrative games that are more subtle, and can explain characters/theme/world without overbearing exposition
Not sure if you noticed this Jon but when you ran into the friend lights (or they ran into you) I'm pretty sure you actually killed them. You can tell because one of the times you bumped into the orange friend the surviving line went around a sharp corner, which only your light can do.
Jon.. Not sure if you are motivated by these kind of things, but I thought you should know that your videos and humor has helped me through many dark days! I would absolutely love to meet you at some point!
29:10 Jon, the times when you had a friend, YOU kill THEM when you collide. So... you just called your friend a dick for getting killed. By you. Dick. And Red "Friend" Line was Pink Line.
Poor white light, he was just learning to love again when orange too was ripped from him like his poor red before. Will this jaded veteran be able to keep his son safe from the demise of his mother? buy the game to find out.
I love these interesting videos you have been doing lately. I wish they weren't just one offs though, sometimes its your personality that makes the videos worth it rather than the games itself!
It is a game about a light on a line and it has already propped questions about racism, love , camaraderie and also brain damage. Damn, that is the most game packed in the smallest package.
It's for mac! Definitely playing this, though $10 for lines seems kinda steep.... Going to stop watching because I was sold on the game after 4 minutes.
Jon this was the most beautiful minimalistic love story I've ever seen, thank you Jon you made my day...now I just want to know who's the child's baby daddy
Reminds me a lot of Thomas Was Alone. You should play that, Jon. It's a fantastically simple little puzzle game about friendship and diversity. I think it would be right up your alley.
Apparently he did but didn't make a video on it. He said that in the comments once. Also, he literally starts talking about how this reminds him of Thomas Was Alone like halfway through the video.
趙 憲 One dimensional. Lines and curves are long, but infinitely thin. As this takes place on an open curve rather than a closed figure, it is one dimensional.
Emmett Weiss They killed it and are doing Nerdcubed online now. I don't watch or like the new thing, just not as good. It's just them playing games together like with any other gaming channel collab, so you don't get the same interplay or discussion or anything from what I can tell.
Hate to be the barer of bad news, but the Podcats is done. Instead of that they do a weekly game livestream on Wednesday's and Dan uploads a news thing to his channel on Sunday's.
Hey Jon, if you like Metroidvanias (I can't remember if you've ever covered one), check out Hollow Knight. At this early point in the year, it's currently my GOTY. Maybe Yooka Laylee will win out, but we'll see.
Literally in the middle of crafting a love narrative about yourself and the orange light
-Orange disappears offscreen...

Kitty Heavily seconded.
Kitty Very much so. He is very similar to Boo in some ways...
Kitty amen

32:20 "The reds have been defeated" -Jon the Commie Killer
Not sure if you noticed this Jon but when you ran into the friend lights (or they ran into you) I'm pretty sure you actually killed them. You can tell because one of the times you bumped into the orange friend the surviving line went around a sharp corner, which only your light can do.
This was relaxing, and then I started screaming because I got the puzzle faster.
Eventually I stopped screaming and was simply in a constant state of bewilderment to Jon's ineptitude. Example: 28:21
Jon.. Not sure if you are motivated by these kind of things, but I thought you should know that your videos and humor has helped me through many dark days!
I would absolutely love to meet you at some point!
You know, I thought Jon was quite good at puzzle games.
Then I watched him solve the puzzle at 9:45
You know what orange, I think me and you really have something spec... aaaand it's gone.
Story of my life with girls.
Ouch. I feel you man.
I wonder if Jon got early access for Mass Effect: Andromeda...
-Ok i see how it is, you're subscribed to a imposter pig and not the original! OK I SEE HOW IT IS!- Oink
Only the access fro Origin Access - it's downloading now
War Pig Burn! And I'll consider it.
Many A True Nerd Nice. We're at peace now Jon.
Wait how do you know about games if you're in the ancient age?
This game should be called "introduction to circuits". Believe it or not jon you are an engineer at heart.
Bridge Ballast
29:10 Jon, the times when you had a friend, YOU kill THEM when you collide. So... you just called your friend a dick for getting killed. By you. Dick.
And Red "Friend" Line was Pink Line.
28:21 Why did you circle around him? Just to taunt him?
I was hoping that as you are backstabbing your fellow Romans, you would have uploaded a Rome episode for the Ides of March.
this can't be the credits, you were the linelight, you were the linelight
Saw the title and this started playing in my head immediately!
more of this would be great
did anyone else notice how the transitions where he couldn't controls it looked like heartbeats?
Hi Jon, Thanks for making great videos!
Poor white light, he was just learning to love again when orange too was ripped from him like his poor red before. Will this jaded veteran be able to keep his son safe from the demise of his mother? buy the game to find out.
I love these interesting videos you have been doing lately. I wish they weren't just one offs though, sometimes its your personality that makes the videos worth it rather than the games itself!
Some lovely chill puzzle games lately, with this and that Where's Wally type one. Where do you find these gems?
I literally watch the Steam release closely enough that a game doesn't launch without me seeing it for at least a moment, and this one looked cool :)
Jon, you always have the best games. Thank you!
Its unbelievable how much emotion the developer created using coloured lines, this is truly the perfection of the art of game design
It is a game about a light on a line and it has already propped questions about racism, love , camaraderie and also brain damage. Damn, that is the most game packed in the smallest package.
Every time Jon says Kaboom take a shot
There should be a "kaboom" counter in this video
Hey Jon! You should really revisit "The Descendants" as the full game is out now! if I recall correctly you only played the first 2 episodes.
Fredrik Myhrvold I think you mean Herald, not that odd Disney drama thing.
I genuinely felt sad about the pink light going offscreen. :(
my cat enjoyed this video also.
It's for mac! Definitely playing this, though $10 for lines seems kinda steep.... Going to stop watching because I was sold on the game after 4 minutes.
That feel when the notification of a new video isn't of the new emperor of Rome.
Jon this was the most beautiful minimalistic love story I've ever seen, thank you Jon you made my day...now I just want to know who's the child's baby daddy
Jooooooonnnnn. Please bring FTL back please with mods perhaps
please do
Reminds me a lot of Thomas Was Alone.
You should play that, Jon. It's a fantastically simple little puzzle game about friendship and diversity. I think it would be right up your alley.
Apparently he did but didn't make a video on it. He said that in the comments once. Also, he literally starts talking about how this reminds him of Thomas Was Alone like halfway through the video.
Not sure why this reminded me of Sugar, Sugar, but have you played that one?
Maybe red and orange met after they left...
Is the music loud for anyone else?
Like linelights that pass in the night...
Reminds me of Chip's Challenge from the 90s
Play The Talos Principle. You will like it, it has an Ancient Greek aesthetic in some of the levels...
Will you do convention
Any plans to play The Witness?
I am a line made of light...well yes light does tend to come inlines...unless you a refraction god
You should play the game " Museum of simulation technology" it's only a demo right now but I think you would enjoy it.
Why you uploading so late!?!?
You're denying me my sleep!!!
On Wednesday, I upload a shorter video a bit later, due to the doing Nerdcubed Online earlier in the evening :)
are you gonna play the new mass effect when it comes out?
This is a cute gam, I love it!
you ever thought of playing Age of Empires?
Did you ever play Thomas Was Alone?
I did, but before this channel existed, I think :)
It's amazing what a few rectangles and a Danny Wallace voice over can do
Almost first still counts...
... right?
Lost Connection no
Lost Connection maybe I don't know (◉✿◉) ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿’̿’̵͇̿̿з=(◕◕)_/¯
Hey it's Steve the dinosaur! You entertain me when my comp doesn't connect to school internet. ty
Lost Connection Take it from second, no it doesn't.

Red Light is Best Girl.
do you feel intensely relaxed Jon?
Eh, seems pretty *1* *diminsional*
2 dimensional
趙 憲 One dimensional. Lines and curves are long, but infinitely thin. As this takes place on an open curve rather than a closed figure, it is one dimensional.
Sorry, as much as I liked that pun, it's two. A point is one dimension. 2D animation is lines.
this is 3d. What about how thick it is. it has a length and a width. something 2d has only one of those qualities
ba-dum-tss?
My summer light?
I think jon catchphrase is kaboom
"It went kaboom terribly, mind."
What is the story....?
Am I the only one out of the loop on when you guys are gonna do the next podcats?
Emmett Weiss They killed it and are doing Nerdcubed online now. I don't watch or like the new thing, just not as good. It's just them playing games together like with any other gaming channel collab, so you don't get the same interplay or discussion or anything from what I can tell.

podcats is dead
long live nerd3 live
Great Video Jon
Jon there is a cool game that's been out for awhile that seems like the type of game you'd play it's called hand of fate
TheAvenged Gamer I think he's done a miniseries on that one
34:22 OR maybe you have many a true pairings.
Hey Jon, if you like Metroidvanias (I can't remember if you've ever covered one), check out Hollow Knight. At this early point in the year, it's currently my GOTY. Maybe Yooka Laylee will win out, but we'll see.
This really reminds me of Thomas was alone when red light left...
Puns intensify
WHERE IS THE ROME "IDES OF MARCH" SPECIAL?
BTW love ya Jon
OTP white and orange
hi Jon

*Skyrim weeps, lonely in the distance*
We want Skyrim!!
Looks like a game made by electricians.

Dang it Jon stick to one colored girlfriend already you playa lol
Eh. The gameplay is good, but the characters are really one-dimensional.
gang gang
Still be better story than Mass Effect: Andromeda
3RD
third
I might not have been the first viewer, but I got first like
+James R he means he was the first to like the video.
not be rude but you shouldn't talk as much in this, the soundtrack is beautiful, good video none the less
Wouldn't really make it Jon though. Don't get me wrong, the soundtrack is damn good, but his constant analysis/speaking is why a lot of us watch him.
First!
Jon has revealed his leaning... Rectanglophelia
