LOVE IT GREAT
Until Dawn Definitely gotta be next
From "How to beat" movies to "How to beat" video games? Now that's AWESOME.
i really hope he makes more survival of video games🥹🥹🥹
Yes 🍷🗿
How to beat..... Alien Isolation
You mean a movie game
@@THEBLACKRIGHTWINGERright? Lol i always see these more as the movie version of those old "choose your own adventure" books
So Abigail is the only character that didn't get torn a new one by your review I see. She didn't do much in the story but at least when she did, she wasn't as dumb on average. "No! We're safe in here and it's almost morning" is the smartest line in this entire game.
2 hours of nerd explains? HELL YES
i know right!
Hell yeah!!!!!!! 😁😁
Love it
Hell yeah!!!
Moral of the story, “never dump someone when you’re in the middle of nowhere. Wait until you get back to civilization.” That was a hilariously entertaining video; Definitely do more video games.
Taken completely out of context, you could have that backwards 😂
Moral of the story is men are emotional and irrational
"Because of the implications."
Qa
Yeah that's actually pretty good advice
2 HOURS WHAT. WE'RE EATING GOOD TODAY
Damn right. And it's two hours to hold me over til lunch
THATS WHAT IM SAYING 😩
Hell yea
Sho you right. I was wondering why he hadn't uploaded in a while.
Omg dude for real
This was FANTASTIC. I remember playing this game and thinking "this entire game would be avoidable if Emma and Jacob weren't such weirdos." It's amazing how you broke the entire game down; love the long-form content. I would definitely be down for more How To Beat Video Games.
Also why would Christ Hackett and his family run a Summer Camp full of kids. I get they need to make money and all but they are putting lots of people at risk. An if that were the case why would they end summer camp on the day the curse was about to begin just a few hours, till the monsters start coming out instead of say 3 days earlier then normal. Its a good thing the bus those kids are on didn't blow a fuse leaving them stranded.
@@silentecho92able right?? I’m sure the camp was established before they realized, but why would they continue once they found out?? What if one summer the monsters decide to go off schedule??? It wasn’t very well thought out.
@@thefudgems Would it have made more sense say. The camp counselors heard a rumor that the Hacketts always closes down the camp during days with full moons. An believe Chris Hackett might be involve in things that other people don't know about. So the camp counselors all decide to sneak back to the camp, on the day a full moon is to appear without Chris Hackett knowledge and see if the rumors of Hackett having illicit dealing are true.
Instead of Jacob doing something extremely stupid and Kaitlyn being complicit in it. It just a curiosity killed the cat kind of thing as only the counselors got something more then they ask for.
This is my problem with this game, the premise is just SO nonsensical. And everyone acts so weird.
It started with Until Dawn but it’s like the further they went along, the more they forgot how actual people act together
@@thefudgemsthe monsters can’t decide to go off schedule. They’re werewolves, they only come out during a full moon.
If the Nerd is up for doing games, I’d say Until Dawn would be the next logical choice. He could do a whole playlist on games like this, like games from The Dark Pictures Anthology series.
I was looking to comment this. Until Dawn would be perfect as it's pretty much just a CYOA game already
Until Dawn is basically just the good version of The Quarry. xD Very good game, and I normally don't like CYOA games.
@@Arc115YTI actually liked The Quarry. Maybe it’s just because I like David Arquette, Lance Henrikson, Lin Shaye, Ethan Suplee, and Ted Raimi, but it was entertaining overall. The characters made the most frustratingly stupid decisions imaginable, but I guess there wouldn’t have been much of a game if they did the smart thing all the time. I wanted to play Until Dawn, but I never had a PlayStation. I watched videos on it, and it looked fantastic.
was going to comment this!!! Nerd Explains pleaaaaassee!
Its funny i literally jus commented that
I can't believe you didn't show the herd of bears dialogue. Those are single handedly the funniest lines in gaming. "Herd of bears?" "Uh.. yeah, I've heard of bears". Peak. Comedy.
"Bear traps get their name from the fact that they're used to trap bears."
I normally just use them as booby traps around my illegal moonshine operation, but using them to trap bears makes sense too I guess.
Ohhhhhhh so that’s what I keep getting my feet stuck in when stealing your moonshine at night
Hmm I drop them off my balcony onto unsuspecting strangers but to each their own
I don't know where you are but where we have our moonshine operation we definitely have a bear issue as well, they're kind of Dual Purpose
@@aSipOfHemlockteaI just have nosey neighbours and they work perfectly against them and their offspring.
Aren't state police called bears? I think it works either way lol

Never thought I'd see him do a game. But I would love to see more
Calling this a game is a stretch
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic well we dont render and interact with movies do we? its a interactive movie ish game. its not a stretch at all
@@mertc8050 it's as much of a game as those choose your adventure books we had in the 80s and 90s.
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic still a difference though since when your reading a choose your own adventure book your not given sudden QTE's/ timed decisions or a gun to shoot things
@@just_bladeok2041 I guess, but it's barely a difference. I mean those qtes are about as much action as turning a page to be honest about it. Lol

WE'RE DOING GAMES NOW??? FUCK YES!!!
That stun gun discussion was actually really helpful, I will now be carrying my pepper spray over my stun gun .
This is the perfect example of how to do a Let's play but not do it at the same time. It's genius.
Boy you better remove that period in front of the A

I like these. 👌
A 2 hour video? The popcorn bucket is coming out for this one.
Did you bring enough for the whole class?
We getting out the cabinet with this one 🔥🔥🔥
The Dune popcorn bucket?
There are a lot of positive things I can say about this video. But chiefly among them is the fact that you kept the script at basically the same high quality for the entire 2 hours. Hats off to you and I'm looking forward to more of this.
Not only would I love to see more of this, you should cover all Supermassive games!
yes!! i think he’d have a field day with until dawn
@@ghosts_are_real I know I did when I played them!
Would enjoy seeing House of Ashes but any others would be nice too.
YES PLS
i know it doesn’t make sense but bc some of the games are ass and incredibly stupid would make the video even better 😭😭
The fact that I could name majority of the actor’s faces used is making me contemplate life
Hahaha same
2 hours of Nerd Explains ripping The Quarry to shreds?? What a delicious meal
i can already tell im gonna be rewatching this so many times just cause of the length, so much background listening
onb I js be watching this in the back ground 😭
Ok, I love the concept of nitpicking horror and survival games. Way to keep it fresh, Nerd
I love that Nerd Explains is a liberty minded and tactics conscious individual. He says all the stuff that I'm always thinking when I watch/play those same movies and games.
Bro I was wonder what you was cooking up for it to take so long and dude trust and believe doing a video game was an excellent change/choice. Appreciate it nerd
I love the absolute refusal to call these gremlins werewolves 😂
those black wendigos from until dawn were meant to be werewolves?
@@frozenfeonix1328 I’m as lost as you homie
@@frozenfeonix1328no those are just wendigos these monsters are were wolfs the guy just keeps calling them everything but a werewolf
As a mexican i can clearly say they are chupacabras
As someone who didn't play this, I thought they were until dawn Wendigo rip-offs or those descent-cave dweller types lol.
I have never needed 2 hours of SFW captions more than I do right now. Blessed be, Mr. Nerd.
A big shout out to Martin for working so hard in order to bring us the information we desperately needed to keep us safe from the ever present danger of El Chupacabra. I for one am putting in a vote to free Martin from his basement prison, I mean exclusive luxury containment unit. I think he deserves at least a few voice inputs considering the massive amount of effort it took to succeed the increasingly difficult QTEs on his excuse for a gaming console.
For real though, excellent content as always. And I do think it would be nice for some of Martin's input in scenarios like these. Especially if he was the one that played through the entire game to proved the content. So, that vote is a serious one.
My favorite part is the Nerd Explains Rules of Firearm Safety.
Would definitely watch a How To Beat UNTIL DAWN if you released it.
70s/80s/ even early 90s Navy Seals ALSO used the cone of light method. Top Tier former SEAL and guy who helped develop a lot of the modern Seal tactics Mark Cochiolo said that's what a lot of guys in his era did in CQB on his YT channel Tactical Hyve.
Just as everyone else has said a 2 hour Nerd Explains is something I didn't know I needed in my life but I love it!
I found your channel with the video 'Blood and Honey' and have loved watching your unique takes on horrifying situations ever since. Not only do you give perfectly sound advice to try and get through horrible circumstances I absolutely adore your twisted and crude sense of humor sprinkled throughout, as well. So it was a pleasant surprise to find you did this game and even more so for how long the video turned out to be. Therefore I would highly recommend that you do the same thing for 'The Dark Pictures Anthology' series, since basically they're so similar to this game that myself and many others were confused for a while thinking that this game was another episode in the anthology. Keep these awesome and really entertaining videos coming.
I think if I was there I’d simply be asleep,the latest I have ever stayed awake was 2 am
I’d just fall asleep and wake up in an electrified cage
For real. I am legitimately that person who was repeatedly invited to blunty, boozy hangouts by her peers and said with her whole chest "thanks but I'm really eepy ^u^" and just went to sleep.
I would be inside, doors and windows locked as instructed, and probably only briefly woken up by the gunshots but too drowsy to actually do much before falling back asleep.
@@Broeckchen hell I’d be asleep before the fire scene
Especially after an entire summer spent watching kids. Like??? I watched kids for one week and I was completely conked out.
You bet your ass I would maximize my first, worry-free night of sleep.
@@NatLaS if I was in the game
Loads up
Me:passed out in a broom closet
I love the concept and premise of this video! Survival games really tick all boxes for this "how to beat" genre and I'm here for it!
I also acknowledge that since this is a multiple choice-multiple endings kind of game, it must've been hard to decide how to structure the video, talk about what and when plus the different point of views throughout the story, so thanks for the 2 hours of content!
This is awesome. This just makes perfect sense to do a How To Beat style video with a game like the Quarry. I know most people are gonna suggest Until Dawn but I'd love to see The Walking Dead or Wolf Among Us by Telltale Games. The choices ACTUALLY matter in those games haha.
Lol, in the walking dead game clearly the choices are irrelevant
I feel like in most the telltale games it's more the little choices you make stick around but the major ones all lead to the same conclusion like how clem will swear if you do but it'll always lead to *spoilers* Lees death In the end although that is only a season 1 example
@@sirbeakle9949 They barely matter in this game either. These videos are always about what the characters SHOULD have done anyways, the walking dead wouldnt be very different
THE QUARRY IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE GAME AND YOURE ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMMENTARY CHANNELS THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER
I'm curious as to how? The story started out good but the "endings" ruin it for me. By just cutting to stills and explaining the endings just kinda killed the vibe of the game.
@@Cwhirt910 i totally respect & understand how you didn’t love the endings though i can see how they’d be sort of a let down all things considered but i didn’t honestly pay that much attention to it😭 i just remember hearing that they got blamed for all of it and thinking that was dumb but probably realistic and that was it lol
@@ghosts_are_real if u weren't oblivious and found all of the evidence they wouldn't have been blamed
@@thegarfieldtavius i don’t even remember that being a thing, i watched jacksepticeye and kubscoutz play it and i don’t think either of them were aware of that mechanic. atleast i’m not 100% sure, it’s been over a year since i’ve watched any play throughs of the game
A play through of all other Dark Picture Anthology games would be sick
Is this a dark picture game?
This isn’t a Dark Picture Anthology game; but he should do those too
@@Justusuave313it’s not but it is made by the same people
@@jaydenlima2313it’s made by the same people
I really just want you to know that I love the content and the effort you normally put into your work so the fact you increased your video and filled it up with so much great stuff I hope you and your employees are all doing swell
Would love to see more. Loved the "it's worse than anything you could ever imagine"😂
This is insane! 2 hours! Nerd, you are awesome! You didn't have to do 2 hours, not even 1, yet you did. Plus it's a video game. You truly love your fans, you go out of your way to entertain us and provide quality for us. Respect! 🤝Absolute legend! ❤
Gasp. A growling animal in the dead of night stalking me? Better wonder into it, in the dark, by myself.
What could go wrong
If it was going to attack me it would have been quiet, right? 😂
5:09
Imagine getting put in a life or death situation because of that kind of drama
"...And speaking of absolute wastes, let's jump back to Ryan and Dillon."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, Nerd needs to do more video games, I genuinely think he is best for horror games. I loved this, every single second.
Dude... This might just be your best one yet. You gotta do more of these!
So the question is if we're playing and choosing all the "right" options, or if we're only going by Nerd's expertise... also, I'm barely 40 minutes in, and I want him to cover Until Dawn too!
Two hours of slamming dumb protags? We are feasting today. Plus, expanding to horror games opens a lot of horizons for clowning on horror and survival scenarios! Can't wait to rewatch this!!
2 hours is a new record! Figures we get an upload right when I have to work
I don't play video games so I wasn't sure how well I'd follow along. But this was perfect. It was a cool change up just enough to be different but still kept in all the things I love about Nerd's videos- snarky, life saving advice 😂
I'm so happy you're doing this. Your channel is perfect for all of the Supermassive games!
Please do more games just like this, I don’t have time to play these kind of games anymore but I love listening to these kind of videos while cleaning or doing some other chore, hope to see more!
I feel like the game over played it's hand with Laura. She goes from camp counselor to monster hunter within the course of a couple months of relatively lack luster confinement. She's almost unrecognizable from the prologue by the end of the game; when honestly very little has happened to her directly.
"very little happened to her directly."
My guy she brutally lost an eye, was basically haunted by a witch from jump, got infected AND transformed, and is desperately trying to hunt down and avenge her boyfriend, out of guilt, who brutally got mauled and cursed in front of her from her own actions after both being imprisoned for 2 months against their wills.
Dafuq are you ON, bro??? 😅😂
The ONLY other person(s) who comes *_close_* to suffering as much as Laura is Dylan, Nick, Max, and maaaaybe 🤏🏽 Jacob 😆🤣
@@faizahmohammedaruwa Yeah I stand by what I said. All that being true does not turn you into a monster Hunter. The girl has zero relatability. None of her actions are believable.
Also half the things you listed happen AFTER she became the chupacabra Terminator.
The witch jump scare was nothing. Being held against her will for 2 months was bad but it's not like she spent the time fighting for her life...99% of the time they just sat there doing nothing. The eye loss is by FAR the worst thing that happens to her but that's no were near enough to chance her entire personality. AND if she was truly remorseful for her part in Max's infection then a normal reaction would've been to get him professional help immediately NOT try to hunt down a monster herself when she has all of zero experience doing so (seriously who thinks that's a good idea?)
Her getting infected saved her eye and her transformation saved her life and only lasted one night so I'm counting those as positives lol
Some of the stuff does make sense, for instance almost everything happened to her cause she refused to listen to the sheriff because she thinks she knows better then everyone, and once you see her like that it mostly makes sense, cause she messes up constantly, she killed Chris's daughter Kaylee, without confirming it was Chris's then left without checking if they were actually dead to check on her boyfriend which resulted in her getting bit, her stupidity resulted in mother hacket dying which either does kill or nearly kills herself, Ryan, the hunters and the sheriff and killed Chrism I think her actions make sense but her skills doesn't she's shown to be incredibly arrogant, stubborn and standoffish beforehand so her being self justifying in her actions cause she thinks she's better then everyone while also being dumb and incompetent makes sense however her sudden gun skills don't make sense at all but everyone is this game is apparently a good shot so I'll let that slide
@@just_bladeok2041I mean anyone can be a good shot at close range with a shotgun
@@TVMADus No, sure hitting a still target with a shotgun closeup is easy, but hitting a one shot kill something on that is near immortal, extremely fast and erratic while your in a life or death situation while also everyone except Kaitlyn has literally never held a gun before is very talented and everyone except Jacob handles the recoil of a shotgun surprisingly well most people when using a shotgun for the first time especially as their first ever firing a gun either fuck up their shoulder or heavily flinch from recoil but all except Jacob don't really have this
Nerd it would be absolutely perfect if you decide to cover more video games. I love to watch your videos when I workout and usually I go through 3-4 per session but long ones like these cover my entire sesh!
Nerd you should TOTALLY do more videos like this!
9:41 Love the “Great Outdoors “ reference ❤ 😂
Pls ive been playing this game for the past few days and this video from my favorite youtuber has me HOWLING🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥
This is a GREAT idea Nerd. Please do other games like until dawn, man of Medan, etc
Great game. I love branching narrative games & I'm a black belt at quick times.
ive rewatched this video so many times. i think the “choose your adventure” cinematic game is perfect. as a indie game designer its also helpful just seeing what options players consider
I slid off the road once, and the drop smashed my radiator and oil pan and crushed some exhaust pipes. It limped the 2 miles home, but it was toast after.
GOAT movie/game commentary, loved every second. Cook!!!
You have no idea how happy this is making me .
I love the quarry and I'm having such a bad week and seeing this pop i think is gonna pause my manic episode rn
Yeooooooo this game was so crazy 😂🔥 you the goat for doing this
Absolutely want to see more games Nerd! I was actually thinking Until Dawn was coming when I saw your post the other day. Would love to see that one!
I played that game weeks ago and wondered how I can beat that and you pop up? Man you’re reading my mind so well
I’m almost to 20-year-old dude and I audibly screeched when I saw the title of this video.
Fantastic idea and I am thrilled to watch it. Just don't ask me to finish it in one go... never mind. I binged it.
This 2 hour video makes the break worth it!
This is awesome!!! I’d love to see more games get covered and I very much like the longer video length.
SO EXCITED TO FALL ASLEEP LISTENING TO THIS
I was already wandering what you were doing the last couple of weeks. 2 hrs? Hell yeah!
WEEKS CHECKING EVERYDAY FOR WEEKSSSS AND KNOW ITS FINALLY HEREEEE
Currently playing thro this game again. It’s SO good. Highly recommend for everyone!!!!
More videos like this. Doesn't matter if it's a video game, it's entertaining all the same
This is your biggest and most ambitious video yet! Amazing work!
Bro, I'm so happy you're covering this game.
If you keep this up I strongly recommend and ask for you to do the Walking Dead Telltale series or any of their series
2 hr video on a game i love by a channel I love! Time to sit back and enjoy 😊
I love nerd explains you guys did perfect for game material and suming everything up especially when they put the intro in the middle saves alot of time I think the devs should of done it the same way
Bookmarking this for the weekend, can't wait.
2 hours of Nerd Explains?! VIDEO GAMES?!!!! I LOVE THIS. I AM HERE FOR THIS. Recommendations: Until Dawn and the Dark Pictures series.
this was SO GOOD please do more of these!!!
IM LOVING THIS NERD EXPLAINS EPISODE please make more i love the quarry and i love your channel its like a dream
Yoooo! How to beat video games is a great idea. I’d love to see more of this!
I would like to mention that we also get GPS locations of Cell Phone users as well, the outbound call can be a few seconds and USUALLY we can get a location within 20ft of the Device. Using third party applications usually we are able to get very accurate info.
Usually 911 Centers will have a way to dispatch a unit to a "911 Hangup" which explains to the unit that there is someone there that dialed 911, and 90% of the time, it was accidental but "Boy who cried wolf" plays in all of our heads so we treat every 911 Hangup with a rather high priority.
Loved the video! Also I'd be very interested in seeing more videos on this channel about games
This was definitely amazing. Definitely different from what you guys normally do, but it’s definitely a welcomed change. Plus it was nice that you guys were actually playing through the game, making the decisions yourselves to find the best solutions possible and then explaining how you could’ve done better. Since this just adds more to the amazingness that is your channel. Great job as always and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next in the future. I also wouldn’t mind seeing you guys do more “how to beat” video games, since they have a lot of potential for you guys to dissect and analyze.
I LOVE THIS GAME IM SO HAPPY U MADE A VIDEO ON IT AHHHH
Thank you!!!! Glad to have you back!
Seeing that this game was the one he's covering i was hoping to see the narrative happen while playing.
Kind of like a Playthrough with Nerd mode narrative
I tend to come back to this channel now and again to watch a bit of the backlog in release order, these videos are great when I’m pottering about doing housework. But when I saw this one I had to come straight here, the queue be damned.
The comments are clear: you do gaming content, we’ll devour it 👍
I challenge you Nerd to teach us how to beat any of the “Dead Space” games. Prove your mettle.
Dont go to space, check mate
@@thezerowulf2046unfortunately, Earth is in space, so it’s too late for us.
The subtle advice behind "Tell your lawyer to tell the police that you yelled stop before you shot him" is so good
Its not as good as you cleverly identifying the chupacabras correctly and your frustration at the fact that cutting off his hand worked. This is hilarious
Nerd going over videogames. Hell yeah, Hell yeah, Heeeelll yeah!
55:52 - This lecture was amazing 🇺🇲🦅
This is awesome, definitely do more of these
This playthrough is different from my first and second playthrough. Awesome!
Hell yeah man this is awesome, thanks for giving us great content
Pleas Do make more of this, it's the perfekt length to Listen to while doing someting else
