    Lemmings don't actually walk off of cliffs, the rumor comes from a documentary about Lemmings that Disney made.

      One of the things that makes the older videos so different is the music. The new ones mostly use stock audio, but the older ones used a bunch of old-school videogame music and chiptunes. It seems minor, and it took me a long time to notice, but it makes quite a big difference. I also think the older videos had more elaborate and exaggerated jokes, which is funnier to me. I still like the new videos, however, and since we're getting close to episode 200, James might be planning something big for that, so let's see what happens.

      He should give the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man the Nerd treatment because it and the infamous ET game nearly killed the video game industry

    I hope all is well James, this one didn't feel like it had the usual energy of previous nerd videos.

      Based on the ending i think it's meant to be a parody about how Pac man 2 is different from the usual pac man stuff.

    This game looks great visually, and I like the idea of game that combines elements of games like Shadowgate and Lemmings. It may not be executed correctly but I like where they were trying to go. Sometimes when you try to Innovate you don't always hit a HR.
